Immigrants to Canada face leaving home and language for a new life in a prairie city. Ljubica Zuna and her family arrived in Medicine Hat from Croatia five and a half years ago with little money or English but found happiness and hope in a distant land.
Saamis Immigration in Medicine Hat receives federal and provincial support to aid about 70 government sponsored refugees and a similar number of landed immigrants yearly. The article follows Yugoslav Croatians Ljubica and Ivica as they adapt, learn English, gain citizenship in 2001, and settle with their family seeking safety, community, and stability in a smaller Canadian city. It notes diverse newcomers from Iraq Iran Afghanistan Sudan and South America and cites Sept 11 as shaping attitudes while highlighting the agency work and residents' welcoming environment.
The article reports on scrutiny of Canada’s immigration system, with Medicine Hat MP Monte Solberg citing flaws in expulsion and enforcement, and Gale defending the process as screening improves. It notes demographic aging, regional youth in Alberta, and calls for immigration to sustain economic growth. Immigrants in Medicine Hat stress individuality and resilience, while officials urge steady, not extreme, policy shifts. See Monday’s News for Brooks challenges.
