Looking directly into news cameras on Wednesday, mayor-elect Olivia Chow put the blame for unhoused refugees sleeping on the street on the shoulders of the federal government. Ottawa “is not paying a cent right now for refugee housing,” Chow told reporters in Scarborough after the first of her three “transition” meetings about housing, mental health and homelessness with a range of experts.
The RCMP worked with London police and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to launch a probe this year and determined suspects were advertising abroad for labourers to work in Canada, police said. Recruited workers were placed in businesses across Southwestern Ontario by the suspects, who withheld their travel documents, paid them substandard wages and housed them in poor conditions, police allege. Investigators searched several London region locations June 8 and rescued 31 workers, all Mexican nationals aged 20 to 42, police said.

Atlantic Canada has so far welcomed 504 asylum seekers who entered Canada using the former Roxham Road irregular border crossing in Quebec. New Brunswick says 242 of these claimants were staying in the province. Nova Scotia welcomed 164 of these people, while 94 others are in Newfoundland and Labrador, and four in Prince Edward Island. Newfoundland lawyer Michele Grant, who specializes in immigration, pointed out in an interview last Friday that it’s a huge challenge for these people to settle legally, especially as there are no permanent federal immigration employees in the province.
Outside Toronto’s downtown shelter referral centre, a bitter governmental tug-of-war over who should foot the bill to shelter asylum seekers has left throngs of newcomers sleeping on the sidewalk. Some drag their suitcases back and forth idly, while others dial number after number, appealing for aid. It’s a crowd that has grown in the month since the long-standing dispute between the federal and city governments bubbled over — with the city announcing that any asylum seekers looking for emergency beds in Toronto’s non-refugee-specific shelters would be redirected to the federal government.
Le recrutement international d’infirmières par les pays « riches » comme le Canada et les États-Unis soulève des questions éthiques. Ces dernières années, le recrutement international prend parfois des allures d’une « solution rapide » pour combler les pénuries d’infirmières. Le sujet a d’ailleurs fait l’objet d’un débat cette semaine à l’occasion du congrès international des infirmières qui se tient à Montréal. Le ministre Duclos a précisé que les pays du G7 aspirent à réduire leur dépendance au recrutement international.

Canada’s automatic HIV-partner-disclosure policy mandates an immigration applicant or refugee prove they have disclosed their medical condition to the person who is sponsoring them to Canada. One couple says they found the formal process not only offensive but frustrating, as it delayed the processing of their file for an additional 18 months. Finally, they were scheduled for the long-awaited brief interview in April to confirm, in person, that the sponsored partner’s HIV status had been disclosed.
