Manitoba's Employer Services has officially reopened applications for the revamped Employer Direct Initiative (EDI) as of September 2, 2025, introducing updated eligibility criteria and streamlined processes to serve businesses better.
Simultaneously, the province launched the innovative Temporary Resident Retention Pilot (TRRP) program, strategically designed to assist Manitoba employers in retaining qualified temporary residents already employed within their organizations.
These initiatives represent significant enhancements to Manitoba's immigration framework, creating new pathways for businesses to address workforce needs through improved immigration channels.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre announced plans to permanently abolish the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), citing unprecedented youth unemployment and wage suppression.
The proposal comes as TFWP permits reach historic highs under Prime Minister Carney's government, with 105,000 new permits issued in the first half of 2025 alone — despite Employment Insurance claims increasing by 7.4% and nearly 400,000 Canadians experiencing long-term unemployment.
The Conservatives plan to maintain a separate program for essential agricultural labour while implementing a transition period for low-unemployment regions, ultimately aiming to redirect employment opportunities to Canadian workers.

The Northwest Territories has secured an increase of 47 nominee spaces for its 2025 Immigration Nominee Program, bringing the total allocation to 197, following concentrated advocacy efforts by the Government of the Northwest Territories.
Minister Caitlin Cleveland announced that while this increase does not fully restore previous levels, it represents critical progress in addressing the territory's unique workforce and population needs.
The additional spaces will accommodate eligible applicants from the second 2025 intake, with assessment priority based on work permit expiry dates.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is developing an innovative AI-powered screening system to assess all travellers entering the country, with implementation expected by 2027.
The Traveller Compliance Indicator (TCI), which has already been tested at six land ports, analyzes five years of traveller data to assign compliance scores and identify potentially higher-risk individuals for secondary inspection.
While officials claim the technology will streamline border processing for 96 million annual travellers, experts caution that the system may perpetuate existing biases and unduly influence officer judgment despite human oversight.
