CBC – New Brunswick Population Shrinking, Statistics Canada Reports
A strong wave of immigrants coming to New Brunswick last year was not enough to reverse the province’s dwindling population numbers, as current residents continue to move west by the thousands, new figures show. Statistics Canada says New Brunswick’s population dropped by 764 during 2013, the second year in a row of decline, despite more than 2,000 international immigrants arriving during the year. Immigrants have become the most significant source of new citizens in New Brunswick, but their numbers are being overwhelmed by existing residents who have been leaving for other provinces, principally Alberta.
The Record – Six More Names Added to CBSA’s Wanted List
The names of six men have been added to the Canada Border Service Agency’s wanted list.

[…] CBSA says so far Canadians have helped locate 55 wanted individuals in Canada, of whom 43 have been removed from the country, and 14 individuals abroad. […] Roxanne James, the parliamentary secretary to the minister of public safety, said the fact that nearly half the people on the wanted list have been located shows not only the program’s usefulness but also the level of the public’s engagement.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada News Release – Attracting Skilled Newcomers to Canada
Federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) immigration ministers today reiterated their commitment to actively recruit economic immigrants that have the skills the Canadian economy needs most. Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander and Alberta’s Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour Minister Thomas Lukaszuk co-chaired the meeting of FPT ministers responsible for immigration. Economic immigration was a top priority for all ministers around the table. Ministers agreed to continue collaborating on building the new active recruitment model which is known as the Expression of Interest (or EOI) system. It is intended to transform Canada’s immigration system into one that is more responsive to labour market needs.
Chronicle Herald – Immigrant-Focused Radio Proposed
Tony Karam wants to give the immigrant communities of Halifax a voice on the airwaves. The president and founder of Radio Middle East in Montreal has applied to the CRTC for a licence to establish a “multi-ethnic radio station” in Halifax. […] The majority of the programming would be in Arabic and include a number of other languages to encompass and reflect the growing immigrant communities in the region, he said. In the CRTC application, he proposed the commercial radio station would begin broadcasting a minimum of three different languages in its first year and grow from there. […] Data from the 2011 census shows that more than 23,800 people in the Halifax Regional Municipality speak something other than English or French as a first language, including more than 5,100 people who speak Arabic as a first language and more than 2,100 who speak Chinese. When Karam’s station CHOU 1450 AM hit the air in 1996 in Montreal, home to Canada’s largest Lebanese community, it was the first Arab language radio station in the country.
