Le Devoir – Spectaculaire bond de la résistance à l’immigration au Canada

L’appui aux cibles d’immigration actuelles est en chute libre. Entre 2022 et 2023, la proportion de Canadiens susceptibles de dire qu’il y a trop d’immigrants dans le pays a bondi de 17 points de pourcentage, ce qui vient renverser radicalement une tendance qui remonte à des décennies. Quelque 27 % des Canadiens considéraient l’an dernier que « le Canada accueille trop d’immigrants ». Cette année, ils sont 44 % à affirmer une telle chose, une croissance record de 17 points.

Radio-Canada – Des tensions qui freinent l’immigration

Le rapatriement d’une quarantaine des 61 diplomates canadiens en poste en Inde il y a une dizaine de jours pourrait empêcher le Canada d’atteindre ses cibles en immigration, conséquence directe des relations très tendues entre Ottawa et New Delhi. C’est que depuis quelques années, l’Inde est la principale source d’immigrants du Canada. En 2022, le pays a accueilli un nombre record de 437 120 résidents permanents. Et de ce nombre, 118 085 immigrants venaient de l’Inde, soit 27 % du total.

Globe and Mail – New federal immigration targets coming next week

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says he is not in favour of lowering Canada’s immigration targets, as Ottawa prepares to publish next week new goals for the number of permanent residents it plans to welcome each year until 2026.

Mr. Miller says the cabinet is still in 11th-hour discussions about whether annual targets for permanent residents should remain static, rise or go down. He said ministers are also looking at whether the categories of migrants who can stay in Canada should be refined.
