Citing publicly available data, the Institut de recherche et d’informations socio-economiques contends recent arrivals are faring better than provincial government claims
Quebec Immigration Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette responds to reporters' questions at the legislature in Quebec City on Oct. 9, 2018.A Quebec think tank says the province’s plan to cut immigration levels is misguided and will not accomplish its intended goal of better integrating newcomers.
Researcher Julia Posca says the employment rate among immigrants has risen steadily over the past decade, and almost 60 per cent of immigrants who arrive in Quebec are fluent in French.While Posca says the employment rate for immigrants still lags behind that of the general population, part of that is attributable to how the province recognizes newcomers’ work and education experience.
Quebec Immigration Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette tabled Bill 9 in February, which lays down a legal framework that would overhaul the system for selecting newcomers to the province and allow it to be more selective.
