La Chambre de commerce du Montréal métropolitain a présenté cette semaine un mémoire contenant ses recommandations à la Commission des relations avec les citoyens à l’occasion des consultations sur la planification de l’immigration pour la période 2017-2019. L’intégration professionnelle des immigrants constitue un enjeu majeur.
The first day back to class for students at Queen Elizabeth High School isn’t until Sept. 1 but on Wednesday, some students who are both new to the school and to Canada got a helping hand as they prepare for the school year. Students’ peers spent the day at the school helping new students who have recently come to Edmonton from around the world to learn their way around the building and get an idea of what to expect once classes begin.
Can the government legally require some immigrants to settle in small towns and rural areas? We do not have the answer for the simple reason that our courts have not been asked to deal with this question and how it is affected by the relevant Charter subsection. If it is determined that such a limitation is indeed a violation of mobility rights, then it would have to pass what is known as the Oakes test. The federal government would have to show there is a pressing and substantial objective in settling some immigrants in small towns and rural areas.

Welcoming refugees into our communities implies a responsibility to provide a safe environment for rehabilitation and integration. Yet next week thousands of our neighbours will be exposed to trauma in a spectacle most of us would do away with in the first place. […] In Toronto, people affected by war are not an insignificant minority. This includes newcomers who aren’t refugees, Canadians, and family members struggling with inter-generational trauma.
I work in LaSalle, which is one of the most culturally diverse areas of Montreal. Here, there are large Sikh, Muslim and Christian newcomer communities whose needs are not being met because of the way policy is formed. These communities have no official way to influence policy because consultations on policy in Quebec do not allow religious voices to be heard. As much as this commitment to secularism is laudable, it results in a democratic deficit for incoming people of faith.
Almost a year after Timmins decided to step up and offer some relief in the international Syrian refugee crisis, this city has still not seen the arrival of a refugee family. Despite that, local organizers said Thursday that Timmins is ready, set and fully prepared to accept refugee families from Syria. It seems the whole process has become bogged down at the higher levels of government.
