According to the latest figures from Statistics Canada, the economy grew by 0.3 percent in both September and October, surpassing predictions.

              Temporary Workers Provide Short-term Solution to Long-term Issues

              Friday, 27 December 2013 by Colin R. Singer
              A new report suggests that Canada’s increasing reliance upon temporary foreign workers to solve labour shortages could have the unintended consequence of “de-skilling” the immigrant labour pool. The report, compiled and released this month by Montreal’s Institute for Research on Public Policy, specifically examined provincial nominee programs, which often help temporary foreign workers to fast-track

              CIC Processing Errors Raise Fairness Concerns

              Friday, 27 December 2013 by Colin R. Singer
              Concerns are being raised over fairness in Canada’s immigration system after hundreds of doctors were granted immigrant status due to processing errors. The blunder, which was made public this month, occurred in a Polish processing center in 2011. Approximately 1,000 applications from doctors were processed using out-of-date guidelines, which resulted in hundreds of acceptances which

              Policy Changes Likely Won’t Offset Cost of Sponsorships

              Friday, 27 December 2013 by Colin R. Singer
              Critics are expressing concern that recent changes to Canada’s parent and grandparent sponsorship programs will not be enough to offset the financial costs of welcoming aging immigrants. As of 2014, the government will reopen the popular sponsorship immigration stream, which had been suspended after a 160,000 application backlog had increased waiting times to as high

              Experts Call for National Education Strategy to Address Skills Gap

              Thursday, 05 December 2013 by Colin R. Singer
              A new report from the Conference Board of Canada has found that in Ontario alone, the gap between the skills that workers have and the skills that employers need is costing the province almost $24-billion per year. Despite the increasing university-graduation levels, employers say that one in five positions cannot be filled. Despite being one

              Francophone Immigrants Most Likely to Be Affected By Controversial Charter

              Thursday, 05 December 2013 by Colin R. Singer
              Experts are concerned that Quebec’s controversial Charter of Values could end up driving away the much-desired francophone immigrants who help keep the language alive in the province. Immigrants from French-speaking countries like Lebanon, Algeria and Morocco have long been among the biggest group of new arrivals to the province, whose immigration system is specifically built

              Officials in Saskatchewan this month proposed changes to the province’s Immigrant Nominee Program, starting in January 2014.
