Reconnaissance Au Canada Du Statut de Réfugié by W. Gunther Plaut Pdf
This Report, published in both English and French, analyses the existing refugee determination process in Canada and proposes three models for a new determination process so that Canada may more effectively fulfil its moral and legal obligations. As the 1951 UN Refugee Convention specifies no procedure for determining refugee status, Canada and other states parties to the Convention have developed their own internal procedure to meet their obligations. The Canadian Immigration Act of 1976 gives legislative force to the major provisions of the Convention. Sweeping changes, however, are required in Canadian legislation which concerns refugee determination. With regard to the refugee definition, Canadian legislation does not include any of the exclusion and cessation clauses in the Convention. The author recommends that all such clauses in the Convention be incorporated into Canadian law. The Report lists six major problems with the refugee determination process in Canada. The process is unduly long; there are no oral hearings by decision-makers; interpreters are of poor quality; access to the process is too restricted; there are inadequate sources of information available for decision-makers to evaluate the existence of a 'well-founded fear'; and there is a misuse of human resources. The author submits proposals to rectify these deficiencies. He introduces and evaluates three cost-efficient models for a new determination process. Each of the models provides for: a refugee officer to be the claimant's liaison with both the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission and the determination process; an independent refugee board to make the initial decision after an oral hearing; and appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal. The author suggests that Canada expand employment eligibility for refugees and implement a policy of immediate family reunification for all recognized refugees. He also recommends that claimants receive welfare assistance and legal aid and be guaranteed the right to have counsel present at all examinations conducted before the inquiry. The Report notes that the number of refugees Canada is asked to admit is small compared to the vastness of its land and resources.

Finding Refuge in Canada by George Melnyk,Christina Parker Pdf
Millions of people are displaced each year by war, persecution, and famine and the global refugee population continues to grow. Canada has often been regarded as a benevolent country, welcoming refugees from around the globe. However, refugees have encountered varying kinds of reception in Canada. Finding Refuge in Canada: Narratives of Dislocation is a collection of personal narratives about the refugee experience in Canada. It includes critical perspectives from authors from diverse backgrounds, including refugees, advocates, front-line workers, private sponsors, and civil servants. The narratives collected here confront dominant public discourse about refugee identities and histories and provide deep insight into the social, political, and cultural challenges and opportunities that refugees experience in Canada. Contributors consider Canada’s response to various groups of refugees and how Canadian perspectives on war, conflict, and peace are constructed through the refugee support experience. These individual stories humanize the global refugee crisis and challenge readers to reflect on the transformative potential of more equitable policies and processes. Contributions by Howard Adelman, Irene Boisier Policzer, Shelley Campagnola, Matida Daffeh, Eusebio Garcia, Julia Holland, Bill Janzen, Katharine Lake Berz, Michael Molloy, Adam Policzer, Pablo Policzer, Victor Porter, Boban Stojanović, Cyrus Sundar Singh, and Flora Terah
