Globe and Mail – Canada’s Cities See Immigration-Driven Population Surge After Pandemic Lull
It was a comeback of sorts for urban regions, which had grown just 0.5 per cent the previous year, lagging the growth in rural areas. The pandemic and its accompanying border restrictions led to a dramatic decline in immigration to Canada, while many urban residents decamped to smaller communities. But as restrictions eased, immigration surged to record levels, helping drive most of the population increase in urban areas. Sixteen census metropolitan areas notched their strongest annual growth on record.
Calgary Herald – ‘Beyond Capacity’: Housing Ukrainian Evacuees in Calgary a Daily Struggle for Support Organizations
Adding to the pressure of fleeing war, coming to a new country, learning the language and finding a job, thousands of Ukrainian evacuees are also facing the daunting task of securing housing for both the short and long term in Calgary — a problem that compounds as more and more arrive.

Fritznel Richard, the man who was found dead in Quebec last week after attempting to cross the border into the United States, was attempting to reach his family before Christmas, his widow shared in an interview Monday.

La Presse – Les autorités doivent supprimer les obstacles réglementaires, selon Amnistie internationale
La mort récente d’un homme de Montréal après une hypothermie probable alors qu’il tentait de passer aux États-Unis révèle les dangers des passages frontaliers irréguliers, dont l’utilisation semble en hausse des deux côtés de la frontière canado-américaine. La pauvreté, l’instabilité économique et les perturbations dues aux changements climatiques poussent un nombre croissant de personnes à rechercher la sécurité dans des endroits comme le Canada et les États-Unis.
Radio-Canada – L’immigration serait au cœur d’une hausse d’inscriptions au Conseil scolaire Centre-Nord
Le Conseil scolaire Centre-Nord (CSCN) en Alberta observe une hausse des inscriptions dans ses écoles en dehors des pics habituels, soit une tendance anormale qui semble issue, en partie, de l’immigration. Par contre, cette vague d’inscriptions est néanmoins inédite, car d’ordinaire, le Conseil scolaire Centre-Nord ne l’attend qu’à partir du 1er mars. Le directeur général de la Francophonie albertaine plurielle (FRAP), Alphonse Ahola, abonde dans le même sens.
