Every February, Canadians come together to celebrate and recognize the accomplishments of Black people in Canada through various events and festivities that take place throughout Black History Month.
The 2023 theme for Black History Month is “Ours to tell”.
This concept invites Canadians to enter an inclusive conversation and further understand the experiences, accomplishments, trials, and triumphs of Canadian Black communities throughout history.
The Canadian Government invites all Canadians to uncover the stories behind the nation's communities and discover how they have helped shape Canada into the country we know today.

Experts agree that while Canada's plan to amplify its immigration numbers may help alleviate some economic strain, more significant improvements are necessary to accurately ensure the labour market can fill positions with qualified permanent residents.
Unprecedentedly low unemployment rates have left companies desperate for workers, and fresh immigrants will aid in alleviating this predicament, according to Ravi Jain,
co-founder of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association.
The federal government plans to welcome 1.45 million additional permanent residents over the next three years, with 465,000 newcomers in 2023 and 500,000 in 2025.

On February 1, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that the Government of Canada designated Pearson Canada Inc. as a language-testing organization.
By late 2023, it is expected that IRCC will begin accepting scores from the Pearson Test of English (PTE) Essential English test administered by Pearson Canada Inc.
as a way to fulfill language requirement criteria.
This new policy aims to provide an alternative means of demonstrating language proficiency for those who may not have had access to other established language tests.
