9. What are the barriers faced by women in accessing justice and services?
Canada is the dream destination for many immigrants. Federal government reported, the number of immigrants entering Canada in 2012 were over 250,000 being one of the highest proportion of foreign-born population in any country. Immigrants who enter Canada generally have no understanding or knowledge of the family justice system and face some serious hindrances in gaining access and learning the system, and arguably, the single group of immigrants that face the greatest barriers are immigrant women who are victims of domestic violence.

  • Summary Of Canada's Immigration System Is No Kinder

    1357 Words  | 6 Pages

    For migrants, family reunification and spousal sponsorship is fundamental to successfully building this legacy; unification of grandparents, spouses, and children are both important emotional and financial support, but also important pieces of a migrant’s culture and heritage. As such, family unification supports multiculturalism and is “a strategy for migrant integration, rather than isolation” (Reitz, 2012). In his article “Canada’s Immigration System Is No Kinder than America’s”, Khan argues the mounting financial and systemic barriers to family reunification is grounded in the increased immigration opportunity via the Temporary Foreign Worker program and subsequent reduction of Family or Economic (high skilled work) opportunities, as TFW programs do not permit spousal sponsorship or family reunification in Canada. “[Spousal reunification] only accounted for 28 per cent of migrants” in the 2017 year (Khan, 2017), and this is not just a benign consequence of the TFW program; Canada has implemented a series of bureaucratic hurdles such as the Case Processing Center, the Case Intake Office, and Case Processing Pilot whose primary purpose is to review, exclude and discourage family sponsorship and reunification in the Economic and Refugee classes (Satzewich, 2014). In his article “The Distinctiveness of Canadian Immigration Experience”

The book Dangerous Exits: Escaping abusive relationships in rural America, gives insight to the hushed topic of intimate partner violence and specifically women experiencing violence from attempting to leave their partner. Women are constantly advised to end relationships that turn violent, but this act could potentially put them at greater risk for further victimization.
