Canada takes action to support housing with new immigration measures, released by on 07 March 2025   | Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | March 7, 2025—Toronto—Immigration is essential to Canada's economic success and growth. To meet the growing demand for housing, Canada needs a strong construction and skilled trades workforce, and immigrants play a vital role in fulfilling these needs.  Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced the government's intent to introduce a number of new measures to support Canada's construction industry. These measures are within the scope of the 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan. They include the convening of a tripartite advisory council to assess needs in the industry and advise on new pathways to bring in the skilled workers we need, a regularization pathway for out-of-status construction workers, and support for foreign apprentices.  As our country faces a housing shortage and uncertainty in the face of tariff threats, Canada will immediately convene a tripartite advisory council comprised of federal government and union representatives, and industry leaders. This advisory council will work to identify on‑the‑ground labour needs and advise on the parameters for potential pathways that would bring in and retain the construction workers we need for the long term, with robust protections against abuse and a strong wage threshold.  In an effort to build on the success of initiatives such as the out-of-status construction workers in the Greater Toronto Area pilot, IRCC intends to create a pathway that would offer opportunities for undocumented migrants in the construction sector. These undocumented migrants are already living and working in Canada, and are contributing to the sector, and this pathway will keep them here legally so that they can continue to build the homes our economy and communities need with the proper protections.  More information about these pathways will be shared in the near future as the new advisory council meets to develop these important policies.  Finally, to support foreign apprentices in construction programs and to address the current labour market needs in the construction sector, we are also introducing a temporary measure to allow foreign apprentices to complete their studies without a study permit, effective today. By removing this administrative barrier, apprentices will be able to gain the valuable skills they need to contribute to infrastructure projects more quickly.  With these new measures, we are making immigration work for our country by bringing in the skilled workers we need to help meet Canada's housing needs while maintaining sustainable immigration volumes. | You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.

Update on 2025 Parents and Grandparents Program, released by on 07 March 2025 Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | Ottawa, March 7, 2025—Family reunification is an important part of Canada's immigration system, helping Canadian citizens and permanent residents sponsor their loved ones to live and work alongside them in Canada. Through the Parents and Grandparents (PGP) Program, the government is committed to reuniting as many families as possible. This year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) intends to accept up to 10,000 complete applications for sponsorship under the PGP Program. Given there remains a number of interest to sponsor forms in the pool from 2020, IRCC plans to send invitations to apply to randomly selected potential sponsors from that pool instead of accepting new forms. This is the same approach taken for the intakes conducted from 2020 to 2024. As of February 5, 2025, processing times for PGP Program applications were approximately 24 months for those destined outside Quebec. They are 48 months for Quebec-destined applicants due to the province's more limited family class admission targets. To minimize wait times for clients, IRCC strives to strike a balance between the number of PGP Program applications received with the number of PGP Program spaces available through the Immigration Levels Plan in future years. Changes to the levels plan, such as the overall reductions to our immigration targets in the 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan, require IRCC to recalibrate the number of new applications that are accepted for processing. IRCC understands this approach will have an impact on the families who have not had an opportunity to submit an interest to sponsor form. For those interested in reuniting with their parents and grandparents for extended periods of time, the super visa remains available. This allows parents and grandparents to visit their children or grandchildren for 5 years at a time and provides multiple entries to Canada for up to 10 years. IRCC recently made the super visa more accessible by implementing a change to the health insurance requirement. More details about the 2025 PGP Program intake will be made available in the coming months, including information about when the invitations to apply will be sent. | You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.

