CBC News — Sask. reboots foreign worker nominee program with focus on health care, ag, trades
The province is rebooting its Saskatchewan immigrant nominee program with stricter criteria, ending a five-week pause in applications that started after Ottawa slashed the number of available spots for foreign workers in the province. The nominee program is meant to address labour shortages by having immigrants fill vacant positions. The rebooted program moves nominees in three sectors to the front of the line and reworks rules to deal with the federal government’s new, lower nominee allocations for provinces, according to a news release from the Ministry of Immigration and Career Training.
CBC News — Toronto city council sounds alarm on planned federal cuts to shelter funding program
Toronto council is sounding the alarm this week after a new report highlights major federal funding cuts that will hurt the city’s ability to help newcomers who can find themselves relying on local shelters and other services. Gord Tanner, general manager of Toronto Shelter and Support Services, told councillors that the federal government’s planned federal cuts to the Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP) will drop from 95 per cent this year to 75 per cent in 2026 and 50 per cent in 2027. The federal program is the main source of funding for Toronto’s refugee response, and reimburses 95 per cent of the city’s expenses, the city says.
CTV News — ‘I feel so sad’: English language programs cancelled in Alberta following federal funding cuts
We’re learning more about the impacts of federal funding cuts to language courses designed for newcomers to Canada, with at least two post-secondary schools in Alberta closing their programs. This week, staff at Lethbridge Polytechnic are learning how they’ll be affected once the school’s English Language Centre closes at the end of June, while Bow Valley College (BVC) in Calgary announced it was discontinuing its language programs at the end of April. Saadat worked as a social researcher in Afghanistan before the Taliban forced him to flee to Canada a year ago. BVC announced in late February it will discontinue its Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) program at the end of the current term in April, due to funding cuts from Ottawa.

Premier François Legault hailed Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s promises on immigration on Thursday, but seemed to reserve judgment on Liberal leader Mark Carney. Quebec’s Premier presented his traditional “grocery list” for federal party leaders on Day 5 of the election campaign, which runs until April 28. Legault focused on two priorities: reducing the number of temporary immigrants and protecting key sectors of the Quebec economy to ensure prosperity in the context of a tariff war with the United States.
Radio-Canada — François Legault salue l’engagement de Pierre Poilievre sur l’immigration temporaire
La promesse du Parti conservateur du Canada (PCC) d’accorder au Québec le pouvoir de sélectionner la majorité des immigrants temporaires issus du Programme de mobilité internationale (PMI) met en joie le premier ministre François Legault.

Il a aussi invité les autres aspirants au poste de premier ministre du Canada à prendre un engagement similaire.
La Presse — La réalité des demandeurs d’asile et leur quête de dignité
Les auteures réagissent à l’article « Explosion des demandes d’asile – Un avocat met fin à sa pratique privée1 », publié le 24 mars. Dans un contexte où les discours anti-migrants se multiplient, il devient essentiel que le traitement médiatique des réfugiés reflète leur véritable réalité et humanité. Les généralisations et les stéréotypes négatifs alimentent la méfiance et l’incompréhension, faisant abstraction de la complexité des situations vécues par ceux qui cherchent refuge. Si chacun a droit à ses opinions, il est essentiel de rectifier les faits en se basant sur des données impartiales.
