Francopresse – Immigration et francophonie : le rôle de l’école
À l’école Donat-Robichaud de Cap-Pelé, au Nouveau-Brunswick, près de 17 % des élèves viennent d’ailleurs. Cela représente un défi de taille pour la communauté, qui s’efforce d’entourer, d’aiguiller et d’accompagner les jeunes et leurs parents dans leur intégration. Au fil des ans, le milieu scolaire a mis en place des initiatives très concrètes pour y parvenir. Les 49 élèves nouveaux arrivants de cette année viennent majoritairement des Philippines, du Mexique et de Jamaïque.

CBC News – Refugee PSW Wants to Help But Is Shut Out of Essential Workers’ Residency Program
After filling in the gaps for personal support workers by working with agencies in Hamilton during the worst of the pandemic, Jane, a failed refugee claimant from Uganda fleeing oppression for her sexual orientation, was eager to learn about the federal government’s new pathway to permanent residence for healthcare workers.
