Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen has introduced a bill that contains new language for the oath of citizenship that includes a pledge for new citizens to faithfully observe the laws of Canada, including the Constitution, which “recognizes and affirms the Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples.” Hussen says the proposal demonstrates the Liberal government’s commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and a renewed relationship based on the recognition of rights, respect and co-operation.

Canada’s backlog of asylum claims will likely reach 100,000 by the end of 2021 before stabilizing, up from 75,000 today, the chairperson of the Immigration and Refugee Board told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday.

Le Devoir – Immigration : Marine Le Pen appuie les mesures de François Legault
Le nouveau premier ministre élu, François Legault, s’est fait une alliée peu fréquentable : Marine Le Pen a appuyé sa position « pour moins d’immigration ». Dans un gazouillis, Mme Le Pen, qui est présidente du Rassemblement national, a répondu : « Contrairement à ce que serinaient les libéraux immigrationnistes béats, les Québécois ont voté pour moins d’immigration. La lucidité et la fermeté face au défi migratoire sont le point commun des élections de quasiment tous les pays du monde confrontés à cet enjeu. »
Toronto Star – Ford Government Blasted for Cuts to Refugee Kids
As the Star reported Monday, the government plans to eliminate the Transition Child Benefit on Nov. 1 as part of its overhaul of social assistance. Ontario opposition leaders say it is “heartless” and “shameful” for the Ford government to be killing a program that helps refugee families and other parents on welfare feed and clothe their children while they wait to become eligible for Ontario and Canada child benefits.
