Radio-Canada – Les visites aux détenus de l’immigration maintenant permises à Laval
Les visites en personne sont de nouveau autorisées au Centre de surveillance de l’immigration à Laval, au Québec, à la suite d’un reportage de Radio-Canada. Ce reportage avait révélé que les personnes détenues à Laval pour des raisons liées à l’immigration n’avaient toujours pas droit à des visites de leurs proches en raison de la pandémie. Pourtant, ces visites étaient permises dans les deux autres centres fédéraux, à Toronto et à Surrey, en Colombie-Britannique.
Toronto Star – Pandemic Limits Saskatchewan Students’ Access to Settlement Services
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it more difficult for young newcomers to navigate and integrate into Saskatchewan’s school system, particularly by limiting access to the crucial services of in-school settlement workers, a new report has found. According to the recent report from the Saskatchewan Association of Immigrant Settlement and Integration Agencies, Settlement Workers in School (SWIS) said immigrant students also face bullying and discrimination from peers who have made a false link between Asian newcomers and the virus.
CBC News – Providing Newcomers with Culturally Appropriate Food Not Easy, Says Calgary Organization
A Calgary organization that delivers culturally appropriate food hampers to mostly African newcomers is struggling to feed over 600 families on its wait-list — and that number is expected to continue growing. The program at Umoja Community Mosaic, which provides and delivers food twice monthly, was created when COVID-19 hit Canada in March 2020. The idea behind the program started when a single mom, who had a three-day-old baby, was unable to access the food bank because it was closed.
Toronto Star – ‘If We Are Not Canadian, What Are We?’ How a 2009 Law Is Leaving Some Children Stateless
This week, six Canadian families launch a Charter challenge against a rule in Canada’s citizenship act that denies the transmission of citizenship by descent to these foreign-born kids if both their Canadian parents also happened to be born overseas. The previous Conservative government changed the law in 2009 and imposed the so-called “second generation” cut-off against Canadians born abroad after Ottawa’s massive effort to evacuate 15,000 Lebanese Canadians stranded in Beirut.
Radio-Canada – L’espagnol, un héritage et un droit pour les enfants d’immigrants hispaniques au Canada
À Regina et à Montréal, deux instituts espagnols veulent faire reconnaître l’apprentissage de l’espagnol en tant que langue d’origine comme un des héritages culturels les plus précieux que les immigrants hispanophones puissent laisser à leur descendance. La langue d’origine relie les enfants d’immigrants à leurs racines et leur donne la force de défendre leur dualité en tant que Canadiens, estiment les fondateurs et coordinateurs de l’Escuela Salvadoreña de Español et de l’Institut Legados. De plus, elle contribue à la création d’une société plus inclusive.
Globe and Mail – At-Risk Afghans Say the Canadian Government Offered ‘False Hope’ of Escape
In August, the Liberal Party made a campaign pledge to spend $350-million to resettle at least 20,000 Afghan refugees from various vulnerable groups, including media workers, prominent women, LGBTQ people and others whose professions or previous work with Canadians put them at risk of retaliation or persecution from the Taliban. After Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s re-election in September, the federal government increased the commitment to 40,000. But that promise has been met with serious delays and logistical issues that have led to questions over whether it can ever be fulfilled.
