Gouvernement du Canada — Le Canada investit dans des services pour soutenir l’intégration économique et combler les pénuries de main-d’œuvre
Aujourd’hui, l’honorable Lena Metlege Diab, ministre de l’Immigration, des Réfugiés et de la Citoyenneté, a annoncé un financement de plus de 3,2 milliards de dollars sur trois ans à plus de 520 organisations à l’extérieur du Québec pour améliorer l’intégration des nouveaux arrivants, y compris au marché du travail, et réduire les pénuries de main-d’œuvre.

Grâce à une intégration économique accrue, les nouveaux arrivants peuvent mettre rapidement leurs compétences à profit, combler les pénuries de main-d’œuvre et accroître la productivité.
City News — Immigrants in Quebec with open work permits denied subsidized daycare
Quebec’s subsidized childcare law, also known as the Reduced Contribution Regulation, came into effect in 2006 and states that temporary foreign workers must possess a closed working permit in order to access the province’s daycare program.

She said that in previous years Quebec’s Family Ministry would not always inspect a parent’s work permit before covering childcare service fees.
