Ils se sont sentis interpellés personnellement par les images fortes de l’incendie qui dévorait tout sur son passage. « Je peux imaginer la peur qu’ils ont vécue, affirme l’un des donateurs, Anas Khaddam.

An Ontario program that gave international students a quick pathway to residence in Canada has stopped accepting applications as it tries to address a backlog of thousands of people – yet more evidence that Express Entry has made immigration to Canada more difficult for some groups.

Temporary foreign workers have kept many businesses going in Canada, but abuses of both the workers and the programs, over the years, have put the spotlight on government regulations. The federal government is launching a review this week in an effort to make improvements for the workers, many of whom live in fear and suffer exploitation while here.

[…] Hundreds of those workers have been sent home from Canada in similar circumstances, a practice known as “medical repatriation.”