Canada announces 2025 Express Entry category-based draws, plans for more in-Canada draws to reduce labour shortages, released by on 27 February 2025 Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | News release February 27, 2025—Ottawa—Immigration is essential to supporting Canada's economic growth. As labour requirements in key sectors continue to evolve, it's important that Canada's immigration system is nimble and responsive to our country's needs. Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship announced the 2025 Express Entry categories, which include a new education category, to align the selection of federal economic immigrants with Canada's long-term labour shortages. For 2025, the focus of the federal economic class draws will be to invite candidates with experience working in Canada (Canadian Experience Class) to apply for permanent residence. Additionally, to meet Francophone immigration targets and meet the acute needs in health, trades and education, IRCC will conduct category-based invitation rounds in the following categories: strong French language skills, or work experience in the following fields: health care and social services, such as family physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, pharmacists, psychologists and chiropractors trades, such as carpenters, plumbers and contractors education, such as teachers, child care educators and instructors of persons with disabilities As Canada makes adjustments to achieve well-managed, sustainable growth and economic prosperity for the long term, IRCC continues to focus economic immigrant selection efforts on priority sectors, such as health care, construction and education. This allows us to issue invitations to apply to prospective permanent residents who have specific skills, training or language abilities in order to bring those in-demand professionals to Canada. IRCC will also continue to support economic growth through Francophone immigration outside Quebec by prioritizing candidates with strong French language proficiency in Express Entry. This reaffirms the Government of Canada's commitment to supporting and fostering the economic vitality of Francophone communities outside Quebec. These priorities maintain the focus on bringing in skilled workers with the potential to integrate and contribute to Canada's future, including by transitioning more temporary residents to permanent residence. | You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.

Canada renews commitment to welcome people affected by the conflict in Sudan, released by on 20 February 2025   | Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | News release February 20, 2025—Ottawa—Canada's approach to immigration supports community needs, economic objectives and humanitarian responsibilities. A key part of these responsibilities is Canada's long-standing commitment to protecting the world's most vulnerable, including people affected by the conflict in Sudan.  After violence erupted in Khartoum on April 15, 2023, Canada took on a leadership role, organizing discussions with like-minded countries to coordinate a response to the crisis. This included work to get hundreds of Canadian citizens and permanent residents and their family members out of Sudan, along with the launch of temporary and permanent immigration measures to help keep people safe and keep families together.  As part of our ongoing work to help people in the region, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today announced that Canada will resettle more refugees affected by the conflict in Sudan over the next two years and increase the spaces available under the family-based permanent residence pathway. These measures will be delivered as part of the existing Immigration Levels Plan and could help more than 7,000 additional people impacted by the conflict in Sudan.  Canada is committing to resettle up to 4,000 Sudanese government-assisted refugees by the end of 2026, and intends to support an additional 700 Sudanese refugees through private sponsorship. This includes up to 350 Sudanese nationals privately sponsored by groups of five and community sponsors for whom Canada also intends to waive the requirement for a refugee status determination document. More details will be available in the coming weeks.  The Minister also announced that the number of applications accepted into processing for the family-based permanent residence pathway will increase from 3,250 to over 5,000, which will allow Canada to welcome approximately 10,000 people under this pathway. The pathway will remain the same as when it launched in February 2024, but will no longer require the Canadian anchor to reside in a province or territory other than Quebec. We will begin accepting new applications under this pathway as of February 25, 2025. | You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.

New rules to strengthen temporary resident document cancellations, and border security and integrity, released by on 12 February 2025 Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | Ottawa, February 12, 2025—Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) updated Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations to strengthen authorities to cancel temporary resident documents. These changes give immigration and border services officers explicit authority to cancel electronic travel authorizations (eTAs) and temporary resident visas (TRVs) on a case-by-case basis, including when a change in a person's status or circumstances makes them inadmissible or no longer eligible to hold the document (for example, the person provided false information, has a criminal history or is deceased) an officer is not satisfied that someone will leave Canada by the end of their authorized period of stay the document is lost, stolen, destroyed or abandoned The changes also enable officers to cancel TRVs, eTAs, work permits and study permits issued to people when they become a permanent resident they are deceased, or the document was issued based on an administrative error The amended regulations came into force on January 31, 2025, and are published in the Canada Gazette II. These changes enhance the integrity of Canada's temporary residence programs and are expected to strengthen security at the border and within Canada. IRCC will continue to improve processes and invest in tools to secure our borders and protect Canada's immigration system. | You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.

