The removal of visa requirements for Romanian nationals has prompted a spike in asylum claims and a sit-down between the Canadian government and Romanian authorities in Ottawa.

By comparison, just 120 Romanians claimed asylum in Canada in all of 2016.

According to Hussen, the number of spousal immigration applications in the queue has dropped to 15,000 from 74,900 a year ago, and the average processing time has also been sharply reduced to 12 months from 26 months. The minister attributed the success to a focused working group, dubbed the “Family Class Tiger Team,” that was created in spring 2016 to develop innovative mechanisms and redesign application kits and workflow to reduce processing times.
The Regina George Lee Backpack Project started two years ago in response to Syrian refugees coming to the city, says Jeff Perry, the president of the Regina Public Schools Teachers’ Association.
The project stemmed from a desire to make the students feel welcome and to ease their transition to Regina life. The project saw students from Campbell Collegiate prepare backpacks full of supplies for Syrian students to help them get started with school right away, Perry said.

A law that bars refugee claimants from receiving federal child benefits violates Canada’s constitution, says the lawyer representing a family with a Canadian-born child. “The irony is we are allowing other temporary residents in Canada to claim this benefit as long as they have lived here for 18 months even if they may not need the money,” said Avvy Go, director of the Chinese and Southeast Asian Legal Clinic in Toronto. Go is currently representing six clients who are challenging the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) over the differential treatment.
