CBC News – Thousands Join Effort to Stop International Student from Being Deported for ‘Working Too Hard,’ He Says
Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition as part of an eleventh-hour plea to stop the deportation of an international student arrested for working too many hours — just days before his graduation. It was December 2017 when Jobandeep Singh Sandhu, 22, was pulled over while behind the wheel of a long-haul truck driving from Montreal back to Toronto. Sandhu, originally from India and studying mechanical engineering at Canadore College, was 10 days away from receiving his diploma when he was stopped by Ontario Provincial Police.

Her eyes lit up when she spotted her husband, Ponziano, and their two adopted sons, Benedict and Emmanuel, approaching.

Montreal Gazette – Quebec Must Focus on Integrating Immigrants into Jobs: Institut Du Québec
The decision by the Legault government to reduce annual immigration levels from the present 51,000 to 40,000 will reduce Quebec’s demographic weight in Canada from today’s proportion of 22.6 per cent to 20.2 per cent by 2040, a report by the Institut du Québec contends. However the same report also notes that before worrying about how many immigrants should be permitted to enter Quebec, the provincial government should concentrate on doing a better job integrating them.
