TFO Nouvelles – Immigration : l’Ontario francophone ne veut plus être oublié

La crise des réfugiés syriens, puis celle des Haïtiens fuyant les États-Unis ont poussé plusieurs familles à tenter de s’installer au Canada. Deux cas différents, mais pour lesquels le gouvernement fédéral et la province n’ont pas pensé à promouvoir la francophonie ontarienne. Celle-ci se dit pourtant prête et désireuse d’accueillir ces nouveaux arrivants.

UNHCR – UNHCR Chief Hails Canada and Asks for Even Greater Efforts

UNHCR’s chief Filippo Grandi has praised Canada for being a “champion” of refugees with its far-sighted and generous resettlement efforts, but in view of a record number of forcibly displaced people worldwide he urged Canadians and others to do even more. Meeting government officials in Ottawa on Monday, he said Canada was among the top 10 donors to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau he hoped the country would “continue to be a global leader for refugees”. Grandi proposed that Canada, which has adopted a Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP), consider doing more for refugee women and girls at risk.

Global News – Canada Readies for Potential Refugee Influx as U.S. Ends Protection Status for Nicaragua

The Canadian government says it will be ready to handle any new influx of irregular border-crossers following a policy decision in the United States that could send more people fleeing north. On Monday night, the Trump administration confirmed that it will end temporary protection status (TPS) for citizens of Nicaragua, many of whom have lived in the U.S. for nearly two decades. About 2,500 people are expected to be directly affected.

Toronto Star – With 650 Yazidis Now in Canada, Immigration Officials Say Target of 1,200 in Sight

The House of Commons unanimously passed a motion in 2016 calling the persecution of Yazidis a genocide and committing to provide asylum to Yazidi women and girls. A subsequent commitment to bringing in 1,200 people by the end of 2017 was made last February. A total of 807 people had arrived in Canada by the end of October and another 1,383 files are in process, officials told the House of Commons immigration committee. Of those already here, 81 per cent are Yazidi, a minority sect from Iraq specifically targeted by Islamic militants over the course of the conflict in Iraq.
