Le Devoir — Premières coupes à l’aide sociale versée aux demandeurs d’asile
Le gouvernement Legault a commencé à réduire le soutien social offert aux demandeurs d’asile présents au Québec en abolissant une allocation de quelques dizaines de dollars par mois offerte à ceux qui reçoivent de l’aide sociale. Des dizaines de milliers de personnes seront touchées. L’aide supprimée consiste en un « ajustement » offert aux demandeurs d’asile pour compenser le fait qu’ils n’ont pas accès au crédit de solidarité comme les autres prestataires de l’aide sociale. La somme accordée oscille entre 15 $ et 30 $ par mois, selon la situation du prestataire (en couple, en colocation ou pas).
CIC News — Canada to increase financial support requirements for international students
Foreign nationals applying for Canadian study permits will soon require over $2000 in additional funds. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has updated its proof of financial support requirement for study permit applications. For a family of one, the minimum amount of funds required—on top of first year’s tuition and travel costs—will increase to $22,895, up from $20,635. The change, announced on June 2, 2025, will take effect for international students applying for a study permit on or after September 1, 2025. This applies to international students studying in all provinces and territories outside Quebec. International students must provide proof that they have these funds as living expenses to support themselves and any accompanying family members in Canada.
Le Devoir — Québec révise ses critères de résidence permanente pour les immigrants économiques
Il est de nouveau possible, depuis cette semaine, d’emprunter une des principales voies d’accès vers l’immigration permanente au Québec. Et le gouvernement Legault a fixé de nouveaux critères de sélection mercredi. Comme annoncé le mois dernier par le ministre de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration du Québec, Jean-François Roberge, le Programme de sélection des travailleurs qualifiés du Québec (PSTQ) est rouvert. Dès ce mois-ci, Québec transmettra de nouveau des invitations à présenter une demande de sélection permanente par le biais de ce canal, la principale porte d’entrée pour l’immigration économique au Québec.
The Globe and Mail — Canada’s most valuable import is talent – we need more of it
Many of the sweeping reflections and recommendations in this year’s Canada Day opinion pieces dealt with trade: internal barriers to it, American tariffs upon it, the attending need to diversify it, et cetera. But in a modern knowledge economy, where more than 90 per cent of the S&P 500’s value is comprised of intangible assets, Canada’s most important import is not any one good or service – it is people, and the knowledge they bring. Canada is a great country, but we face many serious challenges. Talented people around the world have solved our problems – only they’ve done it elsewhere. They know how to do what we don’t. We can build a strong, sovereign Canada by recruiting them to play for our team.
Radio-Canada — ’Lost Canadians’ citizenship bill tabled as court deadline looms
Court ruled government must pass law covering some children born abroad. Immigration Minister Lena Diab tabled legislation Thursday to restore citizenship to the lost Canadians after a court found the existing law unconstitutional. The term refers to people who were born outside of the country to Canadian parents who were also born in another country. In 2009, the federal Conservative government of the day changed the law so that Canadians who were born abroad could not pass down their citizenship if their child was born outside of Canada. That law was deemed unconstitutional by the Ontario Superior Court in December 2023 and the Liberal government did not challenge the ruling.
Global News — ‘Our town’s going to collapse’: Northern B.C. businesses demand Ottawa revisit immigration, work permit cuts
Community leaders in Northern B.C. are demanding action from Ottawa to address a workforce crisis they claim is threatening businesses. Prince Rupert is home to the third largest port in the country and, according to the Community Futures Development Corporation, offers unionized jobs which allow young people to move up quickly and afford a house within three years. But executive director John Farrell says the local economy in the northwest coast city of 14,000, is at risk due to federal government changes to immigration and work permit policies.
