Vice News – Meet the Vancouver Man Undocumented Migrants Call Instead of 911
For Vancouver health outreach worker Byron Cruz, the calls started coming steadily in 2012. […] The battleground for accessing healthcare with uncertain immigration status in the Lower Mainland has already shifted significantly over the last several months.

Metro News Canada – Post-Traumatic Stress a Serious Issue for Incoming Syrian Refugee Children: Toronto Doctor
As violence intensifies in Syria, one Toronto doctor says the city needs to prepare for incoming refugees – particularly children – suffering from post-traumatic stress. “What the Syrian people are experiencing is horrifying and it will seriously affect them mentally for a long time,” said Dr. Anas Al Kassem.

Immigrants to Montreal, including refugees, were more likely to be unemployed than those in any other city in Canada, and by a wide margin. After two years, 42 per cent were unemployed in Montreal, compared with 30 per cent in Ottawa or Vancouver and 26 per cent in Toronto or Calgary.

Près de la moitié des nouveaux arrivants qui parlent l’anglais mais pas le français quittent le Québec, une donnée qui illustre les limites de la francisation des immigrants. D’autres choisissent de s’intégrer à la communauté minoritaire de langue anglaise. Pour contrer le phénomène, le gouvernement Couillard veut améliorer la sélection des immigrants […].
