In October 2020, the Government of Canada announced its objective of admitting over 1.2 million new permanent residents between 2021 and 2023. This is the population equivalent of the Province of Manitoba, and there are calls for even higher levels of immigration in the coming years. These immigration levels are needed, but are they enough to promote future Canadian prosperity?
Un an après le début de la pandémie, la pénurie de main-d’œuvre demeure criante dans la Capitale-Nationale, comme partout ailleurs au Québec. Les gestionnaires misent principalement sur l’immigration pour remonter la pente, selon un sondage du Conseil du patronat du Québec (CPQ) qui sera publié lundi. Dans la région de Québec, plus de la moitié des entreprises (54 %) disent avoir refusé un contrat en raison du manque de personnel, révèle le sondage du CPQ, rendu public lundi.
Richard Xu and Sarah Huang were eager to learn after coming to Canada. English lessons weren’t needed because they were already fluent. But they didn’t know any French. Today, the married couple are part of the free French lessons for newcomers program put on by the Coopérative d’intégration francophone of Prince Edward Island (CIF) and the College Communautaire Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB).
Canada’s “open” work permits for Hong Kong people, which will allow residents to get job experience in Canada, were officially made available on February 8. But the new pathway to permanent residency will only be introduced later this year, the Canadian government says, prompting concerns from some immigration advocates who say more easily accessible programmes are needed for people from Hong Kong, especially those seeking asylum.
The first asymptomatic testing event for newcomers to Canada took place Saturday and Sunday at the YMCA Centre for Immigrant Programs on Bayers Road. The event was hosted by Nova Scotia Health and the province alongside groups like the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia, YMCA and Halifax Refugee Clinic. Margaret Angus, a spokesperson for Nova Scotia’s health authority, said there was a push to get more participants on Sunday after organizers saw fewer people than they hoped to see on Saturday.
It is just a small blue church in Halifax’s Fairview neighbourhood, but it represents family to members of the growing refugee and immigrant community in the area. Jean Serge Mangapi, a member of the congregation, was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo but spent most of his life as a refugee in Kenya before migrating to Canada in 2015. He said after arriving in his new home country, he was concerned about finding friends and fitting in to a community. Being part of the church helped him to feel a sense of belonging.
