Info Radio-Canada – Ceux qui forcent les serrures pour loger les migrants
La France peine à faire face au flot continu de demandeurs d’asile sur son territoire. L’an dernier, le nombre de requêtes a bondi de plus de 20 %, pour frôler les 125 000. Conséquence : le système d’hébergement des migrants est débordé. Visite à Nantes, une ville passée aux solutions extrêmes. Ce n’est pas l’odeur qui se remarque en premier. C’est d’abord la désolation du lieu qui frappe.
CBC News – Migrant Caregivers Make Fresh Call for Better Immigration Program
Migrant caregivers organized a sombre Mother’s Day brunch on Sunday calling for the federal government to ease barriers to permanent resident (PR) status. Care workers set up a display at Bloor Street West and Spadina Avenue to symbolize the family they wish to bring to Canada from their home countries. Filipino care worker Jhoey Cruz has been separated from her two daughters for 16 years. Cruz said the prospect of bringing her children here is bleak since Canada’s current caregiver immigration program expires in November with no firm replacement program in place.

Now, the 15 members of the Harper family who all helped renovate the apartment together are applying the finishing touches, before a refugee mother walks in with her three daughters to call it home.
Globe and Mail – The Accidental City: For Scores of Rohingya Refugees, a Safe Camp Is Hardly a Home
Hundreds of thousands of refugees from Myanmar are busy setting up their lives in a corner of Bangladesh. They have escaped brutal repression and any talk of being repatriated is dismissed: the Rohingya simply do not trust the regime in the country they fled. But no one knows where they will settle for good, and finding hope for the future feels impossible for many.
CBC News – Supreme Court Says Migrants Can Bring Detention Challenge to Judge
In a 6-1 decision released Friday, justices ruled in favour of Tusif Ur Rehman Chhina, a Pakistani national who challenged his prolonged detention in a maximum-security remand centre in Calgary. He was detained because he was deemed a security risk. His case was reviewed regularly by an immigration tribunal, which repeatedly ordered him detained as a flight risk. The majority of the justices found the tribunal process does not provide for a review that is “as broad and advantageous” as a hearing before a Superior Court.
