Global News – CBSA Reviewing Scores of Refugee Cases Handled by Disgraced Ex-B.C. Immigration Lawyer
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is investigating scores of cases handled by a disgraced former B.C. immigration lawyer, in a probe that could lead to deportations. Balraj “Roger” Bhatti was sentenced to 22 months in jail earlier this year after pleading guilty to 17 offences including forgery, misrepresentation and uttering forged documents. The offences took place between 2005 and 2014, and involved collaboration with a Hungarian translator to create forged documents.
CBC News – Afghan Interpreter Says Family Members Left Behind Are Being Hunted, Tortured by the Taliban

Toronto Star – Did Canada Use Facial-Recognition Software to Strip Two Refugees of Their Status? A Court Wants Better Answers
Canadian authorities can’t just brush off allegations that they are using facial-recognition software to discredit asylum-seekers, a court has ruled. The decision by the Federal Court comes in a case that has cast a spotlight on the possible use of the technology by the Canada Border Services Agency — a practice the agency denies. At the centre of the case are Asha Ali Barre and Alia Musa Hosh. The pair claimed to be Sunni Sufi Muslims, who fled sectarian and gender-based violence from Al-Shabaab and other militant Islamist groups in Somalia.
National Post – Canada to Have 50 million People, Half of Them Immigrant Families, by 2041
Just last year, Canada brought in 401,000 new permanent residents. One result of this influx, according to new projections from Statistics Canada, is that Canada will be home to as many as 50 million people by 2041. It’s twice as high as the Canadian population as recently as 1980. It also means that over the next 19 years, we’ll be adding enough new Canadians to equal the present-day equivalent of all of Western Canada.

They then raised thousands of dollars to support refugees and spent time in Ukraine and Poland a second time in May to deliver supplies to shelters and orphanages. When they returned home to Calgary the pair decided they wanted to do something long-term to help Ukrainians.
La Presse – Legault veut des chaires sur l’immigration, peut-être la souveraineté
François Legault veut créer 20 nouvelles chaires de recherche en études québécoises dans les universités dont l’une se pencherait sur le sujet chaud des seuils d’immigration. Le principe pour lui, c’est de « bien étudier le passé, le présent, et d’évaluer différents scénarios pour l’avenir pour qu’on soit capable de continuer d’être encore plus fiers de notre nation québécoise ».
