Radio-Canada – Une famille coréenne menacée d’expulsion du Canada est toujours à Moncton deux ans plus tard
Les Maeng passent l’Action de grâce derrière le comptoir de leur petite épicerie. Si cette famille coréenne est encore au Canada, c’est en grande partie à cause de l’appui des gens de Moncton. Jung Joo Maeng raconte que sa famille sera toujours reconnaissante de l’appui obtenu de la communauté. En mai 2011, les Maeng reçoivent un avis de déportation, même si à l’époque, ils habitent le Canada depuis huit ans. Immigration Canada juge que les coûts de santé reliés aux soins de leur fils autiste et épileptique représentent un fardeau pour le trésor public.
Global News – New Saskatchewan Foreign Worker Legislation Introduced
The provincial government introduced new legislation to ensure Saskatchewan continues to be a prime employment destination for foreign nationals. The Foreign Worker Recruitment and Immigration Services Act was proclaimed on Friday. The new legislation helps protect foreign workers from exploitation and mistreatment while coming to work in Saskatchewan. […] Saskatchewan’s Ministry of the Economy has received hundreds of cases relating to the legal rights and responsibilities of foreign workers and employers. It says around 30 per cent of those cases were not covered under existing legislation. Employers will also benefit, as it will give them assurance that the recruiters they use are licensed and acting ethically. It prevents employers, recruiters and immigration consultants from charging foreign workers fees while hiring.
Better Farming – Significant Growth in Canadian Immigration Presents Agri-Food Opportunity
New Canadians present a growing market opportunity for agri-business, provided businesses can adapt to changes in food preferences and can quickly roll out their products, says Farm Credit Canada’s chief economist. […] Jean-Phillippe Gervais, chief agricultural economist with Farm Credit Canada, highlighted the market opportunity presented by new Canadians on Tuesday in a company news release. The release notes that by 2020, “immigration will account for 2.2 million new Canadians and two-thirds of Canada’s population growth.” FCC predicts that the growth could mean an additional $27 billion in Canadian food spending over the next seven years.
CBC – 2nd Sicily Migrant Ship Sinking Leaves at Least 27 Dead
For the second time in a week, a smugglers’ boat overloaded with migrants capsized in the Canal of Sicily on Friday as it made the perilous crossing from Africa to Europe. At least 27 people drowned, but 221 people were rescued in a joint Italian-Maltese operation, officials said. Helicopters ferried the injured to Lampedusa, the Italian island that is closer to Africa than the Italian mainland and the destination of choice for most smugglers’ boats leaving Tunisia or Libya. It was off Lampedusa that a migrant ship from Libya capsized Oct. 3 with some 500 people aboard. Only 155 survived. […] Facing unrest and persecution in Africa and the Middle East, many of the migrants think the Lampedusa escape route to Europe, which is barely 113 kilometres from northern Africa, is worth the risk.
Toronto Star – Share Thanksgiving Puts Refugees at Your Table
“I’m someone who believes in making sure that Canada is one of the most welcoming countries in the world for new immigrants,” explained Parker Mitchell, the founder of Share Thanksgiving. “Rather than talking about immigration policy and all these high-level things, I thought, ‘What if we just could make connections between people on a person-to-person basis?’” he said. “I think that’s how people’s minds are changed.” Mitchell started Share Thanksgiving last year, asking for host families to sign up online. One hundred families across the GTA took up the cause. This year, the goal is to connect 10,000 people across Canada with newcomers from around the world, and Mitchell said they’re about two-thirds of the way there.
Toronto Star – What Should be Done About Climate Change Refugees?
A pending court case in New Zealand involving a man from the low-lying island of Kiribati could have profound implications worldwide on the future of migration due to climate change. […] The 37-year-old is seeking refugee status, but not because he is being persecuted back home, one of the definitions of a refugee. Rather, he says, flooding and rising sea levels due to climate change are making it too dangerous for him, his wife and three children to return to Kiribati. […] Whatever the outcome, the legal battle brings attention to a question that academics, researchers, environmentalists, politicians and diplomats have been puzzling over: what, if anything, should be done to aid the projected 200 million to 1 billion people who may be displaced by climate change over the next 50 years?
