CBC – John McCallum says Mexican Visa could be “Reimposed” if Refugee Claims Spike
Canada is prepared to reinstate a visa requirement for Mexican travellers if the number of refugee claims jumps too high, says Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister John McCallum. The visa lift is set to kick in Dec. 1. McCallum said the federal government was aware of a possible spike in asylum-seekers long before Donald Trump was elected president in the U.S. […] Under the previous Conservative government of Stephen Harper, Canada imposed the visa requirement due to a huge rise in refugee claims that were subsequently rejected for being invalid.
CBC – Calgary’s Eritrean Community Wants Feds to Open More Refugee Sponsorships
Many in Calgary’s Eritrean community are desperate to bring relatives here as refugees, but say the number of people eligible to be sponsored each year is only a fraction of the number they hope to bring.

Settlement workers on the front lines describe a drastic reduction in funding and personnel for refugee mental health, and say that much more support is needed to deal with the 30,000 Syrian refugees who have entered Canada since last year. Federal funding of mental health care for refugees was drastically reduced under the previous Harper government, and hasn’t been restored in a meaningful way, they say.”In 2014, there was a huge de-funding of mental health. We only survived through provincial funding,” says Provincial Refugee Mental Health Coordinator Mariana Vieyra Martinez, who works at Vancouver Association for Survivors of Torture (VAST).
The Globe and Mail – Ottawa to Ease Path to Permanent Residency for Skilled Workers, Students
The federal government is changing its electronic immigration-selection system to improve the chances of international students and some high-skilled foreign workers to become permanent residents. The changes to the Express Entry system, which scores and ranks applicants based on factors such as age, language ability, education and work experience and then matches them with Canadian employers, will take effect on Nov. 19. The changes announced in a news release on Monday will make it easier for some highly skilled workers already in the country and international students who completed their postsecondary education in Canada to get an invitation to apply for permanent residence.
