Asylum Seekers: Housing Facilities and Triage System

asylum seekers: Ottawa announced the so-called triage system in April following concerns raised by the province of Quebec over an influx of asylum seekers flooding temporary housing facilities in Montreal, according to Toronto Star. Ryan Remiorz / THE CANADIAN PRESS file photo Ottawa announced the so-called triage system in April following concerns raised by the province of Quebec over an influx of asylum seekers flooding temporary housing facilities in Montreal. The federal government says it's working with individual municipalities across Ontario and must identify available housing capacity before it can roll out its triage program. Since then, Toronto has also seen a spike in refugee hopefuls converging on its homeless shelters and college dormitories. Ottawa's response was the promised triage system, which would identify asylum seekers interested in settling in areas outside Montreal or Toronto to await the outcome of their refugee claims. Both Quebec and Toronto have called on the feds for help. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
