Ils ont fui une guerre horrible, mais la violence meurtrière les a rattrapés. L’attentat de la Grande Mosquée de Québec a troublé certains réfugiés syriens de Québec au point qu’ils envisagent de quitter la ville, ont-ils confié à La Presse. « S’il n’y a pas de sécurité ici, [on va] partir dans une autre province ou même rentrer – pas en Syrie, mais dans la région » […].
A day before European Union leaders meet to discuss closing off the illegal migrant route from Libya, Italy laid some of the groundwork Thursday by reaching a deal with the Libyan prime minister to try to stop migrants from setting out to cross the central Mediterranean. Premier Paolo Gentiloni told reporters Thursday night after meeting Libyan Premier Fayez Serraj in Rome that the two sides signed a memo of understanding to step up co-operation and to fight migrant trafficking from Libyan shores.
Twenty-five years from now the face of Alberta will include many more immigrants and almost all of them will be calling Edmonton and Calgary home, according to long-term projections from Statistics Canada. The report from the agency describing immigration and diversity projections to 2036 lays out a few different scenarios for Canada, including a high immigration and low immigration forecast. All scenarios see immigrant numbers rising steadily. About 85 per cent of Alberta’s immigrants lived in Calgary and Edmonton in 2011 — the baseline year used by Stats Can — and that number will rise a percentage point or two at most.
New Canadians will soon promise to honour treaties with Indigenous peoples as part of their oath of citizenship. The mandate letter for new Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen lists making the change to the swearing-in ceremony as one of his key priorities, along with enhancing refugee resettlement services and cutting wait times for application processing.

The term “sanctuary city” means different things in different countries, Harald Bauder, director of the graduate program in immigrant and settlement studies at Ryerson University, told Yahoo Canada News. In the U.S. there’s a strong legal component to sanctuary status, while in the U.K there’s largely no legal component. “In Canada it’s a bit of a hybrid,” Bauder said. Some cities, like Toronto, have made “a very clear commitment” to making undocumented people part of the community, he said. This means open access to city services like libraries and recreation programs with just proof of residence, such as a pay stub or utility bill.
U.S. ties with staunch ally Australia became strained on Thursday after details about an acrimonious phone call between its leaders emerged and U.S. President Donald Trump said a deal between the two nations on refugee resettlement was “dumb.” […] During former President Barack Obama’s administration, the United States agreed to resettle up to 1,250 asylum seekers held in offshore processing camps on Pacific islands in Papua New Guinea and Nauru. In return, Australia would resettle refugees from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
