Montreal Gazette – Fast Track for Skilled Workers
The federal government plans to create a global job bank to bring in more skilled foreign workers, while using a new technique to end the “bizarre” situation in which low-skilled temporary foreign workers are hired in Canadian communities with double-digit unemployment, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Friday. The job bank idea, modelled after New Zealand’s immigration system, is a major departure that will take legislation and at least two years to implement, according to Kenney.

Toronto Star – Bill to Fight Human Smuggling Only Punishes Its Victims
Parliament is currently debating legislation that would require one-year, mandatory detention for certain migrants arriving in Canada, including 16- and 17-year-old children. […] The detention provisions in Bill C-31, the Protecting Canada’s Immigration System Act, would allow the citizenship and immigration minister to “designate” groups of people arriving in Canada who would automatically be sent into detention for a year if the minister either has “reasonable grounds to suspect” they were smuggled or thinks examination of the group’s members cannot be conducted in “a timely manner.”
Citizenship and Immigration Canada – Government of Canada Transforms Economic Immigration Program
CIC is transforming its suite of economic immigration programs to create a just-in-time system that recruits people with the right skills to meet Canada’s labour market needs, fast tracks their immigration, and gets them working in a period of months, not years. Eliminating the longstanding backlog of FSW applications will allow the Department to focus resources on facilitating the arrival of skilled immigrants who apply under the current eligibility criteria.
The Guardian – UK Border Agency to Trial X-Rays to Determine Age of Asylum Seekers
The UK Border Agency is to trial dental x-rays of child asylum seekers in the face of fierce opposition from the medical profession, immigration lawyers and the UK’s children’s commissioners. […] Any UK-wide introduction of such tests would be likely to involve hundreds of children and young adults each year. The children’s commissioners said in a joint statement that they were appalled at what they believed was “a clear breach of the rights of vulnerable children and young people and may, in fact, be illegal”.
The federal government came under fire Wednesday for appointing more unilingual anglophones – this time at the Montreal and Ottawa offices of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. […]In one instance in Montreal, anglophone commissioner Stephen Gallagher accepted as evidence a police report written in French despite admitting he would have to make tremendous efforts to understand it.

Globe and Mail – French Election Plunges Into “Obsession with Immigrants”
Ms. Ghali, a member of the opposition Socialist Party, represents northern Marseilles, a poor district with one of Europe’s largest concentrations of Arabs. France’s estimated five million Muslims are among the most integrated Islamic communities in Europe in terms of culture, language and French values, but they are also among the poorest and most marginalized. […] She is alarmed by Mr. Sarkozy’s apparent attacks on the ethnic background and immigration status of her constituents. Most Algerians in France and their offspring are French citizens, as Algeria was part of France before 1962.
