What do you think? Send us a textToday we're catching up with Aayush Pokharel, a graduate student in Canada who we first talked to in May. This year, the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has severely cut the number of temporary residents it allows into the country, including international students. It also chopped the number of temporary work permits for grad students like Aayush, which are usually followed by a chance to apply for PR — permanent residency. Many temporary residents in Canada now worry that their PR dream is disappearing.While Canada's new rules have led to a spike in students applying for asylum, or refugee protection, Aayush says he's not worried that he won't qualify for PR – he just wants to get a job where he can use his education.

Government of Canada reduces immigration, released by on 24 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. | Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced the 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan: a plan that will pause population growth in the short term to achieve well-managed, sustainable growth in the long term. For the first time ever, the levels plan includes controlled targets for temporary residents, specifically international students and foreign workers, as well as for permanent residents.  Immigration is essential to our country's economic success and growth. As Canada reopened following the pandemic, the needs of businesses were greater than the supply of workers available to support their recovery. We took decisive measures to attract some of the world's best and brightest to study and work in Canada, and to integrate them into the economy quickly. This meant a faster economic recovery. It also meant that robust immigration helped prevent a recession, while contributing to Canada's workforce.  In response to the evolving needs of our country, this transitional levels plan alleviates pressures on housing, infrastructure and social services so that over the long term we can grow our economic and social prosperity through immigration. This unprecedented plan offers a comprehensive approach to welcoming newcomers—one that preserves the integrity of our immigration programs and sets newcomers up for success. Canadians also expect a well-managed immigration system from the Government of Canada.  The 2025–2027 Immigration Levels Plan is expected to result in a marginal population decline of 0.2% in both 2025 and 2026, before returning to a population growth of 0.8% in 2027. These forecasts account for today's announcement of reduced targets across multiple immigration streams over the next two years, as well as expected temporary resident outflows resulting from the 5% target, natural population loss and other factors.  With this year's levels plan, we have listened to Canadians. We are reducing our permanent resident targets. Compared to last year's plan, we are  reducing from 500,000 permanent residents to 395,000 in 2025 reducing from 500,000 permanent residents to 380,000 in 2026 setting a target of 365,000 permanent residents in 2027 The Levels Plan also supports efforts to reduce temporary resident volumes to 5% of Canada's population by the end of 2026. Given temporary resident reduction measures announced in September and this past year, Canada's temporary population will decrease over the next few years as significantly more temporary residents will transition to being permanent residents or leave Canada compared to new ones arriving.  Specifically, compared to each previous year, we will see Canada's temporary population decline by  445,901 in 2025, and 445,662 in 2026, and then we will see a modest increase of 17,439 in 2027 These reductions are the result of a series of changes over the past year, including a cap on international students and tightened eligibility requirements for temporary foreign workers, implemented to decrease volumes and strengthen the integrity and quality of our temporary resident programs. The changes are designed with long-term economic goals in mind to make sure that we continue to attract the best and the brightest.  These changes will help provinces, territories and stakeholders align their capacities and allow the population to grow at a sustainable pace as we encourage institutions to do their part in better welcoming newcomers.  

On this episode of Leading Questions LIVE, Siobhan Benita speaks to Dominic Rochon, chief information officer for Canada. They discuss Dominic's broad mandate, which includes service delivery, security and privacy, as well as his current priorities such as improving digital services, enhancing cybersecurity, and modernising legacy systems. Dominic touches upon Canada's past technological failures and controversies, and stresses the role of collaboration, both within government and with provincial governments and the private sector, to bring public services into a new era of human-centred service design. The conversation also covers how to professionalise the digital workforce and implement more agile procurement practices to keep pace with technological advancements. “In the financial world…chief financial officers have to get certifications and have to keep those certifications up to date,” Rochon said. “In the federal government, that is not the case for the digital world. I'd like to explore how we get to that, particularly given how fast technology is evolving.” He highlights how such an approach is particularly needed if government is to make the most of artificial intelligence, for example. This episode also previews AccelerateGOV, Global Government Forum's annual conference held in Ottawa, where digital leaders from around the world gather to discuss how governments can overcome challenges to realise the opportunities of digital transformation. Listen to the podcast in full to hear about how Dominic is leading the way to making digital transformation happen. Public servants can register free to attend  AccelerateGOV,  taking place at the Shaw Centre on 21 October.