Canada launches Rural and Francophone Community Immigration pilots, released by on 30 January 2025   | Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | January 30, 2025—Ottawa—Rural and Francophone minority communities make vital contributions to Canada's economy and culture, but they frequently face unique labour market and demographic challenges as the majority of Canadians and newcomers settle in Canada's urban centres. In particular, the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) was successful in connecting businesses and employers in remote communities with the skilled newcomers they need to thrive.  That is why the Government of Canada is introducing two new pilots—as committed to in March 2024—to help rural and Francophone minority communities attract and retain newcomers with the right skills to help their regions succeed as we work to establish the RNIP as a permanent program.  Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced the launch of the Rural Community Immigration Pilot and the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot, and the communities chosen to participate. These pilots will provide 18 communities with a permanent residence pathway to attract and retain newcomers who can fill key jobs and who want to live long-term in these areas.  The Rural Community Immigration Pilot ensures that rural communities have access to programs that address labour shortages and help local businesses find the workers they need. The Francophone Community Immigration Pilot focuses on increasing the number of French-speaking newcomers settling in Francophone minority communities outside of Quebec. This ensures the economic development of Francophone minority communities, while also helping to restore and increase their demographic weight.  Each selected community is represented by a local economic development organization, which will work with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to identify its critical labour gaps, designate trustworthy employers and recommend suitable candidates to IRCC for permanent residence. IRCC has begun training the economic development organizations, and each community will provide details and timelines on when employers and prospective permanent residence candidates can expect to have a chance to apply.  The following communities will participate in the Rural Community Immigration Pilot (RCIP):  Pictou County, NS North Bay, ON Sudbury, ON Timmins, ON Sault Ste. Marie, ON Thunder Bay, ON Steinbach, MB Altona/Rhineland, MB Brandon, MB Moose Jaw, SK Claresholm, AB West Kootenay, BC North Okanagan Shuswap, BC Peace Liard, BC  The following communities will participate in the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot (FCIP):  Acadian Peninsula, NB Sudbury, ON Timmins, ON Superior East Region, ON St. Pierre Jolys, MB Kelowna, BC |  You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.

Changes to open work permits for family members of temporary residents, Federal news release, released by on 14 January 2025 Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | Ottawa, January 14, 2025—The Government of Canada is continuing to strengthen the integrity and quality of our temporary resident programs while supporting the country's economic goals and labour market needs. As part of the broader measures announced in September 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is changing open work permit (OWP) eligibility for family members of international students and foreign workers. Effective January 21, 2025, only spouses of certain international students and foreign workers will be able to apply for a family OWP. Family OWPs will be limited to spouses of international students who are enrolled in master's programs that are 16 months or longer doctoral programs, or select professional and eligible programs Family OWPs will also be limited to spouses of foreign workers who are employed in TEER 0 or 1 occupations, or select TEER 2 or 3 occupations in sectors with labour shortages or linked to government priorities These include occupations in the natural and applied sciences, construction, health care, natural resources, education, sports and military sectors. The full list will be available on January 21, 2025. In addition, the foreign worker must also have at least 16 months remaining on their work permit at the time when their spouse applies for the OWP. Dependent children of foreign workers will no longer be eligible. OWPs that were approved under the previous measures and have not expired will remain valid. In situations where students may need more time to complete their program or where family members received a shorter work permit than the principal applicant, in-Canada family members (including spouses and dependent children) can apply to renew their work permit as long as they are applying under the same criteria as the current work permit, and the requested duration of the renewal matches that of the existing study or work permit of the principal applicant Spouses of workers covered by free-trade agreements and those transitioning to permanent residence will not be impacted by these changes. Family members who will no longer qualify for a family OWP can apply for any type of work permit they are eligible for under Canada's work permit programs. | You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.

