Yahoo News – Successful immigration program becomes permanent, Ottawa says

Known as RNIP, the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot has, over the five years of its activity, demonstrated value and success, supporters say, connecting businesses and employers with the skilled newcomers they need to thrive.

Whether it is welding and construction, health care or manufacturing, or addressing any labour shortage, knowledgeable employees are critical to Canada’s long-term growth, the Liberal government says. Their presence strengthens local and regional economies.

Toronto Star – She’s been in Canada for a decade, but still can’t get permanent residence. Is Canada failing caregivers like her?

Connie Alinton worked in a seafood factory in the Philippines, canning sardines.

But she needed to pay for the care of her mother’s heart-enlargement problem and to support her siblings, so when an opportunity came to work in Canada in 2013, she jumped on it.

CBC – Federal government looked into airlifts to bring 12,000 Afghans to Canada after Kabul fell

Nearly a year after it closed its embassy in Afghanistan following Kabul’s fall to the Taliban in 2021, the federal government was trying to plan flights out of the country to bring in an estimated 12,000 Afghans it believed were “current and future” clients of Immigration Canada, CBC News has learned.

That information is contained in a memo written for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by the Privy Council Office and sent to him the week ending June 24, 2022. CBC News obtained the document through an access to information request.

CBC – Federal government commits to permanent rural, northern immigration program

The federal government has unveiled two new immigration pilot programs to help tackle labour shortages in rural areas and among Francophone minority communities.

The Rural Community Immigration Pilot is essentially an extension of the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP), the existing program that will expire this summer. When the new pilot launches this fall, it will be joined by an additional offering, the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot.

Government of Canada – Canada announces new immigration pilots to support rural and Francophone minority communities, will create a permanent program

Rural and Francophone minority communities are critical to Canada’s long-term growth, and regional immigration plays a key role in strengthening their economies. In particular, the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) has been successful in connecting businesses and employers in remote communities with the skilled newcomers they need to thrive.

That is why today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced new pilots for rural and Francophone minority communities, as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) continues work toward creating a permanent rural immigration program. These are the Rural Community Immigration Pilot and the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot.

New Canadian Media – Survey says newcomers have lower rate of workplace harassment; experts say fear prevents reporting

A new survey suggests immigrants are less likely to experience sexual and other harassment in the workplace, but experts say it’s more likely that fear of reprisal is preventing newcomers from reporting the incidents in the first place.

The survey by Statistics Canada titled, “Survey on Sexual Misconduct at Work,” found that one in three immigrant women (35 per cent) and one in five immigrant men (20 per cent) reported having experienced harassment or sexual assault in the workplace.
