Legal Aid Ontario is faced with an unprecedented funding crisis that has sparked fear among lawyers and advocates that coverage and representation of refugees at asylum hearings could be compromised. In August, LAO introduced a new vetting system of coverage on asylum claims based on country of origin as a measure to keep spending on refugee and immigration cases in check.
The U.S. has agreed to resettle an unspecified number of refugees languishing in Pacific island camps in a deal that is expected to inspire more asylum seekers to attempt to reach Australia by boat, officials said on Sunday. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull would not say whether he had discussed the deal with President-elect Donald Trump during their telephone conversation on Thursday. The Obama administration had agreed to resettle refugees among almost 1,300 asylum seekers held at Australia’s expense on the island nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea.

Criticism is being directed at the organization that regulates immigration consultants in Canada, echoing complaints about the previous body it replaced. It’s been just over five years since Ottawa created the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) following complaints of inefficiency and mismanagement by the preceding body. But now, complaints from within the membership are surfacing about the way the new non-profit regulator watches over those who take money from new immigrants and refugees coming to Canada.

The co-founder of a bike share program operating in the Crescent Valley neighbourhood of Saint John is being recognized for his role in helping Syrian newcomers settle into life in Canada. The Saint John Bike Share program started in 2014, with a mission to fix and give away donated bicycles. […] Consolvo will be recognized for his work on Nov.18 at the first Cultural Diversity Awards, hosted by the Saint John group Pride of Race, Unity & Dignity through Education Incorporated, or PRUDE Inc. Executive director Jocelyn Stevens said Consolvo probably didn’t realize the role he was playing in the integration of newcomer families.

About a dozen Syrian refugee families have been welcomed to Thunder Bay, Ont. over the past few months, and are now settling into their new home. While the first privately sponsored refugees came to the city last winter, the more recent arrivals are government assisted refugees. […] The greatest challenge of resettlement so far has been finding homes for all of the families with children, said McKenzie Lander. In some cases, landlords have been reluctant to rent to large families.

The federal government is preparing for a potential surge in Mexican migrants coming to Canada after Donald Trump’s election victory, CBC News has learned. Sources confirm high level meetings took place this week with officials at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and in other departments. The news comes as Canada prepares to loosen rules for Mexicans to enter the country by lifting a visa requirement on Dec. 1. That restriction has been in place since 2009. Talks on a plan to cope with a possible spike in asylum-seekers have been ongoing for some time, but were accelerated this week after Trump’s surprise win.
