Government of Canada – Ontario Investing to Attract and Retain International Agri-Food Workers
New funding will help not-for-profits and municipalities provide additional supports for agri-food workers. The governments of Canada and Ontario are investing up to $1.5 million over four years to create a more welcoming environment for international agri-food workers (IAWs) who work in Ontario’s $51 billion agri-food sector and provide them with stronger supports during their stay here. These include translation supports, expanding or introducing transportation services, and supporting cultural and recreational activities. The IAW Welcoming Communities Initiative, funded through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), builds on the Virtual Welcome Centre launched in 2023, a webpage of resources for IAWs available in English, Spanish and French. It includes information about worker rights and responsibilities, adjusting to life here, and living and working safely in the community.
Global News – International student asylum claims surged in 2023, data shows
The number of international students applying for asylum in Canada appeared to shoot up dramatically in 2023, government figures show — and is on track to be even higher this year. It comes after Immigration Minister Marc Miller called the increase an “alarming trend.” Data provided to Global News by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada shows a breakdown of asylum applications from people on study permits from 2018 to 2023. In 2023, a total of 13,075 students with study permits made asylum claims. That number was more than double the 5,290 seen in 2022. In 2018, that number sat at 2,230. That number rose to 4,040 in 2019, before falling to 3,065 in 2020 and then rising slightly to 3,425 in 2021.
Financial Post – ‘Certainly a world where we could reduce’ immigration targets, says minister Miller
Immigration Minister Marc Miller says he is exploring the rare option of reducing the number of permanent residents allowed in each year as he gets set to announce the annual immigration targets in November. The targets have generally been maintained or increased for more than a decade, but with declining job vacancies, rising unemployment — especially among newcomers and younger people — and the growing concerns about affordability, “there is certainly a world now in which we see reductions,” he said. Miller said he is going to spend the next two weeks discussing various options with cabinet that make sense for Canada and the economy.
Radio-Canada – Les nouvelles restrictions liées aux travailleurs temporaires étrangers entrent en vigueur
Depuis jeudi, les employeurs du Canada sont soumis à de nouvelles restrictions concernant l’embauche de travailleurs étrangers temporaires faiblement rémunérés. Le gouvernement fédéral espère que ce changement de politique incitera les entreprises à s’efforcer davantage d’embaucher des travailleurs déjà présents au Canada.
Global News – The Federal Court has a new plan to review surge of rejected student visas
The Federal Court has launched a pilot project to streamline the judicial review of rejected student visa applications. The Federal Court said that this year, it was on track to receive 24,000 immigration filings by the end of December. That is approximately four times the yearly average the court experienced in the five years before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a statement. The pilot is called the Study Permit Pilot Project. Under this program, the court promises that those who apply for a judicial review of their rejected student visa will receive a resolution in five months instead of the usual 14 to 18 months. Federal Court Chief Justice Paul Crampton said the pilot project will not require a hearing and will allow judges to rule on leave and judicial review simultaneously.
National Post – Asylum claims at Canadian airports are skyrocketing: Here’s why it’s happening
Asylum seekers became the focus of a jurisdictional tug-of-war this month when federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller accused conservative premiers of trying to “weaponize” asylum arrivals for political gain. The federal Liberal government is hoping to alleviate pressure on Quebec and Ontario, where the bulk of asylum seekers are entering through airports in Toronto and Montreal, by resettling asylum seekers more evenly in other provinces across the country. Three premiers — Alberta’s Danielle Smith, Nova Scotia’s Tim Houston and New Brunswick’s Blaine Higgs — have said they are opposed to taking more asylum seekers than they already get. Miller has said he won’t take no for an answer and would use a “carrot and stick incentive” to push uncooperative provinces to take more.
