Toronto Star — Canadians’ views on immigration see growing split along political lines: Survey

Canadians’ views on immigration have become slightly more positive but the opinion gap along political lines has widened to a record level, according to a poll that tracks public attitudes toward immigration and refugees. The annual Environics Institute survey found that 56 per cent of Canadians believe the country accepts too many immigrants, declining by two percentage points from last year, following a dramatic increase in negative sentiments between 2022 and 2024. Those holding this view rose in Alberta and Quebec, while declining in Ontario. This sentiment is now much less evident than a year ago in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

La Presse — Le sentiment anti-immigration gagne du terrain au Québec

Le Québec se montre plus inquiet qu’il ne l’était face à l’immigration. D’après un nouveau sondage Environics, rendu public jeudi, la proportion de Québécois qui estiment que le Canada accueille trop d’immigrants est passée à 51 %, une hausse de cinq points par rapport à l’année dernière. À l’échelle du pays, 56 % des Canadiens partagent cette opinion, comparativement à 58 % en 2024. L’économiste Pierre Fortin estime toutefois qu’il faut interpréter ces variations avec prudence.

Radio-Canada — « Cette politique d’immigration, qu’elle tienne compte de notre réalité régionale! »

« On met la structure économique et la structure organisationnelle en péril dans nos régions », clame sans détour Gérald Beaulieu, préfet de la MRC de La Matanie et maire de Baie-des-Sables. Pour lui et d’autres acteurs du Bas-Saint-Laurent, les gouvernements font fausse route en matière d’immigration. Alors que des organismes de tout acabit se relaient aux consultations du gouvernement provincial, qui cherche à établir les seuils d’immigration pour les trois prochaines années (nouvelle fenêtre), Gérald Beaulieu attend son tour avec impatience. Il en a long à dire, et surtout à critiquer, sur l’approche provinciale et fédérale en matière d’immigration.

The Conversation — Marriage is hard, but it’s even harder when you immigrate together

Canadian immigration policy has long emphasized family reunification. In fact, most of Canada’s 200,000 yearly newcomers migrate as a couple or a family unit. For these families, migration means more than just starting over — it means that each family member, and the unit, must adapt to the new culture while finding ways to maintain a connection with their original culture.

The Globe and Mail — More than half of Canadians think there is too much immigration, poll finds

A majority of Canadians say there is too much immigration to this country, a new poll suggests, but the percentage of people who believe this has remained stable after a sharp rise over two previous years. The poll, which was conducted by the Environics Institute for Survey Research in partnership with other groups, also found a widening partisan divide among respondents.

CBC News — N.S. to see ‘significant’ increase to immigration program after recent cuts, says minister

Ottawa is reversing course on a decision to reduce the number of immigrants Nova Scotia and other provinces can bring in to address labour needs, according to the federal minister of immigration. Lena Diab told a news conference Thursday in Halifax the federal government will increase the number of spots allocated in Nova Scotia’s provincial nominee program. Diab met with her provincial counterparts this week who all asked for more immigrants to be allowed through the program after the federal government reduced the number earlier this year.
