A recent Postmedia-Leger poll reveals that most Albertans back Premier Danielle Smith's plan to limit temporary immigrants' access to provincial services.
The survey found 63% support for restricting healthcare, education, and social programs to citizens, permanent residents, and provincially approved immigrants.
This comes as Alberta faces a $9.4-billion deficit and strained public systems due to record immigration. Smith plans to present 9 referendum questions later this year, with healthcare emerging as voters' top concern at 24%.
The poll surveyed 1,001 Albertans between March 2 and 4, 2026. #alberta_immigration, #healthcare_access_restrictions, #canada_immigration,

Canada's International Experience Canada program has introduced two new opportunities for young professionals.
The Inov Contacto initiative now welcomes participants from Portugal, while Taiwan's Global Pathfinder Initiative opens doors for Taiwanese applicants.
Both programs fall under the Young Professionals stream of the International Mobility Program, which promotes cultural exchange and work experience between Canada and partner countries.
These bilateral arrangements strengthen Canada's commitment to fostering international talent and creating pathways for skilled workers.
The additions were announced by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on March 9, 2026, expanding opportunities for youth from these regions.

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) introduced new contact procedures effective March 2, 2026.
Applicants must now submit inquiries via designated web forms instead of email. This shift aims to make the application process more efficient and cut down response times. French-speaking applicants can still reach out through the immigreraumanitoba.com mailbox.
Program officials ask those waiting for replies to earlier emails not to resubmit requests, as duplicate submissions slow down processing for all users. The MPNP team continues to work through inquiries submitted before the deadline.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has once again prioritized healthcare professionals in the latest round of targeted invitations through the Express Entry system. This strategic focus underscores the government's ongoing commitment to addressing critical workforce shortages across the nation's essential health services.
The category-based selection mechanism allows Canada to invite candidates who possess specific in-demand skills, moving beyond the previous comprehensive ranking system (CRS) score-only approach. By specifically inviting candidates aligned with the healthcare sector, IRCC ensures that new permanent residents can quickly integrate into roles where labor needs are most acute.
This latest draw signals consistency in IRCC's immigration planning, utilizing targeted draws to meet specific economic and demographic goals. For individuals working in various healthcare occupations, this targeted approach provides a more predictable pathway to permanent residency, provided they meet the criteria established for that specific category.
The emphasis on healthcare occupations is a direct response to provincial and territorial demands for skilled workers capable of filling roles ranging from nursing to specialized medical technicians. Successful candidates in these draws will now proceed with their applications, contributing valuable expertise to the Canadian healthcare landscape.
