CBC News – Immigration Lawyers Report Canadian Muslims Being Denied Entry to U.S.
Those denied entry include a prominent Guyana-born Toronto imam who serves as a chaplain with the Peel Regional Police and an Iraqi Turkmen community leader who has family members fighting ISIS in the Middle East. The two men — who were denied entry at different border crossings and were not travelling together — are among at least six Canadian Muslim men who have been denied entry at the U.S. border over the last two weeks. The men and their families, all of whom are Canadian citizens, were given little in the way of explanation.
Toronto Star – Ontario Urged to Encourage Immigrants to Look Beyond the GTA
According to the Conference Board of Canada report, 45 per cent of Ontario’s 13.5 million people live in the GTA, but each year almost 80 per cent of new immigrants settling in the province make the region their home, meaning that most of Ontario doesn’t get enough newcomers to sustain their communities, and that even more pressure is being put on an already strained housing pool and other services in the 905. Last year, 106,000 immigrants settled in the GTA, while just 31,000 made their homes in the rest of Ontario.
Global News – Report Suggests Ontario Needs a New Regional Immigration Strategy
Ontario’s small communities could benefit from the influx of immigrants that are disproportionately settling in the Greater Toronto Area, a new report said Thursday. The study from the Conference Board of Canada said the number of newcomers settling in Ontario last year starkly illustrates the disparity between the GTA and the rest of the province, noting the current settlement levels have potential to strain the resources of the provincial capital while preventing other regions from reaping rich economic rewards.
La Presse – Migrants irréguliers : Ottawa verse 250 millions à Québec
Le ministre des Finances, Bill Morneau, a confirmé cette décision par voie de communiqué jeudi après-midi, permettant ainsi au gouvernement Trudeau de tourner la page sur un dossier qui avait provoqué des frictions entre les deux capitales. Depuis 2017, quelque 43 000 personnes sont entrées au pays de manière irrégulière. Plus de 90% d’entre elles ont franchi la frontière canado-américaine en passant par le chemin Roxham, près du poste frontalier de Lacolle.
ICI Toronto – L’Ontario a besoin d’une stratégie en matière d’immigration, suggère un rapport
Un nouveau rapport exhorte le gouvernement provincial et les municipalités de l’Ontario à faire davantage pour attirer des immigrants dans d’autres régions que celle du Grand Toronto. Selon le Conference Board du Canada, 77 % des nouveaux arrivants dans la province s’installent actuellement dans la région du Grand Toronto, ce qui constitue à la fois un avantage économique et une pression sur les infrastructures locales et les aides sociales.
Toronto Star – Immigration in Nova Scotia Not a Yes or No Question, Experts Say
The billboards that went up in Halifax, Regina, Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto last week showed the message: “Say NO to Mass Immigration.” For Jennifer Watts, the question implied by anti-immigration billboards that went up and down in a flash over the past week is the wrong one for Canadians to ask. “Our reality is, in fact, we benefit and we have always benefitted from immigration,” said Watts, CEO of the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia. The non-profit offers settlement services such as language classes and employment assistance.
