CCC Community Collaboration Paper

475 Words2 Pages

The CCC community felt motivated to respond in Christian charity to the conditions represented by recent events in Syria, and to make plans for entering into a sponsorship of a Syrian refugee family. At the time of our last PC meeting, two Cathedral initiatives were involved with early stages of sponsorship planning, one through the Cathedral Justice Group, and the other, Vancouver Acts. At that time, PC appraised plans for entering into a refugee sponsorship, and created a sub-committee to work alongside these two efforts, to allow communication, and to offer support and assistance.
The Refugee Sub-Committee organized to meet its purpose over the last month. Today, PC is invited to review its actions, and assess current recommended strategies for co-sponsoring a Syrian refugee family.
In an effort to provide high quality support to our refugees throughout the immigration and integration process, we decided it best to form partnerships that would allow for shared responsibilities, in terms of our financial obligations, our volunteer resource base, and our planning efforts. With this in mind, the Cathedral Justice Group agreed to amalgamate their efforts with Vancouver Acts (VA), and allow VA to function as a co-sponsor within CCC. …show more content…

Peter Elliott provided PC with information on the legal aspect of the Cathedral’s refugee planning. This package included a letter from tax and trust lawyers, addressing our questions around whether or not Canada Revenue Agency would recognize gifts received for the sponsorship as charitable, tax-exempt donations. It also included a copy of a memorandum created by Amy Francis and Jennifer Choi, defining in draft the responsibilities and obligation that are required of the groups (the SAH and the constituent

    The magic of symbols is that their meaning of something depends on how people interpret, use it or respond to it (Stone, 2012). The Government can use narrative stories in this particular instance and play the hero in their story as they place themselves on a pedestal for ‘saving the asylum-seekers from harm’, although the mistreatment of the asylum-seekers in the immigration centres are not much better than the country they were fleeing (Silove, Austin & Steel,

More specifically, it is the policy of family division that is formed in Regulation 117(9)(d), Excluded Family Members that define the legal codes of policy action in Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). In this policy, the immigrant that initially applies for immigrant status in Canada must have their

They are also trying to ensure that Australia’s refugee status determination system is fair and is strong. An international inter-governmental body that is prominent is the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

  • Mandatory Closed Immigration Detention Analysis

    176 Words  | 1 Pages

    There are currently 800 children being held in mandatory closed immigration detention, as Australia is the only country in the world which detains asylum-seeking children as a first option (Triggs, 2014). Australia’s system of mandatory immigration detention was introduced to the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) in 1992, and requires all non-citizen children who arrive without a valid visa to be detained (Triggs, 2014). Although the introduction of these requirements into the Migration Act were enforced to ensure the effective control and management of Australia’s borders (Phillips & Spinks, 2013), the mandatory and prolonged immigration detention of children is in clear violation of Article 3(1), Article 24(1) and Article 37(b) of the Convention

    Australia is the only country to have a system of mandatory detention where every single parent, man, woman, child who arrives here without a valid visa or illegal visa must undergo immigration detention immediately. The issue with the refugee treatment and mandatory detention in Australia is that their minds are so vulnerable and stressed after leaving their country. Detention can harm asylum seekers and refugees because they are indefinite meaning the government can detain people for the course of their life which has severe effects on a person’s emotions and wellbeing. Studies have shown that refugees who have come from a warfare filled country have and increased chance to undergo depression, self-harm and even attempt suicide when under a type of imprisonment such as immigration detention.

  • Australia Persuasive Speech On Asylum Seekers

    739 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Australia, refugees and asylum seekers are treated like the enemy in a war: the target of a highly resourced, military-led “deterrence” strategy complete with arbitrary detainment, detention camps, guards to terrorise them, forced deportations and the violent suppression of those who protest. Australia is failing to meet the standards required when regarding the treatment of asylum seekers. It is fact that asylum seekers make up less than 3% of Australia’s annual immigration yet the idea is being distorted to that of which they will overpopulate a country that prides itself on being a multicultural society. I want to shed light on the misconception that asylum seekers are not ‘legal’ when in actual fact it is a human right to seek freedom.

    The more powerless and vulnerable the individual, the more significant their ethical claim. Since each person, paying little respect to one's lawful status or geographic area, has a transcendent dignity that must dependably be regarded, individuals progressing ought to appreciate the full scope of human rights, and others have an obligation to see that they are regarded, secured and satisfied. "Refugees and asylum seekers are humans, and should enjoy the whole range of human rights. Unless there are compelling reasons to believe that refugees or asylum seekers represent a serious danger to the common good, they should not be interned. Furthermore they should have access to work and thus the opportunity to fulfil their duty to contribute to the common good” (Australians Human Rights Commission, 2014).

    These are all things that people in refugee camps around the world could only dream of. Unfortunately we cannot help all of the refugees in the world, but if we can help just a few it will make a difference. We can help out by providing funds to organisations like the UN and also by raising awareness for the refugees. We can also educate our children about the conditions that the refugees have to live in and how they can raise awareness and support for the cause. These are all viable ways to raise awareness for the refugees, but that does not guarantee that they will be helped.
