Radio-Canada – Immigration : Québec incapable de fournir des études sur sa capacité d’accueil
Ces dernières semaines, le gouvernement Legault a répété que la capacité d’accueil du Québec est limitée à 50 000 immigrants par année. Or, le MIFI n’est pas en mesure de fournir une seule étude qui soutient cette affirmation.

Toronto Star – Ukrainian Refugees in N.L. Hit with Car Insurance Rates Five Times Provincial Average
Ukrainians who fled the Russian invasion of their country and arrived in Newfoundland are being asked to pay thousands of dollars for car insurance, and advocates say the high rates are complicating refugees’ efforts to settle in the province. The Canadian Press viewed two auto insurance quotes provided to Ukrainian refugees in St. John’s — one for $5,592 a year and another for $8,288 a year.

Global News – NDP Alleges Feds ‘Lost’ 2,900 Applications of Afghans Who Worked for Canada
The status of 2,900 applications from Afghans vetted by the Department of National Defence (DND) remains a mystery, one month after senior DND officials testified that only 900 of 3,800 vetted applications had been approved by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) department. “That means that the government, the immigration department, has lost some [2,900] files,” NDP Immigration Critic Jenny Kwan told Global News.
