CBC News – Pandemic Complicates Life for Hundreds of Refugees Hoping to Stay in Sudbury
Maureen had started building a new life in Canada, even when she wasn’t sure she’d be allowed to stay here. And now even that is on hold for the refugee from Kenya now living in Sudbury — because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Absolutely everything about confronting the COVID-19 pandemic is connected to human rights. There can be little debate about that.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left thousands of refugee claimants across the country in legal limbo as cases aren’t moving forward and many services they need have been reduced.

The move, though necessary in the face of the pandemic, is likely to create a backlog of cases in the system, further delaying a resolution to cases that sometimes take years to resolve.

CTV News – Canada-U.S. Border Cracks Open to Asylum-Seekers Under New Closure Arrangement
The Canada-U.S. border has opened slightly to asylum seekers under the new framework unveiled this week extending the historic shutdown. Those who have been crossing irregularly into Canada are still being turned back. But the federal order laying out the terms of the new border arrangements says those who arrive at formal land border offices and meet certain criteria will be allowed in.
