Quebec immigration programs: wtf
Reading that Quebec will pause immigration programs for permanent residents on one website, then on another that they may welcome 10,000 more immigrants next year than they originally planned, what are we meant to think? Does anyone in that government know what they’re doing?

It means that their pathway programs to permanent residency are too popular – at current rates, they will generate more immigrants than the current party in power would prefer (i.e., more than zero). One of the pieces mentions that even if they are turning off the tap, those currently in the system will have their applications processed, which is why the number of immigrants will grow in the short term.

CTV has a piece on replacing immigrant labour with robots and AI.
