Le Devoir – Les immigrants vont bâtir des maisons, assure Miller

Parmi le demi-million de personnes que le Canada souhaite accueillir annuellement, certaines ont déjà des maisons ou de l’argent pour s’en acheter une, et d’autres encore vont contribuer à construire plus de logements, a fait valoir vendredi le nouveau responsable du système fédéral d’immigration, Marc Miller. « Ce n’est pas l’immigration qui a doublé — ou même triplé — la valeur [en capital] des maisons au cours de la dernière décennie. Je dirais aussi que ce n’est pas l’immigration qui est responsable de la flambée du taux d’intérêt », a expliqué le ministre Miller.

Toronto Star – ‘Something Doesn’t Seem Right Here’: International Students’ Revoked College Admissions Cast Spotlight on Ontario’s Public-Private Partnerships

This week’s news that admission offers to 504 international students have been revoked by an Ontario college is likely to cast a spotlight once more onto partnerships between Ontario’s public and private colleges. The students in question had been admitted months ago by Timmins-based Northern College to study at Pures College, its private partner in Toronto.

CBC News – Hundreds of International Students Scrambling After Ontario College Revokes Acceptance Letters

Some 500 international students recently received an email informing them that their admission offers for this coming school year had been revoked, according to Northern College. Some were already in Canada when they were informed their offers had been withdrawn. In an emailed statement to CBC Toronto, Pures said it was “ready, willing and able to accept all international students who received letters of admission,” but that its affiliate, Northern College, decided against doing so.

CBC News – Immigration Delays Costing Pregnant Edmonton Woman Thousands for Health Care

Liron Zamir, 31, who was born and raised in Israel, came to Edmonton with her partner to work in 2016. Zamir applied for permanent residency in January 2021, about a month after receiving a provincial nomination letter. Zamir said Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has yet to make a decision on her permanent residency application, more than two and a half years after she submitted it. Having lost provincial health-care coverage in the meantime, she’s responsible for paying for all her medical costs.

Le Devoir – Des demandeurs d’asile qui s’adaptent plutôt que de combattre

Après quelques mois, le constat se pose donc simplement : la fermeture de chemin Roxham ne semble pas avoir eu d’effet sur le nombre de demandeurs d’asile qui entrent au Canada. Le phénomène d’arrivée des migrants qui touchaient jusqu’à récemment principalement l’Europe et les États-Unis est désormais une réalité chez nous. Si cette tendance a été longtemps ignorée, elle devient maintenant incontournable. Pour faire face à cette question de manière pragmatique, il faut davantage s’intéresser au continuum de services d’accueil et à leur coordination, une réflexion qui tarde à se faire.

Globe and Mail – New Temporary Foreign Worker Pilot Program to Speed Up Approvals for Some Employers

The federal government is making it easier for businesses to bring temporary foreign workers into Canada, announcing a new “recognized employer” program aimed at speeding up the approval process for companies with a track record of using foreign labour. The three-year pilot program is designed to reduce the amount of paperwork companies need to submit to justify bringing in outside workers.
