Toronto Star — Canada’s education sector has a new idea to lure international students back. Here’s what it is
Almost two years after Ottawa made a 180-degree turn to rein in international students, Saskatchewan Polytechnic president Larry Rosia has a new problem to worry about. International enrolment has taken a nosedive in Canada ever since the federal government cut and capped the number of study permits, and put restrictions on work permits and permanent residence. The immediate impacts have been felt by colleges and universities across the country, and Rosia’s college has faced tuition revenue losses, staff layoffs and program cancellations. But another challenge is that some schools are having trouble just filling out the limited quotas they receive.
CTV News — Trigger for new immigration powers ‘intentionally not defined’ in border bill: Diab
Immigration Minister Lena Diab says the definition of a “public interest” event that would allow her department to pause or revoke immigration applications is “intentionally not defined” in new legislation. Diab told the House of Commons immigration committee today the definition was left open-ended in the government’s new border security bill, C-12, to allow Ottawa to respond to unforeseen events. “It is intentionally not defined in the legislation, as I said, to allow for maximum flexibility for the government to respond in a range of unforeseen circumstances that threaten the public interest,” Diab told the committee.
Global News — Carney is set to announce immigration plan. Where do levels stand now?
Canada’s new immigration plan will be in focus as the federal government prepares to table its budget next week, with Prime Minister Mark Carney saying a new plan will be part of that. Speaking to students at the University of Ottawa last week, Carney said “this budget will include Canada’s new immigration plan to do better for newcomers and for everyone.” Each year, the government announces the number of permanent residents it plans to bring in over the next few years. Last year, the government also started setting targets for temporary immigration. For the first time, Canada also set target levels for temporary residents, with the aim of reducing temporary resident volumes to less than five per cent of the general population.
CTV News — Federal officials are not sure when immigration levels plan is coming
Immigration department officials do not know if Prime Minister Mark Carney’s promise to include Canada’s new immigration plan in the federal budget next week will be the full scope of the annual targets for newcomers to Canada. Carney has said the government is committed to getting immigration “under control” and plans to reduce the number of temporary residents from about seven per cent of the population to five per cent by the end of 2026. Carney pledged in a pre-budget speech on Oct. 22 that Tuesday’s budget will include a new plan. The Canadian Press reached out to Immigration Minister Lena Diab’s office for comment, but the query was forwarded to the department.
City News — More than half of Toronto, GTA residents agree with current reduced immigration levels: poll
Ten months after the federal government changed its immigration laws to reduce and restrict the number of immigrants coming to Canada, half of Toronto and the GTA say nothing has changed in terms of the government’s management, but they agree with the current reduced levels, according to a new poll. Just 23 per cent in Toronto said the federal government is managing the immigration system better, while 27 per cent said it was worse, especially with respect to its impact where those polled lived. In the GTA, 27 per cent said it was better, while 22 per cent said it was worse.
Despite $200 million earmarked for its ambitious Volt-Age electrification research project, Concordia University is struggling to attract top international talent — a problem university leaders say stems from Quebec’s shrinking intake of global expertise. “Quotas and Quebec’s image (as an unwelcoming place) make it difficult to attract international students for the research project,” which is in a sector economically crucial for Quebec, Concordia president Graham Carr told a National Assembly committee on immigration levels last week.
