A recurring theme in this four-part series of articles devoted to Brampton will be the city’s immigration-fuelled population growth. Between the 2011 and 2016 censuses, the Brampton population grew by 13 per cent, to nearly 600,000, and it is expected to reach 764,000 people in 2021. The municipal government predicts that by 2041, there will be roughly 900,000 people living in the city.
Canada’s immigration minister has approved a new policy allowing Yazidi refugee families in this country to sponsor extended family members still languishing in camps in Syria. The federal government’s initial program aimed to resettle Yazidi women and girls who were directly affected by ISIS violence, as well as their spouses, children and dependents. However, because of the volatile environment, many refugees arrived in Canada with few family members joining them. This new policy extends the time frame for sponsorship and widens the eligibility criteria.

Immigration policy isn’t just the laws made by the federal government. It is also the actions of lower levels of government with no jurisdiction over immigration in seemingly unrelated policy areas that can shape the lives of immigrants. The city of Brampton makes for a great case study in how municipal policy and federal law mix to create immigration policy at the street level.
After a decade of advocacy from the Cooper Institute, the P.E.I. government is moving to improve labour protections for temporary foreign workers in farmers’ fields, fish plants and other workplaces. Earlier this month, Economic Growth Minister Matthew MacKay tabled a bill in the P.E.I. legislature aimed at providing better protection for migrant workers from exploitative practices of overseas recruiting agencies.
