Les demandeurs d’asile entrés de manière irrégulière au cours des derniers mois devront s’armer de patience. La Commission de l’immigration et du statut de réfugiés (CISR) n’est parvenue à traiter que 5 % des quelque 11 000 dossiers qu’elle a reçus de partout au Canada depuis la mi-mars, et ce, malgré que la priorité ait été accordée à ces demandeurs.
An employment equity regimen that relies on public disclosure rather than a mandatory quota system seems to have improved representation from women, visible minorities and Indigenous people in the public service, according to a new study.

Equating time served in the community with time spent in jail opens up the door to absurd possibilities within immigration law, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday. In an unanimous decision, the court said conditional sentences do not count as jail time when it comes to deciding whether permanent residents convicted of a crime should lose their status in Canada.

Of the 10,790 asylum claims received from March to September of this year, the refugee board has processed 592, or 5.4 per cent. Of those claims 69 per cent, or 408 cases, were granted asylum, while 141 were rejected. Forty-three other claims were either abandoned or withdrawn. The acceptance rate for the border-crossers is even higher than the 63-per-cent overall rate for asylum-seekers in 2016. The data were released this week by the Immigration and Refugee Board.
