White House points to 'longstanding unfair trade practices' when asked about Gordie Howe bridge opening

For months, Canadian officials have said that the long-awaited opening of the $6.4 billion Gordie Howe International Bridge is dependent on various testing and commissioning tasks.

Proof of Citizenship Processing Time Rises to 12 Months As Citizenship By Descent Applications Surge

Five months ago, anyone applying for proof of citizenship could expect a decision in about nine months. Today, that wait time is 12 months, with roughly 70,400 people in the queue.

These refugees in Kenya were promised jobs in Canada. At the 11th hour, the employer cancelled the offer

A continuing care organization in Nova Scotia has rescinded job offers it had been extending to refugees for more than two years, leaving the displaced people without a path out of some of the largest refugee camps in the world.

One thing that’s become apparent over the past few years: Canada needs more skilled trades workers… a lot more! In fact, the federal government recently announced plans to recruit, train, and hire up to 100,000 new Red Seal tradespeople by 2030-2031. This is all being done through a new initiative called Team Canada St

It is not a new immigration pathway. It is the In-Can
