Cameroonvoice – Canada : Cours d’anglais gratuits pour les francophones de l’Ontario
La langue française est présente en Ontario depuis plus de 350 ans. D’ailleurs, la communauté francophone de la province représente la communauté francophone la plus importante du Canada après celle du Québec. La journée du drapeau ontarien est célébrée le 25 Septembre et fêtera cette année le 39ème anniversaire de l’amitié franco-ontarienne. En novembre 2013, l’Ontario a décidé d’étendre son programme d’Anglais Langue Seconde (ESL : English as Second Language) dans les communautés à travers la province afin d’encourager l’intégration des francophones en Ontario mais aussi pour permettre aux immigrants de langue française d’obtenir plus d’opportunités et de succès en matière de recherche d’emploi.
Nova News – Toronto Consultants Advise Immigrants to Avoid Digby, Yarmouth, Clare
Immigroup, an immigration consulting firm based in Toronto that helps people apply to come to Canada, posted a list last August called “Dying Towns: 10 Towns in Canada that Smart Immigrants Avoid”. […] The list appears to be based on StatsCan data – for Digby and Yarmouth the unemployment rates of 13 and 12.5 per cent are the main reasons for avoiding the towns, but for Clare they also mention that the average wage fell by 7.5 per cent. […] The mayor says Immigroup’s information about the Yarmouth ferry is out of date, not to mention the StatsCan data the whole list is based on. “We’ve seen an increase in fisheries jobs,” he said, “We have a fish plant in Meteghan looking for employees—they’re looking to bring people in because they can’t find employees here.”
The Record – App for New Canadians Wins Open Data Contest
Carlos Saavedra and Jason Ernst will use $26,000 in prize money they just won to launch a startup called Electric Sheep, which will help new Canadians decide where they should live based on employment, education and climate data. Saavedra and Ernst won first place in the Canadian Open Data Experience, a national app development contest organized by the Treasury Board of Canada. […] Their app is called newRoots and is based on seven sets of data. Recent immigrants who use the app select the factors that are important to them, and the app provides a list of cities matching their priorities. Most new Canadians first settle in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver. […] The app taps into federal data on average incomes, visible-minority populations, crime rates, housing data, climate, unemployment rates and labour markets.
The Telegram – Virginia Waters Candidates Meet with Muslim Community
All three candidates in the race to win former Premier Kathy Dunderdale’s old district of Virginia Waters in an upcoming byelection attempted to garner support during an all-candidates event in St. John’s Wednesday night. The Muslim Association of Newfoundland and Labrador organized the event as a means to give members of its community the chance to hear from the candidates. It was held at the Masjid al-Noor mosque, located within the Virginia Waters district.
The Telegram – Immigration Canada Cites Lack of Money in Denying Woman a Visa
Danny Gillis, a regional co-ordinator with the Catholic organization, told The Telegram then that every year the group brings a speaker from someplace overseas where it does work. This year, the guest was to be Alawiran-Plaza from the Philipines, who was described in a number of church bulletins advertising her visit as “area manager of a coalition of grassroots people’s organizations that works towards achieving sustainable rural development. (It) is based on the belief that the poor can make positive economic and social change for themselves.” In denying her a visa, Immigration Canada noted the woman’s lack of experience in giving such talks and her lack of financial security. “In reviewing her application, the visa officer noted that Ms. Alawiran-Plaza did not provide evidence that she has given similar talks or presentations in the past and she has no previous documented travel outside of the Philippines,” an email from Immigration Canada reads. “In addition, she has negligible savings and few ties to her home country.”
Radio-Canada – Les immigrants abandonnés par les vieux partis, dit Québec solidaire
Entouré des candidats de la région de Laval et du co-porte-parole Andres Fontecilla, Amir Khadir a affirmé jeudi que « les libéraux pensent que les immigrants leur sont acquis, que les immigrants vont se fermer les yeux, se fermer les oreilles, se tenir le nez à aller toujours voter pour les libéraux parce que les libéraux ont réussi, oui, à leur faire peur à cause du référendum et tout ça […] Eux-mêmes issus de l’immigration, MM. Fontecilla et Khadir ont soutenu que bien des nouveaux arrivants qualifiés « ne demandent bien souvent qu’à servir le Québec avec leurs compétences ». Québec solidaire propose d’améliorer les programmes de francisation et de faciliter le processus de reconnaissance des diplômes des personnes immigrantes.
