La Presse.ca – La Presse en Colombie-Britannique : entrer au Canada comme dans une auberge
La semaine dernière, le propriétaire d’une auberge de l’État de Washington a été arrêté et accusé par le Canada d’avoir offert des conseils à des clients voulant passer illégalement la frontière.

National Post – Canada to Boost Presence Overseas to Attract More International Students
Canada plans to expand its presence overseas in an effort to advance classroom diversity and boost economic benefits that already amount to billions per year. The economic effects of foreign students nearly doubled between 2010 and 2016, when they reached a total of $15.5 billion in Canada for everything from tuition fees to rent and groceries, according to a federal analysis. To put that in perspective, the document says the sector supported nearly 170,000 jobs in 2016 and had greater economic impacts than Canada’s exports of auto parts, aircraft and lumber.

Border Security Minister Bill Blair isn’t backing down on Liberal claims that Conservatives are “fear-mongering” on the immigration file, even as his own government comes under fire from refugee advocates who say proposed changes would strip asylum seekers’ rights.

Global News – Syrian Refugee, Deaf Actor From Regina Stars in New Netflix Series
Mustafa Alabssi stars in the recently released Netflix series Black Summer, an apocalyptic drama and spin-off of Z Nation. However, it’s the 19-year-old’s story that’s leaving a lasting impression on Hollywood. “My hope for the future would be that it’s not impossible for deaf [people] to be involved in shows,” Alabssi said through an interpreter. Alabssi is originally from Syria, where he attended a deaf school and learned Syrian Sign Language, but his family was forced to flee to Jordan when war broke out in the country.
CBC News – $3.1M From Provincial Nominee Fees Going to Newcomer Support Programs
The provincial government is directing $3.1 million to newcomer support services across Manitoba, it announced Friday. The money will come from revenue generated by application fees from the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program.

The province is distributing the funds to 17 organizations across Manitoba, including the Manitoba Interfaith Immigration Council.
