CBC News — Brandon’s Assiniboine College shuts down 5 programs, records 78% drop in international applications
The number of applications from international students has dropped about 78 per cent at Assiniboine College in Brandon because of the federal cap on study permits, forcing the cancellation of some programs, the school’s international program manager says. “For winter and spring 2025 terms, we’ve already had to cancel or reduce intakes in courses such as office skills, baking foundations, culinary arts, business administration, accounting and finance programs,” said Sandeep Rane. It’s among several colleges in Manitoba dealing with a drop in international student enrolments because of the federal government’s cap on undergraduate permits.
National Post — What to know about immigration fraud and changes to temporary foreign worker program
Quietly included in a series of announcements about strengthening Canada’s border security and immigration system was news of proposed changes to the competitive point system that gauges a prospective immigrant for residency. During a press conference in Ottawa, Immigration Minister Marc Miller revealed that candidates with a job offer backed by a federally-approved Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) would no longer receive additional ranking points in their Express Entry System applications. The move was not included in the government’s press release listing other immigration changes, which included efforts to end “flagpoling” and giving Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada more authoritative power over immigration documents when it comes to cases of fraud or security risks.
Government of Canada — Statement for International Migrants Day
The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship; the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs; and the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development, issued the following statement: “As the world evolves, more people than ever are making the life-changing decision to leave their homes in search of safety and opportunity. Migrants and refugees bring skills, innovation and cultural diversity, enriching communities and strengthening economies. International Migrants Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on the many contributions of newcomers to Canada and to reaffirm our commitment to protecting migrants’ rights, fostering their inclusion in society and building meaningful connections within their new communities.
Government of Canada — Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s 2023–24 Departmental Results Report
As the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, I am pleased to present the 2023–24 Departmental Results Report. Our labour force growth has been driven almost entirely by immigration. This is important because Canada’s aging population needs newcomers to help address demographic pressures and sustain our social programs over the long term. What we heard from Canadians is that they expect Canada to identify the right number of newcomers with the needed skills, and help set them up for success. We are introducing changes to further recalibrate international student, foreign worker and permanent resident volumes. That work has already started.
La Presse — Québec suspend un autre programme d’immigration
Ce gel s’applique au parrainage collectif réalisé en vertu du Programme des personnes réfugiées à l’étranger. Ce programme s’adresse aux groupes de personnes et aux organismes qui veulent parrainer un réfugié qui se trouve dans un autre pays ainsi que les membres de sa famille. Ils en deviennent le garant, en vertu d’un contrat avec le gouvernement. Ce programme ne concerne pas les demandeurs d’asile présents au Québec. Selon un arrêté ministériel publié dans la Gazette officielle mercredi, le ministre de l’Immigration, Jean-François Roberge a décidé que « soit suspendue la réception des demandes d’engagement » dans le cadre de ce programme pour l’année 2025.
La Presse — Près d’un cas de blessure pour trois employés chaque année
Le nombre de blessures ou de maladies liées à l’usine d’Olymel à Ange-Gardien, en Montérégie, a triplé depuis que le groupe coopératif Sollio a mis la main sur l’établissement d’abattage et de transformation de porc, en 2020, a appris La Presse. Si la flambée des lésions professionnelles s’explique en partie par une augmentation de la main-d’œuvre, un médecin d’urgence de Granby s’inquiète pour les travailleurs étrangers temporaires (TET) ou immigrants, qui comptent pour les deux tiers des effectifs syndiqués de l’établissement.
