Toronto Star – They Came to Canada, Were in Child Protection, but Never Got Legal Immigration Status. Now Advocates Are Speaking Up
As a young teen, Fili and a friend successfully swam aboard an Egyptian ship. They left behind a life of street violence for an unknown journey that would lead to the harbour of Quebec City in 2002. The 14-year-old became a Crown ward, but that only marked the beginning of a two-decade battle for the stowaway, an unaccompanied minor, to gain permanent residence in Canada while being bounced from foster home to foster home.
Globe and Mail – In Niagara Falls, Roxham Road Asylum Seekers Find Less Space and More Strife as Tourist Season Nears
More than 2,841 asylum seekers have been transferred to Niagara Falls by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada since last June, spread across more than 1,400 hotel rooms in the city after being shuttled on from their arrival in Quebec.

Mohammed says he is too scared to disclose more details about himself other than he had to flee Chad, in Central Africa, fearful for his life. He is one of the thousands of asylum seekers bused here shortly after arriving in Quebec from New York at an irregular border crossing called Roxham Road.