New International Student Program regulations take effect, released by on 15 November 2024 Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | Canada's diverse and inclusive society, high-quality educational institutions and potential opportunities to work or immigrate after graduation have made Canada a leading destination for students from around the world. The International Student Program must be sustainable, and students must be protected from abuse within the system. Over the past year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has taken significant steps to ensure the sustainability of the International Student Program by rooting out fraud and protecting students from bad actors and financial vulnerability. As announced in our 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada's temporary resident population will decrease over the next few years to align with our long­-term economic goals and strengthen the integrity and quality of our temporary resident programs. Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, confirmed that new regulations impacting the International Student Program have now taken effect, including the change to the number of hours international students may work off campus that was proposed earlier this year. With this change, eligible students can now work up to 24 hours per week off campus while their classes are in session. Moving forward, international students must apply and be approved for a new study permit before changing learning institutions. This change is in line with the important work we have been doing to strengthen the integrity of the International Student Program. Designated learning institutions (DLIs) play an important role in protecting the student program against misuse. Since 2015, IRCC has been working with DLIs to strengthen student compliance reporting. There will now be consequences for DLIs that fail to submit compliance reports or verify acceptance letters. With this change, a DLI could be suspended from welcoming new international students for up to a year for failing to provide the required information. These improvements will provide greater oversight while supporting international students and safeguarding their academic experiences in Canada. | You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.

These measures apply to spouses and dependants regardless of their nationality, and regardless of whether they left on flights arranged by Global Affairs Canada, or by other means. In addition, Lebanese nationals who are already in Canada with valid temporary resident status can now also apply for an open work permit, a study permit, or a status extension at no cost. These measures will help keep families together and give Lebanese nationals in Canada a safe place to study, work and stay. IRCC has increased its capacity to process files from the region and continues to process applications from Canadians, permanent residents and their family members in Lebanon as quickly as possible.

Temporary measures to reunite families across the Canada–US border, released by on 10 October 2024 Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | Colonial borders have had profound impacts on Indigenous Peoples. They have put stress on families, kinship, cultural ties, traditional practices, language preservation and revitalization, governance, and economic opportunities. For some communities separated by the Canada–United States border, these impacts are felt on a daily basis. To address these challenges and to further advance reconciliation, as a first step, today the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced temporary measures to help Indigenous people in the United States reunite with their families in Canada and reconnect them with their traditional territories. These measures will allow eligible Indigenous people whose family members live in Canada to: work or study in Canada with some requirements waived extend their stay for up to three years (for those who are already in Canada) These temporary measures were implemented to relieve hardship on families while the federal government continues to work toward long-term solutions to address Indigenous border mobility challenges. This work is part of efforts to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN Declaration) in Canada. Indigenous people eligible for these measures can apply as of October 10, 2024. Applicants must apply in advance before they travel to Canada. Those who are already in Canada can also apply from inside Canada. Applications can't be made at the border (port of entry). Please visit our dedicated web page for details on how the measures work, who is eligible for them and how to apply. | You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.

Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced that the federal government has reached an agreement with the Government of Yukon to help temporary workers crucial to economic development in the territory eventually become permanent residents. This temporary measure will give new work permits to up to 215 temporary workers identified and supported by the Government of Yukon to continue working while they process their permanent residence applications under the Yukon Nominee Program.

Strengthening temporary residence programs for sustainable volumes, released by on 18 September 2024Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario. | Canada has a long and proud history of welcoming newcomers from around the world who support our economy and enrich our country. In response to labour shortages and the aftershocks of the pandemic, the federal government took steps to meet the urgent needs of businesses and support our economic recovery. Since then, Canada's economy has evolved, and we must continue to adapt our immigration system to respond to new pressures, including a softening labour market. Earlier this year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada announced a decrease in the number of temporary residents—from 6.5% of Canada's total population down to 5% by 2026. To achieve this goal, the federal government is taking action to manage the increase of temporary residents and hold employers misusing the system accountable. We are reforming the International Student Program, tightening eligibility requirements for temporary foreign workers, enforcing employer compliance more strictly, and making labour market impact assessments more rigorous to mitigate fraud, and more. To ensure the temporary residents we welcome to Canada can be supported adequately, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today announced additional measures to manage the volume of temporary resident arrivals, uphold the integrity of our immigration system and protect vulnerable people. IRCC made these announcements: announcing a further reduction in the intake cap on international student study permits for 2025 based on a 10% reduction from the 2024 target of 485,000 new study permits issued, and then stabilizing the intake cap for 2026 such that the number of study permits issued remains the same as 2025 For 2025, this means reducing study permits issued to 437,000 updating the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program this fall to better align with immigration goals and labour market needs limiting work permit eligibility, later this year, to spouses of master's degree students to only those whose program is at least 16 months in duration limiting work permit eligibility later this year to spouses of foreign workers in management or professional occupations or in sectors with labour shortages—under Canada's work permit programs (TFWP and IMP) Like many countries, Canada is experiencing more asylum claims as the number of displaced people worldwide continues to grow, and that contributes to growing temporary resident volumes. To align with our humanitarian responsibilities, the government has been working on several measures to address integrity issues and strengthen the in-Canada asylum system, including: implementing a partial visa requirements for Mexican nationals improving claims processing while maintaining the fairness and integrity of the asylum system, as announced in 2024 reviewing visa decision-making so that our highly trained officers have the right tools to detect fraud and reduce the number of non-genuine visitors exploring more measures to further strengthen visa integrity Actions we have taken, as well as the additional steps announced today, will strengthen our immigration system and help address the changing needs of our country. We have listened to Canadians, including our provincial, territorial and municipal partners, and other community leaders. We will continue to seek to protect the integrity of our system and responsibly grow our country. | You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link:

Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario.Canada and Mexico have maintained a deep, positive and constructive diplomatic partnership over the past 80 years. We have worked to ensure North America is the world's most competitive economic region and maintain strong bilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation. To support travel and people-to-people connections between Canada and Mexico, while also preserving the integrity of our immigration system, the Government of Canada is adjusting its travel requirements for Mexican citizens.As of February 29, 2024, at 11:30 p.m. Eastern time, Mexican citizens who hold a valid US non-immigrant visa or have held a Canadian visa in the past 10 years and are travelling by air on a Mexican passport will be able to apply for an electronic travel authorization (eTA). With the high number of Mexican citizens currently holding US visas, the majority will continue to enjoy visa-free travel to Canada. Those who do not meet these conditions will need to apply for a Canadian visitor visa. This responds to an increase in asylum claims made by Mexican citizens that are refused, withdrawn or abandoned. It is an important step to preserve mobility for hundreds of thousands of Mexican citizens, while also ensuring the sound management of our immigration and asylum systems.The application process for Mexican citizens seeking a work or study permit will not change. Mexican citizens who want to work in Canada will continue to have access to a wide number of existing labour pathways, including the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the International Mobility Program.Canada supports ongoing travel, tourism and business with Mexico. We will continue to work with the Government of Mexico to strengthen our regular pathways to immigration, and with our provincial and territorial counterparts to support a system of managed migration as well as to support those in need of protection. Canada is expanding its network of visa application centres in Mexico to better serve these clients. Today's action will relieve pressure on Canada's borders, immigration system, housing and social services, while preserving mobility for Mexican citizens who want to come to Canada.The Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) is a vital example of the mutually beneficial migration that we seek to promote regionally and globally. Canada is ready to work with Mexico to build on this program, through the modernization of a new SAWP bilateral agreement, to offer Mexican workers new opportunities, through the incorporation of year-round primary agriculture and seasonal fish, seafood and primary food processing into the program. This will benefit workers and businesses on both sides of the Canada–Mexico relationship.Canada is continuously monitoring the impacts of its visa policies for both visa-exempt and visa-required countries, as well as asylum claim trends. These challenges are not limited to one country. Any adjustment to Canada's travel requirements are made to preserve the integrity and sustainability of our asylum and immigration systems.More information about these changes, including for people in transit or with upcoming flights, is available on IRCC's website.You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.Furthermore, if yo

Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Federal News Bulletin from CIC news release. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario.Francophone immigration plays a crucial role in Canada's economic growth and promotes the vitality of Francophone minority communities and meet labour needs across the country.Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced in Caraquet, New Brunswick, a series of initiatives to support Francophone immigration outside Quebec. These measures include a new Francophone immigration policy, the renewal and expansion of the Welcoming Francophone Communities initiative, a new program to support Francophone immigration, and the implementation of the Action Plan for Official Languages—and they will all strengthen the presence of French in Canada.Francophone immigration policyThe new policy promotes the vitality and economic development of Francophone minority communities. It paves the way for tangible, ambitious and innovative actions in the short, medium and long term that will enable progress towards restoring and increasing the demographic weight of these communities. It is also based on a series of measures such as promotion and recruitment support efforts, both in Canada and abroad, particularly for specific lines of business, in order to address labour shortages. The policy will also oversee the development of a new program and new measures dedicated to Francophone economic immigration.Welcoming Francophone Communities initiativeThrough the renewal of the Welcoming Francophone Communities initiative, 14 Canadian communities will continue to receive funding to foster the integration of French-speaking newcomers. The initiative's expansion will enable the Government of Canada to select up to 10 additional communities that will, in turn, be able to create environments that support the economic and socio-cultural integration of French-speaking newcomers.Francophone Immigration Support ProgramThe new Francophone Immigration Support Program will fund innovative projects to eliminate barriers to Francophone immigration. This will make it easier for Francophone minority communities to participate in international promotion initiatives and support and recruit French-speaking candidates.The Action Plan for Official Languages 2023-2028These initiatives are supported by an investment of over $137 million announced as part of the Government of Canada's Action Plan for Official Languages 2023-2028. The implementation of all the measures in the action plan demonstrates the federal government's firm commitment to the vitality of Francophone minority communities.The Minister also highlighted that the target of 4.4.% French-speaking resident admissions outside Quebec was surpassed in December 2023, reaching approximately 4.7% from January to December 2023, according to the currently available statistical data. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be able to confirm the complete 2023 statistics by February 2024. Last November, IRCC announced ambitious, realistic and achievable targets for the next three years. The targets for Francophone immigrant admissions outside Quebec are 6% in 2024, 7% in 2025 and 8% in 2026.These measures will facilitate the strengthening, long-term growth and vitality of Francophone minority communities outside Quebec. The Government of Canada will continue to work with the provinces and territories, as well as key stakeholders, to strengthen these communities.You can always access past news from the Canadian Federal Government by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/fed/.Furthermore, if you are interest

We are back after a little break! In this episode on the Financial Classroom Canada, we talk about a few of the new changes that the Canadian Federal Government has introduced in 2023. We talk about: First Home Savings Account (FHSA) What is it? Government Savings account in which you can put money away for you and/or a partner, to save for the purchase of your first home. Who is it available to? This is available to anyone in which hasn't personally owned or has a common-law/spouse who's owned a primary residence within the past 4 years Why would someone use it? This is beneficial to someone who is looking to save money for first home and not having the trouble of looking elsewhere of how and where to store the savings. How much can one contribute? An individual is allowed to contribute $8,000 per year, to a maximum of $40,000 for a lifetime. Lifetime means that you can only ever save up to $40k in this to buy your first time, you cannot go higher than this. Tax Tip: Is good for those looking for a way to also deduct their taxable income but also have to pay $0 in taxes once you withdraw, saving you $$ Grocery Rebate What is it? A sum of money given to you by the federal government to help assist with the cost of groceries. It is solely based on income, which the threshold is $X or  Who is it available to? Anyone within the GST credit area, meaning, if you receive the GST credit, you'll be eligible to receive this rebate. How much will you receive? An average family of four with two children would receive $467, while a single Canadian would be eligible for $234 in rebates  Federal Student Loan interest eliminated April 1 So, don't worry about having to deduct this on your return anymore/ SK YOU STILL NEED TO Rental and dental benefits weren't used much Federal income tax brackets indexed by 6.3% Payday loans  Increase student loan interest limit New Carbon Tax April 1 After grocery and other rebates Why we should file tax returns If you don't you can't take advantage of any of the credits/rebates mentioned

On April 1, 2023 the Canadian Federal Government will increase alcohol tax by 6.3%. The biggest increase in over 40 years. PLUS: We drink Macnair's Lum Reek Peated Blended Malt. The Whisky Rant Podcast Ep 51.

