CityNews – Is Canada Set to Become an Outlier on Immigration?
The federal government revealed last month a plan to up the number of new immigrants the country brings in each year to 500,000 by 2025, and while that number does seem quite substantial, it’s tough to tell on its own. Mikal Skuterud, Professor of Economics at the University of Waterloo, said, with these latest federal targets, Canada has essentially set a goal to hit as high as 1.2 per cent of overall population by 2025, which he said would make Canada a bit of an outlier, comparatively.
Globe and Mail – Canada’s Baha’i Community See Iran Protests as Hope for Political and Social Change
In the 1980s, thousands of Baha’is fled Iran and began new lives in Canada – many brought over through the federal government’s Iranian Baha’i refugee program. These refugees have watched the protests in Iran of the last two months – the biggest since the revolution in 1979 – with a mix of familiarity and horror. But given that this movement, sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, has gained broader appeal and international attention than any previous uprisings, many also see hope for lasting political and social change.
London Free Press – Local Afghan Refugee Student, 19, Seeks Help to Bring Family to Canada
A 19-year-old Western University student from Afghanistan is racing against the clock to raise the $10,000 he still needs to bring his family to Canada before all the spots in a federal program expediting sponsorships for people fleeing the Taliban are taken. Fayaz Alamyar, who is studying computer sciences at Western through a scholarship, arrived in Canada last September after being granted political asylum.
La Presse – Le Bloc réclame de l’action après un « nouveau record » de passages
Le Bloc québécois exhorte de nouveau le gouvernement Trudeau à suspendre l’Entente sur les tiers pays sûrs alors que le mois d’octobre a été le mois le plus achalandé de 2022 au chemin Roxham, en Montérégie, passage de fortune utilisé par des demandeurs d’asile potentiels pour entrer irrégulièrement au Canada. Le chemin Roxham est bien connu comme étant le principal – voire le seul – point d’entrée de fortune pour mettre les pieds au Québec depuis les États-Unis.
CBC News – ‘Cautiously Optimistic’: Lawyer for Truck Driver in Broncos Crash Waiting on Federal Court
In 2019, Jaskirat Singh Sidhu was sentenced to eight years after pleading guilty to dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm in the Saskatchewan crash that killed 16 people and injured 13 others. The Canada Border Services Agency recommended in March that Sidhu be handed over to the Immigration and Refugee Board to decide whether he should be deported to India. Michael Greene, Sidhu’s lawyer, said all written arguments with the Federal Court were filed in July, adding that no news can be good news when waiting for the court to make its decision.
CBC News – Transgender Irish Teen’s Family Fights to Stay in Canada, Trapped in 21-Month Immigration Limbo
The family says an employer — entering the wrong labour code on a document in 2013 — led to their permanent residency application being initially denied, which meant they returned to Ireland in 2015. But since coming back to Canada in 2019, red tape and a wrong turn that saw them accidentally cross into the U.S. through a small B.C. town while attempting to meet with Canadian border officials, led to orders that they leave Canada. Returning to Ireland is not an option, the family says, as this could put Adam, 19, in jeopardy.
