The Globe and Mail — Conestoga College feels the squeeze after Ottawa’s sharp reduction in foreign students
By the end of 2023, roughly 32,500 foreign students were enrolled at Conestoga, an increase of 145 per cent from just two years prior. And that boom period provided the college in Kitchener, Ont., with an infusion of cash: Revenue nearly tripled to $945-million in the 2023-24 academic year, compared to three years earlier. But things have changed abruptly for Conestoga, which had grown beyond its base in southern Ontario. As the federal government has reined in immigration – largely through a sharp reduction in foreign students – postsecondary schools such as Conestoga are feeling the financial squeeze. And because of the shift, Conestoga’s changing fortunes are having an outsized impact in the community, leading to layoffs in higher education, weaker sales for local businesses and fewer job seekers.
Government of Canada — New citizenship rules for Canadians born or adopted abroad are now in effect
As previously announced, the new law also creates a modern, consistent path going forward. A Canadian parent born or adopted abroad can now pass on citizenship to their child born or adopted outside Canada today or in the future, provided they can demonstrate at the time of application that they spent three years in Canada prior to their child’s birth or adoption. This approach supports fairness and clarity for Canadian families abroad while reinforcing the principle that real, demonstrated ties to Canada guide citizenship by descent.
CBC News — How Canada’s refugee system has changed since 2015
Ten years ago, Canada responded to the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Syria with an unprecedented program that rapidly resettled 25,000 Syrian refugees in roughly 100 days. To meet that target, the federal government accelerated every step of the process — from identifying refugees, processing visas, co-ordinating transportation and supporting their arrival and integration across the country. Data from the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada shows that there were 9,999 pending refugee claims at the end of 2015. However, as of Sept. 30, 2025, that number has climbed to 295,819.
The Globe and Mail — Trump administration steps up immigration crackdown with multiple new measures
U.S. President Donald Trump is expanding his crackdown on foreign nationals, announcing a series of measures that would further limit legal immigration and make it harder to visit the country as a tourist. Mr. Trump has frozen all asylum applications, shut down immigration from 19 countries and promised to review cases of people who have already received asylum, after last month’s arrest of an Afghan national in the killing of a National Guard member and critical wounding of another.
Radio-Canada — Des suspects d’extorsion demandent le statut de réfugié, indique l’ASFC
L’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada (ASFC) indique que 15 personnes accusées d’extorsion ont demandé le statut de réfugié au Canada. La déclaration de l’ASFC ne révèle ni la nationalité des personnes concernées ni les détails de leur demande, mais la mairesse de Surrey, Brenda Locke, est consternée d’apprendre que les suspects demandent le statut de réfugié pour échapper à l’expulsion. Mme Locke affirme que les tentatives d’extorsion ont eu un impact disproportionné sur sa ville de Colombie-Britannique et que ses habitants méritent mieux que de voir les systèmes juridiques et d’immigration être « exploités par des criminels pour prolonger leur séjour au Canada ».
The Canada Border Services Agency says 15 foreign nationals facing extortion charges have applied for refugee status in Canada. The statement from CBSA neither reveals the nationalities of the individuals nor details about their applications — but Surrey, B.C., Mayor Brenda Locke says she’s “appalled” to learn the suspects are claiming refugee status to evade deportation. Locke says extortion attempts have disproportionately impacted her city, and its residents deserve better than to see Canada’s legal and immigration systems “abused by criminals to extend their stay in Canada.”
