Ford walks back vow to have province issue asylum seekers work permits

July 28, 2025

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is retracting a vow he made last week to have his province issue its own work permits to asylum seekers in the face of what he said were federal government delays that have left refugee applicants in limbo.

“I don’t want to take the responsibility off the federal government,” Mr. Ford told reporters outside his office at Queen’s Park on Monday. “But in saying that, if you have a pulse and you’re healthy, you need to be working.”
