CBC Radio – Minister Says 300,000 New Immigrants a Year Is Canada’s ‘New Normal’

Canada’s immigration minister says Canada will welcome at least as many immigrants next year as it is in 2017. The government’s plan for annual immigration levels, which was set at 300,000 for this year, is expected to be tabled in the House of Commons next week. Immigration minister Ahmed Hussen told The House that the government will not go below that level next year.

CBC News – Amid Immigration Bump, Welcome Centre Struggles to Keep Up with Demand for French Courses

Bienvenue à NDG, an immigration welcome centre in the Montreal’s west end, says it’s struggling to keep up with the demand for language classes — especially in French — that will help immigrants contribute to Quebec society by seeking education and employment. The centre’s executive director Luis Miguel Cristancho says employees have been working many unpaid hours to meet the high demand. The funding provided by Quebec’s Immigration Ministry and the guidelines for who the agency can serve limit the number of people Bienvenue à NDG is able to help, he said.

The Guardian – Syrian Refugee in P.E.I. Scheduled to Address U.N. on World Children’s Day

Basel Alrashdan could speak little English when he first arrived to P.E.I. as a refugee in late December 2015. Now less than two years later, the 12-year-old Charlottetown resident is preparing to share his family’s story at the U.N. Alrashdan and his family were among the first families to arrive on P.E.I. under the federal government’s promise of resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees. Having learned to speak English fluently since he arrived, Alrashdan described his new surroundings as “perfect.”
