Global News – Online ISIS Supporter Deemed a Danger to Canada Ordered Released from Custody
Immigration and Refugee Board Member Geoff Rempel ordered the release of Othman Hamdan on Friday afternoon, rejecting the Canada Border Service Agency’s concerns that he is a risk to national security. While Rempel acknowledged the release involved “a level of danger to the public,” he said it was less than in other cases and Hamdan had no history of committing violence in Canada. He imposed more than two dozen conditions on Hamdan, including that he not drive or possess weapons or electronic devices capable of accessing the Internet.
Montreal Gazette – Trudeau Called to Intervene in Deportation of Bisexual Asylum-Seeker
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been called on to intervene in the case of a bisexual asylum seeker who has been ordered to be deported to Guinea on Saturday. Karim, whose real name is being withheld for security reasons, had appealed to the federal court for a reprieve, arguing that he feared for his life if sent back because of his sexual orientation. He arrived in Montreal in 2016. The court’s decision not to grant a reprieve was rendered at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

On ne croit pas son histoire de bisexualité, jugée frauduleuse, car trop similaire à trois autres cas passés.

CBC News – N.L. Working to Ease Application Backlog as Immigration Interest Increases
The Ball administration has stressed the importance of immigration to Newfoundland and Labrador’s future, but people trying to come to the province through two key programs have recently faced longer waits in having their applications processed. That’s according to internal provincial briefing materials obtained through access to information. The minister in charge of the immigration portfolio says there is a good-news reason behind the bad-news backlog — a big bump in the number of people seeking to come to the province.
Global News – B.C. Woman Blames Provincial Red Tape for Trouble Getting Afghan Refugee to Canada
A B.C. woman says provincial regulations are keeping a refugee from coming to Canada, even though he has sponsors and a job waiting for him upon arrival. Sayed Ahmadzia Ebrahimi has spent the last 18 months in Lesbos, Greece, living in a refugee camp after fleeing Afghanistan. His wife and three children are still in their home country, while he left to seek a better life for all of them. He’s desperately trying to get out of the camp, known for its deplorable conditions.
