Canada's move to suspend most private refugee sponsorships has surprised community groups and individuals who have long supported thousands of refugees.
The program gained significant attention in 2015 when the government urged the country to welcome thousands of refugees.
On November 29, private sponsorships were paused, except for select organizations with agreements, to tackle growing application backlogs.
Critics, however, believe the suspension sends a discouraging signal amidst a global refugee crisis.

Canada takes action to reduce fraud in Express Entry system
As part of ongoing efforts to prevent and reduce fraud, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced that Express Entry candidates will no longer receive additional points for having a job offer.
This temporary measure will reduce fraud by removing the incentive to illegally buy or sell labour market impact assessments to improve a candidate’s chances of being selected to come to Canada as a permanent resident. This change will come into effect in spring 2025.

As announced by the Government of Canada as part of Canada’s Border Plan, work and study permits will no longer be provided to flagpolers at a port of entry, effective December 23 at 11:59 pm ET.
Flagpoling occurs when foreign nationals who hold temporary resident status in Canada, leave Canada and, after a visit to the United States or St. Pierre and Miquelon, re-enter to access immigration services at a port of entry.

Major Changes Coming to Canada
Immigration Minister Marc Miller has announced major reforms aimed at enhancing fairness and integrity within Canada’s immigration system:
No Additional Points for LMIA Job Offers: Express Entry candidates will no longer receive bonus points for job offers supported by an LMIA, reducing fraud and ensuring a fairer selection process.
Enhanced Authority for Immigration Officials: Officers will gain expanded powers to suspend, amend, or cancel visas and applications in cases of mass fraud, enabling faster responses to critical issues.
Ban on Flagpoling: Temporary residents in Canada must apply online for visa or permit extensions, as crossing the border for expedited processing will no longer be allowed.
Streamlined Asylum Process: The system will fast-track the handling of illegitimate asylum claims, aligning with measures already implemented in the U.S.

The Quebec government is tightening controls on immigration by suspending two major programs that are pathways to citizenship.
Immigration Minister Jean-François Roberge announced the moratorium on social media late Wednesday, saying the province wants to “better regulate” the arrival of newcomers to Quebec.
The government under Premier François Legault is temporarily freezing two key programs that lead to a Quebec Selection Certificate, which allows immigrants to eventually apply for permanent Canadian residency.
