La Presse – Les délais bondissent à presque trois ans
Les délais pour parrainer un conjoint vivant à l’étranger, déjà deux fois plus longs qu’ailleurs au Canada, continuent d’augmenter au Québec. La semaine dernière, La Presse rapportait qu’ils étaient de 27 mois. Ils ont depuis bondi à 33 mois, presque trois ans. Dans les autres provinces, ils sont restés à 13 mois. Ces délais pourraient encore augmenter parce que le nombre de places pour la réunification des familles est plafonné au Québec. Comme les demandes sont supérieures aux places disponibles, le nombre de familles en attente d’une décision augmente. Il a atteint 38 800 en juillet.
Global News – Who are the 500,000 immigrants headed to Canada? A look at the numbers
Canada is set to welcome nearly 1.5 million new permanent residents over the next three years, according to the new targets recently announced by Immigration Minister Marc Miller.

Ontario would be the first province to dismantle that barrier in the hiring process, Labour Minister David Piccini said.
New Canadians bring a wealth of knowledge, skills and ability, but recent immigrants with a bachelor’s degree are twice as likely as their Canadian-born counterparts to work in jobs that require only a high school education, he said.
Immigrants to Canada are increasingly leaving this country for opportunities elsewhere, according to a study(opens in a new tab) conducted by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and the Conference Board of Canada.

CBC – ‘No International Students!!’ As need grows, Brampton food bank turning some away
A Brampton food bank has decided to close its doors to international students, amid an overwhelming demand it says it can’t meet.
Board president Catherine Rivera says Ste. Louise Outreach Centre of Peel can’t provide enough food and other supplies to its customers because of the influx of international students showing up at the food bank since September.
