Despite the days away, they were not disqualified from the program and have been granted permanent residency with the freedom to move anywhere in Canada. The figures provided to The Canadian Press through freedom-of-information laws show the self-reported travels of 88 immigrants in P.E.I’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) who signed deals saying they’d run a firm for 12 months.

Comme ailleurs en Europe, le populisme s’est immiscé dans la campagne électorale de cette présidentielle, qui a été marquée par des violences et un fort sentiment anti-immigration.

CBC News – ‘As a father, I can try’: Asylum-Seeking Dad, Daughter Appeal Refugee Claim Denial

A father who walked across the U.S. border into Manitoba with his eight-year-old daughter last year has made an appeal to have his case reheard after an adjudicator rejected his refugee claim in January. Zahid Abbas says if he and his daughter Kashaf go back to Pakistan, they’ll be in danger.

CBC News – Cross-Border People Smuggler Loses Battle to Stay in Canada

A B.C. man caught driving a van full of undocumented Indian nationals into Washington state has lost his battle to remain in Canada. In a decision released last month, a federal court judge upheld a decision to declare Karamdeep Singh Bagri inadmissible to Canada because he was involved in people smuggling.
