Quebec Guardian Angels working in hospitals during COVID-19, now facing deportation.
Mar 20, 2025

Quebec’s ‘Guardian Angels’ Face Deportation Despite Helping During COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many asylum seekers in Quebec stepped up to help in hospitals, seniors’ homes, and other healthcare facilities. They worked long hours, risking their health and safety to protect others. But despite their dedication, many of them are now facing deportation because they do not qualify for Canada’s immigration programs. Who Are the ‘Guardian Angels’? The term “Guardian Angels” was given to frontline healthcare workers during the pandemic. This included doctors, nurses, orderlies, and even security guards who helped keep hospitals and healthcare centers safe. One such worker is Idriss Moussa Souni, a 29-year-old security guard who worked at the Institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec. He didn’t just guard the hospital; he helped disinfect rooms, assisted nurses, and even moved bodies of those who passed away due to COVID-19. But now, he faces deportation because his job title does not fit the requirements for permanent residency. Why Are They Being Deported? In 2020, the Canadian government introduced a temporary program to grant permanent residency to asylum seekers who worked in healthcare during the pandemic. However, the eligibility rules were strict. To qualify, a worker had to: Because of these rules, many people like Souni were left out. Even though they played an essential role, they did not meet the official criteria. As a result, thousands of “Guardian Angels” have been denied permanent residency and are now at risk of deportation. The Impact on Their Lives For many, this situation is heartbreaking. Didier, another security worker who helped screen patients and assist nurses, is now undocumented and at risk of being forced to leave Canada. “We were told we did a remarkable job, but once the pandemic was over, we were thrown away like garbage,” he said. Organizations that support immigrants, like Welcome Collective and Maison d’Haïti, say they continue to see “unfair” cases where hardworking people are being deported simply because they don’t meet the technical requirements. The Long Wait for Those Who Qualify Even for those who do qualify, the process of getting permanent residency is slow. As of now, 380 people are still waiting for their applications to be processed. Some have been waiting for years. The government says this is due to “complex applications” and a lack of resources, but for the people waiting, it feels like an “obstacle course.” Q1: Who qualifies for permanent residency under the ‘Guardian Angels’ program?A: Only asylum seekers who worked in healthcare and provided direct patient care (such as nurses and orderlies) during COVID-19. Q2: Why weren’t security guards and cleaning staff included?A: The government only considered those who had direct contact with patients. Many essential workers, like security guards and cleaning staff, were left out despite their efforts. Q3: Can those who were rejected appeal their case?A: Unfortunately, many cannot appeal. Their only option is to reapply through a different immigration program or leave the country. Q4: How many people have been granted permanent residency?A: Out of 13,230 applications, around 9,205 have been approved, including 3,601 in Quebec. Q5: How many people are still waiting for an answer?A: About 380 people, including 225 in Quebec, are still waiting for their permanent residency. Q6: What can be done to help?A: Immigration advocacy groups are calling for the government to expand the program to include all frontline workers who contributed during the pandemic. Final Thoughts These “Guardian Angels” stepped up during a crisis when Canada needed them most. Now, many of them are being asked to leave. This situation raises important questions about fairness, recognition, and how Canada treats those who risked their lives to help others. The fight continues for these workers, as immigration advocates and legal experts push for more inclusive policies. In the meantime, thousands of people like Souni and Didier continue to live in fear of deportation, uncertain of what their future holds.

Canadian snowbirds in an RV park enjoying warm weather in Florida
Mar 20, 2025

Fewer Canadian Snowbirds in the U.S. Could Impact Economy but Ease Campground Crowding

What’s Happening? Starting April 11, a new U.S. rule will require Canadian snowbirds (retirees who spend winter in the U.S.) to register with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) before entering. This change could affect thousands of Canadians who escape the harsh winter by heading to warmer U.S. states like Florida and Arizona. Why Does This Matter? What Is the New Rule? How Will It Affect Canadian Snowbirds? What About RV Travelers? 1. What is a Canadian snowbird?A Canadian snowbird is someone (usually retired) who spends the winter months in the U.S. to escape the cold. 2. What does the new U.S. rule mean?It means that Canadians staying in the U.S. for more than 30 days need to register with USCIS before arrival. 3. When does this rule start?It starts on April 11, 2025. 4. What happens if someone doesn’t register?They may face legal issues, fines, or even restrictions on future U.S. visits. 5. How does this impact Florida and Arizona?Since most snowbirds go to these states, local businesses, hotels, and restaurants could lose billions in revenue. 6. Will this make it easier to book RV parks?Yes, if fewer Canadians visit, there will be more available spots in campgrounds. 7. Are there other options for Canadian snowbirds?Many may start going to Mexico, the Caribbean, or other warm destinations instead of the U.S. Final ThoughtsThis new rule could change the way Canadian retirees spend their winters. While the U.S. economy may take a hit, American travelers might find it easier to book campgrounds. If you’re a Canadian snowbird, it’s important to stay updated on travel requirements and explore alternative options if needed.

Canadians Facing Tougher Rules When Entering the U.S.

A recent case of a Canadian woman being detained in the United States is a warning that entering the U.S. is not as easy as it used to be. Immigration lawyers say stricter border rules mean Canadians must be extra cautious when traveling for work or other reasons. What Happened to Jasmine Mooney? Why Are Canadians Facing More Trouble at the U.S. Border? What Can Canadians Do to Avoid Problems at the U.S. Border? 1. Can I still apply for a TN visa at the border?Yes, but be prepared for stricter questioning. Officers now have more authority to deny entry or detain applicants. 2. What if I already have a valid U.S. work visa?Even if you have a visa, border agents can still deny entry if they find any issues with your documents or past travel history. 3. Can I be denied entry even if I have entered the U.S. before?Yes. Immigration rules are changing, and a visa approved last year may not be accepted today. 4. Should I avoid traveling to the U.S. right now?If you don’t have U.S. citizenship or a Green Card, be extra careful. Some immigration lawyers are advising non-citizens to avoid leaving the U.S. if they plan to return. 5. What should I do if my visa is denied at the border?Follow the officer’s instructions. If they say you need to apply at a consulate, do not try to enter another way, as this may lead to detention. Final Thoughts The U.S. is tightening immigration rules, and Canadians must be aware that crossing the border for work is not as easy as before. If you’re planning to visit or work in the U.S., be prepared, follow the rules, and consult an immigration expert if needed.

Canada’s Immigration Changes: What It Means for Temporary Workers and Students

The Canadian government has announced changes to its immigration policies, making it harder for temporary residents, including workers and students, to stay in the country. If you are a temporary resident or planning to move to Canada, here’s what you need to know in simple terms. Fewer Temporary Residents Allowed Tighter Rules for Temporary Foreign Workers Changes to Permanent Residency (PR) Targets Why is Canada Reducing Immigration? What Are the Challenges for Migrant Workers? What Support is Available for Temporary Workers? New Pathways for Skilled Workers 1. What happens if my work permit expires and I can’t find another job? If you don’t secure a new job within 90 days of your permit expiring, you may have to leave Canada. Some options include applying for a visitor visa or exploring PR programs. 2. Are international students affected by these changes? Yes, Canada is making it harder for international students to get study permits and work opportunities after graduation. 3.

What can I do to increase my chances of staying in Canada? Final Thoughts Canada’s new immigration policies make it tougher for temporary workers and students to stay.
