CBC News – Syrian Refugee in Windsor Left Without Medical Care After Bomb Blast
When Suzan Kewan was critically wounded in a Syria bomb blast, her husband was told he could bring her to Canada to get the surgery she needs. After all, she required specialized treatment which could not be accessed in Syria. But after bringing his family to Windsor in 2015 Kewan’s husband, Walid Al-Rebdawi, said he received unexpected news from two medical specialists who expressed little hope that anything could be done to improve his wife’s condition.
CTV News – $74M Not Enough to Cut Refugee Claim Backlog: Internal Documents
Documents obtained under access-to-information law show the Immigration and Refugee Board drafted costing estimates in November 2017 showing it would need $140 million annually plus an additional $40 million in one-time costs to finalize 36,000 extra refugee cases every year.

Toronto Star – ‘It Feels Really Harsh:’ Refugee Families Struggle with Massive Travel Bills from Federal Government
From a refugee camp in northern Iraq to a townhouse in south-central Edmonton, the Maree family was met with people and places they never envisioned. But the Marees were also greeted with something they weren’t expecting; a $9,000 bill from the federal government to cover flights, an overnight stay in Toronto, and the medical exams required before their arrival. It’s debt that all refugees must pay upon their arrival to Canada, but one that settlement workers and volunteers say weighs heavily on the Maree family and other newcomers fleeing war.
CBC News – What Makes a Neighbourhood Work for Newcomers? Researchers Want to Know
A team from Carleton University, the University of Ottawa, and the Université du Québec en Outaouais is studying what makes a neighbourhood work for newcomers. “We’re looking at how the context of the neighbourhood, the environment of a particular neighbourhood may provide amenities or may lack amenities that have an impact on how well a newcomer can do,” said the U of O’s Luisa Veronis on CBC’s All In A Day. The researchers are looking at Mont-Bleu in Gatineau, Que., as well as Overbrook-Cummings and Ledbury-Herongate in Ottawa.
Global News – Undocumented U.S. Migrants May Have Chance of Working in Canada, Immigration Lawyer Says
The Immigration Department said there has been no official change in the requirements for temporary Canadian visas and would not comment on individual cases. The department did say each application is considered on the specific facts presented by the applicant. As long as they show the applicant is not criminally inadmissible, is in good health, can financially support him or herself and has all the required paperwork, and he or she agrees to leave the country when the visa expires, the applicant can be granted access to Canada.
Toronto Star – Threats Abound on Yellow Vests Canada Facebook Page, Raising Questions About Free Speech
The Yellow Vest movement in Canada has challenged policies seen as hostile toward the oil-and-gas industry, such as the carbon tax and Bill C-69, but has also broadened to criticize “mass migration,” illegal immigration and globalism. It doesn’t take long to find posts criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the Yellow Vests Canada Facebook page. Some wish harm would fall upon the prime minister, while others suggest that the commenter would like to be directly involved in the violence.
