La Presse – Politiques d’immigration : « Ce que Trump fait est sans précédent »
Les experts en immigration s’attendaient à ce que l’administration Trump bouleverse ce secteur après son élection en 2016. L’ampleur du chaos qui a suivi les a abasourdis.

Chronicle Herald – Atlantic Canada Immigration Down Significantly
International border and travel restrictions as a result of COVID-19 may be keeping Atlantic Canadians safer, but the significant drop in immigration is having an impact on the economy and could affect the region’s post-pandemic recovery. “You could expect that (trend) may carry through as long as the pandemic lasts for the rest of the year,” said Fred Bergman, senior policy analyst with the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council in Halifax.
Global News – Immigration Slowdown Amid Coronavirus Could Derail Economic Growth
A slowdown of immigration to Canada due to the COVID-19 pandemic threatens to derail a major source of economic and labour force growth, according to a report from the Royal Bank of Canada. The shortfall jeopardizes the ability of the country to find employees needed in sectors such as health and elder care as the baby boom generation moves into retirement over the next few years, the report says. It calls on the federal government to find new ways to encourage more immigrants to move to Canada.
