ICI Saskatchewan – Une mère de Regina doit prouver son attachement à son fils pour éviter l’expulsion

Une Réginoise d’origine hongroise, dont la demande de résidence permanente a été rejetée, doit prouver que le fait de rester avec son fils de 4 ans est dans l’intérêt supérieur de l’enfant. Un agent d’immigration avait statué que la séparation causerait, certes, des « difficultés émotionnelles » mais ne « romprait pas les liens » établis entre eux. Elle a trois semaines pour y répondre de façon à convaincre un agent d’immigration, sinon elle devra être expulsée du pays et se séparer de son fils, Jayden, né au Canada.

Radio-Canada – En Estonie, l’extrême droite rejoint une coalition gouvernementale

Un parti politique d’extrême droite connu pour ses positions anti-immigration et euroceptiques a conclu un accord, samedi, pour devenir l’un des trois partenaires au sein de la coalition qui formera probablement le prochain gouvernement de l’Estonie. Le Parti conservateur du peuple estonien, ou EKRE, a indiqué que sa coalition avec le Parti du centre (centriste) et le parti conservateur Fatherland créerait une majorité gouvernementale dans ce petit pays balte, qui est à la fois membre de l’OTAN et de l’Union européenne.

Globe and Mail – False Promises: Foreign Workers Are Falling Prey to a Sprawling Web of Labour Trafficking in Canada

Kuldeep Bansal is among the more notorious of the thousands of job recruiters and consultants operating both in Canada and abroad. A four-month Globe and Mail investigation probed 45 such agents, who together have amassed scores of complaints, lawsuits and charges against them in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec. Along with employers and career colleges who paid them to help fill their job openings and classrooms, they collectively stand accused of exploiting at least 2,300 people in recent years for their money, their labour or both.

CBC News – Opposition to Quebec’s Bill 21 Intensifies as Minister Pleads for Calm

A week after tabling the legislation, opposition to the Coalition Avenir Québec government’s plan to ban certain public workers from wearing religious symbols is growing more organized — and more vitriolic. Politicians in Montreal’s west end at the federal, provincial and municipal level came together Friday to speak out against the ban. Hampstead Mayor William Steinberg told a news conference the ban amounts to “ethnic cleansing.” The remarks prompted Immigration Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette to appeal for calm, as he did last Thursday after tabling the bill.

CTV News – ‘Beyond Words’: Family Torn Apart by Rwandan Genocide Reunite in Canada

Debbie Assimwe survived the Rwandan genocide in 1994 but her parents and eight of her 10 siblings did not. In 2008, she and her daughter immigrated to London, Ont. Her brother Robert survived the genocide but his wife was killed. So when he died a decade later, his death effectively orphaned his four children. For the past 10 years, it became Assimwe’s mission to adopt and bring them to Canada. On Friday, she was reunited with her orphaned nieces and nephew at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
