Amid Canada’s ongoing housing crisis, the Department of Immigration is advising new arrivals to consider temporary accommodations like Airbnbs or, if necessary, shelters, until they secure a more permanent place to live.
Blacklock’s Reporter says this guidance appears in a recent Welcome to Canada guide, published in multiple languages, including Arabic, Dari, Haitian Creole, and Spanish, to assist newcomers navigating Canada’s housing landscape.
Trudeau says he could have acted faster on immigration changes, blames ‘bad actors’
OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government could have acted faster on reining in immigration programs, after blaming “bad actors” for gaming the system.
Trudeau released a nearly seven-minute video on YouTube Sunday talking about the recent reduction in permanent residents being admitted to Canada and changes to the temporary foreign worker program.
For years, I’ve demonized anyone who suggests we reduce immigration levels by calling them “racist” and “islamophobic”.
Today, I’m reducing immigration levels.

What a monster. He’s ruined the hopes and dreams of a generation turned Canada into a 3rd world shithole and he blames everyone but himself.
Two men are to stand trial on human smuggling charges this week, almost three years after a family from India was found frozen to death on the border between Manitoba and Minnesota.
Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel and Steve Shand are accused of being part of a large operation that brought Indian nationals to Canada on student visas and then smuggled them across the United States border.
The men have pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to transport aliens causing serious bodily injury and placing lives in jeopardy.
Rosie DiManno: We need to hear more from Mississauga’s mayor on Hamas controversy
Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish is no stranger to contempt-signalling.
She’s called Americans “bastards,’’ referred to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq as a “coalition of idiots,’’ stomped on a George W. Bush doll and was kicked out of the Liberal caucus for describing then-prime minister Paul Martin as “weak.’’ That was in her MP era.
Which is merely to suggest that theatre of the absurd is right in the mayor’s wheelhouse.
This is a good rant by Rosie DiManno of the Star against Mississaugastan Mayor Carolyn Parrish but as I posted on X it misses the mark.
Where DiManno and others go wrong is in their refusal to recognize that Parrish isn’t the problem her constituents are.
Instead we get over the top outrage at the Nelson Mandela slur and a recitation of the memorial creators prolific Islamist lunacy.
Parrish and Firas Al Najim are good lightening rods for Rosie’s Two Minute Hate but they’re the symptom not the disease. Islam is.
Parrish is loathsome but she’s not stupid and knew her Islamist support base would back her against demands to ban the Sinwar memorial and nothing says that better than yesterday’s videos of the Sinwar celebration (See below).
I can’t wait for Justin Trudeau’s statement of outrage.
If Oct 7 has taught us anything it is that support for Israel’s destruction has deep and wide support among the Muslim diaspora, our schools, universities and the political elites.
Will anything be done about Carolyn’s constituents?
You know the answer.
The elites who enthusiastically imported and continue to coddle the Islamists now cosplay their support for the Jews while simultaneously condemning our Islamophobia.
You and I are expected to serve as props in what amounts to an elite power struggle.
No thanks. I refuse to be cannon fodder for an elite who have demonized me as an Islamophobe and smeared me as a racist oppressor in their DEI struggle sessions.
Word of advice, fear who may follow Parrish as mayor and make sure any solution you offer to deal with Carolyn’s supporters includes Mass Deportation.

Canada’s parliamentary budget officer says the federal government is overestimating the impact its new immigration plan will have on the country’s housing shortage.
In October the Liberal government announced it was cutting the number of permanent residents allowed into the country between 2025 and 2027.
Maria Alfaro has built a life in Canada with two hard-earned postgraduation diplomas in human resources and organizational management.
Since arriving here more than five years ago, the former international student from El Salvador has made new friends, joined a church and worked as an administrative assistant at a Toronto law firm.
Lately she is feeling deflated as the window of her Canadian dream is closing and her days in the country are numbered.
Not bloody likely, the Trudeau government has already lost track of an earlier cohort of 1 Million temporary residents: A million more non-permanent residents live in Canada than official figures say, ministers told

Immigration targets slashed! Drastic reduction in temporary residents. Canada to reduce new immigration by 21 per cent.
Headlines like these dominated the news after Ottawa announced it was reducing Canada’s intake of permanent residents by 21 per cent over the next three years, alongside new measures to bring the population of temporary immigrants into line with goals for it.
With a crowd gathered inside, and pro-Hamas demonstrators outside attempting to disrupt the event, The Abraham Global Peace Initiative (AGPI) proudly hosted a sold-out evening to honour former Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper with the Defender of Israel Award. In an atmosphere charged with gratitude, AGPI’s honorary chair, Mr. Paul Godfrey, warmly introduced Harper, emphasizing his lasting impact on Canada-Israel relations and his unwavering dedication to democracy in an ever-shifting world.
What happened? Seriously?
Western democracies are not pushing back on violent Muslims who are seeking to dismantle our way of life, said Yasmine Mohammed, a women’s rights activist and author who was forced to marry an al-Qaida terrorist when she was 19.
“We’re rolling out the red carpet. And if anybody tries to say anything, then that person is demonized as an Islamophobe or a racist or a bigot or whatever, just for speaking up against what any normal, decent human being would be speaking up against,” she said.
A care worker who joined a group of masked men and livestreamed them making racist comments on TikTok during a Staffordshire riot has been jailed for nine months.
Cameron Bell, 23, was caught on CCTV wearing her work uniform as around 20 people, many armed with planks of wood and what appeared to be lengths of metal, walked through Tamworth town centre on the night of August 4 – the day after a riot erupted in Hanley.

More than 10,000 foreign student acceptance letters from Canadian colleges and universities have been flagged as potentially fraudulent this year, according to the top immigration official in charge of international students.
Enhanced checks by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada have found scores of would-be foreign students who said they had a genuine place to study may have been attaching a fraudulent acceptance letter to their application to get into Canada.
International students filed almost 14,000 asylum claims while in Canada over the first nine months of this year, a record reached even as the number of new study permits issued to students fell significantly.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller said the increase in asylum claims from people in the country on study permits appears to include false ones filed by students who have been counselled to do so by outside consultants. He cited anecdotal evidence from department officials and the lack of change in conditions in source countries.
Immigration Minister Marc Miller on Wednesday said “the age of unlimited supply of cheap foreign labour is over,” and that employers may need to offer higher wages to attract more Canadian workers.
Speaking to reporters after addressing the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, Miller also suggested the federal government may be looking at boosting enforcement resources to crack down on irregular migrants who don’t leave Canada, and addressed the need for mutual enforcement of the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S.
The damage is done.
(Bloomberg) — Canadians broadly support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to drastically slash immigration targets, but the move has done little to boost his waning popularity, a new poll suggests.
Despite three in four respondents agreeing with the immigration reduction, just over half said it has no impact on their impressions of Trudeau, according to a survey by Nanos Research Group for Bloomberg News. Some 17% stated it negatively affected their opinion of the prime minister, while 28% reported a positive impact.
The cuts are just cosmetic.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is calling out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for hundreds of thousands of migrants unaccounted for in Canada’s asylum system.
“Why is Canada’s immigration system so broken?” said Poilievre on social media on Tuesday.
