CBC News — They came to Toronto for safety. Instead African asylum seekers faced racism, homelessness, says new report
The halls of Pilgrim Feast Tabernacles Church sit empty now, a stark contrast to 2023 when they were brimming with African asylum seekers who had nowhere else to go. Several cultural and faith-based community organizations “banded together” to house and support the influx of refugee asylum seekers coming into the city at the time — many of whom had been forced to sleep on the streets without adequate municipal support, unable to access the city’s overflowing shelter system — says Nadine Miller, the church’s executive director. Two years later, a new study by United Way Greater Toronto has detailed systemic anti-Black racism faced by newcomers in the Greater Toronto Area in 2023 — most of whom were Black and from African countries — as well as failures within the government system.
Vingt 55 — Travailleurs étrangers temporaires : L’ARQ presse Ottawa de relâcher les règles pour retenir les employés déjà en poste
L’Association Restauration Québec (ARQ) demande au gouvernement fédéral de revoir les restrictions imposées en 2024 au « Programme des travailleurs étrangers temporaires », qui compliquent le renouvellement des permis pour des employés déjà intégrés. En effet, à Drummondville, Victoriaville, en Mauricie–Centre-du-Québec comme dans l’ensemble de la province, la situation demeure critique pour de nombreux commerçants et restaurateurs. L’Association Restauration Québec (ARQ) réclame un assouplissement des conditions actuelles afin d’éviter la perte d’une main-d’œuvre essentielle à la survie de plusieurs établissements.
Radio-Canada — Des demandeurs d’asile victimes de « discrimination »
Des demandeurs d’asile africains, qui s’étaient réfugiés dans le Grand Toronto en 2023, seraient encore victimes de discrimination, révèle un nouveau rapport de Centraide. Ils seraient toujours confrontés à des barrières systémiques en lien avec l’accès au logement et aux ressources de base, selon le rapport. Le plus grand obstacle, c’est le racisme, soutient le chercheur principal de l’étude, Jean de Dieu Basabose. C’est un obstacle supplémentaire qui s’ajoute à leur parcours particulièrement difficile, ajoute-t-il.
Radio-Canada — Frostbite and fear: Inside a journey into Canada with human smugglers
The 57-year-old says he paid $2,000 US in cash to a human smuggling organization in New Jersey to escape the immigration raids sweeping the U.S. He says the smugglers lied to him about the dangers of the journey that almost killed him along the borderlands between New York State and Quebec in February of this year. The Canada-US Border Rights Clinic, an organization that provides legal advice to migrants, is working on his case but he’s facing imminent deportation to Nigeria — a country he left 37 years ago. He’s now warning others not to follow in his footsteps.
The Guardian — Hundreds of detainees with no criminal charges sent to Trump’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
The notorious new “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration jail in the Florida Everglades contains hundreds of detainees with no criminal records or charges, it was disclosed on Sunday, as lawmakers decried “inhumane” conditions inside after touring the facility. Donald Trump has insisted that the remote camp in swamp land populated by pythons and alligators was reserved for immigrants who were “deranged psychopaths” and “some of the most vicious people on the planet” awaiting deportation.But at least one detainee shouted out to politicians during Saturday’s visit that he was a US citizen, the Democratic Florida congressman Maxwell Frost said. And the Miami Herald obtained and published a list of 700 people held in cages showing that at least 250 had committed no offense other than a civil immigration violation.
A new data visualization tool from Statistics Canada offers fresh insight into the income and financial outcomes of immigrants living in Canada. Launched on July 7, the tool allows users to filter both average and median income levels based on a variety of factors, including immigration status. The latest reference year available for the tool is 2021. According to the data tool, the average employment income in 2021 for immigrants was CAD $49,160. This includes income that comes from salary, wages, tips, commissions, and self-employment from those aged 15 years and older. The median employment income for immigrants was $36,800. The median income divides the distribution of that group into two halves. That means half of the people earn more than the median amount, while half earn below the median amount.
