About 800 refugees are going through screening tests in Lebanon and Jordan daily, Mr McCallum said.
Mr Trudeau, who swept the 19 October Canadian elections, has a different stance on refugees than his predecessor, the conservative Stephen Harper, who did not wish to resettle more people.
Unaccompanied men will be excluded from the resettlement programme but officials said this had nothing to do with national security concerns.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he rejected the idea of "exclusion" for single men.
"We want them to have a roof over their head, and the right support," said Mr McCallum.
"It takes a bit of time to put that all in place. We're happy to take a little more time than originally planned to bring our new friends into the country."
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~
