Voies vers la prospérité: Canada

La marine maltaise a secouru mercredi matin cent migrants qui se trouvaient à bord d’une embarcation dans laquelle deux cadavres ont été trouvés, a annoncé dans un communiqué le gouvernement de La Valette. Le bateau, qui prenait déjà l’eau au moment de l’intervention des forces maltaises, était à environ 68 milles marins (environ 125 kilomètres) au sud de Malte.

Over 2017 and the first quarter of 2018, 1,055 more Americans were granted permanent residency than the average number during the Obama administration. Student visas granted to U.S. citizens increased by 1.012 in 2017, compared to the average number over the eight years before that. There could be factors other than politics at work: English fluency is worth more points than it used to be, says Toronto immigration lawyer Guidy Mamann, which tends to favour Americans.

A year after government-sanctioned violence triggered the exodus of Rohingya minorities from Burma, Canada’s closely knit Rohingya community is holding a vigil on Saturday to remember the victims and draw attention to the plight of those who survived the trauma and face repatriation. “We must not forget the survivors of the genocide. These are not refugees. They are survivors,” said Saifullah Muhammad of the Canadian Rohingya Development Initiative, which represents the estimated 450 Rohingya across Canada and organized the event at Queen’s Park.

The report from the Angus Reid Institute analyzes polling data going back to 1975 to show that a relatively constant number of Canadians — around one in four — have always said they think immigration levels should be decreased, while support for keeping levels the same has tended to be slightly higher. A survey conducted in late July by the Angus Reid Institute, however, does show a spike in opposition to immigration, which the organization says coincides with “more frequent and increasingly fraught conversations about policy regarding immigration and migration.”

The Rainbow Railroad Station will raise money to sponsor people fleeing persecution for their sexual orientation and gender expression around the world. Once they’ve arrived in Canada, the organization will support the newcomers to settle in Calgary. The station was formed with support from Rainbow Railroad, an international organization headquartered in Toronto, but will operate independently in Calgary. The Toronto-based group will refer cases of LGBT people, who have escaped life-threatening situations, to the Calgary station.

Alors qu’un sondage montre qu’un Canadien sur deux croit que le pays doit accueillir moins d’immigrants, les problèmes migratoires et un message défaillant du gouvernement Trudeau expliquent la méfiance de la population, selon des spécialistes. Pas moins de 49% des Canadiens estiment que la cible de 310 000 nouveaux arrivants au Canada en 2018 est trop élevée […]
