Government of Canada — Government of Canada invests in bilingual workforce development and Francophone entrepreneurship across southern Ontario

A strong economy is one that works for everyone. That’s why the Government of Canada is investing in organizations that build inclusive, resilient communities by creating meaningful employment opportunities for official language minority communities and newcomers, while supporting the evolving workforce needs of local businesses. ACFOMI is receiving nearly $103,000 to support the resiliency and growth of up to 12 businesses in the tourism, sustainable development and service sectors. Participants will receive training, guidance and tools to strengthen their workforce development and inclusion practices to support the hiring and onboarding of Francophone employees and create and sustain bilingual workplaces.

CBC News — Immigrants protest Quebec’s removal of permanent residency pathway

As Quebec prepares to cut a major pathway to permanent residency in Canada, applicants in the province are calling for pre-existing conditions to apply to their immigration request. Protests against the removal of the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) — organized by immigration advocacy group Le Québec c’est nous aussi (LQCNA) — took place Monday morning at the Quebec Immigration Ministry’s office in downtown Montreal and in front of the National Assembly in Quebec City.

Radio-Canada — Des centaines de personnes immigrantes dénoncent l’abolition du PEQ

Quelques centaines de personnes ont manifesté, lundi, à Québec, à Montréal et à Sherbrooke pour dénoncer l’abolition du Programme de l’expérience québécoise (PEQ). Ces immigrants comptaient sur celui-ci pour obtenir la résidence permanente après deux ans d’expérience professionnelle dans la province. Dans certains cas, ces immigrants ont même été recrutés dans leur pays d’origine par des institutions québécoises en quête de main-d’œuvre. À Québec comme à Montréal, les manifestants ont dénoncé une injustice parce que le gouvernement a changé les règles du jeu quelques mois avant qu’ils puissent bénéficier du PEQ.

La Presse — Immigration : retour vers le passé

Les pourcentages peuvent être trompeurs. À première vue, la baisse de l’immigration proposée par le fédéral paraît draconienne : 43 % d’ici l’année prochaine. Si on compare le nombre de nouveaux arrivants à celui d’il y a une décennie, la hausse reste toutefois importante. Cela explique pourquoi le gouvernement donne un coup de frein, et pourquoi le sujet préoccupe soudainement les électeurs, y compris ceux qui sont issus de l’immigration.

CTV News — Former immigration minister says Canada’s reputation on welcoming refugees is at risk

Former immigration minister Lloyd Axworthy, a prominent global champion for refugees, said he believes Canada is putting its reputation as a welcoming place for refugees at risk through recent federal policy shifts. Those shifts, he said, include the Carney government’s new border security bill, C-12, which would limit the ability of individuals who have been in Canada for more than a year to claim asylum.