Yet, we really need to design our organizations for that future. And what I find is a lot of the time we're trying to put women into roles that were not designed for us…We have to change the way that we design our organizations so that they're fit for the purpose that we want them to serve, which is to get more diverse people, including women into leadership roles, particularly in an area like infrastructure.” — Tamara Vrooman Key Takeaways:The hesitancy of failing, the importance of taking risks as a woman in megaprojectsHow do we empower women to get into decision-making roles; rewriting roles designed for men  Taking mentorship further with sponsorship Divya Shah is the Managing Director at the Canada Infrastructure Bank, leading investments in trade, transportation, and critical minerals.

In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the Canadian government's ban on single-use plastics. He explains that the ban includes items such as straws, grocery bags, and takeout containers. However, he highlights a recent court ruling that may jeopardize the ban. The ruling states that these items should not be classified as toxic, potentially undermining the ban's effectiveness. Lewin delves into the importance of this classification and how it could impact the future of the plastic ban.

The host emphasizes the pervasive presence of plastic in our daily lives, including in our food, salt, and air. Of particular concern are microplastics, tiny particles of plastic that can be found in various types of food. The urgent need to halt the production and distribution of plastic is underscored as a crucial step in addressing this issue. Plastic pollution is described as a universal problem that affects everyone, regardless of gender, race, culture, religion, or age. While the immediate effects may not be apparent, the long-term consequences can be detrimental to our well-being. The episode stresses the importance of taking action to combat plastic pollution and highlights Canada's efforts in implementing a ban on single-use plastic items such as straws, grocery bags, and takeout containers. However, this ban in Canada faces potential challenges due to a recent court ruling that dismissed the classification of plastic as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. This setback is seen as a significant obstacle in the fight against plastic pollution. The episode raises questions about how the government will respond to these challenges and emphasizes the ongoing need for collective efforts to address plastic pollution and safeguard both the environment and human health. The episode also mentions that the Canadian government is aware of the plastic pollution crisis and is actively considering taking action. The host states that the government is carefully reviewing a federal court judgment and strongly considering an appeal. Additionally, they highlight the government's commitment to collaborating with provinces, territories, civil society, and industry to tackle plastic waste and pollution. The host emphasizes the urgency for the government to overcome the challenges posed by plastic pollution and take decisive action. It is evident that the Canadian government is cognizant of the issue and actively working towards finding solutions to address the plastic pollution crisis. Oceana Canada is mentioned as an organization calling on industry leaders and governments across the country to join forces in ending plastic pollution at its source. The podcast transcript highlights Oceana Canada's plea for action and support from industry leaders and governments in their fight against plastic pollution. The host encourages listeners to visit Oceana Canada's page to learn more about their plastic campaign. Furthermore, the host expresses their intention to invite a representative from Oceana Canada to discuss the setback in detail on the podcast. The overall message conveyed is that Oceana Canada is actively engaged in efforts to end plastic pollution and seeks support from industry leaders and governments to achieve this crucial goal.

Hillcrest Energy Technologies CEO Don Currie joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company is receiving support from the Government of Canada for a multi-phase demonstration program involving their Hillcrest ZVS inverter in a Hercules recreational e-boat. The program will consist of two phases. It will start with testing at the motor supplier's facility, followed by the integration and demonstration of Hillcrest's ZVS inverter in a Hercules recreational e-boat. This initiative aims to gather crucial data on continuous power levels of up to 350 kilowatts, which will have a significant impact on Hillcrest's development programs. Currie emphasized that this funding will enhance the demonstration program and provide the company with valuable integration and test data. Hillcrest is also looking to explore further collaborations with the global motor supplier to integrate its ZVS inverters into motors for various market segments, including automotive OEMs. Hillcrest's ZVS inverters play a pivotal role in electric vehicles, converting the battery's direct current into alternating current for powering electric motors. Their SiC traction inverters have demonstrated improved overall system efficiency, potentially leading to substantial cost savings in vehicle manufacturing and operation. #proactiveinvestors #hillcrestenergytechnologies #cse #heat #otcqb #hlrtf #greentech #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

