New York Times – It’s What They Asked For
Alabama’s new anti-immigrant law, the nation’s harshest, went into effect last month (a few provisions have been temporarily blocked in federal court), and it is already reaping a bitter harvest of dislocation and fear. Hispanic homes are emptying, businesses are closing, employers are wondering where their workers have gone. Parents who have not yet figured out where to go are lying low and keeping children home from school.
Rabble – Recent Immigrants And The Employment Crisis
It is no secret that times of high unemployment and precarious work are especially tough for new and recent entrants to the job market, notably young workers and recent immigrants. The latter were especially hard hit in the recession and slow recovery of the 1990s, when new immigrants had great difficulty finding decent jobs and it took longer and longer for immigrant earnings to catch up with those of Canadian-born workers. Then there are many more suitable applicants for jobs than there are job vacancies, the tendency of employers to undervalue international credentials and international work experience is even more pronounced.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada – Members Of The Order Of Military Merit Can Preside At Citizenship Ceremonies
Members of the Order of Military Merit are now eligible to preside at citizenship ceremonies, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today. “I am very pleased to empower the extraordinary recipients of this honour to preside at citizenship ceremonies, and I’m particularly happy to make this announcement during Canada’s Citizenship Week,” said Minister Kenney. “This is a fitting reminder that we must take our responsibilities as citizens very seriously, and that we honour the Canadians who have served and are serving in the Canadian Armed Forces.”
Globe and Mail – An Eight-Point Plan To Get Jobs For Immigrants
In July, we wrote about a new project spearheaded by the Maytree Foundation under its Assisting Local Leaders with Immigrant Employment Strategies (ALLIES), which was working to come up with strategies to connect small businesses with immigrant talent. ALLIES, a partnership of Maytree and The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation, began the new initiative last October, conducting consultations with small businesses and planning to use the findings to help formulate pilot projects. A report released Tuesday is the result of the first stages of the research project “exploring existing policies, programs and initiatives that engage or otherwise influence the human resource practices of SMEs,” the executive summary reads.
Canada.com – Unfamiliar Rules, Red Tape Create Extra Problems For Immigrant Entrepreneurs
Giving new immigrants an opportunity is Arnon Melo’s way of paying forward the break one of his first bosses in logistics gave him after he came to Canada. Melo is founder and managing director of Mellohawk Logistics, an international freight forwarder based in Toronto, which was recognized this year for its leadership role in community-building by Scotiabank and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business’s Small Business Big Impact Challenge awards program.
Toronto Star – Newcomers Less Likely To Support Immigration Than Mainstream Canadians
Recent immigrants and visible minorities are less likely to support immigration than mainstream Canadians, says a new study. The study, by the Institute for Research on Public Policy released Tuesday, also found women, retirees, people with high school education or less, those struggling to secure jobs and Conservative party supporters are less open to immigration.
