CBC News – Barriers to Voting Make It Difficult for Newcomers to Vote in Calgary Municipal Elections, City Says

Canadians born outside of the country are less likely to vote in municipal elections, according to the City of Calgary. And it’s trying to do something about that. This month, city officials are launching an online survey, focus groups and consultations with immigrant organizations to find out what’s keeping newcomers away from the ballot box.

CBC News – Transgender Irish Teen Given Chance to Argue Risks of His Deportation After Family Speaks Out

A transgender teen from Ireland who had been facing removal from Canada due to an immigration error made by his family has won a short stay in his case — he can apply for a risk assessment to explain the family’s concerns he could face discrimination, bullying or violence in his home country.  Adam Tyrrell Haslam’s small victory comes after the 19-year-old’s family began a legal fight in September to try to stop Canada from deporting the young man.

National Post – Visa Issues at COP15 Biodiversity Summit in Montreal Could Stem from UN Delays

The COP15 conference on biodiversity loss is underway in Montreal, but hundreds of delegates from developing countries are missing out due to visa issues that could stem from the United Nations issuing late accreditations. “It was pretty disappointing to get rejected,” Pervez Aly, a prominent youth activist, said in an interview Wednesday from Pakistan. This past summer, the federal Immigration Department caused an uproar when it denied visas for multiple African delegates for the International AIDS Conference, also held in Montreal.

CTV News – Calgary Immigrants Can Now Get Help at the Airport as Soon as They Land

Immigrants arriving in Calgary through the Calgary International Airport can now head to a new booth as soon as they land for help getting settled. The booth – called the Immigrant Arrival Centre – is a place where new immigrants and refugees can ask questions and seek support immediately upon their arrival. While it will support all newcomers, the booth was created in response to the influx of Ukrainian nationals coming to Calgary and the surrounding area.

Radio-Canada – Qui sont les Latino-Américains qui viennent au Canada?

Au cours des cinq dernières années, ce sont surtout des Brésiliens, des Vénézuéliens, des Dominicains et des Mexicains qui sont arrivés au Canada en grand nombre. L’immigration latino-américaine au Canada continue de croître. Beaucoup de ces nouveaux arrivants viennent par l’entremise de programmes économiques, d’autres par parrainage et beaucoup d’autres comme réfugiés. Selon le sociologue et chercheur Víctor Armony, les Latino-Américains continueront à venir pour diverses raisons tant que le Canada gardera la porte relativement ouverte.