I was very excited to hear the great news; however, some people are not satisfied with how long it's going to take.  Episode Where I spoke about the Mandate Letter: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/speak-up-for-the-ocean-blue/id1010962669?i=1000459936009 So I decided to talk about why it takes so long.  Do you agree with me?

Welcome to the 203rd episode of the Dean Blundell Show. We discuss the Pickering Nuclear Power Plant. Was it a false alarm? Mistake? Power outage? Training exercise? Graham was 500m away from the power plant and Tweeted out crucial information from his source on the inside. We think the government is covering something up. We look up the term “soy boy” and readdress the Shawn Matthias and Darren Dreger beef from Friday. We check in on Antonio Brown. Brown released a song and live-streamed a confrontation between the police, his baby mama and children. We close with the Zack Kassian and Matthew Tkachuk beef, the Leafs recent woes, Oscar nominations and the road to 215. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government Of Canada has reported six Northern Right Whale Deaths in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Four of those deaths came in 48 hours. The Department of Transportation has announced a temporary reduction in ship speed in the area to avoid any future deaths. This action is the same action that the government took two years ago which seemed to work. So why did the government revert back to old ways?  Do you think the speed should be reduced permanently (or seasonally)?

Today, the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, is announcing he has created two new areas of critical habitat for iconic Resident Killer Whales. These new areas build on existing critical habitat established in 2009 to protect the marine ecosystem that is necessary for the survival and recovery of the Resident Killer Whales. This announcement builds on the $167 million Whales Initiative announced in 2018 and the October 2018 investment of $61.5 million targeting key threats faced by the Southern Resident Killer Whale, including: •lack of available prey (Chinook salmon); •acoustic and physical disturbance from marine vessels; and •contaminants in the water. Specific measures already introduced to protect this endangered species include expanding vessel slowdowns, enhancing regulatory controls on contaminants and investments aimed at protecting and recovering Chinook salmon stocks. The newly identified areas of critical habitat announced today are located in the waters off the coast of southwestern Vancouver Island, including Swiftsure and La Pérouse Banks, and in western Dixon Entrance, all of which are key foraging areas for both Resident Killer Whales. These new zones will increase the area of critical habitat for endangered killer whales by approximately 6,419 square kilometers to an area of approximately 10,714 square kilometres of Canadian waters. Designating these areas as "critical habitat" ensures they are legally protected against destruction that could hinder survival or recovery of the whales.

In this special CPSA podcast, we hear from Richard Louttet, Vice-President, Education & Certification at Canadian Professional Sales Association about the very exciting news that Canadian Professional Sales Association has partnered with the Government of Canada to address the sales force skills gap.

Last year, the North Atlantic Right Whale population lost 19 individuals in the US and Canada due to ship strikes and/or fish gear entanglement. It was a surprise in Canada as Right Whales sightings were rare in the Gulf of St. Lawrence; however, with Climate Change heating up the sea, many species northern boundaries are expanding.  The Government of Canada took some major initiatives to stop the deaths of the endangered whales as they decreased ship speed in the Gulf and closed down certain fishing areas in the Spring of 2018.  There hasn't been a reported death of Right Whales this Spring yet, which leads us to believe the restrictions by the Government of Canada are working.  Unfortunately, the fishing community in the areas where fishing has been closed during these times are not happy. They say it's going to affect their revenue for the year without any compensation. In this episode, I ask you if we should be prioritizing the protection of whales over fishing communities and whether that is a viable long-term strategy?
