Canada wants 1 million more immigrants over next 3 years

11:25 / 11.01.2019 iNews Guyana, https://theworldnews.net/gy-ne...ts-over-next-3-years

https://i0.wp.com/www.inewsguyana.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/canada.jpg?resize=696%2C392&ssl=1Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

(ABC News) Canada, a nation of not quite 37 million people, wants to add more than 1 million immigrants through 2021.

“Thanks in great part to the newcomers we have welcomed throughout our history, Canada has developed into the strong and vibrant country we all enjoy,” Ahmed Hussen, minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, wrote in an annual report to Parliament. “Immigrants and their descendants have made immeasurable contributions to Canada, and our future success depends on continuing to ensure they are welcomed and well-integrated.”

Hussen, now in his early 40s, fled to Canada from war-torn Somalia when he was 16.

A year ago, Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America, said he didn’t want the U.S. accepting immigrants from Haiti or countries in Africa or similar “s—hole countries.”

Somalia is in Africa.

“My experience is not unique,” Hussen told The New York Times in 2017. “Canada receives a lot of refugees every year.”

For Canada to add 1 million immigrants over the next three years, the nation would need to welcome approximately 350,000 — roughly 1 percent of its current population — in each of 2019, 2020 and 2021.

“Canada is a world leader in managed migration with an immigration program based on non-discriminatory principles, where foreign nationals are assessed without regard to race, nationality, ethnic origin, colour, religion or gender,” Hussen wrote in his report.

About 1 in 5 current Canadians are immigrants, according to the report, with more than 6 million arriving since 1990.

About 13.7 percent of the U.S. population, roughly 1 in 7, in 2017 was foreign born, according to U.S. Census estimates. In 2016, that figure was 13.5 percent.

Pretty boy should ask Trump for permission to drive busses down to the Mexican border and empty the camps and caravans and take them to Canada.  They don’t need to wait 3 years, they will get their million in 3 months.

Once they cross the border and enters the country, Canada has always offered assistance to individuals. These actions/activities date way back in the days of slavery in the US_of_A and earlier.

Base, I am not in favor of all of them to come here. I witness many Scumbags throwing rocks at the Border Forces. I say they should NEVER be allowed!! If you want to get into another man's Country, go on your friggin knees and beg!!!!

Undocumented immigrants get help fleeing Trump's America to Canada

CHAMPLAIN, N.Y. – Omer Malik knew he had to slip into Canada to avoid President Donald Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants.

But the 19-year-old native of Afghanistan needed a friend to help guide him. He found that friend in a 66-year-old former French teacher, one of a number of people here in the Adirondack region who believe it’s their duty to comfort and support those fleeing Trump’s vision for America.

As Malik dragged his suitcase toward the Canadian border, Janet McFetridge gave him two bags of potato chips, a knit hat and – what she considers her most important gift – a hug. Then she yelled across the thicket of cattails and flowering grasses that separated them from Quebec.

“Hello,” she called, alerting a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer that Malik was about to illegally cross the border to claim asylum. “We got someone here.”

McFetridge is part of a loosely assembled network of progressive activists, faith leaders and taxi drivers who have mobilized to help undocumented immigrants cross the northern border. To some, they’re selfless do-gooders ushering people to better lives. To others, they’re perpetuating a problem that has debilitated Canada’s immigration system.

For centuries, residents note, towns in the Champlain Valley have been a path to security, serving as an escape route for people fleeing slavery, the Vietnam War draft and Central American wars. Now, when it comes to immigration, this GOP-friendly part of New York has become a hub of the resistance.

“We view this as our Underground Railroad,” said Carole Slatkin, an advocate who has helped immigrants traveling through Essex, New York, a town that was part of a major route for enslaved people. “While no one is being flogged, and no one is being sold, there is this sort of modern-day equivalent of feeling like people are in danger.”

Advocates say they try not to give direct advice to the immigrants, instead helping them find a place to rest or supplies to ease their journey. But the image of U.S. citizens supporting immigrants who make the trip is controversial in Canada, threatening long-standing, cross-border camaraderie.

At the end of Roxham Road in Champlain, Fiyori Mesfin, 32, crosses into Canada with her 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter, both U.S. citizens. She had been living in Las Vegas for four years but was denied asylum status. (Andre Malerba/The Washington Post)

“To me, it’s just being abusive,” said Paul Viau, mayor of the township of Hemmingford, a Canadian farming community along the border. “There are people who sympathize with [the immigrants] and people who have a harder time with it. But no one appreciates that someone would pack them up and bring them to the border at an illegal crossing.”

Last year, as the Trump administration began enacting stricter policies against undocumented immigrants, Canada processed more than 50,000 asylum claims. That is more than double the claims made in 2016, according to Canadian government statistics.

