Canada designates May as Asian Heritage Month. Asians are the fastest-growing demographic in Canada, primarily due to immigration. Between 2016 and 2021, six of the ten leading countries of origin for immigrants to Canada were in Asia. Each May, Canadians are encouraged to learn, honour, and celebrate the diverse ways that Asian communities have shaped Canadian history and their continued contributions to society.
Some applicants facing refusals of their applications to work, study, or visit Canada can now expect more detail about the decision—directly from the reviewing officer. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has already begun including these new “officer decision notes” along with refusal letters for certain applicants, as of 29 July 2025. Currently, these refusal notes are only available for temporary resident applications. Additionally, foreign nationals who applied using the new IRCC Portal will not receive officer decision notes at this time.
Quebec’s statistical institute estimates the province’s population will decline by 80,000 by 2030. The institute says the population will decrease due to a number of factors, including recent government policies to reduce the number of temporary immigrants. The agency also said its estimates were based on trends related to fertility rates and international migration patterns. The agency says Quebec’s population in 2024 was close to 9.1 million. It is projecting this number will stabilize at around 9.2 million in the coming decades.

The federal government is exploring changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program that would give workers more freedom to move jobs within their industry, rather than have their permits tied to a single employer. Internal documents from Employment and Social Development Canada – the ministry in charge of the program – detail proposals to introduce a new sector-specific permit for workers in the agricultural and fish processing industries. The work permit, issued for two years, would allow workers to move between employers in the same sector as long as they have a new job offer from an employer. Currently, if workers lose their jobs, they also lose their permits.
A Toronto immigration lawyer says family members of Canadians are dying in Gaza as the federal immigration department drags its heels approving visas through a special program launched in 2024. Debbie Rachlis said Canada must speed up the approval process for the temporary special measures visa it is offering to members of Palestinian Canadians’ families who are trying to flee the violence in Gaza. Rachlis represents dozens of applicants to the program and said she is involved with “at least five cases” in which people have died waiting for word on their visa. She lobbied for the special measures program as a member of the Gaza Family Reunification Project.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has walked back last week’s pledge to wrestle some control away from the federal government to issue work permits to asylum seekers. Ford and the rest of the country’s premiers said at their gathering last week they wanted more control over immigration, usually a purview of the federal government. The Ontario premier pointed to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who cited Section 95 of the Constitution that they believed gave provinces the power to make decisions on immigration. He said the federal government was taking up to two years to issue work permits to asylum seekers.
