Metro News – Refugees in Greece Given Two Weeks to Move to Army-Built Camps

The EU-Turkey deal, which aims to deter illegal migration, has faced several setbacks and sharp criticism in its first week of implementation and has left many would-be migrants in limbo along the coast of Turkey. “There is no legal or adequate way for us to go to Europe so people are either waiting for the boats or turning back to Syria,” says Mohammed, a Syrian who is stranded in the Turkish coastal town of Izmir. “People are shocked and scared.”

CBC – Long Odds for International Students to Land a Job

After graduating, many international students face a reality similar to their Canadian counterparts. Job opportunities aren’t as fruitful as they’d hoped. For students coming to Windsor, Ont., the University of Windsor offers international students an education and promises to prepare them for employment in Canada, should they choose to stay. More than 3,000 international students attend the University of Windsor, with most enrolled in the school’s graduate programs. Close to 20 percent of the school’s student population is coming to the school from outside Canada.

CBC – Cape Breton Group Formed to Help Immigrants Arriving in Nova Scotia

A chemistry researcher at Cape Breton University has founded a non-profit organization to help immigrant families adjust to life in Nova Scotia. “The idea started two years ago, when I moved here from St. John’s,” said Hisham Sleem, who is originally from Egypt. He said there were virtually no services in Cape Breton to help newcomers when he arrived, save for a small Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia office in downtown Sydney that subsequently closed.
