Radio-Canada — Les travailleurs étrangers temporaires, « une nécessité », selon un entrepreneur

Les chambres de commerce de partout au Québec joignent leurs voix et réclament à nouveau un moratoire urgent sur les restrictions du gouvernement fédéral visant à réduire le nombre de travailleurs étrangers temporaires (TET) dans la province depuis l’automne dernier. Depuis février, la Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec (FCCQ) exige un moratoire immédiat sur les restrictions imposées au Programme des travailleurs étrangers temporaires (PTET). « Perdre nos travailleurs [étrangers temporaires], c’est un pas de recul, c’est de retourner en arrière », a témoigné Édith Laplante, directrice exécutive d’Aliments Asta, en conférence de presse mardi après-midi.

Reuters — ICE ordered to pause most raids on farms, hotels and restaurants

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has directed immigration officials to largely pause raids on farms, hotels, restaurants and meatpacking plants, according to an internal email reviewed by Reuters, a senior Trump official, and a person familiar with the matter. The order to scale back U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids came from Trump himself, the person familiar with the matter said, and appears to rein in a late-May demand by top White House aide Stephen Miller for more aggressive sweeps.

The Conversation — Why Canada’s Strong Borders Act is as troublesome as Donald Trump’s travel bans

Was it just a coincidence that within days of Canada’s Liberal government announcing Bill C-2, the Strong Borders Act, Donald Trump’s administration in the United States released its long anticipated travel ban? Perhaps. But the timing also highlights the longtime shared border saga between Canada and the U.S. — and should compel Canada to carve its own path. In contrast, Bill C-2 could lead to several significant and broad statutory changes that Canadians will contend with for years to come.

The Guardian — Trump promises expanded immigration crackdown after ‘No Kings’ protests

Donald Trump has promised an expanded immigration crackdown in several large Democratic-led cities as apparent vengeance for “No Kings” protests against his administration on Saturday that drew millions of people – despite questions over whether the agency in charge of the effort is set to run out of money. In new reporting on Monday, Axios claimed US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) was $1bn over budget and set to run out of money in the next one to three months.

CTV News — Points-based immigration system favours single PR applicants over married couples, experts say

Canada’s points-based immigration system can give a slight boost to applicants who are single. To get an edge, some married permanent residency candidates are saying their spouse won’t accompany them to score as many as 40 extra points out of a possible 600. Immigration lawyer Matthew Jeffery says the points system only benefits married applicants if their spouse is well-educated, proficient in English or French, and has the right work experience.
