“Mass Immigration – Follow the money”

The immigration figures tell a story of elite failure

Mass migration has been embraced to plug the gaps in a stuttering, low-wage economy.

Remember when we were told that Brexit would lead to a draw-bridge Britain, closed to migrants forever more? That particular Remainer scare story is now, officially, defunct.

This week, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that 728,000 more people came to live in the UK than had left in the year to June 2024. That’s three to four times the net migration the UK averaged annually during the 2010s. To put that into context, nearly the same number of people arrived in the UK in a single year as live in the entire county of Suffolk.

Lazy assumptions about the benefits of mass migration have been torn to shreds

It has become increasingly difficult to argue that migrant-driven population growth is leaving Britain better off

Nowhere is the policy failure that seems to have engulfed virtually everything the Government touches more apparent than immigration.

I don’t know why anyone was surprised by last month’s revised data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). As a source of information on the economy, the ONS has become about as reliable as a number 16 bus – so much so that the Bank of England has come to prefer the reports of its own agents in the field to the official ONS data when assessing the economy’s true state of affairs.

In any case, it has been obvious for a long time now that the ONS has been wildly understating the extent of the surge in net migration. You only need to look around you to see the transformation that has occurred in the size and mix of the population.

Ontario investigating recruiter in Alberta who helps supply low-wage foreign workers to Canadian Tire stores

Ontario’s Ministry of Labour is investigating the Alberta-based recruiter who was involved in bringing in scores of temporary foreign workers to staff low-wage jobs at Canadian Tire stores across Canada.

A ministry spokesperson told The Globe and Mail in an e-mail that it is conducting an open investigation into Allison Jones, the owner of a recruiting agency and an immigration consulting agency in St. Albert, outside of Edmonton. It did not provide any additional details about the probe.

Ms. Jones is a popular recruiter among franchisees of the Canadian Tire and Tim Hortons chains, helping franchise owners fill low-wage positions in their outlets with labour from abroad.

New immigration rules spark concerns over Canadian job losses

Immigration Minister Marc Miller introduced new regulations this week allowing foreign students to work full-time during academic breaks, a move his department admits could increase competition for Canadian workers, particularly young people seeking entry-level or summer jobs.

“This may result in increased competition for Canadian workers,” the Department of Immigration stated in a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement.

Colleges and universities sure miss the $$ they scammed dumping loads of unwanted migrants on Canadian society

Colleges and universities face job cuts, deficits amid international student cap

Ontario’s colleges and universities say the federal government’s cap on international students is taking a toll on the higher education sector as some schools face growing deficits, layoffs and, in at least one case, a temporary campus closure.

St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ont., said it has eliminated 30 administrative and support positions and warned of further job cuts after its foreign student enrolment dropped by 50 per cent.

President and CEO Glenn Vollebregt said the college is participating in a provincewide efficiency review that is expected to conclude early next year and as that unfolds, “SLC cannot guarantee that there will be no further layoffs.”

LILLEY: Trudeau’s reckless refugee policy bankrupting Canada

The explosion in refugee claims in Canada over the past few years is costing Canadian taxpayers billions in mostly unseen costs.

On Friday, CBC broke the news of the federal health program for refugees now costing $411 million per year, but that is just the tip of the iceberg shocking as it is.

Trudeau gov’t wants $411 million more to cover health care as the number of replacement migrants soars

Feds want $411 million to cover refugee health care as the number of new arrivals soars

The federal government is asking Parliament to approve hundreds of millions of dollars in new spending to cover the health-care costs of eligible refugees and asylum seekers — a budget line item that has soared in recent years as the number of these newcomers reached record highs.

The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) is designed to cover migrants who don’t yet qualify for provincial or territorial medicare. By removing some barriers to health care, the program makes it easier for refugees — many of them fleeing conflict or persecution abroad — to get the care they need on arrival.

Ford government announces tough new rules for ‘bad actor’ immigration consultants

New provincial legislation will target “bad-actor” immigration consultants who prey on newcomers with fines and lifetime bans as punishment.

Announced Wednesday in Brampton by David Piccini, minister of labour, immigration, training and skills development, the measures will set out new, tougher rules for immigration representatives that could require them to issue written contracts, show proof of their licence, and give applicants the right to see their files.

Canadians aren’t buying Justin Trudeau’s immigration promises

Justin Trudeau Smarmy Prick

Amid the last-ditch effort to reverse the wreckage of his government’s radical immigration policies, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing ahead with a series of restrictionist moves designed to signal to Canadian voters that he has heard their frustrations.

Canada Expects 1.2 Million Residents To Leave Next Year, Refugee Claims Soar

… One expected route people appear to be making is asylum claims, a.k.a. refugee claims. Canada saw 133k refugee claims made as of September year to date (YTD), up 38% from last year. More so, 63.9% of those claims were filed at inland offices, meaning those making a claim were already in the country. Inland filings hover around 50% of total annual claims in previous years, so these filings are a large part of the soaring claims.

One segment of temporary residents, international students, saw a big jump recently. According to an analysis in the Globe, about 13.7k of this year’s refugee claims YTD were people on study permits. At 4.5x the average volume seen in prior years, this volume is unheard of in Canada.

Now even far-left extremist Justin Trudeau knows that immigration has broken Canada

Migration has spiralled under his leadership, and the political backlash has been immense

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently announced his Liberal government was going to cut immigration levels for the first time in years. The number of permanent residents in 2025 will decrease from a previously announced target of 500,000 to 395,000, or 21 percent.

What caused this abrupt shift? Trudeau said in an Oct. 24 press conference that Ottawa “didn’t get the balance quite right” in the post-pandemic period with respect to significant labour shortages. Hence, the government’s decision to “pause population growth” would help adjust this economic deficiency.

Hold on. The Left-wing Canadian PM actually did something right for a change? It’s a miracle! Hallelujah!

New survey finds Canadians are feeling anxious about immigration

Canadians are feeling increasingly uneasy about immigration and its role in generating “economic strain,” according to a new survey conducted by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

Among other things, the survey found that many Canadians believe too much attention is being focused on newcomers and refugees, and that asylum seekers receive too many benefits.

Kelly McParland: Of the long list of Liberal blunders, immigration takes the cake

In a contest for which liberal-minded policy project has gone most disastrously wrong, there would have to be big money on immigration.

There are rivals, of course. The massive debts racked up to finance heavy spending on well-meaning initiatives is one, but voters don’t care much about debt until it sparks a crisis. The climate war is another, except most people view it as a worthy goal, they just don’t want to pay for it.

Migrants receive gold-plated benefits — Ottawa pivots on immigration

According to a government document circulated online on Monday, people seeking asylum in Canada can receive $224 per day to cover housing and food while waiting for application processing — that’s $81,760 per year.

Claimants in Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) operated hotels, regardless of how they enter Canada, are provided with accommodations and meals once they are relocated, says the document dated March 14, noting the average cost per room across all sites is $140 per night. The average cost per day for meals is $84.
