Globe and Mail – Quebec Relocates Migrants’ Aid Distribution Due to Security Concerns

The province had initially planned to use the cavernous Palais des congrès in Montreal to hand out social-assistance cheques to more than 4,000 people, part of the wave of asylum seekers who have come across the Canada-U.S. border in recent months. The government announced on Tuesday it would carry it out elsewhere, attributing the decision to the fact that fewer people than anticipated needed to pick up their cheques by hand. The shift occurred less than 24 hours before the start of the planned three-day operation.

Global News – Immigration Canada ‘Breaking the Law,’ When Denying Some Disabled Applicants, Say Legal Experts

Families looking to become Canadian permanent residents are being unfairly rejected by immigration officials, say legal experts, and in some cases the federal government may be breaking the law. The issue involves the government’s failure to provide specific cost estimates in “procedural fairness letters” given to people who could be denied due to so-called “medical inadmissibility.” According to immigration lawyers – as well as the Canadian Bar Association – the law requires that all procedural fairness letters clearly outline the government’s concerns with respect to an applicant’s medical condition or disability.

Globe and Mail – Quebec Works to Find Schools for Children of Migrants

Quebec is gearing up to welcome the children of recent asylum seekers into its classrooms as the province deploys a raft of public services for migrants who have poured across the border in recent months. As children cannot attend school until their families have fixed addresses, Quebec plans to provide educational activities for children in temporary shelters, including the tent camps near the Canada-U.S. border that are housing the asylum applicants while they’re in transition.

La Presse – Crise migratoire : Macron veut « identifier » les réfugiés dès le Niger et le Tchad
