Indigenous Peoples have been stewards of the lands and waters in Canada since time immemorial.

As we mark National Indigenous History Month, we recognise the rich and diverse histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. https://t.co/9U8fv5OD15

Beware of immigration agents who promise entry to Canada for the FIFA World Cup 2026™. No one can guarantee you a Canadian visa or an electronic travel authorization (eTA).

You’re responsible for all the information in your application, even if a representative completes it for you. Make sure all your documents are accurate, or you could risk a 5-year ban.

#Russia claims it relocated Ukrainian children for their safety, but evidence shows many of these transfers were forcible, lacked proper consent and violated international law.

#Russia claims it is "cooperating" to reunite Ukrainian families. Facts tell a different story: returns are rare and driven by Ukraine, international partners and civil society while Russia obstructs their work. #BringKidsBack

Russia says it’s rehoming Ukrainian “orphans.”

Also Russia:
–Transfers children without tracing families
–Withholds records needed to find them
–Labels them “orphans” to enable illegal adoptions

A child is not an orphan just because you erased their history.
