Le Devoir – Les appels de travailleurs temporaires déferlent sur une ligne d’information juridique
Les travailleurs temporaires appellent à l’aide en grand nombre à une ligne d’information de l’organisme Justice Pro Bono leur étant dévouée. Parmi eux, beaucoup demandent s’ils peuvent accéder à un permis ouvert dans un contexte où le programme d’urgence pour les travailleurs vulnérables est bloqué. Les demandes de permis ouvert devraient être traitées en priorité, selon Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada (IRCC), mais les délais de traitement montent à plusieurs mois. Ces retards ne permettent ainsi plus au programme de remplir son rôle de soupape et de protection, disent plusieurs organisations.
IRCC – New measure to support skilled temporary workers in Manitoba
Regional economic immigration programs support the sustainable growth and economic stability of our country, and contribute significantly to the cultural diversity and enrichment of Canada. Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced that Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has approved Manitoba’s requestto extend temporary resident status for potential nominees identified under the province’s Provincial Nominee Program who have work permits that will expire in 2024. These individuals are mainly post-graduation work permit holders who are currently in the Manitoba Skilled Worker Provincial Nominee Program Expression of Interest pool. These skilled workers are filling key job vacancies in Manitoba, and actively contributing to the province’s economy and diverse cultural fabric.
Financial Post – Immigrants recruited to boost Trudeau’s homebuilding plan
Canada is on track to add more newcomers with construction skills than in recent years, an early sign that a targeted immigration program is working, though still not quickly enough to close a massive housing supply gap. Admissions of permanent residents with trade skills rose 29 per cent from January through March from the average quarterly rate in 2023, according to government data obtained by Bloomberg. If that pace is sustained, Canada will grant residency to some 17,800 skilled construction workers this year.
Le Devoir – Les travailleurs étrangers à la rescousse des chaînes de restauration
Les McDonald’s, Burger King et autres Tim Hortons des régions ne peuvent pratiquement plus se passer de travailleurs étrangers. Tant en Outaouais que sur la Côte-Nord, en passant par les villages du Lac-Saint-Jean, des employés originaires d’un peu partout dans le monde prennent nos commandes ou préparent nos plats en vitesse. Portrait d’une industrie en transformation. En 2017, les travailleurs étrangers temporaires occupaient 7,2 % du nombre total d’emplois dans l’industrie de la restauration, et tout indique que leur place n’a depuis cessé de croître.
CBC News – Expiring federal work permits for thousands of Manitoba newcomers to be extended
More than 6,700 newcomers in Manitoba whose federal work permits were set to expire this year will be able to stay in the province for at least another two years, Manitoba’s labour and immigration minister said Tuesday. Malaya Marcelino says she got a letter from federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller Tuesday, confirming the federal government has approved the province’s request to extend the expiring post-graduate work permits. Ottawa had announced in December it was no longer offering 18-month extensions to post-graduate work permits, after previously offering those extensions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
IRCC – New temporary public policy to benefit Hong Kong permanent residence applicants
Canada continues to stand by Hong Kong nationals and supports their freedom and democracy. We continue to monitor the situation in Hong Kong to ensure our immigration programs remain responsive to the needs of Hong Kong residents wishing to come to Canada. A pathway to permanent residence for in-Canada Hong Kong nationals was launched on February 8, 2021, as part of Canada’s response to developments in Hong Kong. Due to a high volume of applications, processing times for this pathway have grown, and many applicants are at risk of seeing their temporary status in Canada expire before their permanent residence applications are finalized.
