New figures from the federal government show 16,503 people were intercepted by the RCMP last year crossing between formal border points, likely to seek asylum in Canada. Those numbers are down from 2018, but overall, the number of people filing asylum claims in Canada has risen. The data from the Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship department shows that in 2019, 63,830 of those claims were filed, up from 55,040 in 2018.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard shot down a Ukrainian International Airlines aircraft as it left Tehran on Jan. 8, killing 176 people on board, including 57 Canadians. Twelve of those passengers were from Edmonton. Most had a connection to the University of Alberta. The tragedy focused attention on Edmonton’s Iranian community, estimated to be around 5,000 people. The desire to educate and foster pride in the community served as the impetus in 1987 for the creation of the Iranian Heritage Society of Edmonton.

Mayor Valérie Plante stood in front of 10 red doors inscribed with messages like: “Let’s open doors to employment for them,” and “We hold all the keys.” The life-size doors on display at Complexe Desjardins aim to illustrate the barriers that still face immigrants in the job market and to urge employers to hire them. “Even today, the doors to employment are still mostly shut rather than open for immigrants,” said Plante, as she launched a month-long public awareness campaign with Shahir Guindi.
In 2017, Quebec experienced a wave of refugee claimants streaming across the border to apply for asylum in Canada. Many of those people are still waiting for their hearings with the Canadian government. They’ve been waiting so long their 2-year work permits are now expiring, and many people able and willing to find work on their own are out of a job and on public assistance. Three refugee organizations confirmed with CTV that this is becoming a significant issue for refugee claimants.
A Nova Scotia chocolate maker who came to Canada as a Syrian refugee has become a Canadian citizen. Tareq Hadhad, the founder of Peace by Chocolate in Antigonish, took part in a special citizenship ceremony Wednesday in Halifax. “It’s amazing,” he said after the ceremony at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. Hadhad’s family had made chocolates in Syria for more than 20 years, but their factory was destroyed in a bombing that forced them to leave the country in 2012.
