CBC News — Immigration lawyers concerned IRCC’s use of processing technology leading to unfair visa refusals
Immigration professionals and people applying to enter Canada say they’re increasingly getting refusal letters they think don’t make sense — leading them to wonder whether their cases are being fully and properly reviewed by a human being. Toronto immigration lawyer Mario Bellissimo began to have concerns after seeing multiple examples, such as a case he worked on where the officer refused an application on the grounds that no birth certificate was included, even though he says a copy of the birth certificate was attached to the application.
The Globe and Mail — How BMO helps newcomers build their future in Canada
Moving to a new country is a leap of faith. From finding a new job and a place to live, to saving to achieve your dreams, finances are woven into every step. It’s exciting yet stressful – which is exactly why Canadian banks can make a big difference in empowering newcomers, helping them turn possibility into progress. Common challenges include building a Canadian credit history and learning a new banking system, all on top of possible language or cultural barriers. To support newcomers, BMO developed the BMO NewStart® Program. It provides tailored banking offers and products, up to $2,300 in value*, including two years of no-fee banking on the Performance chequing account* and no-fee Global Money Transfers. The program is designed to remove some of the financial pressures that come with starting their new life in Canada.
CBC News — Temporary foreign worker in Cape Breton concerned about program’s future
A Glace Bay fish plant worker from the Philippines says the end of the federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program could cut off her family’s financial lifeline. Thirty-three year-old Charmine Sanchez is her family’s main provider. She sends money home to help her mother’s small business. The role fell to her after her father became ill and could no longer work. The program faces opposition in Canada. Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the federal Conservatives, has called for its end.
Global News — Police arrest multiple people at opposing immigration demonstrations in Toronto
Ten people were arrested when a demonstration calling for deportations and an end to mass immigration was met by a counter-demonstration in a Toronto park known as the scene of an historic antisemitic riot. Hundreds of people supporting immigration gathered at Toronto’s Christie Pits Park on Saturday afternoon in response to a demonstration encouraging mass deportations and nationalism called “Canada First.” Organizers of the Canada First rally took to social media last month to promote their event, with a poster advertising it for 1 p.m. reading, “Stop mass immigration. Start mass deportations. Remigration is necessary.” Numerous pro-immigration counter rallies had planned their own community rallies at the park with a start time of noon.
Toronto Star — With immigration to Canada reduced, here are some of the big changes the Carney government may focus on
Despite efforts to reduce immigration, Ottawa is still far from its committed targets, with close to three million non-permanent residents still in the country, hovering at seven per cent of Canada’s population. That’s two percentage points above the level the Liberals would like to reach by the end of 2027. The Strong Borders Act, tabled in June, seeks the power to suspend, cancel or stop accepting and processing of immigration applications and documents such as visas and permits due to public interest. It would also increase surveillance capabilities and expand information sharing between government departments and with international partners. Other provisions would restrict access to asylum for people who have previously been in Canada.
Radio-Canada — Un BBQ pour favoriser la rétention d’étudiants internationaux à Moncton
La Ville de Moncton retente son expérience de séduction auprès des étudiants internationaux. Des centaines d’entre eux se sont rassemblés samedi pour un barbecue au parc du Centenaire à Moncton. Au rendez-vous : jeux, musique, hot-dogs et hamburgers. De quoi tisser des liens autour d’un repas. Ce qui rend ce barbecue unique c’est qu’il n’est pas organisé par un seul établissement d’enseignement, mais plutôt par la municipalité, qui souhaite favoriser la rétention de ces étudiants après leurs études.
