CBC News – Here’s What Happens When Your Immigration Application Is Assigned to Inactive Employees IDs
After CBC News published a story about how Canada’s immigration department assigned tens of thousands of applications to hundreds of inactive employees and placeholder codes, the department explained its processing system and why it does this. IRCC employees are identified via codes, which consist of a mix of letters and numbers (AB12345, for example). “The user code is a unique ID,” explained an IRCC spokesperson about the data back in November. IRCC says its practice of repurposing former employees’ IDs “became common around 2016.”
Global News – Ottawa to Help Resettle 600 LGBTQ Afghans to Canada: Refugee Group
Earlier this week, Toronto-based Rainbow Railroad said it has only been able to resettle four per cent of the nearly 3,800 Afghans who have asked the organization for help coming to Canada since the Taliban took over their country. The organization complained that Ottawa’s resettlement programs don’t account for Afghans who are persecuted on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, and who often can’t safely flee to neighbouring countries.
CityNews – ‘My Heart Is Crying’: Afghan Refugees Wait on Family Members to Join Them in Canada
Khalid Khogiani arrived in Canada from Afghanistan through Pakistan more than a year ago and has been waiting for the Canadian government to process the refugee applications for his wife, mother and siblings ever since. The 34-year-old, who worked with the Canadian Armed Forces in Kandahar between 2009 and 2011, said he applied for asylum at Canada’s embassy in Kabul and got his visa before the Taliban seized control of the Afghan capital in August 2021. He arrived in Canada two months after the takeover, but the rest of his family stayed in the family’s house in Afghanistan.
CTV News – Celebrating ‘the Canadian Way’: Father Fights in Ukraine as Mother, Daughter Spend First Christmas in Montreal
A mother and her young daughter who are spending their first Christmas in Montreal after fleeing Ukraine are having to reinvent a holiday they celebrated so differently back home.

Le Devoir – Ottawa veut aider 600 réfugiés afghans LGBTQ à s’installer au Canada, selon un groupe
Un groupe de réfugiés LGBTQ atteste qu’Ottawa aidera à accueillir au Canada 600 Afghans qui fuient la persécution en raison de leur orientation sexuelle ou de leur identité de genre. Plus tôt cette semaine, Rainbow Railroad, une organisation caritative canadienne établie à Toronto, avait déclaré qu’elle n’avait pu réinstaller que 4 % des quelque 3 800 Afghans qui avaient demandé de l’aide pour venir au Canada depuis que les talibans avaient pris le contrôle de leur pays.
Radio-Canada – Statistique Canada : plus grande augmentation de population jamais enregistrée en Alberta
Statistique Canada a annoncé, mercredi, que la population de l’Alberta a atteint 4 601 314 personnes en octobre dernier, un chiffre attribuable en partie aux quelque 60 000 nouveaux habitants que la province a accueillis de juillet à septembre. Le directeur général de l’Alberta Association of Immigrant Serving Agencies (AAISA), Sarosh Rizvi, n’est pas étonné par la récente hausse de population dans la province. Il estime que des réfugiés ukrainiens, ainsi que des réfugiés afghans, se tournent vers l’Alberta où le coût de la vie est plus abordable que dans d’autres grandes villes canadiennes.
