CBC News – The Fear Door: Life as a Refugee an Immersive Experience in New Exhibit
For refugees who have been forced to flee their homes, a simple knock on the door can be frightening. It may trigger memories of arrests, roundups, kidnappings and killings back in their home countries. The Fear Door is the first display that visitors encounter in the Refuge Canada travelling exhibit now showing at Moncton’s Resurgo Place. It’s a green, wooden door with violent gouge marks.
La Presse – Le serment de citoyenneté en ligne ne fait pas l’unanimité
Permettre aux nouveaux Canadiens de prêter le serment de citoyenneté en cliquant une case sur l’internet est loin de faire l’unanimité au sein de la population du pays. Pour certains, c’est une affreuse idée qui dénature tout le processus, mais pour d’autres, il s’agit d’une mesure d’avant-garde qui facilitera la vie des nouveaux venus. Le gouvernement fédéral a reçu plusieurs centaines de commentaires au cours des derniers mois après avoir demandé l’opinion de la population.
Toronto Star – ‘The Dream Is Shattered,’ Says Student Facing Deportation as Supporters Join Rally Over Fake Admission Letter
Lovepreet Singh felt something wasn’t right when his education agent told him from India not to show up on his first day of school at Lambton College in Canada, citing an issue with his registration. Now, five years later, after he finished a two-year diploma program at a different college in Montreal and built a life here, Singh is scheduled to be deported on June 13. Since last weekend, he and about a dozen other Indian international students have been camping in front of the border agency’s office on Airport Road in Mississauga.

“Project Quantum,” as it’s been dubbed, is a largely unknown AI-assisted pilot project that’s been undertaken by the Canada Border Services Agency. It essentially screens air travellers before they take off for Canada. But just who the government is stopping at international airports — and the criteria used to select them — isn’t clear. That has led critics to question how we know the AI-assisted program is targeting the right people, and that discrimination isn’t somehow baked into its process.
Toronto Star – Yoga Giant Lululemon Wins Exemption to Immigration Rules that Limit Hiring Foreign Workers
The federal government has agreed to exempt Vancouver-based yoga apparel giant Lululemon from immigration rules that limit access to foreign workers, allowing the company to rapidly expand its headquarters in the city. The athletic apparel company best known for its yoga pants can now hire foreign workers for “high-skilled occupations” — which includes senior managers, construction managers and manufacturing engineers — without applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) approval.
CBC News – Barriers Persist for Asylum Seekers Living In — And Trying to Leave — Windsor Hotels
While the number of refugee claimants living in local hotels is going down, many face new challenges as they start their lives in Canada. “Housing is certainly a challenge … the housing stock availability is very, very low,” Mike Morency, the executive director of Matthew House, said. “If you add on top of that people who don’t have money for first and last (months’ rent), people who have very little language skill, it really is a struggle for them to find housing.”
