Statics Canada — Socioeconomic outcomes of immigrants admitted to Canada as children, 2023
About 2 million children, aged 14 or younger, immigrated to Canada during the period from 1980 to 2023, accounting for approximately 20% of those admitted to Canada during this period. Their long-term socioeconomic outcomes, such as education attainment and wages, are important aspects for understanding their integration in Canadian society and their contributions to Canada’s economy and society over time. This release finds that, in 2022, immigrant children admitted to Canada at younger ages and those admitted as dependents of economic immigrants were more likely to pursue postsecondary education and had higher median income as young adults. These findings are based on data from the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) Children Data Module.
NBC News — Columbia protester arrested for overstaying student visa as tensions grow on campus
Federal agents arrested a Palestinian student who had taken part in protests at Columbia University last spring and had overstayed her student visa, officials said Friday. The student, identified by the Department of Homeland Security as Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian from the West Bank, was previously arrested for her participation in the protests. Her visa was terminated in January 2022 for lack of attendance, officials said. Her arrest by immigration officers from the Newark, New Jersey, field office follows the self-deportation on Tuesday of a Columbia doctoral student from India, Ranjani Srinivasan, whom DHS accused of supporting Hamas. The State Department had revoked her visa a week earlier.
City News — More than a third of students in Quebec have an immigrant background: data
More than one in three Quebec students are now immigrants in Montreal and Laval. In some cases, they are even in the majority in Quebec classrooms, according to data from the Education Ministry, obtained by Le Journal. However, the government has a very broad definition of who constitutes an immigrant. According to recent data, nearly 420,000 children and teenagers who attend elementary and secondary schools – out of a total of 1.2 million — have an immigrant background. Ten years ago, they represented only a quarter of students. Most of these students with immigrant backgrounds can be found in Montreal and its surroundings. No less than 68 percent of young people in schools have an immigrant background; a quarter of them were not born in Canada.
Radio-Canada — La fin d’un programme d’immigration inquiète des travailleurs étrangers de Sioux Lookout
De nombreux travailleurs étrangers de la petite ville de Sioux Lookout s’inquiètent de devoir la quitter à cause de la fin d’un programme fédéral d’immigration. Depuis 2019, le Programme pilote d’immigration dans les régions rurales et du Nord (PPICRN) a permis à de nombreux travailleurs étrangers de s’installer dans la localité située au nord-ouest de Thunder Bay. Ce projet mettait en relation des travailleurs qualifiés avec des employeurs dans de petites communautés rurales ayant besoin de main-d’œuvre, tout en offrant une voie d’accès à la résidence permanente.
Radio-Canada — Les cours de francisation ont repris partout dans la région
Les cours de francisation ont finalement repris aux centres de services scolaires du Lac-Saint-Jean et des Rives-du-Saguenay. L’enseignement du français avait déjà repris à Jonquière et au Pays-des-Bleuets dès le mois de janvier, mais aucune subvention n’avait été versée pour les deux autres organisations. Finalement, une deuxième vague de subventions a permis la reprise des cours dans l’ensemble de la région jusqu’au mois de juin. Les cours de francisation avaient dû être interrompus partout l’automne dernier en raison du manque de financement. Finalement, Québec a alloué de nouvelles sommes pour permettre aux établissements d’enseignement de poursuivre leur mission auprès des nouveaux arrivants.
The Globe and Mail — Minister tells immigration officials to grant citizenship rights to ‘lost Canadians’ who apply
“Lost Canadians” – people born abroad to foreign-born Canadians – could be granted citizenship through a discretionary measure ordered by Immigration Minister Marc Miller on Thursday. Mr. Miller issued the order to officials at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada as a stopgap measure, to achieve the same aim as a bill that ran out of time and failed to become law. Bill C-71 was one of 26 government bills stopped in its tracks by the proroguing of Parliament in January. IRCC officials processing citizenship applications were on Thursday instructed on the new policy of granting citizenship to qualifying “Lost Canadians,” said Renée LeBlanc Proctor, spokeswoman for Mr. Miller.
