CTV News: Overheated immigration system needed 'discipline' infusion: minister

Posted on Tuesday, December 24, 2024 07:15 AM

News

An "overheated" immigration system that admitted record numbers of newcomers to the country has harmed Canada's decades-old consensus on the benefits of immigration, Immigration Minister Marc Miller said, as he reflected on the changes in his department in a year-end interview.

The system, he said, needed some discipline to get the country back on track.

Over the course of 2024, Miller moved to cap the number of student visas, reduced the number of permanent residents it plans to admit, made it...

Once presenting itself as one of the world’s most welcoming countries to refugees and immigrants, Canada is launching a global online ad campaign cautioning asylum-seekers that making a claim is hard.

CTV News: Canada hints at fast-tracking refugee refusals

Posted on Friday, November 29, 2024 10:16 AM

News

Canada's immigration minister says he plans to propose measures to reform the country's refugee system, potentially fast-tracking refusals of cases deemed to have little chance of succeeding.

Experts and advocates warned that could violate asylum-seekers' right to due process and could be challenged in court.
"I plan to put forward more measures. I want to reform the system. It's not working in the way it should," Immigration Minister Marc Miller told a parliamentary committee on Monday.
