Voies vers la prospérité: Canada

Des organismes de parrainage de réfugiés dénoncent les longs délais d’une enquête du ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) sur des cas de fraudes allégués, qui les empêchent actuellement de déposer de nouveaux dossiers. Pour certains, cette lenteur ne fait que profiter au gouvernement de François Legault, qui n’entend pas faire de l’accueil des réfugiés une priorité.

Deux professeurs du département des sciences de l’éducation de l’Université Sainte-Anne, en Nouvelle-Écosse, publient un article sur une étude sur la capacité de l’école francophone en milieu minoritaire à accueillir des immigrants. Auteur principal de l’article, le professeur Liboy fait remarquer d’entrée de jeu que le système d’éducation canadien n’a pas été conçu pour remplir un tel rôle.

Some nights there are as many as 20 people gingerly stepping into the canoes at Carburn Park, their first experience in a water craft that has connected this vast land for more than 1,000 years. Participants are signed up through Immigrant Services Calgary, and qualified paddling instructors walk them through everything from putting on a life jacket and getting in and out safely, to draws, pries and j-strokes.

A new global Ipsos study, carried out to mark World Refugee Day 2021, paints a mixed picture of attitudes towards refugees. Although Canadians agree (72%) with the idea that persons should be able to seek refuge from war and persecution, when it comes to putting principle into practice very few (10%) are willing to open up their borders to more refugees. Coupled with widespread skepticism (52%) over whether those seeking refuge are genuine, Ipsos data paints a picture that shows Canadians may not be as welcoming as our global reputation suggests.

When the Canadian government invited Hong Kongers to apply for a work permit that Ottawa designed solely for people from the territory, plumbing engineer Kay Pang applied as soon as he could. The open work permit allows Pang to travel anywhere in Canada to look for a job, but he recently learned that the document — contrary to what the government had promised in February — won’t expedite permanent residency for everybody from Hong Kong. In truth, people who graduated in 2016 or earlier are not eligible.

Migrants in Canada are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to unite families and dole out full immigration status this Father’s Day, which coincides with World Refugee Day. The Migrants Rights Network slammed the federal government’s initiatives aimed at supporting the flow of more refugees into the country in a release on Sunday, saying they fell “incredibly short.”
