La Presse – Grève de la faim d’interprètes afghans. « Nous avons besoin d’aide pour nos familles
Près d’une centaine d’interprètes afghans ayant travaillé avec les Forces armées canadiennes ont entamé une grève de la faim mercredi à Ottawa, pour réclamer la venue au Canada de leurs familles élargies qui « sont en grave danger ». La grève de la faim tenue devant le parlement durera jusqu’à ce qu’un responsable du ministère de l’Immigration, des Réfugiés et de la Citoyenneté fasse des actions concrètes.
Radio-Canada – La face sombre du recrutement de travailleurs étrangers temporaires
Au cours des dernières années, le nombre de travailleurs étrangers temporaires a explosé, passant de 17 600 en 2017 à près de 33 000 l’an passé, malgré la pandémie. Si, pour beaucoup de travailleurs temporaires et leur famille, une arrivée au Canada concrétise le rêve d’une nouvelle vie, ce périple peut néanmoins virer au cauchemar : contrats non respectés, promesses d’immigration utopiques, frais exorbitants exigés, multiplication d’intermédiaires, intégration manquée.

Globe and Mail – In Brampton, Federal Campaign Pledges to Boost Immigration Are Creating Friction Among Classes and Generations
As Brampton East has grown into the federal riding with the largest proportion of South Asians (66 per cent), the diversity within its boundaries has grown too, along class, religious, ethnic and generational lines. There are vastly differing opinions in the riding among voters of South Asian origin on housing, jobs and – perhaps most divisive of all – immigration. Securing the so-called “immigrant vote” has become an outdated goal.
