CBC News – Record-Breaking Number of Immigration Cases Went Through Federal Court in 2022

Canada’s Federal Court saw more new immigration proceedings in 2022 than any of the past 30 years, which some lawyers say is a sign of an overburdened system. Recent statistics posted to the court’s website show more than 70 per cent of its cases were tied to immigration and refugees as of late 2022. In total, the court saw 13,487 new immigration proceedings in 2022, up from 9,761 in 2021 and 6,424 in 2020, according to the office of Chief Justice Paul Crampton.

But with that has come growing concerns about the potential exploitation of these students.

And the colleges are required to continually monitor and assess their relationships with individual agents.

CBC News – Furniture Bank for Refugees Could Disappear Without New Home

Suzi Shore Sauvé started House to Home in the fall of 2020 out of her garage and said she has since helped about 500 refugee families get settled in their new homes. Sauvé currently stores thousands of donated items — from rolling pins to toasters and couches — at the old Country Grocer on Ridgewood Avenue near Mooney’s Bay. The construction company that owns the building and donates the space to Sauvé plans to redevelop the property and asked House to Home to leave this spring, she said.
