National Post – Inside the Smuggling Ring that Left a Family to Freeze to Death on a Perilous Walk Across Canada’s Border
The family of four that froze to death while trying to secretly walk into the United States from Manitoba during a blizzard were already waiting at the drop-off point in Canada when other Indian citizens arrived for the night hike across the border. Documents filed in court in the case against the alleged driver, Steve Shand, 47, of Deltona, Fla., disclose that U.S. authorities are investigating a human smuggling ring in the area. It seems a twice-monthly cross-border operation for Indian nationals, with someone dropping the migrants off on the Canadian side with winter clothing and sending them south, where someone is expected to pick them up.
Radio-Canada – L’Ontario accusé « d’exploiter » des infirmières formées à l’étranger
La province invite les infirmières formées à l’étranger à travailler comme simples préposées aux bénéficiaires dans les foyers pour aînés. Le programme vise à compenser la pénurie de main-d’oeuvre dans les centres de soins de longue durée liée à la pandémie et au variant Omicron.

However, racialized respondents who reported experiencing discrimination were less likely to fare as well, researchers say.

CBC News – Refugee Resettlement in the North: Yukon Group Looks to Sponsor 1st Family Since Pandemic Began
Yukon Cares has been helping resettle refugees in the territory since 2015, when the Syrian refugee crisis was happening. Since then, it has worked to sponsor a new refugee family every 12 to 18 months, mostly working through the federal Blended Visa Office-Referred (BVOR) program. The past two years have been a challenge, though. The BVOR program was put on hold during the pandemic, and public health restrictions have added difficulty to resettlement.
