The Globe and Mail – Canada Urged to Keep Borders Open Amid Trump Directives

Refugee advocates are urging Canada to keep its borders open to the world’s most vulnerable people as U.S. President Donald Trump orders the construction of a wall with Mexico and cracks down on illegal immigration. […] Without mentioning Mr. Trump or his policies, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen’s office said Wednesday that Canada has “always been welcoming of newcomers and will continue to do so.”

The New York Times – Canada Beckons International Students with a Path to Citizenship

The Globe and Mail – EU Looks to Fund Migrant Camps in Africa to Cut Immigration

EU interior ministers on Thursday pushed ahead with plans to finance camps in Africa, where the U.N. refugee agency and aid groups would process migrants to prevent them from trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe. […] The European Union has deployed a naval mission in the Mediterranean and is training the Libyan coastguard to cut the numbers attempting the journey. Now it also wants to return migrants plucked from the sea to where they came from.

Radio-Canada – Les services aux immigrants francophones sont peu adaptés à leurs besoins dans l’Ouest

Des chercheurs financés par Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada se sont demandé si les services offerts aux immigrants francophones sont bien adaptés à leurs besoins dans l’Ouest, 10 ans après leur implantation. Jusqu’à ce jour, aucune étude n’avait été menée pour analyser et comprendre l’évolution des besoins de ces nouveaux arrivants pour lesquels ces services ont été mis en place.
