Voies vers la prospérité: Canada

Le gouvernement de la Saskatchewan fait machine arrière et ne soutiendra plus les demandes d’immigration associées au Centre mondial d’exposition commercial (GTEC) situé sur les terrains de la Régie de la plaque tournante du transport mondial (GTH), à l’ouest de Regina. En 2016, le promoteur Brightenview Development International, établi en Saskatchewan, a signé une entente avec le gouvernement provincial pour acquérir le terrain du futur centre commercial. Au même moment, le gouvernement et le promoteur ont aussi signé une entente de coopération, dont les détails demeurent inconnus pour l’instant.

Est-ce que l’immigration tire vraiment les salaires vers le bas? Excellente question, mais difficile à répondre. Jean-François Cliche a fait une excellente recherche. Il a consulté une excellente brochette d’experts. Il a bien résumé l’information que vous avez récoltée et bien résumé celle-ci dans votre conclusion : «Il est difficile de mesurer l’impact de l’immigration sur les salaires, mais les études qui l’ont fait ont pour la plupart trouvé un effet faible et à court terme. L’immigration peut cependant avoir d’autres impacts sur le marché du travail et l’économie.»

Two years ago, the federal government committed to stopping family separations, and the detention or housing of minors — except in extremely limited circumstances. Now, the Canadian Council for Refugees has released a report on how that’s going, saying that Canada still has some serious work to do. Statistics from the Canada Border Services Agency say that 118 minors were housed or detained at an immigration holding centre in the most recent fiscal year.

The sanctions against Syria were established by Canada in 2011 after the country’s president Bashar al-Assad violently cracked down on peaceful protesters. Kalai, a Syrian national with permanent resident status in Canada, is accused of violating the measures imposed on Syria by making a payment of 15 million Syrian pounds — the equivalent of approximately $140,000 — to a company called Syrialink on Nov. 27, 2013. If convicted Kalai could face up to five years in prison.

The first and only city-run refugee shelter in Toronto successfully opened its doors Tuesday, with about 20 refugees climbing off a bus and dropping their heavy luggage in their new temporary space — all thanks to Iranian-Canadian immigrants who dished out millions to purchase the former Toronto Hydro building for the cause. “We wanted to give back to the community because we, as immigrants ourselves, we know the struggles they have when they come to a new country,” said Hamid Ghadaki.

Simon Jolin-Barrette is facing backlash over a reform he proposed earlier this month that would have placed severe limits on the number of foreign students allowed into the province, despite a labour shortage. Called the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), the program was initially designed to allow all international students with an eligible degree, or those with work experience in Quebec, fast-track access to a Quebec selection certificate.
