CBC News – Citizenship Oath Sworn by New Canadians Now Recognizes Indigenous Rights
New Canadians are now swearing a revised oath of citizenship that recognizes Indigenous rights, but are still studying the old citizenship guide that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission also recommended be revised.

Ottawa Citizen – Ottawa’s Chinese Families Called for Project Seeking Immigration Certificates to Mark Canada’s Mistreatment of Chinese Newcomers
A nation-wide hunt for historic Chinese immigration identity documents hopes that longstanding Chinese families in Ottawa will be able to contribute. “We invite people in the Ottawa area to contact us if they have any of the certificates we are looking for,” said Catherine Clement, curator of the project. Tens of thousands of the documents were issued between 1885 and 1924. Clement’s project hopes to include the so-called C.I. certificates in an exhibition and archive next year that will mark the 100th anniversary of the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act.

La Presse – De nombreux obstacles attendent les étudiants étrangers

Parmi ceux-ci figurent le retard dans l’octroi des visas, l’accès à un vaccin, les mesures de quarantaine et la moins grande disponibilité des vols. Si le ministère fédéral de l’Immigration, des Réfugiés et de la Citoyenneté dit vouloir approuver les demandes de permis d’études d’ici le 6 août. Cependant, l’examen de certaines demandes peut prendre plus de temps quand celles-ci sont incomplètes, prévient une porte-parole, Nancy Caron.
