L’Association pour les nouveaux arrivants (ANC) à l’Île continue d’accueillir les réfugiés syriens au fur et à mesure qu’ils arrivent. En date du jeudi 21 janvier, 10 familles parrainées par le gouvernement avaient emménagé dans des logements permanents ou des appartements, et une famille était en attente. […]
The Canadian government has fired off a pre-emptive strike before American lawmakers hold a hearing in which the northern neighbour’s Syria refugee policy will be on the hot seat. It sent a note to members of a powerful U.S. Senate committee that has scheduled a meeting next week titled, “Canada’s Fast-Track Refugee Plan: Unanswered Questions and Implications for U.S. National Security.” The U.S. Senate homeland-security hearing is, for the Trudeau government, an unwanted flip-side to the praise it received from progressives and foreign media outlets last month when the prime minister personally greeted refugees at the airport.
Canadian visa officials handling Syrian refugee cases referred by the UN were told to track the religion and ethnicity of applicants and to expedite the cases that met one of the former Conservative government’s “areas of focus,” according to new documents tabled in Parliament. The documents confirm what The Globe and Mail first reported in October, that the Conservative government had created a triage system for UN-referred Syrian refugees that determined which groups got to the front of the line. The areas of focus, as the system was known, included those who belonged to a religious or ethnic minority, which the Conservatives had said would be the priority for Canada’s resettlement efforts.
The president of the province’s largest trade union says the government, workers and unions themselves have to do more to fight racism and discrimination against immigrants in the workplace. Daniel Boyer, president of the 600,000-member Quebec Federation of Labour (FTQ), told a legislature committee studying immigration reforms that Canada and Quebec are good at selling themselves internationally as an open society looking for immigrant workers but when those workers arrive it’s another story. It amounts to a form of “false representation,” which needs to be corrected, he said.
The mayor of Medicine Hat is blasting the federal government over what he says is a lack of funding as municipalities work to meet the Liberals’ pledge to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of February. Less than four weeks into 2016, medium-sized cities in Alberta, including Medicine Hat and Lethbridge, have already welcomed more refugees than each centre typically would in a single year. […] Up to 3,000 Syrians are expected to arrive in Alberta by the end of next month. When government-assisted refugees arrive in the province, they’re directed to one of five cities: Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat or Red Deer.
Les nouveaux arrivants qui s’installent à Sherbrooke seraient rapidement inscrits à des cours de français. Il semble que le délai entre leur arrivée et l’inscription à ces cours serait d’environ trois mois. Selon les données provinciales colligées par le ministère de l’Immigration du Québec, on note une baisse importante du nombre d’immigrants […].
