CTV News – Migrant Worker’s Death Prompts Advocacy Calls for Full and Permanent Immigration Status
Working conditions of migrant farm workers have come into focus following the death of a migrant worker while operating heavy equipment at a southern Ontario farm last week.

CBC News – Jamaican Migrant Workers In Ontario Pen Open Letter Likening Conditions To ‘Systematic Slavery’
Jamaican migrant farm workers in Niagara Region wrote an open letter to Jamaica’s Ministry of Labour requesting more support in the face of what they call “systematic slavery,” days before a migrant worker died in Norfolk County. Garvin Yapp, 57, of St. James, Jamaica, was killed last Sunday in an accident with a tobacco harvester at Berlo’s Best Farm in Norfolk County, two hours southwest of Toronto.
Radio-Canada – Immigration francophone : une priorité pour Ottawa et Frédéricton, mais les défis restent
Les récentes données de Statistique Canada sur le déclin du poids démographique des francophones au pays braquent les projecteurs sur les cibles à atteindre en matière d’immigration francophone. Ottawa et Fredericton s’entendent pour dire qu’il s’agit d’une priorité, mais des organismes d’intégration des nouveaux arrivants soulignent que les défis de rétention des immigrants sont énormes. Actuellement, la cible de nouveaux arrivants francophones hors Québec est de 4,4 % par année. Le Canada n’a jamais atteint cette cible, établie depuis 2003.
Toronto Star – After Canada Denied Her Health Care, She Lost a Leg, Her Sight and Her Kidneys. A Court Just Ruled She Can Sue
By the time Nell Toussaint finally got her permanent residence on humanitarian grounds in 2013 — and the much-needed health insurance coverage — she had already suffered “irreversible sicknesses.” But her permanent status and health problems have not stopped her from fighting for others still in immigration limbo and who have dire medical needs. This week, Toussaint scored a victory in her latest legal saga when an Ontario court dismissed an attempt by the federal government to strike down her claim, which has been boosted by a United Nations investigation that found Canada failed to meet its international obligations to her “right to life.”
Globe and Mail – For Those Fleeing War and Conflict to Canada, Opening a Bank Account and Securing a Credit Card Pose Challenges
Zamir Saar arrived in Canada from Ukraine last November and needed to set up a new bank account. But because he didn’t know how the banking system works and which bank offers the best credit products, he relied on YouTube videos and friends for tips in deciding the type of account or which bank to choose. Newcomers to Canada often find it difficult navigating an unfamiliar banking system and understanding the myriad product options, and can get stuck when opening a new bank account, building credit and meeting a financial institution’s documentation requirements.
Le Quotidien – Les étudiants africains francophones encore rejetés à la tonne
Pendant que la pénurie de main-d’oeuvre chamboule l’économie au pays, les demandes de permis d’étudiants internationaux sont rejetées à la tonne par le fédéral. Et ce sont encore les Africains, surtout francophones, qui encaissent des refus en grande majorité. Les raisons évoquées par le fédéral dans les lettres de refus envoyées aux étudiants sont toujours sensiblement les mêmes. On craint qu’ils restent au pays.