This week Peter and Jackie catch up on the latest news and topics of interest including: Russia to cut oil production by 500,000 B/d in March BP scales back their target to reduce their oil production by 2030  The collapse in North American and International natural gas prices Waiting for the Canadian Federal Government's spring budget to learn about clean energy incentives policy The concern with articles that overpromise when it comes to clean energy technologies, including commentary on the article “Scientists Successfully Split Seawater to Produce Green Hydrogen” (OilPrice.com) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ 

This week on the podcast we discuss the Canadian Federal Government's July 2022 discussion document “Options to Cut Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions to Achieve 2030 Goals and Net-Zero by 2050.”    Joining the discussion is our guest Sander Duncanson, Partner, Regulatory, Environmental, Indigenous and Land at Osler, a Canadian business law firm.There are two policy options being proposed.  Option one is a new cap-and-trade system for the oil and gas sector in addition to the existing provincial carbon pricing systems already in place.  Option two proposes to modify the existing carbon pricing systems in each province, setting more stringent rules for oil and gas.Jackie, Peter and Sander express a number of concerns about the proposal; the inefficiency of pricing carbon higher for one sector of the economy, the potential for unintended consequences from overlapping policies, including the potential to harm to smaller oil and gas producers, and the policy could potentially face legal challenges from the provinces creating uncertainty that could ultimately slow down investment and reduction in GHG emissions. The discussion document is asking for feedback to be submitted by September 30, 2022 and sent to PlanPetrolieretGazier-OilandGasPlan@ec.gc.ca. We encourage people to participate and express their views on the proposed cap on emissions.Content referenced in this podcast:“Eradicating the Smoke Nuisance” from Energyphile.orgOptions to Cut Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions to Achieve 2030 Goals and Net-Zero by 2050.”    Please review the ARC Energy Institute disclaimer.

Church of England vicars Thomas Pelham and Jamie Franklin get together to offer a spiritual perspective on current events being joined by special guest Laura Dodsworth. This week: How to apply the teachings of Christ on non-judgmentalism to unjust political situations and commentary on the ending of Covid restrictions and the Bishop of London's response to the situation. With Laura we discuss the ongoing totalitarianism of Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Federal Government with respect to the Truckers' Freedom Convoy including the seizing of citizens' bank accounts and the violent militarised police action taken to break up the protest in Ottawa. We talk about the way that Covid-19 restrictions are resulting in mission-creep particularly with respect to central bank digital currencies. We also ask how the Canadian government's response can square with notions of liberal democracy and respect for free speech and political expression. Is the term "liberalism" meaningful or should we be speaking more in terms of the individual and the collective? Laura also wants to know why the figureheads of the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches seem to have very little conception of the notion of conscience with respect to certain medical treatments beginning with the letter "v".And, after a notorious billboard advocating the removal of JK Rowling from considerations of her own Harry Potter world, Laura goes full-on Old Testament prophetic.

Fred is Terry Fox's older brother, and he was so generous with his time to have a chat with me about Terry and the foundation. Every Canadian knows who Terry Fox is. Kids across Canada today read about him in the history books. Those who were alive in 1980 saw him on TV every morning running across the country on 1 leg and 1 shitty prosthetic. He was raising money to fund cancer research. Over 40 years after his passing at 22 years old from cancer, his foundation has now raised over $850 million. The Canadian Federal Government is planning on putting a new face on the $5 bill, and Terry is the front runner. Terry Fox is a hero, and I think Americans should know about him too.

