Radio-Canada – Nouvelle-Écosse : des étudiants internationaux victimes de racisme
Un étudiant international de l’Université Dalhousie, à Halifax, affirme qu’il en a assez des commentaires racistes qu’il entend à gauche et à droite dans la communauté.

National Post – The Grim Task of Identifying the Refugees and Migrants who Don’t Reach Europe
“In some of these countries, it’s hard enough to find resources to devote to the living migrants, let alone the dead,” said Frank Laczko, head of the Global Migration Data Analysis Center at the International Organization for Migration (IOM). IOM is trying to strengthen programs to identify the dead and track down their families. But for now it’s mostly an ad hoc process.

Tima Kurdi’s application to bring her brother Mohammed Kurdi and his family to Canada was rejected because it didn’t have the necessary paperwork. Kurdi said an official with Citizenship and Immigration Canada contacted her last week and asked that she reapply for Mohammed.
