Toronto Mayor John Tory says his city needs urgent help from the federal and provincial governments to deal with a surge in refugee claimants, who now account for nearly 40 per cent of the people in the city’s strained shelter system. If the rapid growth continues – refugees made up just 11 per cent of Toronto’s shelter population in late 2016 – Toronto could be forced to enact an emergency plan that would see some of its community recreation centres closed and converted into temporary shelters, officials warn.

The idea that “anyone can become a refugee under the right circumstances” is the focus of a new exhibit in Halifax that walks you through someone’s journey to Canada, and the country’s humbling history when it comes to its treatment of those seeking safety. Refuge Canada opened last month at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. The 4,000 square-foot exhibit has interactive displays to thrust observers into the mindset of a refugee, as well as startling statistics on Canada’s treatment of refugees.
L’administration Trump subit un revers important après qu’un juge de la Cour fédérale se fut prononcé contre la décision de mettre fin au programme DACA, qui protège de jeunes immigrants de l’expulsion.

Paul Stevenson, vice chairman of the committee that helped bring the Tomas family to P.E.I., says plenty of assistance will be provided to get the Syrians settled. The committee made many repairs to an apartment in Charlottetown that will be home to the family. Committee members will also be working on befriending the family, taking them shopping, tending to different needs, all in a collective effort to make them feel they are a part of the community. Tomas expressed great gratitude toward the people who brought his family to Canada.

The head of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) has announced plans to revamp the organization’s complaint process following an investigation that revealed allegations of “aggressive” and “incompetent” behaviour by two former refugee judges. Paul Aterman, IRB acting chairperson, said that going forward, complaints against refugee and immigration judges will continue to be investigated even after judges leave the IRB.
