Asylum seekers on front lines of COVID-19 to have chance at permanent residency

Frantz Andre, a Haitian community organizer in Montreal who advocates on behalf of asylum seekers, said he had received calls from many people expressing relief that they now have a path to permanent status.Article content continued

That was echoed by Wilner Cayo, president of Debout pour la dignite, a Montreal group that has pushed for the federal government to grant permanent status to all asylum seekers working on the front lines. Quebec Premier Francois Legault said earlier this year that while he was grateful for the asylum seekers’ work, he was concerned that granting them fast-tracked residency status would encourage even more people to cross the border.

At the news conference in Montreal, Mendicino said the Quebec government was a positive force in putting together the agreement. Exactly how many people would benefit from the program is unclear. Some reports have suggested at least 1,000 people could qualify.

They should all be deported!

Many in Quebec. Thought so.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS take jobs from CANADIAN CITIZENS to gain CITIZENSHIP there.....fixed your headline NP......you're welcome

very funny here, illegal migrants could get legal resident status by doing few hours job

How do they work and pay taxes without valid work permission and SIN number? Something illegal is happening here

Trudeau, a globalist puppet/talking head, has made it known that the U.N has mandated that Canada is to have a population of 100 million by year 2030. All these asylum seekers will get citizenship and in a few years every member of their extended families will be on their way

Absolutely not!!!

I just do not trust the Liberals to stick to what they say. Watch closely if they think they can get more voters they will sneak others in using this. They lie and can not be trusted.

How did they get employment without a SIN number? How much tax do they pay? TomTSEC

No sh**, they all vote liberal with nearly 100% certainty and trudeau needs the votes.

It’s a slap in the face to all of those who follow the rules
