Toronto Star – ‘Earth-Shattering’: Why Applicants to Canada’s Special, One-Time Immigration Program Fear a Computer Glitch May Have Dashed Their Dreams
The so-called TR-to-PR pathway has six streams, three each for English-speaking and French-speaking applicants, under international graduates, health and non-health essential worker categories. All three English-speaking streams had caps and were removed from the portal once they were filled. As the applications are being processed, a growing number of applicants for the English-speaking streams are claiming that a glitch in the immigration application portal has wrongfully bumped them into the French streams. While some have already received refusal letters, others are just starting to spot the problem in their application record.
Globe and Mail – Afghans Who Worked for Canadian Military Still Waiting for Rescue from Kabul Safe House
The guards, translators, chefs and their families – nearly 100 people in all, including 32 children – live together in a cramped safe house. Other than the occasional grocery trip, the group stays inside the building day and night, with their children unable to go to school. They share what scant information they have with other Afghans stuck in similar limbo through a WhatsApp group named “IRCC” – the acronym for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the department they blame for their prolonged purgatory.

Plus de 3500 Afghans ayant travaillé pour le Canada et dotés d’un visa spécial demeurent toujours coincés à Kaboul, la capitale étant contrôlée par les talibans.

Ottawa Citizen – Ottawa Rallying to Welcome Refugees from Afghanistan
Last month, a posting on social media about the anticipated influx of Afghan refugees to Ottawa sparked questions about what people could do to help. Weeks later, the members of the newly created Afghan Canadian Support Network are collecting donations of gift cards, new and gently used clothing and furniture to help welcome the refugees. “They had to leave everything. A lot of the kids are still in the clothes they came in,” said Navin Steele, one of the founding members.
CBC News – Free Haircuts Serve as a Way to Welcome Afghan Refugees to Their New Life in Calgary
As dozens of Afghan refugees start to get settled in Calgary, following a chaotic and heart-wrenching exit from their home, some began to feel the need for a new look to go along with their new life. The refugees also spent a two-week stint quarantining in Toronto before heading west. The society reached out to Goat Salon in southwest Calgary to see if they could provide their services for free to a few folks. That’s turned into 78 and counting.
CBC News – Racism, prejudice contributed to Joyce Echaquan’s death in hospital, Quebec coroner’s inquiry concludes
The Quebec government must recognize the existence of systemic racism within its institutions, according to the coroner tasked with investigating the death of Joyce Echaquan, who concluded that the racism and prejudice the Atikamekw woman faced in hospital contributed to her death.
