Census numbers from 2016 reveal Montreal is by far the country’s most trilingual city. The data were specially ordered by Montreal International, a business association, and provided Friday to The Canadian Press. Statistics Canada’s figures indicate more than 21 per cent of Montrealers can speak at least three languages, compared with 11 per cent of Torontonians and 10 per cent of people in Vancouver. Nearly 850,000 Montrealers know at least three languages and more than 40 per cent of the city’s immigrants are trilingual.
According to the long-form census, the most reliable population measurement tool in the country, Canada’s Jewish population declined from about 309,000 in 2011 to a little more than 143,000 in 2016. The source of the problem is question 17 on the long-form census: “What were the ethnic or cultural origins of this person’s ancestors?” The difference was that in 2011, for the first time, Jewish did not rank among the 20 most common answers.
With Newfoundland and Labrador’s population in decline, the St. John’s Board of Trade says it’s time for the province to change its immigration rules.

Under the current program, people must be sponsored with a job in the province to apply for immigration.
Manitoba’s unemployment rate has been generally low compared to other provinces in recent years, hovering just below the six per cent mark for the general population and about 10 per cent for young workers, said Maureen Kilgour, a professor in the University of Winnipeg’s business and administration department. “But refugees are about 20 per cent and women refugees are much higher than that,” she said.

A former chair of Canada’s immigration and refugee board, Peter Showler, says government sponsored refugees often can’t find gainful employment before their 12-month sponsorship runs out. In an interview with Ottawa Morning, Showler said the biggest barrier to finding work, and integrating into Canadian life, is language. “They can’t get enough language skills within the 12 months to find work that would support a family of five, six or seven.”
