Toronto Star – Police Operation in Paris Migrant Camp Creates Tension

French authorities finished clearing out the makeshift shelters in the squalid Calais migrant camp known as the “jungle” on Monday, after moving more than 6,000 people to temporary housing in a long-awaited effort to tackle France’s migrant crisis. […] The Calais camp, which housed as many as 10,000 people from the Mideast and Africa seeking to cross the English Channel to Britain, grew to become Europe’s biggest slum, lacking basic human amenities and any government control. The French government began clearing it out last week and relocating its migrants across the country.

Vancouver Sun – MOSAIC Conference to Help Immigrants Kickstart Careers

Finding a suitable job is “a big problem,”MOSAIC spokesman Abraham Asrat said last week. “A lot of our clients are ending up in entry-level (job) positions because their credentials are not recognized and their professional experience isn’t valued. So they have to restart their careers, either from scratch (in their chosen field) or in completely different areas from what they’re trained to do.” MOSAIC cited a Statistics Canada study that found only 22 per cent of foreign-educated immigrants in B.C. were working in the regulated profession for which they had trained, compared to 62 per cent of those born in Canada.
