Mark Sultana says Canada’s decision to halt most air travel from the United Kingdom, where a mutated strain of COVID-19 has been discovered, landed “like a bombshell.” The federal government said late Sunday that passenger flights from the U.K. into Canada would be suspended for 72 hours in an attempt to keep out a new strain of COVID-19 discovered by British health officials.
A Vancouver settlement agency is ready to welcome 97 refugees who’ve been detained on islands north of Australia, but COVID-19 has put a wrench in the plan. Applications from the MOSAIC immigrant settlement organization to sponsor the new arrivals have passed the initial approval process in Canada, and they’ve been transferred to the overseas visa office in Sydney. Because of the pandemic, Canada’s Sydney visa office is closed, which means the paperwork and final checks can’t be completed for the 97 refugees.

At least four universities in Nova Scotia have made it mandatory for international students who are traveling from international locations to quarantine outside of their own residence. Dalhousie University, Saint Mary’s University, Cape Breton University, and Acadia University ask their international students to either stay on campus or in a hotel for the mandatory 14-day quarantine period.

For Yasmen De Leon, making and eating Mexican food has been a connection to her roots that she and her family carry wherever they go. Born in Mexico, the Toronto woman migrated to the United States with her family when she was four years old before they eventually made it to Canada to find asylum in 1986. De Leon’s story and recipes are part of a cookbook published by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Canada to mark the refugee agency’s 70th anniversary.
An educational pilot program on P.E.I. aims to make learning English more accessible for students in rural parts of the Island by offering classes virtually.

Those who were on the verge of immigrating to Canada before the pandemic struck say the government’s sluggish effort to renew their immigration documents is causing them profound financial and emotional stress. Thousands of approved applicants have been trapped in limbo because border closures delayed their departures, resulting in expired authorizations. Many had already sold their homes, liquidated their assets and pulled their children from school and are now stuck in their home countries.
