Global News – Ottawa says only a handful of visas have been approved for Gaza refugees with relatives in Canada
A little more than two months after Ottawa opened a pathway for Canadian citizens and permanent residents to obtain visas for extended family members in Gaza, very few applications have been approved because only a handful of people have been able to leave Gaza in order to complete the secondary screening step in Egypt.
As of Monday, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says only 14 people have been able to complete the temporary resident visa application. All were subsequently granted approval to Canada.
Radio-Canada – La motion compliquera la sortie des demandeurs d’asile de Gaza, dit le ministre Miller
Le ministre fédéral de l’Immigration, Marc Miller, a déclaré que la motion amendée sur la guerre entre Israël et le Hamas, adoptée lundi par la Chambre des communes, pourrait rendre plus difficile la sortie de Gaza pour les personnes demandant l’asile au Canada. Mercredi, il a déclaré aux journalistes que cela pourrait aggraver la situation d’un programme canadien visant à offrir l’asile aux membres de la famille élargie des Canadiens qui se trouvent dans la bande de Gaza. Un programme qui a déjà été, selon lui, un échec.

CityNews – Why has Canada’s program brought zero Gazans to safety?
When announced in December, it seemed like a new immigration program would allow Canadians with extended family in Gaza to finally bring them to safety. More than three months later, not a single person has arrived in the country.
Yara El Murr wrote about the Gaza immigration program for The Guardian. “Already many many lives were lost of relatives of Canadian’s who are waiting to bring their families here, so I cannot emphasize enough how urgent this issue is,” says El Murr.
Government of Canada – Minister Miller marks the International Day of La Francophonie
The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, issued the following statement:
“Today, we are proud to celebrate the International Day of La Francophonie. This day is an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate the linguistic duality that is at the heart of our national identity, and to reflect on the importance of the French language that links us to so many communities around the world. It’s also an opportunity to highlight the importance of French-speaking newcomers who choose to settle in Canada, and who are essential to the economic, cultural and linguistic development of their new communities.
The Walrus – “You Close Roxham Road, People Are Just Going to Cross Somewhere Else”
Before Roxham Road became the last hope for asylum seekers looking to start a new life, before it became a political lightning rod for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, before it was both a logistical problem and bargaining chip for Quebec premier François Legault, it was nothing more than a dirt road between Hemmingford, Quebec, and Plattsburgh, New York—a small blip on the 8,891 kilometres of shared border between Canada and the US. Before 2017, most people hadn’t heard of Roxham Road.
