Toronto Star – Canada Leaves Door Open to Russians After Ukraine Invasion, Issuing Thousands of Visas
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Ukrainians this week, on their day of independence: “You are not alone. Canadians stand with you.” Yet Canada has not taken a step that the Ukrainian government is now calling for. It has not closed its borders to Russians — at least not entirely. Ottawa has issued thousands of visas to citizens of President Vladimir Putin’s Russia since that country’s military invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, according to figures obtained by the Star.
CTV News – Changes Coming to Rural Northern Immigration Pilot Program
The Rural Northern Immigration Pilot program is being called a success by Canada’s immigration minister Sean Fraser, but since its launch in 2020, he said pandemic border closures didn’t give the program a chance to prove its worth for local employers. That’s why among the changes Fraser announced he’s making to the program this fall at a town meeting in Timmins Friday, is extending the pilot’s deadline to 2024.
CBC News – Edmonton-based Chair of National Migrant Rights Group Faces Deportation
Danilo De Leon, national chair of Migrante Canada, is set to leave the country for the Philippines on Monday. His temporary residency status expired in 2016; since then he has been an undocumented worker.

Radio-Canada – Les retards dans la délivrance de visas inquiètent les étudiants étrangers
Le haut-commissariat de l’Inde à Ottawa a décidé d’intervenir auprès du gouvernement fédéral pour que ses ressortissants en attente de visa ne manquent pas leurs premiers cours au Canada. Le ministre de l’Immigration, Sean Fraser, a déclaré que le gouvernement cherchait des moyens de prioriser les demandes de visa pour les étudiants étrangers qui doivent commencer l’école dans les prochaines semaines, car beaucoup craignent de ne pas arriver au Canada à temps pour la rentrée.
Globe and Mail – International Students Waiting for Visas from Ottawa at Risk of Missing Start of Classes
The issue has sparked a complaint from the Indian High Commission in Ottawa, which said in a statement that it has received a number of petitions from Indian students frustrated with lengthy wait times for visa processing. India is Canada’s largest source country for international postsecondary students. Students from outside Canada pay tuition fees that are often more than two or three times higher than those paid by domestic students, and that money has become a crucial source of funding to universities and colleges across the country.