Many of those immigrants have been crossing at unauthorized locations, such as here on Roxham Road.

Although the flow of asylum seekers into many Canadian provinces has slowed this year, there has been no let-up into Quebec. From January through June, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police apprehended 10,261 people crossing the border illegally there. Last year, the police apprehended 18,836 people.

The arrivals have sparked a backlash from segments of Canada’s political system. In late June, Toronto Mayor John Tory warned that the influx of asylum seekers had overwhelmed that city’s ability to care for them.

“We have a problem, and we need help,” Tory told Canadian reporters in a plea for more emergency housing.

Asylum seekers enter a shelter on the Canadian side of Roxham Road, which starts near Champlain, N.Y. The outpost was built to help process the recent surge of refugees and asylum seekers, which can total about 50 people a day. (Andre Malerba/The Washington Post)

In Quebec, the leader of its nationalist party, Jean-François Lisée, has suggested constructing a wall along the southern border of the province.

Roxham Road, a narrow paved road lined by horse farms and marshes, has served as a path recently for Palestinians, Colombians, Ghanaians, Nigerians, Haitians, Zimbabweans and Pakistanis, among others.

After one taxi pulled up here, Fiyori Mesfin struggled to carry a car seat, stroller and two backpacks as she crossed the border with her two children, ages 1 and 3.

Mesfin, 32, is a single mother from Eritrea who had been living for the past four years in Las Vegas. Her children are U.S. citizens.

After she was recently denied asylum in the United States, Mesfin began to fear she could be deported or even separated from her children. So she flew to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York and then boarded a Greyhound bus for Plattsburgh, New York.

“So now I am here just hoping it gets better,” Mesfin said as she pushed the stroller, while trying to manage her toddler, toward Canada.

Saman Modarage also had taken the bus.

Modarage is a Sri Lankan native who fled his country in 2005 during a civil war. He had settled in suburban Washington and worked at a liquor store in Maryland.

Saman Modarage, 51, a native Sri Lankan who has lived in Oxon Hill, Md., since 2005, decided to seek asylum in Canada after ICE agents raided a 7-Eleven near the convenience store he owned. (Andre Malerba/The Washington Post)

But Modarage, 51, decided to try to flee Maryland for Canada after he heard that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was raiding and auditing Maryland convenience stores searching for undocumented employees.

In a recent statement, ICE noted that it has opened nearly 6,100 worksite investigations and made more than 1,500 arrests from October through July – more than five times the number of arrests made in the previous fiscal year.

“Donald Trump’s administration has pushed me here,” said Modarage, who arrived in Plattsburgh with two sets of clothing and $300. “All immigrants are under threat. . . . If I got deported, it would kill me.”

The flow of people illegally crossing into Canada from the United States has continued despite an agreement in 2002 between the countries that is designed to manage refugee movements.

The Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement requires migrants to make an asylum claim in the first safe country they reach, unless they are minors or have family ties at their next destination. The agreement means many of those who try to cross from the United States into Canada at an official border station are turned away.

But a loophole permits asylum claims to be made by individuals who enter Canada covertly, such as here on Roxham Road, about five miles west of the interstate. Crossing illegally at out-of-the-way sites has become the preferred method for undocumented immigrants in the United States as well as those in the country legally who see their chance of getting asylum or permanent residency dimming.

Many take a bus from New York City to Plattsburgh, where waiting taxis transport them about 30 miles to the end of Roxham Road, a 100-yard dirt path into Canada.

Janet McFetridge has been collecting items discarded by asylum seekers crossing illegally into Canada. She has found small toys, an iPhone X, bus tickets, credit cards and driver’s licenses. (Andre Malerba/The Washington Post)

Federal officers stationed on the other side of the border immediately arrest those who cross illegally. But if the crossers have proper identification, no criminal history and are not otherwise considered a security threat, most are released within 72 hours, said Sylvain Thibault, a coordinator at Project Refugee, a Montreal-based humanitarian group.

They then stay in a shelter, or with family or friends, while they await their hearing. They are also eligible for public assistance, health care and an opportunity to apply for a Canadian work permit.

Canadian law dictates asylum hearings should be held within 60 days.

But Paul Clarke, executive director of the Action Refugees Montreal, an advocacy group, said the government is so overwhelmed, it’s now taking up to two years for cases to be heard.

Last year, Canadian courts granted asylum in about 60 percent of cases, Clarke said. Canadian authorities have warned that far fewer of the most recent arrivals are expected to qualify.

McFetridge, the teacher turned activist, has lived in Champlain about five miles from the border for three decades. But she never paid much attention to it until after Trump’s election, when she was looking for ways to convert her agony over his win into meaningful action.

In March 2017, when she began hearing about an influx of immigrants into Canada, she decided to drive up to Roxham Road. The sight of people dragging luggage – and children – down “an isolated, lonely, country road” shook her.

