ABS-CBN – Pinoys React to Study Saying Immigrants a Burden to Canada
A Filipino group in Victoria, British Columbia hits back at The Fraser Institute for releasing a study that shows immigrants as a burden to Canada. An overhaul of the immigrant selection process is being pushed by The Fraser Institute in a study that analyzes the income disparity between immigrants and Canadians. […] But the Victoria Filipino-Canadian Association said the study is exaggerated and one-sided. They are alarmed at the impact the study would have on immigration policies and plan to dispute The Fraser Institute’s findings.
Global Post – Saskatchewan Tops 1.1 Million People for the First Time, Largely Due to Immigration
Premier Brad Wall says international immigration is a huge part of Saskatchewan’s latest population boom. According to Statistics Canada, the number of people living in the province has passed the 1.1 million mark for the first time. That’s an increase of 20,757 people in the past year and more than 106,000 people since 2007. The premier says the new goal is to have 1.2 million people by 2020. He says the economy is drawing people to Saskatchewan for jobs and helping to keep new graduates in the province. The premier also says better immigration policies helped.
Hamilton Spectator – Centre Celebrates 25 Years Helping Immigrant Women
When Phipi Paul came to Canada in 2010 from a refugee camp in Ethiopia, she followed in the footsteps of thousands before her in Hamilton, who benefitted from the help of the Immigrant Women’s Centre. At the centre they learned English, how to search for jobs, take courses, find socialization outlets for their young children and take advantage of so much other assistance in helping them settle in their new country. […]Executive director Ines Rios has been with the centre since the start, when it was a Sisters of St. Joseph outreach program that evolved into the St. Joseph’s Immigrant Women’s Centre — and now shortened to Immigrant Women’s Centre.
Hamilton Spectator – Immigrants Still Find it Tough to Get Work in Hamilton: Study
A new study concludes language — and the demand for “Canadian experience” — remain major hurdles to immigrants working toward their piece of the national dream. Those traditional barriers, however, can be cleared with a helping hand from a local mentor. The research on more than 300 Hamilton employers, by Workforce Planning Hamilton, the Hamilton Immigration Partnership Council and Francophone Immigration Network, concluded they are open to hiring immigrants — as long as they’re the best applicant for the job — but few make specific efforts to hire newcomers. It also found that generally, immigrants remain frozen out of the informal hiring streams of word-of-mouth job advertising, which fills most positions. And yet, it notes that within 20 years one-third of Canada’s entire workforce will be foreign-born and immigrants already account for practically all of the growth in the country’s labour pool.

Toronto Star – Immigration Detainees Vow to Continue Hunger
Immigration detainees recently shuffled from Toronto to a Lindsay facility have vowed to continue a hunger strike until detention conditions improve. The 191 inmates, held in Toronto West Detention Centre before their transfer to Lindsay in August, staged a protest and held a brief hunger strike last Tuesday, claiming poor treatment at the new facility, located almost two hours from Toronto. About 150 detainees resumed a hunger strike Monday, consuming only water and juices, said inmate Eric Kusi. At least four inmates have fallen sick due to low blood sugar and blood pressure, he said.
