The International Human Rights Program of the University of Toronto has just released a new report on the detention of children in Canada, urging alternatives to detaining children and family separation.
The 57-page report, “Invisible Citizens: Canadian Children in Immigration Detention”, is a follow-up to the IHRP’s September 2016 report on non-Canadian children in immigration detention, “No Life for a Child: A Roadmap to End Immigration Detention of Children and Family Separation”. The new report reiterates that families in detention should be released outright or given access to community-based alternatives to detention, such as reporting obligations, financial deposits and guarantors.
