National Post – Toronto Teens Facing Deportation to U.S. Get Last Minute Reprieve with Help from MP
Redwan and Shuruvi Mozumder, Toronto siblings who were scheduled to be deported from Canada Monday, have earned a last minute reprieve. The Canada Border Services Agency informed the pair Sunday night that their removal, planned for 9 a.m., had been cancelled, said their lawyer, Richard Wazana. The decision came after a weekend of intense lobbying by the Mozumders’ MP, Liberal Nathaniel Erskine-Smith.
Globe and Mail – Ontario Reverses Plan for Deeper Legal-Aid Cuts
The partial reversal was announced after legal aid lawyers said the cuts will mean more courtroom delays and a lack of legal help for the province’s most vulnerable. However this year’s reduction of $133-million – or 30 per cent of Legal Aid Ontario’s funding – will remain in place. The cut was supposed to rise by $31-million by 2021-22. Ontario also blocked all legal aid funding from being used for refugee and immigration cases, arguing these areas are under federal jurisdiction. Ottawa later pledged a one-time financing of $26.8-million for immigration and refugee legal aid for 2019-20.
CBC News – B.C. Exhibit Marks 100 Years Since Policy Change Allowed South Asian Women to Join Their Husbands in Canada
It’s been 100 years since immigration laws changed allowing women and children from South Asia to join their male relatives in Canada. The policy change was passed just before Christmas in 1919, permitting the families of immigrant male workers in Canada to move here and settle down. The Sikh community on Vancouver Island is marking the historical milestone this month with an exhibit that debuts at Victoria city hall on Monday.
CBC News – New Survey to Track Problems Newcomers Face While Securing Immigration Status
A new survey developed by the university and the Greater Moncton Local Immigration Partnership is trying to get a better understanding of the realities of immigrating to the city. “We wanted to see what the experiences of people were if they didn’t have full immigration status or who might be finding that insecure or temporary immigration status [is] impacting their access to services,” said Krista Johnston, the lead on the project. Johnston said researchers don’t have a lot of information about immigration outside major Canadian cities
La Presse – François Legault, un champion de l’immigration qui s’ignore
En 2019, si la tendance se maintient, le Québec aura reçu un plus grand nombre de travailleurs étrangers sur son territoire qu’au cours des 10 dernières années. Et tout ça, en respectant scrupuleusement des quotas d’immigration revus à la baisse de 20 %. Vous êtes bluffés ? L’explication est pourtant toute simple. Pendant que le gouvernement de la CAQ limite l’immigration permanente, celle qui est comptée dans le fameux quota de 40 000 qu’il défend becs et ongles, il encourage l’immigration temporaire, qui n’y est pas comptabilisée.
Le Devoir – Des immigrants racialisés peuvent rester sous-payés pendant trois générations
Les enfants et petits-enfants des immigrants noirs ou latino-américains continuent, au Canada, d’avoir des salaires de 25 % à 35 % inférieurs à ceux des immigrants moins reconnaissables sur la rue. Les revenus d’emploi des immigrants issus de groupes racialisés sont, en moyenne, inférieurs de 26 % à ceux des autres immigrants au Canada, rapporte une étude du Centre canadien de politiques alternatives (CCPA) qui doit être dévoilé ce lundi.
