A lesbian woman facing imminent deportation from Canada will not be on a plane out of the country tonight, thanks to a last-minute decision to issue her a stay of removal. The move allows Angela, whose last name and country of origin have not been released due to safety concerns, to stay in Canada for now, as she and her lawyer appeal the pre-removal risk assessment that would have seen her deported. It’s not clear whether the decision was granted by a federal judge or through direct intervention by Ahmed Hussen, Canada’s new Liberal minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship.

Record numbers of immigrants are changing the way we look and paving the way for a rosier future in Atlantic Canada. However, as an Atlantic Provinces Economic Council Report report recently showed, we need to find better ways of keeping those new faces here. The report, which is based on information from Statistics Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, says 8,300 immigrants arrived two years ago. More arrived the following year, 11,600 came during the first nine months of 2016, largely due to the wave of Syrian refugees.
