Voies vers la prospérité: Canada

Le maire Gilles Lehouillier souhaite faire de Lévis « la terre d’accueil de l’immigration au Québec ». Pour y arriver, l’intégration des nouveaux arrivants doit se concrétiser bien au-delà du marché du travail. La Ville souhaite démontrer que les quelque 4000 personnes immigrantes qui habitent maintenant à Lévis sont beaucoup plus qu’une solution à la pénurie de la main-d’œuvre.

In early August, Kimberlee Moran and her husband travelled to Ibadan, Nigeria to adopt their two-year-old son Ayo. The Abbotsford, B.C. mother said they used a “reputable adoption agency” and ensured all of their documents were in order before they submitted the second portion of his citizenship application. Kimberlee said they expected it to be a “fairly simple” process and they heard from other adoptive families this final step would take up to a week to process; however, she has been stuck in Africa for a month.

Some of the famed White Helmets, a group of volunteer humanitarian workers the Canadian government helped rescue from war-torn Syria, have arrived for resettlement in Canada, and more will be on their way soon.

Carie Dexter Willis, 58, was convicted of sexual assault, extortion and breach of trust for assaulting a woman between June 2003 and the following December. The woman, who Willis was supposed to be deporting, testified at Willis’s trial in the spring that he offered to bury her immigration file in exchange for sex. Willis was sentenced in August of this year to six years in prison. But Willis returned to court this week to seek an interim release. He is free on conditions while his appeal makes its way through the courts.
