Global News – Afghan Interpreter in Pakistan Pleads with Ottawa to Speed Up Visa Processing
A former Canadian Forces interpreter who managed to escape to Pakistan this month is pleading with the Canadian government to speed up the processing of visas for the thousands of vulnerable Afghans hoping to get to Canada. Maroof — which is not his real name — spoke to Global News from Islamabad, Pakistan. He and 12 family members arrived in Pakistan last week, having received their travel documents from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
CTV News – How a Canadian Interpreter Escaped Kabul, with Little Help from Ottawa
When I answered the phone, all I heard was the staccato of rapid gunfire. The call was from a Canadian I’d been corresponding with in Afghanistan. I’ll call him Hamid, because even publicly mentioning his actual first name could get him killed by the Taliban. Hamid played a role in the Washington-led War on Terror. He was a translator, helping Canadian troops throughout their 12-year mission.
Le Journal de Montréal – Ça coûte en moyenne 18 000$ par an pour parrainer un seul réfugié
Le retour du régime des talibans a conduit le Canada à ouvrir ses frontières pour accueillir 20 000 Afghans. Depuis, des milliers de Québécois répondent à l’appel du programme de parrainage privé de réfugiés immigrants.

CBC News – Name Change Tightens Focus on Immigrant Newcomers
The Prince Edward Island Association for Newcomers to Canada is officially changing its name on Friday, in the hopes of giving people a more clear idea of what the group does. It will be known as Immigrant & Refugee Services Association P.E.I. That can be shortened to IRSA, which can be read as a word rather than spelled out, as PEIANC was. Executive director Craig Mackie said the association received calls regularly from people confused about what they did.
Globe and Mail – Families of Canadians Trapped in Syria Turn to Federal Court for Ottawa’s Help
The families of Canadians trapped in northern Syria are asking the Federal Court to force Ottawa to help them. The 11 families say in a court filing that the government’s refusal to step in amounts to breaches of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Citizenship Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, among other statutes. The application was submitted on behalf of several Canadians with relatives, including more than a dozen children, trapped in Syria, and calls on the court to order the government to take “all reasonable steps” to repatriate them.
Francopresse – Vie politique : la place à prendre des immigrantes francophones
Alors qu’une majorité d’hommes a été élue le 20 septembre dernier à la Chambre des communes, impliquer des femmes, notamment immigrantes et francophones, dans la vie politique reste encore un défi. Si de nombreux sujets les concernent directement, leur engagement reste timide. Démontrer l’importance d’une pluralité de voix en politique est l’un des buts d’organismes tels que le Mouvement ontarien des femmes immigrantes francophones (MOFIF).
