Le Soleil – Portait statistique des immigrants de Québec
L’immigration est devenue plus que jamais cette semaine un des enjeux significatifs de l’élection du 1er octobre en raison des positions divergentes des principaux partis. La Coalition avenir Québec souhaite abaisser à 40 000 par an le nombre d’immigrants admis. Le Parti québécois va plus loin et évoque un seuil de 35 000 à 40 000. Le Parti libéral et Québec solidaire souhaitent pour leur part maintenir le rythme actuel de 50 000 immigrants par an et n’excluent pas de l’augmenter.
Le Devoir – Immigration : Legault joue la carte de l’identité
Le volume d’immigrants qui entrent au Québec sans parler français représente une menace potentielle à l’identité québécoise, soutien François Legault, le chef de la Coalition Avenir Québec. La CAQ propose une diminution de plus de 23 % du nombre de nouveaux arrivants accueillis dès 2019, parce que le Québec aurait « dépassé sa capacité d’intégration. » Le parti veut aussi imposer des examens de français et de connaissance de valeurs québécoises après un certain temps passé au Québec, en plus de démontréaliser le point de chute des immigrants.
Globe and Mail – Language and Immigration Come to the Front in Quebec Election
In an era of a dormant independence debate, the leader of the conservative Coalition Avenir Québec ended the week turning the spotlight on two issues that still set Quebec apart: immigration and the French language. François Legault’s immigration policy is long-standing: He wants to cut quotas for new arrivals, test those who do come for French language and adherence to Quebec values after three years and then expel those who don’t pass – a power the province does not have.
Global News – Non-Permanent Residents Should Qualify for Canada Child Benefit, Report Urges
Non-permanent resident families living in Canada, including irregular migrants, are prevented from receiving the Canada Child Benefit. A new report published Friday, entitled Every Child Counts, is calling on the federal government to allow families who do not yet have permanent status in Canada to be able to access the child benefit. The report was authored by a coalition of poverty and immigration advocacy groups who say impoverished children and women living in precarious situations after arriving in Canada are being made more vulnerable by being denied access to this financial help.
CBC News – François Legault Has Ramped Up His Rhetoric Around Immigration. Here’s a Closer Look at the CAQ’s Plan
After a difficult start to the campaign, leader François Legault has played up his proposal and cranked up the rhetoric around the importance of preserving Quebec identity. One of the key proposals of the Coalition Avenir Québec, the party leading in the polls, is to cut the number of immigrants to 40,000 a year. The party would also require them to pass a language and values test.
National Post – Man Accused of Being Globetrotting Heroin Trafficker Has Refugee Status Revoked Despite Insisting He Was Framed
Saleem Khan has been known as a 55-year-old Montreal father, husband and businessman who fled Pakistan fearing political violence after the assassination of his father. He claimed refugee status in Canada in 1996. He has also been known in Germany as a forger and drug convict from Afghanistan named Sayeed Sharif; and a Pakistani official says he is really Arshad Iqbal, a wanted international heroin trafficker. His lawyer insists he is being framed by the same corrupt Pakistani officials who forced him into exile in the first place.
