Pathways to Prosperity: Canada

Une majorité d’élus fédéraux ont adopté lundi une motion réclamant la révision des cibles d’immigration dès cette année et la tenue d’une rencontre entre premiers ministres sur la question. Les conservateurs et les néo-démocrates se sont ralliés à l’initiative bloquiste. Le texte appelle à ce que le gouvernement dépose, dans les 100 jours, « un plan de révision » des niveaux annuels de nouveaux résidents permanents « en fonction de la capacité d’accueil du Québec, des provinces et des territoires », et ce, « dès 2024 ».

A failure of management, “glaring disregard” for policies, controls and transparency and dismal efforts to track spending drastically drove up the cost of the much-maligned ArriveCan app, the federal spending watchdog says.

The federal government launched the app in April 2020 as a way to track health and contact information for people entering Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to digitize customs and immigration declarations.

A staunch defender of Indigenous rights and culture in Canada says he’s not worried that a record number of immigrants are making their way into the country.

Instead, Chief Allan Polchies Jr. of the New Brunswick-based Sitansisk (St. Mary’s) First Nation is embracing newcomers and applauding them for a willingness to learn about Aboriginal customs and for their overall commitment to make a better society.

The sounds of a drum and the national anthem of Chad echoed through the sanctuary at Knox United Church Thursday — a tune familiar to Raymond Ngarboui, for whom the north-central African country was once home.

He came to Canada by way of Cameroon at the end of 2005 as part of a federal government-sponsored refugee program, but he’s aware not everyone has that kind of opportunity.
