Radio-Canada — Tenue à bout de bras, la Clinique santé des réfugiés perdra d’autres employés en septembre

Déjà en sous-effectif, l’équipe de la Clinique santé des réfugiés de l’Hôpital Jeffery Hale craint perdre près de la moitié de son personnel administratif et de santé au cours des prochains mois. Cela s’ajoutera aux membres du personnel qui avaient déjà quitté en raison de la lourdeur de la tâche. « On a deux postes d’IPS qui sont non occupés qu’on n’est pas capable de recruter. Ça prouve que c’est des conditions difficiles », lance Élizabeth Parenteau, médecin de famille à la Clinique santé des réfugiés de l’Hôpital Jeffery Hale.

CBC News — Community groups push restorative justice for racialized Winnipeggers

Community groups in Winnipeg are pushing for a more restorative approach to policing and prosecuting racialized communities in Winnipeg. The « Community Solutions for Safety for Racialized Newcomer Youth in Winnipeg, » report, published this month by the Immigration Partnership Winnipeg, collected first-hand accounts from 76 youth between the ages of 13 and 35. Those issues are leading to the continued overrepresentation of racialized persons and groups in the criminal justice system, including immigrant and Indigenous communities, according to the report. The manual was released after a three-year, three-phase project that began in 2021, launched after several fatal police encounters in Manitoba.

Reuters — Harvard and University of Toronto make contingency plan for international students

Harvard University and the University of Toronto have unveiled a contingency plan that would allow select Harvard graduate students to continue their studies in Canada if U.S. visa restrictions prevent them from re-entering the United States. It is the first international student backup strategy announced since the U.S. Department of Homeland Security moved last month to strip Harvard of its ability to enroll international students. A federal judge has since blocked the government’s move.In response to potential U.S. visa challenges, students at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government who are unable to return to the United States will have the option to continue their studies through a visiting student program at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

CTV News — Federal minister plans to hold consultations this summer on immigration intake

The federal government will use this summer’s planned consultation on immigration targets to guide future decisions about how many study visas it will issue to international students in the future, Immigration Minister Lena Diab said. In a recent interview with University Affairs magazine, Diab said the annual immigration levels consultations will reach out to the provinces, university administrators and students themselves, as the government looks to ensure the visa system for students is “sustainable.” This summer’s annual immigration levels consultations come as multiple universities and colleges face budget constraints after Canada began clawing back on the number of student visas last year amid concerns the number had grown so quickly schools could not provide adequate supports, including housing.

Radio-Canada — Environ 400 demandeurs d’asile attendus au N.-B. dans les deux ans

Le gouvernement du Nouveau-Brunswick a accepté de recevoir 400 demandeurs d’asile dans les deux prochaines années. Selon une association d’aide à l’intégration, ils sont « prêts à travailler ». Leur arrivée se fait sous réserve de leur accord pour déménager dans la province. Leur nombre exact n’est pas définitif. À l’heure actuelle, la majeure partie de ces demandeurs d’asile sont hébergés à l’hôtel en Ontario, à Ottawa et à Niagara Falls où certains y vivent depuis un an. Pour la plupart, ils ont fui le Nigéria, d’autres viennent d’Haïti et quelques-uns viennent d’Amérique du Sud, explique Alison Frise, la directrice générale de l’Association multiculturelle du Grand Moncton (AMGM).
