Three years ago, Ms. Bakarian was sitting in Lebanon, part of a family of four Syrian refugees facing an uncertain future with hope of making a new start in Canada. Fast-forward those 36 months: Ms. Bakarian is in her third year of aerospace engineering at Montreal’s Concordia University. She’s got two part-time jobs with promising prospects in her field: one in the parts department at Bombardier Aerospace and another at Stratos Aviation, a small aviation and flight simulation firm. There, she’s co-created her first invention in the lab she’s building.
Just over 64,000 refugee claims are awaiting a decision from the Immigration and Refugee Board. Refugees are now waiting close to two years to have their cases heard. An independent review identified persistent and systemic problems and a history of failure to manage spikes in asylum claims and backlogs. It recommended changing the way the board operates, including bringing it under the authority of the immigration minister. This recommendation was met with wide opposition from some who would prefer the board remain independent.
The poll, conducted exclusively for Global News, found 54 per cent of respondents feel that Canada is currently too welcoming to immigrants.

The Newcomer Health Clinic in Halifax is supposed to transition patients to a permanent family doctor or nurse practitioner within two years, but that largely isn’t happening. A big reason is that there simply aren’t enough doctors. Of the clinic’s roughly 1,800 patients, 46 were transitioned to a doctor or nurse practitioner in 2018, according to the Nova Scotia Health Authority. The majority self-transitioned, meaning they found a new doctor on their own.
The federal government has scaled back an immigration program designed to help newcomers adjust to life in Canada that was used by fewer than 10 per cent of immigrants despite having its budget nearly tripled in 2015. As of Jan. 1, Ottawa is funding just 16 organizations to deliver pre-arrival services, down from a high of 27 in 2015. The program’s budget for the next five years is $113 million, or $22.6 million per year, down from $32 million in 2016-17.