Datametrex AI Limited has the rare benefit that most small cap companies would only dream of …. 2 successful independent divisions that are each capable of being a company maker. The first division is their Artificial Intelligence driven social media monitoring and discovery product … and this isn’t some basic social media monitoring tool for keywords. Clients include Canadian Federal Government, DRDC, Health Canada, United States Air Force and LOTTE (a $2.6B South Korean multinational conglomerate. The company announced that it has entered into an LOI to acquire 100% of Perspectum Drone Inspection Services Ltd. an arm’s length privately held artificial intelligence drone imaging predictive analytic services company. Perspectum is a drone based imaging predictive analytics artificial intelligence (AI) services company, currently focusing on environmental and safety predictive analysis. Datametrex intends to expand the Perspectum platform into the Company’s core Cybersecurity business by integrating the Company’s AI with Perspectum. “The impact of the acquisition of this AI business cannot be minimized. The demand for imaging predictive analytic reporting continues to be a large area of growth. As businesses and countries continue to work towards zero emissions and carbon neutral footprints, we believe that adding this imaging predictive AI element to our existing cybersecurity business will drive significant value for our stakeholders.”, said Marshall Gunter, Datametrex’s Chief Executive Officer. As a result of the highest level security clearances required to do this level of work, Datametrex was well positioned with deep roots in South Korea to add their second, though unintended division of COVID-19 test kit distribution. Again, this isn’t some small cap stretch trying to capitalize on a trend for the sake of stock promotion. Rather, when the Canadian Government came calling for assistance in importing and distributing COVID-19 test kits, Datametrex stepped up to the task thanks to its security clearances already in place in both countries. Since then, the company has signed multiple multi-million dollar COVID-19 test kit supply agreements with mining companies, a $20M CAD agreement with the television and film industry and various educational institutions. Sit back, relax and watch this powerful interview with Datametrex CEO Marshall Gunter.

Dr. Edd Hind-Ozan joins me on the podcast today to discuss how some researchers are interacting with Indigenous groups when it comes to science and conservation projects. Dr. Natalie Ban was quoted as saying that she would not work with Indigenous groups unless she was requested by said group. An interesting approach to move away from parachute science. I finish off the episode by discussing the suppression of science of NOAA by the Trump Administration. I discuss my experience when a similar scenario occurred at the Canadian Federal Government level when the HArper Administration suppressed science on everything ecological as it could interfere with Natural Resource Development.

Amanda Coe was a fast rising star in the Canadian business world having worked for the Canadian Federal Government in her 20's. But then a mysterious health crisis sidelined her. Coe became extremely ill and was bedridden for months. “That really cut me off at the knees,” she says. It turned out she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a bowel disease that left her with severe cramps, nausea, bleeding, and, at times, incontinence. “I had some dark moments,” Coe confesses. “And I thought if this is life, is it really worth living?” After more than a year dealing with this painful disease, Coe began her road back to health. The right medication combined with some major changes on the lifestyle front forced the disease into remission. Then Coe decided to make a major change in her business life as well turning to the health and wellness industry. She wanted to be part of the solution. “Often times it is our own health stories that drives us into the fitness industry,” she says explaining how she decided to buy into The Exercise Coach franchise in Scottsdale, Arizona. In this interview we talk about why muscle matters and how building muscle helped her come back after being weak and bedridden. “Studies show strength resistance training can add up to seven years to your life expectancy, “ she shares. “As we age we lose muscle mass. Over the age of 30, the average adult will lose 5-7 pounds of muscle every decade. Only way to maintain that strength or reverse muscle loss is resistance training. She also had to clean up her diet. Coe only eats anti inflammatory foods and, for her, that means no gluten, dairy, sugar or beans. “I implemented this change in eating a decade ago and that is what keeps me on track,” Coe explains. “The second I veer off and incorporate those foods into my diet I have a serious digestive disorders.” This powerful and painful health journey made Amanda Coe want to be an advocate for others. Now, in her 40's, she is a thriving business owner and a first time mom. “We can take control of our health and we can live our optimal life. It means taking action,” she shares. “But there are opportunities in exercise and nutrition that are non invasive, non surgical that can truly help us live our optimal lives.” The Exercise Coach has 50 locations open and operating across the country. Their mission statement is: Strength Changes Everything. http://exercisecoach.com/ The post Podcast: Why Muscle Matters appeared first on Inspired Media 360 TV - Inform | Inspire | Engage.

Today on the Infinite Game Podcast I am joined by Mike Moffatt. Mike has an extensive resume working in economics as well as policy work; we talk about his journey to where he is now, as well as his work at Ivey Business School in London Ontario and what he sees in young entrepreneurs. He also talks about what he thinks it takes to get started as an entrepreneur. We discuss his work as a senior independent economic advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Federal Government. As well as his recent work at 2020 in Ottawa Ontario.
