Winnipeg Free Press – Speaking the Same Language Again
An immigration program killed by the Conservatives, then brought back to life by the Liberal government, is good for business and the calibre of croissants in Manitoba, says employer Larissa Webster. The program allowed employers to bring in French-speaking temporary foreign workers, such as pastry chef Emmanuel Battaglia from France. […] The trade centre that provides support to Manitoba companies looking to grow their business had helped to arrange 30 to 35 permits a year for the francophone workers in Winnipeg.
Calgary Herald – Are the Kids Alright? Looking at the Economic Success of Second Generation Immigrants
University of Toronto professor Monica Boyd posed the question to an audience on this week: “Are the children of first generation immigrants prospering economically and educationally?” Generally her research found that second generation immigrants are indeed thriving in Canada, but the reasons why were interesting. Her statistical research showed that first generation immigrants fall into a wealth gap that will never be filled. Essentially, a first generation immigrant now will rarely catch up and make the same amount of money they made back home.
CBC – “Race Against Time” to Save Migrants Adrift on the Mediterrannean Sea
Dubbed Operation Sophia, its goal is to break smuggling networks in the Mediterranean by giving EU naval crews the power to seize and destroy smugglers’ boats. […] The EU says it has helped to save more than 9,000 lives, but a recent report from a British parliamentary committee found it has failed to disrupt Mediterranean smuggling “in any meaningful way.” The report also found that since smugglers know their boats are now more likely to be destroyed, they’ve moved away from using wooden boats, which are more expensive, and are opting instead for rubber dinghies, putting more lives at even greater risk.

La mise en oeuvre de l’accord UE-Ankara stagne, même si Athènes affiche sa volonté de s’y tenir, engendrant des tensions sur les îles situées face à la Turquie où s’entassent des migrants qui continuent à arriver, même à flux réduit. À l’approche de la saison touristique, et avec des capacités d’accueil insuffisantes (7500 places officiellement) […].
Health Day – For Refugee Children, Support Breeds Success
With adequate support, refugee children do as well in school as other youngsters, despite having more behavioral and emotional problems, a new research review finds. Canadian researchers analyzed data from 34 studies on learning difficulties among refugee children published between 1996 and 2015. “Despite the thousands of refugees resettled annually, there isn’t a lot of research exploring learning challenges of refugee children, and no research at all on autism spectrum disorder, language impairments or dyslexia,” said study co-author Dr. Ripudaman Minhas, a developmental pediatrician at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto.
CBC – Charlottetown Newcomers Group Promoting Friendship Walks
The PEI Association for Newcomers to Canada is using two feet and a heartbeat to make new immigrants feel welcomed in the community. Every Friday until the weather turns too cold, they are hosting what they call a friendship walk in Charlottetown, explained Nancy Clement, the community outreach coordinator. […] Clement said it’s more about the friendship than the walking, because building a sense of community is a key part of getting newcomers to stay where they land.
