Info Radio-Canada – L’intelligence artificielle pourrait-elle aider Québec à sélectionner ses immigrants?
Avec l’appui du milieu des affaires, une entreprise montréalaise, spécialisée dans le recrutement par l’entremise de l’intelligence artificielle, propose au ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion (MIDI) d’utiliser cette technique afin de combler adéquatement les besoins de main-d’œuvre de la province. « Le match parfait entre candidats et entreprises est une équation mathématique qui regroupe plusieurs critères qui ont différents niveaux d’importance », explique Julie Hubert, la présidente de Workland.
Le Soleil – Loi sur la laïcité : première victoire pour Québec
Un juge de la Cour supérieure a rejeté, jeudi, la demande de groupes de défense des libertés civiles et religieuses qui réclamaient la suspension de la Loi sur la laïcité de l’État. Le juge Michel Yergeau a tranché que la loi continuerait de s’appliquer jusqu’à ce qu’un tribunal se prononce sur le fond de l’affaire. Car leur but ultime est de faire invalider cette mesure législative, qui a été connue avant son adoption sous le nom de projet de loi 21.
Toronto Star – Record Number of Canada-Bound Visitors Barred from Flights on Advice of Canada Border Agents
A record number of Canada-bound visitors were turned away at airports overseas on the advice of Canadian border officials last year, the Star has learned. According to evidence submitted in a court case against the Canada Border Services Agency, in 2018 alone, 7,208 travellers were “off-loaded” by commercial airliners on the recommendation of its overseas agents because they were “improperly documented” — even though many were from countries where visas are not required. This compared to just 2,873 the year before and 2,769 in 2016.
CBC News – She’d Like to Help the Doctor Shortage, but Immigration Rules Are Holding Her Back
A Dalhousie University student from Fredericton says she’s caught in a citizenship loophole that’s hurting her and costing the community a potential new doctor. Ashley Osa-Peters is about to begin her fourth year of study in microbiology and immunology and wants to apply to medical school but is not allowed to do so because she’s not considered a resident of Canada. “It feels like a rejection and like a separation,” said Osa-Peters, who has been living in New Brunswick since she was 12.
CBC News – Pilot Program to Ease Restrictions on Foreign Caregivers
Under current rules, foreign workers aren’t assessed for permanent residency until after they’ve been employed two years, at which point some found out they didn’t qualify. Under a new five-year pilot program, foreign workers will be screened up front so those who qualify will become permanent residents as soon as they’ve completed their two years of employment. The pilot will also allow workers to bring their spouses and children with them, and will also grant work permits specific to a foreign worker’s occupation rather than their employer.
Globe and Mail – Immigration and Refugee Board Says Cuts to Legal-Aid Funding in Ontario Will Cause Hearing Delays
The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) has issued a notice saying the 30-per-cent cut in funding announced in April to Legal Aid Ontario will affect the board’s operations due to an expected rise in the number of refugee claimants who don’t have lawyers. “The IRB expects these impacts will include longer hearings, more postponements and adjournments and more missed deadlines on the part of unrepresented individuals,” the notice states.
