Toronto Star – International Education in Canada Is Booming — But the System Is Flawed. Here’s How to Fix It

A months-long joint investigation by the Toronto Star and the St. Catharines Standard found the explosive growth in the number of international students in Canada, particularly in Ontario colleges, has left students feeling overwhelmed and teachers frustrated. There are now more than 572,000 international students in Canada — the largest cohort ever. That unprecedented growth has proven extremely lucrative. But it has also brought significant challenges.

Info – Radio-Canada – Les enfants de migrants ne peuvent pas être détenus indéfiniment aux États-Unis

Une juge fédérale de Californie a bloqué vendredi une tentative du gouvernement du président Donald Trump de revenir sur un accord qui l’empêche de détenir indéfiniment des enfants résidant clandestinement sur le territoire des États-Unis. La décision de la juge Dolly Gee porte sur l’accord dit « de Flores », qui stipule que le gouvernement ne peut détenir des enfants migrants pendant plus de 20 jours.

ICI Alberta – Les fragilités des travailleurs étrangers temporaires

Les étudiants étrangers sont nombreux à recourir à la banque alimentaire de l’Université de Calgary, notamment parce qu’ils ont une marge très limitée pour occuper un emploi. De façon générale, les travailleurs temporaires étrangers restent confrontés à des limites importantes. Dans un communiqué publié le 25 septembre, la banque alimentaire de l’Université de Calgary révèle que 83 étudiants, dont 78 % cent des étrangers, ont demandé de l’aide de la banque alimentaire entre le 1er août et le 15 septembre.

Global News – Green Party Pledges to Scrap Temporary Foreign Worker Program — Is That a Good Idea?

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) has had many problems. This includes allegations from employees who say they have been abused by their bosses, reports of unscrupulous recruiters requiring people to pay for jobs and companies that bring in foreign labour rather than hiring Canadians. For Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, these abuses — and the program itself — have gone on long enough. If elected, she is promising to eliminate the TFWP in favour of increasing the number of permanent economic immigrants Canada takes in each year.

CTV News – Facing Labour Shortage, Parts of Quebec Hope Election Brings More Immigration

In parts of Quebec, business owners are pushing federal election candidates for increased immigration to address a growing shortage of workers in the region. Denis Coderre, the owner of of the trucking company SGT2000 Inc. in Drummondville, Que. told CTV News that those looking for a job came knocking at his door just three years ago, but now he travels the world in search of people to work for him. “I am missing drivers,” he said in French. “I have about 50 trucks parked in the yard, no drivers.”

Global News – Many Canadians Think More Refugees Are Admitted Than Actually Are. Here’s Why That’s a Problem

Canadians are much more likely to overestimate the number of refugees the country admits every year than to underestimate it, a study shows. Asked to guess the correct number, 61 per cent said they didn’t know, 12 per cent got the answer right (28,000), while far more overestimated the number (24 per cent) than underestimated it (3 per cent). Few people could give the correct number of immigrants (330,000), though they were less likely to overestimate it.
