Radio-Canada – Il serait « suicidaire » d’accueillir plus de 50 000 immigrants par an, selon Legault
Afin de contrer la tendance du déclin du français au Québec, François Legault estime qu’il faut s’en tenir au seuil d’immigration proposé par son parti, à savoir 50 000 immigrants par an dès 2023. Il serait « un peu suicidaire » d’accepter davantage de nouveaux arrivants, selon le chef caquiste. Le premier ministre sortant, sous lequel le Québec a accueilli plus d’immigrants que jamais, a déclaré mercredi matin devant la Chambre de commerce du Montréal métropolitain (CCMM) que son parti serait plus exigeant en matière de connaissance du français chez les immigrants.

“We need to stop the decline,” of the French language, Legault, the leader of centre-right Coalition Avenir Quebec party, told reporters at the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal.

Toronto Star – Hurricane Fiona Offered These Resettled Afghans a Glimpse of Extreme Weather in Canada
Zabit Popal fled the war in Afghanistan last year to have a peaceful life in Canada, but that peace was disrupted last weekend — not by a war but by a historic storm. Popal is a former air-traffic controller at Kabul Airport who was evacuated by NATO troops last year. A day before the storm hit, he bought food including bread and fruit. “I was prepared for it,” he said, but “I got worried when the power went off.”
Ottawa Citizen – Ottawa Advocates Plead for Intervention After Afghan Rights Worker’s Application to Come to Canada Is Rejected
Farzana Adell Ghadiya, who is in an undisclosed third country, was rejected for a visitor’s visa when she had actually applied for a Temporary Resident Permit for Protection (TRP), her supporters say.
“She did not apply for a temporary resident visa. She applied for a TRP,” said Matthew Behrens, co-ordinator of the Rural Refugee Rights Network. It was shocking that immigration officials seemed not to have fully read Adell Ghadiya’s application, which laid out the threats she faces if she returned to Afghanistan, Behrens said.
CBC News – Myanmar Model Han Lay Looks to Canada for Asylum, After Fearing Arrest by Military
A fashion model from Myanmar who feared being arrested by the country’s military government if she was forced back home from exile has flown to Canada, which she says has granted her asylum. Thaw Nandar Aung, also known as Han Lay, left on a flight from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport early Wednesday morning, according to Archayon Kraithong, a deputy commissioner of Thailand’s Immigration Bureau.

CBC News – Ontario, Quebec Still Keeping Migrant-Detention Contract with CBSA
Under agreements with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), many provinces imprison migrants for administrative reasons, a practice that violates international law. Alex, a fictitious name CBC has given him for security reasons, says he underwent several strip searches during his detention in the provincial jail of Rivière-des-Prairies in Montreal. This foreign national, who was not charged with any crime, spent about six months behind bars last year. His case is far from unique.
