The Globe and Mail — Ottawa yet to launch program announced last year that would grant permanent residency to low-wage workers
More than a year after announcing a new immigration stream that would have granted permanent residency to low-wage workers already in Canada, the federal government has yet to move ahead on formally launching the program – suggesting that Ottawa could be backing away from the plan altogether. The plan targeting low-wage workers was informally announced in April 2024, through the Canada Gazette. Consultations were set to begin last year on amending immigration laws to admit a “new permanent economic class of workers in TEER 4 and TEER 5 jobs.” But the program was not included in July’s version of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s forward regulatory plan, which details coming changes to federal immigration rules and programs over the next three years.
CIty News — Migrants returning to Venezuela face debt and harsh living conditions
he hands of Yosbelin Pérez have made tens of thousands of the aluminum round gridles that Venezuelan families heat every day to cook arepas. She takes deep pride in making the revered “budare,” the common denominator among rural tin-roofed homes and city apartments, but she owns nothing to her name despite the years selling cookware. Pérez, in fact, owes about $5,000 because she and her family never made it to the United States, where they had hoped to escape Venezuela’s entrenched political, social and economic crisis. Now, like thousands of Venezuelans who have voluntarily or otherwise returned to their country this year, they are starting over as the crisis worsens.
CIC News — Canada increases funds needed to immigrate through rural pathways for PR by over 30%
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has increased the minimum settlement fund requirement for those immigrating through the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP) and the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot (FCIP). As of July 29, 2025, foreign nationals need a minimum of $2,544 more in settlement funds to immigrate through the RCIP or the FCIP. For a family of one, the minimum funds required to qualify for the RCIP or the FCIP increased from $7,963 to $10,507 on July 29 – a 31.94% increase. The RCIP and the FCIP are employer-driven pathways to permanent residence in Canada for those looking to settle in rural or francophone communities outside Quebec.
Le Quotidien — TRAVAILLEURS ÉTRANGERS | Une force pour les PME d’ici
« Ce qui se passe politiquement ça nous inquiète. Cette volonté de réduire considérablement les seuils en immigration, qui percole dans le discours public, ça pourrait avoir des conséquences catastrophiques pour nous et pour bien des PME en région. Ça signifierait une décroissance majeure. Ce serait moins de contrats, moins de clients et donc moins d’argent à retourner au gouvernement en taxes et impôts à la fin de l’année. » Ces mots sont ceux d’Annick Lachance-Gravel, présidente de l’entreprise Lachance Gravel, une PME qui propose des services d’entretien ménager commercial à Saguenay et dans les environs.
The Globe and Mail — Minister planning new powers to clamp down on fraudulent immigration consultants
Immigration Minister Lena Diab is preparing to crack down on unscrupulous immigration consultants, drawing up new regulations that would give the industry regulator more powers, such as forcing them to compensate migrants they have defrauded. The move follows a number of inquiries into the improper conduct of consultants, including one involving an elaborate job-selling scheme targeting migrants. The College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants earlier this year cancelled the licence of Hossein Amirahmadi, a consultant the college found to have orchestrated job selling, faked payroll documents and fraudulently obtained work permits.
Radio-Canada — L’USB compte la plus grande proportion d’« étudiants fantômes » au Manitoba
Selon des données datant de l’automne 2024 d’Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada (IRCC) obtenues par Radio-Canada grâce à une demande d’accès à l’information faite auprès d’IRCC, l’Université de Saint-Boniface (USB) arrive en tête des universités et collèges de la province qui accueillent le plus d’« étudiants fantômes ». Le dernier rapport de conformité de 2024 d’IRCC indique que 38 étudiants étrangers de l’USB, soit environ 10 % du total des inscriptions internationales de l’établissement, ne se sont pas présentés en classe à la dernière session d’automne.