The beginning of Roxham Road, in Champlain, N.Y., where it intersects with the famous North Star Road — said to have been a guiding light to slaves on the run nearly two centuries ago. (Andre Malerba/The Washington Post)

“I was just horrified that people were leaving the United States, where we have this idea of being a beacon of hope, for another country,” she recalled. “At that point, I said, we can do something here, and I can at least give them a kind word, and recognize them as people by saying, ‘I am sorry you feel you have to do this.’ ”

McFetridge began showing up almost daily.

Last winter, after realizing many asylum seekers were arriving without warm clothes, she began handing out coats and gloves.

As the weather warmed, she transitioned her efforts to handing out snacks and toys to the children. McFetridge said she tries to avoid giving direct advice or material support to the refugees to avoid conflict with Canadian immigration authorities. But, she said, it’s important for her to be there so people know they are not alone and can cross with a sense of safety.

“I can tell them they are not going to be shot,” she said. “They’ve asked me: ‘Do I have to run? Are the police going to shoot me?’”

Undocumented immigrants get help fleeing Trump's America to Canada

McFetridge, who said she encounters dozens of asylum seekers on some days, keeps a log of those she encounters.

“. . . Woman arrived by plane. 25 years in the US. Leaving son behind, degree in finance . . . Father stayed in taxi, sobbing as family left . . . Young adult – said she was bisexual & would be killed if returned to home country . . .”

Ready-made beds are seen in a small basement classroom of the First Presbyterian Church in Plattsburgh, N.Y. The room is kept ready and available to asylum seekers who might need a place to stay before crossing the border. (Andre Malerba/The Washington Post)

Although McFetridge is the most visible advocate, a broad array of community and faith organizations have also mobilized throughout the Champlain Valley to assist people who pass through.

One organization that was formed to support refugees, Plattsburgh Cares, prints informational pamphlets about how to safely reach Roxham Road. Amid complaints from Canadian officials, the group stopped distributing the pamphlets this spring. It now relies on “word of mouth” to get information out, said Slatkin, 73, the woman in Essex.

As they continue their efforts, the advocates draw comparisons to the stealth network of abolitionists used to help guide people who escaped to Canada in the 19th century.

Of the estimated 100,000 enslaved people who fled the American South between 1810 and 1850, about 40,000 made it to Canada after being hidden in houses and churches along the way, said Don Papson, president of the North Country Underground Railroad Museum in Keeseville, New York.

One of the major routes there ran through Champlain, about two blocks from McFetridge’s house, he noted. Today, before asylum seekers arrive on Roxham Road, they must travel down North Star Road, believed to be named after the star that people who escaped slavery used to guide them toward freedom.

Martha Swan, executive director of John Brown Lives, a humanitarian group based in Westport, New York, and named after the 19th-century abolitionist, said the region’s “inspiring history” is what is causing more people to “summon the courage” to support refugees. She said interest in helping the refugees has grown considerably this summer because of outrage over Trump administration’s policy of separating detained undocumented immigrants from their children at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“You don’t have to do anything extraordinary, necessarily, but you do have to bear witness and help where you can,” said Swann, who recently helped a Nigerian woman make the trip from Los Angeles to the northern border.

At the First Presbyterian Church in Plattsburgh, the congregation decided to convert a Sunday school room into a temporary shelter for use by asylum seekers who may become stranded.

Stuart Voss, chairman of the church’s refugee committee, said the church is reviving a role it played in the late 1980s when thousands of migrants from Central America traveled through upstate New York to reach Canada.

Many spent an extended period of time in Plattsburgh – where they were fed, counseled and housed by local churches – while they waited for Canada to consider their asylum requests.

But Voss, 75, said church members now believe they must be far more discreet in their efforts than they were 30 years ago.

“We decided it wasn’t the same situation as in 1986 to 1987 because there was no ICE back then, and it was just Border Patrol,” said Voss, referring to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which was created in 2003 in wake of 9/11. “Customs used to tell us, ‘OK, as long as they are staying with you, you can help them out.’ ”

Saman Modarage, 51, a native Sri Lankan who has lived in Oxon Hill, Md., since 2005, decided to seek asylum in Canada after ICE agents raided a 7-Eleven near the convenience store he owned. (Andre Malerba/The Washington Post)

In a statement, the Canadian police declined to comment on Americans’ role in helping the refugees but said it added resources to the border and is confident it can meet the security and humanitarian challenge.

In a separate statement, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it is “working to identify trends and patterns” of cross-border movement into Canada.

Here along the border, the taxi drivers say they will continue transporting asylum seekers to the border.

Although the drivers say they got into the business to make money – they charge $50 to $75 in fares for a one-way trip from the bus station – they say they now see it as their duty to give advice and to comfort and calm passengers.

