Immigrants Hardest Hit By Recent Recession, Study Says

Immigrants, particularly recent newcomers, have borne the brunt of unemployment as a result of the recent recession, a new study says. The unemployment gap between immigrant and Canadian-born workers has grown since the global economic meltdown set off in late 2008 and newcomers in Greater Toronto were most affected, says the study being released Friday. It is part of a project by the Toronto Immigrant Employment Data Initiative, made up of researchers from York University, University of Toronto and Ryerson University who study immigrant integration in the labour force based on government data.

Kenney: Tamil Ship Was Believed Headed to Canada

Federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said a human smuggling ship intercepted Monday appeared to have been “destined for Canada” and reinforces the need to pass the Tory government’s anti-smuggling legislation. “We are not going to be a doormat for the dangerous crime of human smuggling,” Kenney told reporters at a news conference Tuesday in Calgary. Human smuggling is already a crime in this country, but there has been few successful prosecutions and the government says the act would strengthen Canada’s ability to prosecute such crimes and deter queue-jumping in the immigration system.

Advisory Panel Urges More Clarity Over Migrant Terminology

Roundtable members want Canadians to realize that not everybody who shows up “is necessarily illegal or a queue-jumper,” said Leo Adler, a member since the body’s inception six years ago.
