Toronto Star – ‘A Canary in the Coal Mine.’ People Keep Leaving Ontario in Record Numbers for Affordable Homes and a Better Life
Ontario saw a net loss of 47,212 people to other provinces over the past two years, the highest number on record, according to figures from Statistics Canada, released in September. This trend is particularly pronounced among young adults, and may be due to the rise of remote work, as well as rising home prices, the agency concluded. But even with pandemic restrictions lifting and many employers calling workers back to the office, Statistics Canada numbers show a net loss of 11,581 people to other provinces in the third quarter of 2022.
Le Devoir – « Les immigrants veulent apprendre le français »
Ces employés d’origine étrangère font partie d’une histoire à succès peu connue : le Centre de services scolaire de Montréal (CSSDM) offre depuis plusieurs années des cours de francisation en entreprise à des centaines de personnes.

Globe and Mail – How Immigrants from Benin Saved a Quebec Town’s Storied Poutinerie
In most ways, Chez Morasse is a typical Quebec casse-croûte. It stands across the street from the junior hockey arena in Rouyn-Noranda, a small northern city in a mining district. It serves poutine, steamed hot dogs and Pepsi. The same family ran the business for three generations, beginning when Conrad Morasse opened a humble chip stand in the 1960s. But this summer, the restaurant changed hands – to a pair of surprising new owners. Carlos Sodji and Sylviane Senou are from the West African nation of Benin
CBC News – Sask. Court Rejects Sudanese Man’s Appeal Asking for Leniency Based on Gladue-Like Factors
A conviction appeal heard in a Saskatoon courtroom last month from a Black Sudanese refugee asking for leniency based on his personal history was rejected — although his sentence was reduced by 18 months. Mohamed Omer, 45, appealed both the aggravated assault conviction and the seven-and-a-half year sentence he was given for a violent carjacking in Saskatoon from 2020. Among his arguments made before the Court of Appeal, Omer said the trial judge failed to consider his personal history — similar to how Gladue factors were considered in three cases the courts looked at — in crafting his sentence.
CBC News – Short-Handed Afghan Embassy Helps Immigrants, Refugees in Canada and U.S.
More than a year since the Afghan embassy in Ottawa was forced to scale down operations, staff members who are left say they now work double duty to provide consulate services to immigrants and refugees in Canada and the United States.
