Toronto man poised to become 1st Canadian cured of HIV

CBC News has the story.

A 62-year-old man is poised to become the first person in Canada to be cured of HIV.

Only 10 patients worldwide are considered cured after following similar procedures. The case was led by Dr. Sharon Walmsley, director of the immunodeficiency clinic at the University Health Network. 

Timothy Ray Brown, known as the "Berlin Patient," was the first person cured of HIV, with his cure announced in 2008. An American living in Berlin, Brown was cured in 2007-2008 through specialized stem cell transplants to treat leukemia, using donors with a rare genetic mutation (\(CCR5\)-\(\Delta 32\)) resistant to HIV. He remained HIV-free until his death in 2020.

Explained: Canada Approves Major Citizenship Law Overhaul: Relief for Indian-Origin Families

The Indian Express has the story.

Canada is changing its citizenship rules to remove decades-old restrictions that created thousands of “lost Canadians” — including many Indians who settled overseas. With the passing of Bill C-3, Canadians born abroad will now be able to pass citizenship to children also born outside Canada, provided they can show a substantial connection to the country. The reforms follow a court ruling that earlier laws were unconstitutional and unfair. Canada says the move makes its Citizenship Act more inclusive and aligned with how modern global families live. But when will the changes take effect? Who benefits? And what does this mean for Indian-origin families worldwide? Watch this complete explainer from The Indian Express to understand the new rules, legal implications, timelines, and expected surge in citizenship requests.