“They are scared. . . . They will ask me if American Border Patrol is going to be here, and how far they have to walk,” driver Troy Gelwicks said after he recently dropped a Haitian family off at Roxham Road. “I say, ‘You just have to walk 10 steps, and Canadian Border Patrol is very friendly.’ ”

As she waved goodbye to Malik, McFetridge said she is also banking that Canada’s government will continue to be more sympathetic than the Trump administration.

“But you have to be realistic,” McFetridge added. “It’s not going to work out for everybody.”

I hope they are willing to work and educate themselves to move Canada forward. No point having immigrants if they refuse to speak French or English. Just being here without efforts is USING the resources of those who work to enable the country to function.

Chinese loans to Canada fetch a heavy price into the future.

Won't worry about it for now. Trudeau will loose the elections, too many damn foreigners by his side. Is like Canada doan have white educated ppl.

Numerous individuals, with specific reference to the slaves from the US_of_A, were hidden and brought into Canada and transported to Alberta and were safely protected in towns and villages in the northers parts.

Their descendants over time became established and numerous were/are in prominent positions in the private and public sectors.

yes this Justin is an idiot. He ran his mouth spouting this nonsense and when the Haitians arrived he locked them up in a sports stadium and most of them will eventually be deported.

The irony is that Trump wants the USA to adopt Canada's immigration policy. Canada invites loads of refugees but you cannot just land there and say you want to stay. People languish for years in refugee centers while Canada takes its sweet time picking which ones they want.  No goat herders from Yemen, Somalia or South Sudan.  They want the people who will quickly become self reliant after a few months of support.

To become a LEGAL immigrant to the USA one needs merely to fit into certain family categories and be sponsored, and to demonstrate a lack of a criminal record and a potential to not be a burden to the state. The sponsors have to sign an affidavit indicating that should this immigrant become a charge to the state within 10 years, or before they become naturalized, that they will reimburse the state.

To be selected as a legal immigrant one not only needs to have family members but to pass a point system where preference is accorded to those fluent in English or French and to have the type of skills that Canada wants.

If a goat herder has a mother who can show that they can support them and they lack a criminal record they most likely will migrate to the USA.

If the same person tries Canada likely they will be rejected for not having enough points.

Trudeau needs to mind his own business and stop ranting about what he doesn't know about. Canada is NOT more immigrant friendly than is the USA.

There are fewer than 200k illegals in Canada whereas in the USA there are 10 million, many quite successful owning homes and businesses.  So who is more hostile?

Many Haitians who were OK in the USA, ran over to Canada to flee Trump, and are now back in the baking sun in Haiti.  In fact 90% of thise who made asylum claims were rejected.

They weren't refugees and they weren't the type of immigrants who Canada wanted.  Canada has a very comprehensive social support system backed by high taxes and they don't want it to collapse with "fraudulent" claims by those seeking asylum, or by potential immigrants who cannot contribute in a big way to Canada.

I lean Democrat now. However, I don't think the refugees at the border can just break US laws as they seem intent to do.

First of all if escaping spousal abuses or gang violence was enough to claim asylum tens of thousands of Americans would be able to become refugees and flee to Canada. Cities like Baltimore and St. Louis rank among some of the most dangerous in the Americas.

Yes I agree with those who have valid claims but being accepted as a refugee is NOT a right. Its a concession and the recipient country also has a right to refuse to accept.

Most of these Central Americans are pretending to claim asylum because human traffickers tell them that this is the easiest way to be allowed into the USA.  They are also told that their chances improve if they bring young kids so we have 2 Guatemalans who died after being forced to walk hundreds of miles across Mexico under horrendous conditions, so entered the USA compromised.

Yes Honduras is a very poor country and that nation plus Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua make Guyanese look like rich people.  But poverty isn't a valid claim to be granted asylum.  They just have to go through the process of legal immigration just like the rest of the planet.  Guyanese would also love to migrate to the USA, but cannot walk there and claim to be refugees.

People are doing a disservice to those people by encouraging them to attempt to enter the USA and claim asylum. 90% will be denied and will be forced to return to their homelands, and this after paying criminals thousands of dollars to traffic them but having no means to repay them.

My friend from Ivory Coast who lives in Quebec was very upset with those Haitians who came as refugees to Quebec.  He said that the French people in Quebec were very angry when they saw all these black people sleeping in tents all over Quebec.  Then they started taking out their anger on all African people in Quebec because they cannot distinguish between an African and a Haitian.

Really, isn’t that what Trump has been saying.  Not just because you can form a caravan and march to the USA border gives you more rights over the average person in Asia, Africa or even deeper in South America.  

Its exactly the same but you cuss at Trump what you justify your govt doing.  Take your pick!
