The Prime Minister of Barbados remember the contribution of Cuban doctors during the pandemic. So many Caribbean countries and south and central Americans are turning their back against Cuba because America pressuring them to do so.. Cuban doctors saves millions of lives over the past 50 years. Stand in solidarity with the people of Cuba..

We are talking about 130 post-grad students, already admitted and granted funding across 26 Canadian universities.

The Minister of Immigration @LenaMetlegeDiab shows no leadership and no compassion when she tells students in Gaza, living through genocide, to simply apply like everyone else.

What world do you live in?

Her refusal to grant Palestinian students the same biometrics exemption Canada offered to Ukraine and Afghanistan is a profound moral failure.

@MarkJCarney , do you agree with this?

Her exit from cabinet cannot come soon enough. Our government has no room for this level of incompetence. #cdnpoli

GBV workers help survivors rebuild their lives, but their sector is chronically underfunded and undervalued.

It’s time for a real workforce strategy that protects and supports the people doing this life-saving work. #16Days #RiseUp #EndGBV

Bill C-12 should be rescinded. It reinforces discriminatory practices. Carney's Bill C-12 brings back a dark chapter in Canada’s immigration policy https://t.co/xEPLVw2zBZ via @torontostar

Ford's Bill 60 is expected to pass on Monday.

It will allow corporate landlords to evict tenants without compensation.

100 organizations argue it will add to the 80,000 homeless Ontarians by stripping away core tenant protections at a time of rising living costs.

Hiring an immigration representative to help with your Canadian visa application?

Watch out for Unauthorized Practitioners (UAPs). A UAP is anyone who provides Canadian immigration advice for a fee or other consideration without being licensed by the College, a Canadian law society, or the Chambre des notaires du Québec. Doing this is illegal.

Protect yourself from immigration fraud. Verify that your representative is licensed: https://t.co/KI6gtxrqSc

Canada has taken an important step toward modernizing its citizenship laws. Bill C-3 has received royal assent, ensuring Canadians affected by outdated rules have a fair way to pass citizenship on to their children born or adopted abroad.

The bill will come into effect at a later date, which will be shared publicly. Until then, the temporary measure remains in place for people affected by the first-generation limit. Learn more: https://t.co/EIlQdyCpDG
