Le Figaro – Europe : l’Italie rebat les cartes sur le dossier explosif des migrants

Le nouveau gouvernement antisystème italien, très dur sur le dossier des migrants, bouscule des Européens toujours incapables de s’entendre sur la réforme du règlement de Dublin.

CTV News – Letter to Spouse Applying for Permanent Residency ‘Offensive,’ Kwan Says

A letter sent by a Canadian immigration officer to a couple questioning the legitimacy of their marriage includes language that Federal NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan says is “offensive and insulting.” The letter, from a Canadian immigration officer based in London, England, to a female applicant from Pakistan, says her permanent residency application appears suspect for a number of reasons — including that she is three years older than her husband, a Canadian citizen who has lived in Canada since 2005.

CBC News – More Venezuelans Denied Entry to Canada as Country’s Political, Economic Crisis Deepens

A Gatineau, Que. doctor says Venezuelans caught in a deepening political and economic crisis at home are being unfairly being denied travel visas to Canada. Gabriela Prada said she hoped her sister and mother could visit to attend her daughter’s graduation, but their visa applications were turned down. A letter explaining the rationale for her sister’s refusal cited family ties to Canada and turmoil in her home country. Prada said that decision is inappropriate and runs counter to Canada’s foreign policy position that condemns the escalating humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.

Global News – Irregular Border Crossings Drop, While Romanian Asylum Claims Soar

For the first time since January, the number of people crossing the Canada-U.S. border between legal checkpoints seems to be falling, according to the latest government numbers. The final tally for May is not expected to be made available for another week or more, but if the average number of daily crossings holds, it will represent a notable shift in activity at the border. As of Dec. 1, 2017, citizens of Romania and Bulgaria no longer need a visa to travel to Canada for short stays of up to six months.
