Nigeria paramilitary recruitment lists and Canada's immigration law regarding LGBTQ+ refugees

The two articles cover unrelated immigration and border-related stories. Premium Times Nigeria reports that the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has released the names of successful applicants for paramilitary recruitment, including the Nigeria Immigration Service. The board advises applicants to check the official portal and warns against fraudulent payments. Global News reports on concerns from the LGBTQ+ advocacy group Rainbow Railroad about Canada's new border law (C-12), which imposes a one-year deadline for refugee claims; critics say this puts LGBTQ+ people at risk of being sent back to countries where they face persecution. A former international student from the Middle East shares his story of being deemed ineligible due to the new rule.
