Voies vers la prospérité: Canada

As a low-wage labourer, despite his skills being in demand, Stanio hasn’t been able to qualify for immigration. While supporters of Canada’s migrant farmworker program tout it as a win-win for migrant workers and the country’s agricultural sector, critics say workers like Stanio are the ones who pay the price for the cheap food on our dining tables. The share of migrant workers in Canada’s agricultural workforce has doubled in the last decade as what was once seasonal need for harvesters has turned into a year-round labour market reality.

Les nationalistes hindous au pouvoir en Inde veulent déporter les 40 000 réfugiés rohingya vivant en Inde depuis plusieurs années, au moment où 500 000 d’entre eux viennent d’être chassés de Birmanie, victimes, selon l’ONU, d’un nettoyage ethnique.

On Tuesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said a man named Abdullahi Hassan Sharif was ordered deported from the United States in 2011. Sources said they believe that man and the suspect arrested after the Sept. 30 attack in Edmonton — Abdulahi Hasan Sharif, 30 — are the same person. Canadian officials said Sharif, who is from Somalia, made an asylum claim at a Canada-U.S. border crossing in 2012, and was granted it later that year. Kenney served as immigration minister from 2008 to 2013.

After nearly two years of paperwork, correspondence, anxiety and cautious optimism, a gay Syrian refugee finally got his application approved by the Canadian government in August. The only thing left to do was wait for the government to arrange and confirm his flight. But Ahmad, who also had a heart condition, died suddenly on Sunday. And now his friends are wondering why the government didn’t push to bring him here sooner.

Although the Liberal government has no immediate plans to establish a special resettlement program for the Rohingya, Mr. Hussen said Canada would not even be able to do so if it did. The Bangladeshi government refuses to issue exit visas, which are required for refugee resettlement, to the more than 500,000 Rohingya who have fled what the Canadian government and the United Nations call “ethnic cleansing” in Myanmar. As the minister noted, the exit-permit problem is not new for Rohingya in Bangladesh.
