Toronto Star – He Came Here 21 Years Ago Seeking Asylum. Now, Canada Is Deporting This 74-Year-Old, Despite His Pleas to Stay
Every Sunday, Samuel Ndesanjo Nyaga takes the TTC to the Kenyan church near Davenport and Old Weston roads, where he helps set up chairs, greet congregants and clean. The 74-year-old serves as a mentor, of sorts, to the children and youth who come to the service. He tries to guide them to become “righteous” grown-ups. He volunteers in the kitchen and serves snacks and coffee to the homeless. After 21 years in Canada, Nyaga, a failed asylum seeker, was handed a deportation date for the new year.
CBC News – Students from India Paid Thousands to Quebec Colleges They Couldn’t Attend. Now They Can’t Get that Money Back
For years, Amanpreet Kaur’s parents set aside what money they could so their daughter could study abroad. In 2020, Kaur enrolled in business administration at M College of Canada, a private college in Montreal. Her tuition totalled more than $15,000 for the year. When her permit still hadn’t been approved by the federal government by spring, she decided to withdraw from the school. The college initially told her it would take six to eight weeks to give her back just $7,300 (less than half of what she paid), but that wait has now stretched to more than half a year.

Radio-Canada – Immigration et emploi : le milieu communautaire veut un meilleur accès aux programmes
La Société acadienne et francophone de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard (SAFîle) ainsi que le Réseau de développement économique et d’employabilité (RDÉE) de la province souhaitent que les organismes communautaires francophones aient plus de place dans les programmes d’immigration, notamment dans le Programme d’immigration au Canada atlantique. Ce programme, qui facilite l’immigration dans la région, est devenu un programme permanent.
La Presse – Demandeurs d’asile. Ottawa durcit le ton
Le flot de migrants qui entrent au pays de façon irrégulière par le chemin Roxham a repris en décembre. Mais peut-être pas pour longtemps : Ottawa aura le pouvoir dans un proche avenir de fermer la porte aux demandeurs d’asile qui évitent les postes frontaliers officiels. Cette brèche qui sera ainsi colmatée est le fruit d’une entente négociée discrètement avec Washington.
Globe and Mail – For Many Newcomers, ‘Canadian Experience’ Remains a Barrier to Meaningful Employment
It’s a long-standing conundrum for new immigrants, including the many newcomers who call Brampton home. Though many worked in their chosen fields in their home countries, upon arrival in Canada they often find themselves unable to do so – not only because of different rules and regulations, but because most jobs require applicants to have Canadian work experience to even be considered.
