Dr. Brindamour is co-chair of the immigration and refugee health committee at the University of Saskatchewan’s college of medicine. She collaborated with four other pediatric residents in writing this viewpoint. […] Literature around the world has shown that detention of refugee children increases the risk of poor physical health, and serious, long lasting mental disorders. Interestingly, the United Kingdom announced in 2010 its intention to abolish detention of minors in a context of immigration, partly based on the recommendations of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, the Royal College of General Practitioners and the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health.

The Star Phoenix – Family Class Rule Changes are Essential
Rob Norris is minister of Employment and Immigration. A recent Star Phoenix editorial suggested the province give up the family class of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program. Respectfully, you are mistaken. Rather than abandon this family stream of newcomers, we should improve it. And we are. The category is being refocused to align with Saskatchewan’s economic priorities, to be fairer to all families, to identify bad apples who abuse our system, and to make the system more transparent and accountable to taxpayers.

Globe and Mail – Is Canada’s Brand Strong Enough to Attract the Immigrants It Wants?
As countries jockey to lure the most creative and skilled employees – the ones who will drive the knowledge economy and energize its aging society – Canada can’t simply wait for them to appear. It must step up the effort to sell the Canadian brand around the world – to get those with the most talent to see it not just as a land of tolerance for diversity, but as a nucleus of economic opportunity.
Leader-Post – Newcomers Aim for Coalition to Address Sask. Immigration Changes
Changes to the provincial immigration program’s family category are hurting international newcomers to Regina, says the Pakistan Canada Cultural Association (PCCA). […]Saskatchewan has capped the number of family nominations that can be made at any one time and, says PCCA general secretary Syed Mozzam, introduced unrealistic conditions.

Chronicle Herald – Immigration Program on Way to Recovery, Officials Say
Government officials say the provincial immigration program is emerging from its checkered past, but some observers counter that more work needs to be done. The provincial nominee program made headlines for all the wrong reasons after its business mentorship immigration stream was cancelled in 2006. […]The program’s new focus is intended to meet labour market needs that can’t be filled within the province, said Elizabeth Mills, executive director of the provincial Office of Immigration. […] Diana Whalen, the provincial Liberal immigration critic, said she would like to see the province press the federal government on easing restrictions surrounding private refugee sponsorship and increasing the cap on immigrants beyond 500.
