undocumented immigrants: Catherine McKenney plans to present a motion next week aimed at ensuring undocumented immigrants have access to City of Ottawa services without fear of being detained or deported, according to CBC. Understanding Hamilton's pledge to serve undocumented immigrants Vancouver approves 'Access Without Fear' policy for undocumented immigrants'You are welcome here,' Toronto councillors tell immigrants in wake of U.S. ban When things around the world are so tenuous and people are nervous about traveling around, I think it's important we take care of each other, McKenney said. Somerset ward Coun. McKenney believes the recent travel ban in the U.S. has many Canadians worried about the safety and welfare of undocumented immigrants, who often live in very precarious situations. Aditya Rao, who is involved with the Ottawa Sanctuary City Network, said McKenney's motion is both timely and necessary. We want to make sure that if somebody who's in the city, who perhaps doesn't have documentation, is a refugee, has let their work visa expire ... that they're able to access city services.
