Le Devoir – Ottawa s’attaque aux délais « frustrants » en immigration
Reconnaissant que « les délais de traitement [des demandes] ont été incroyablement frustrants pour de nombreuses personnes », le ministre fédéral de l’Immigration Sean Fraser a promis lundi de retourner aux standards d’ici la fin de l’année. Ce sont 85 millions de dollars qui seront investis pour accélérer le traitement des demandes d’immigration et ainsi réduire l’inventaire en attente. Malgré un nombre record d’immigrants accueillis en 2021, plus de 1,8 million de dossiers sont en attente de traitement, à cause de facteurs liés à la pandémie, selon le ministre.

Canada’s immigration minister pledged more funding and tools to help clear a backlog, but said it would still be months before the government would be taking any new applications from highly skilled foreign workers.

He said the government has made $85 million available to help reduce the backlogs.

It sparked the idea of using photography as a way to recognize the contributions of immigrants as essential workers during the pandemic.
CBC News – Nova Scotia Ramps Up Efforts to Attract Newcomers
Sasha Raz and his husband, Sergei Sarnavsky, knew they wanted to move to Canada when they decided to leave Israel. Choosing where to live was the harder decision. The couple moved to Nova Scotia’s South Shore in June 2020 in large part because of the connection they made with Tina Hennigar. She had just been hired by the province as one of six navigators to try to attract people who had some interest in moving to Nova Scotia.
Toronto Star – Canada Squanders Economic, Social Benefits by Keeping Out New Canadian’s Relatives
Canada is losing manifold economic and social benefits and going against its own values when it denies visitor visas and study permits to family members of new Canadians. Denials are rooted in belief that visitors with family ties in Canada are more likely to overstay their visas, but while no data exists to back up this claim, why should that even be a concern?
Toronto Star – One Province Is Taking a First Step Toward Ending Canada’s Immigrant-Detention System
British Columbia is set to review its contract with the federal government to house immigration detainees in provincial jails, a move that advocates hope will ultimately end migrant incarceration alongside dangerous criminals. The initiative by the B.C. government is a first victory of a national campaign to lobby provinces to end immigration-detention arrangements with Ottawa. The campaign’s organizers hope this will replicate across Canada, especially in Ontario, which has the highest number of migrants in custody.
