Francopresse – L’immigration francophone hors Québec reste timide
Le Canada compte 1,3 million de nouveaux immigrants depuis le dernier recensement. Selon le rapport de Statistique Canada dévoilé le 26 octobre, le nombre total d’immigrants au pays, porté à 8,3 millions, franchit un « seuil historique ». Selon la première langue officielle parlée, l’immigration francophone balance entre 2,1 % et 3,4 % de la population immigrante récente. Le nombre d’immigrants d’expression française ne rivalise pas avec le nombre d’immigrants anglophones. Hors Québec, neuf immigrants récents sur 10 ont déclaré l’anglais comme première langue officielle parlée.
Radio-Canada – Les immigrants représentent près du quart de la population canadienne
Les immigrants reçus et les résidents permanents représentaient 23,0 % de la population en 2021, soit la plus forte proportion observée dans l’histoire du pays, dit Statistique Canada. Dans ces nouvelles données tirées du plus récent recensement, l’agence fédérale précise que le Canada est également le pays ayant la proportion la plus importante d’immigrants au sein du G7.En 2021, le Canada a aussi dépassé son précédent pic de population immigrante, qui remontait à exactement un siècle, en 1921, avec 22,3 % d’immigrants.
Globe and Mail – Canadians More Supportive of Immigration Than Ever, New Poll Finds
Days ahead of the federal government’s release of its multiyear immigration targets, the latest results in an annual poll suggest Canadians support current immigration levels more than they have in nearly half a century. The poll, conducted by the Environics Institute for Survey Research, found 69 per cent of those surveyed were in support of current levels of immigration, compared with just 35 per cent in 1977.
Globe and Mail – Parliament Votes to Help Uyghurs and Condemn Genocide in China
Canadian MPs voted 258 to 0 to endorse a report calling on Ottawa to extend special immigration measures that would grant refuge to Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities fleeing repression from China. The adopted motion was to concur, or agree with, a recent report by the House of Commons standing committee on immigration committee that said Canada needs to open its doors for these minorities because they “face an ongoing genocide” in China. This repeated a strong condemnation that angered Beijing in 2021.
Financial Post – CIBC CEO Calls for Overhaul of Immigration Policy, Highlighting Threat Posed by Labour Shortages
The leader of one of Canada’s most influential companies called for an overhaul of the country’s approach to immigration, arguing that professions too often undervalue skills acquired abroad, that housing has become so expensive that prices risk deterring talented foreigners, and that employers tend to pay lower wages. The chief executives of Canada’s biggest companies generally let their lobbyists and trade associations talk for them, at least in public, so Dodig’s decision to take such a public stand on immigration suggests the issue has become top of mind for the country’s corporate elite.
Toronto Star – Will a Former Refugee’s Trip to See His Dying Father Cost Him His Status in Canada?
After 12 days in Iran with his dying father, Medhi Ghamoshi Ramandi returned to Toronto on Sept. 23, 2019, via Armenia. He was immediately stopped and held for an investigation by the Canada Border Services Agency. His offence was possessing a passport from the same regime that he had run away from and “reavailing” himself to Iran. To the Canadian authorities, that suggested he no longer required Canada’s protection and that he could be stripped of his refugee status.
