Japan suspends entry of non-resident foreigners

 The Japanese government has suspended entry of non-resident foreign nationals to Japan to prevent the transmission of coronavirus variants.

The measure is taking effect on Monday and will continue through January 31. A similar restriction is already in effect for travelers from the United Kingdom and South Africa.

The government also suspended a conditional exemption of a 14-day self-quarantine that had been applied to Japanese and foreign residents when they reentered Japan after a short overseas business trip.

All travelers returning to or entering Japan from parts of the world where coronavirus variants have been confirmed need to submit a negative test certificate. Such travelers need to take a test within 72 hours before departure and another upon arriving in Japan.

I knew I could do better, and I did. I wasn’t perfect, mind you, but damn near good enough. My daughter is striking. Olive skin, blue eyes, tall. Taller than I. Her lineage is indigenous Australian, but it’s a heritage that’s hard to pinpoint just by looking at her. She could be Greek, Italian, Spanish. While I celebrated her bloodline, she is ashamed and does not want to know her history. Australia is racist country and Aboriginal people are, unfortunately, not highly regarded. When she met her boyfriend, now fiancée, she gave me strict instructions to “not tell him what I am”. I often wonder whether that feeling of deep shame, an internalised reflection of how Australian society views her Aboriginality and hence her, has somehow...

How Canadian citizenship processes may change in the future

  IRCC released details of its report on the citizenship program between 2013 and 2018. A recent immigration department self-evaluation highlights areas where Canadian citizenship processes could be improved.

It was done as part of an accountability measure with the Treasury Board, which oversees the funding of federal departments, including IRCC. They found that out of the more than 2.8 million permanent re...
