CBC News — Federal government to remove incentive for foreign workers to reduce fraud in immigration system
The federal government will no longer be granting additional points toward permanent residence to some temporary foreign workers, less than two months after an undercover CBC News and Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF) investigation revealed how easy it is to buy and sell these jobs online.On Tuesday, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marc Miller announced that applicants to the Express Entry program will no longer receive 50 or 200 additional points for working in a position supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) — a move that one immigration lawyer described as “drastic” but expected.
The Gazette — Migrant strike protests ‘accumulation of anti-immigration measures’
“A day without migrants” was the call and dozens of immigrants and their supporters answered Wednesday by walking off the job and gathering in downtown Montreal to protest against recent federal and provincial measures they say only serve to make life more precarious for them. Their demands included permanent residence and an exemption from new immigration measures for those already living in the country. Speaking to reporters, organizers decried recent restrictions on temporary work permits, reductions in the number of international student visas, delays in family reunification programs, the continued use of work permits tied to a specific employer and cuts to francization courses despite requirements that immigrants learn French.
CBC News — Brandon’s Assiniboine College shuts down 5 programs, records 78% drop in international applications
The number of applications from international students has dropped about 78 per cent at Assiniboine College in Brandon because of the federal cap on study permits, forcing the cancellation of some programs, the school’s international program manager says. “For winter and spring 2025 terms, we’ve already had to cancel or reduce intakes in courses such as office skills, baking foundations, culinary arts, business administration, accounting and finance programs,” said Sandeep Rane. It’s among several colleges in Manitoba dealing with a drop in international student enrolments because of the federal government’s cap on undergraduate permits.
National Post — What to know about immigration fraud and changes to temporary foreign worker program
Quietly included in a series of announcements about strengthening Canada’s border security and immigration system was news of proposed changes to the competitive point system that gauges a prospective immigrant for residency. During a press conference in Ottawa, Immigration Minister Marc Miller revealed that candidates with a job offer backed by a federally-approved Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) would no longer receive additional ranking points in their Express Entry System applications. The move was not included in the government’s press release listing other immigration changes, which included efforts to end “flagpoling” and giving Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada more authoritative power over immigration documents when it comes to cases of fraud or security risks.

Government of Canada — Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s 2023–24 Departmental Results Report
As the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, I am pleased to present the 2023–24 Departmental Results Report. Our labour force growth has been driven almost entirely by immigration. This is important because Canada’s aging population needs newcomers to help address demographic pressures and sustain our social programs over the long term. What we heard from Canadians is that they expect Canada to identify the right number of newcomers with the needed skills, and help set them up for success. We are introducing changes to further recalibrate international student, foreign worker and permanent resident volumes. That work has already started.
