Le 11 aout, le ministère de l’Immigration a dévoilé une enveloppe de 2,1 M$ pour « éliminer les obstacles particuliers » qui se dressent sur le chemin des femmes et des filles immigrantes racisées qui tentent d’accéder à un emploi. Parmi ces difficultés majeures, l’une est de taille pour ces nouvelles arrivantes francophones : l’obligation de parler anglais lors de l’embauche.
Halima Bahman may be sitting in the safety of her home in the suburbs north of Toronto, but her mind is thousands of kilometres away in Afghanistan, where the Taliban’s renewed grip on power makes her fear the worst for family and friends. Bahman is one of many Afghan expats who have spent the past week fielding phone calls and text messages, trying to help however they can. She is fundraising for those who’ve been displaced, guiding people through the bureaucracy of applying for asylum and translating information.

Canada’s minister of immigration says that the country’s current evacuation effort in Afghanistan, which to date totals the rescue of over a thousand refugees, is “nothing short of miraculous” given the current logistical obstacles and Canada’s lack of military presence within the country.

Canadian evacuation flights have pulled more than 1,100 people out of Afghanistan this month, Immigration Minister Marco Mendocino said Sunday, and 40 families evacuated before the Taliban marched into Kabul have now completed their COVID-19 quarantine periods in Canada. Afghan families began arriving in Canada on Aug. 4. Canadian rescue efforts were halted for several days, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has blamed on the Taliban’s presence at the airport in Kabul.
Celles et ceux qui s’occupent d’ainés en situation de dépendance sont au bord de l’épuisement depuis le début de la pandémie. Pour les proches aidants francophones en situation minoritaire, bénéficier de soutien dans leur langue maternelle peut se révéler un parcours du combattant : «Il est plus difficile d’accéder à de l’information et à des conseils en français, et il faut attendre plus longtemps pour bénéficier de services», regrette Annie Robitaille, professeure à l’École interdisciplinaire des sciences de la santé (ISHS) de l’Université d’Ottawa.
