En 2012, les candidats issus de l’immigration n’étaient que huit à siéger dans l’Hémicycle, tous au Parti socialiste (PS). Ils sont aujourd’hui 35 (hors outre-mer). Parmi eux, une vingtaine de députés La République en marche (LRM) ont fait leur entrée au Palais-Bourbon.
Gloria Enns and about 25 other volunteers and human rights activists gathered on World Refugee Day to compose letters to Ahmed Hussen, the Canadian minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, and their respective MPs in an effort to convince them to rescind the Safe Third Country Agreement — a federal policy enacted in 2004 that requires claimants to request refugee status in the first safe country they arrive in.
The makers of Canada’s latest Heritage Minute say featuring the country’s acceptance of Vietnamese “boat people” in the short film was the ideal way to keep current events in perspective and usher in a landmark national birthday. The short clip, now among others highlighting key moments in Canadian History, was released by Historica Canada on Tuesday and shines a light on Canada’s admission of more than 100,000 refugees fleeing war-torn Vietnam in the 1970s.
On World Refugee Day, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) representative Jean-Nicolas Beuze said Canada has done its fair share of resettling refugees, especially with more recent efforts to welcome Syrian refugees.

Friends of the Guatemalan family in Edmonton called a press conference Tuesday in a desperate attempt to reverse the order, condemning the decision as unfair. Jilmar Picon Pineda thought he had applied to stay in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, after being denied refugee status in 2011. But he said the woman who claimed to be helping his family with their application didn’t file the papers. Instead, she took thousands of dollars over the course of two years before disappearing in December 2016.
