CBC News — Quebec reports high immigration, record low fertility in 2024
Despite a downward trend, Quebec still reported nearly record-high population growth last year due to immigration, even as the province’s fertility rate reached its lowest level on record. Non-permanent residents — including temporary foreign workers, international students and asylum seekers — were responsible for much of the province’s population growth in 2024, according to a new report from Quebec’s statistics agency. Quebec’s total population increased by about 155,000 in 2024, due entirely to immigration, and reached about 9.1 million in January 2025. That’s down from the record growth of nearly 200,000 people in 2023, but is otherwise the highest increase on record, even as deaths outnumbered births in the province for the first time.
Radio-Canada — Un « gigantesque » réseau de passeurs à la frontière canado-américaine démantelé
Des passeurs mexicains ont utilisé le Québec pour introduire illégalement, chaque semaine, des centaines de migrants au nord de l’État de New York. Le sud du Québec était le terrain de chasse d’un important réseau criminel mexicain, qui n’hésitait pas à utiliser et à recruter des migrants endettés pour agrandir son réseau, d’après la justice américaine. Entre le 30 juin 2023 et le 30 avril 2024, cette organisation bien rodée, dirigée par des ressortissants mexicains installés illégalement aux États-Unis, a permis à des milliers de migrants de traverser clandestinement la frontière canado-américaine.
La Presse — Les demandes d’asile ont doublé au poste frontalier de Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle
L’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada indique que 2733 demandes d’asile ont été déposées en avril au poste frontalier de Montérégie, contre 1356 en mars et 755 en février. Il s’agit d’une multiplication par quatre par rapport à la même période l’an dernier, lors de laquelle 670 demandes d’asile avaient été déposées au poste frontalier. Ces chiffres vont à l’encontre de la tendance des demandes d’asile au Canada, qui ont considérablement diminué depuis l’an dernier.
CBC News — Quebec border sees asylum claims double between March and April
Asylum claims doubled at a Quebec border crossing in April as the Trump administration seeks to strip legal protections from hundreds of thousands of migrants in the United States. There were 2,733 asylum claims last month at the Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle port of entry, south of Montreal. That’s up from 1,356 claims in March and 755 in February, according to data from the Canada Border Services Agency. The April total represents a fourfold increase over the same month last year, when there were 670 asylum claims at the Quebec border crossing. The numbers run counter to the trend in refugee claims across Canada, which have declined dramatically since last year.
CBC News — Colleges and universities in northeastern Ontario suspend programs, with sharp drop in international students
After a period of unprecedented expansion, a bust is following a boom, not in factories or in mines as is usually the case, but in classrooms and on campuses. In the upcoming academic year, colleges and universities across northeastern Ontario are suspending programs to cope with plummeting international enrolment as stricter immigration rules take effect, and the province is preventing schools from raising tuition fees for Canadian students.
CBC News — More newcomers are learning French in hopes of improving their chances to stay in Canada permanently
The pursuit for PR is becoming cutthroat. As of January, Canada is estimated to have 3.02 million temporary residents but there are only 395,000 PR spots available this year. Hence, Sidhu said, the rush to learn French. While struggling with the language, the international student from Punjab, India, said he has been practicing it rigorously « around two hours every day » to bolster his application. He worries that in the next draw, the cutoff points would be higher and hopes learning French becomes his saving grace. CRS is a ranking system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for immigrants applying for a permanent residency, using factors like age, level of education, English proficiency and work experience.
