The Nova Scotia Community College saw a significant drop in international students over the past year — a change that has prompted it to bolster some programs and reduce resources in others. Andrew Lafford, the college’s vice-president academic, said Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada made changes in late 2024 to how it issues post-graduation work permits, which international students can use as a pathway to eventually getting Canadian citizenship.

CIC News — Workers in these occupations stand the best chance of receiving PR through Express Entry
Working in certain occupations for as little as six months can greatly increase your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence (PR). To access these benefits, candidates must gain work experience in one of the occupations contained in Express Entry’s categories and wait for an eligible draw to be selected for an invitation. In category-based rounds of invitations, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invites candidates in the Express Entry pool who are eligible for a specific category established by the Minister to meet an identified economic or demographic goal.
CTV News — Temporary immigration slowdown slows Quebec’s population growth
The tightening of temporary immigration quickly showed up in Quebec’s demographic report. The Institut de la statistique du Québec (ISQ) said Wednesday that Quebec’s population continued to grow in 2024-2025, but at half the pace of the previous year. At the provincial level, the population growth rate fell from 2 per cent in 2023-2024 to 0.7 per cent in 2024-2025. In its demographic report for the year ending July 1, 2025, the ISQ noted that “after several years of strong increases, temporary immigration — mainly temporary foreign workers, international students and asylum seekers — declined in 2024-2025.”
CBC News — Palestinian students accepted into Canadian universities remain ‘trapped’ in Gaza by visa delays
Biometrics — fingerprints and photographs required for Canadian visas — can only be collected outside Gaza, typically in Egypt or the West Bank. Before the war, Palestinians regularly travelled through the Rafah crossing to complete the process in Egypt. But that route has remained closed for months, despite ongoing rumours that it may reopen. According to PSSAR, more than 130 Palestinian students with acceptances into Canadian universities have been waiting up to 19 months to enter the country. About 30 of them are currently outside Gaza, while the remaining 100 or so are still inside the territory.
CBC News — Trump ends temporary protected status for Somalis living in U.S.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is ending temporary protected status for thousands of Somalis in the United States, press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X on Tuesday, requiring them to leave by March 17. “Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17,” Leavitt wrote on X, quoting a Fox News article that first broke the story. Trump in November said he was immediately terminating temporary deportation protections for Somalis living in Minnesota, accelerating the end of a program that began in 1991 under former Republican president George H.W. Bush.
