On December 10, 2021, the Government of Canada updated border measures and requirements in response to the COVID-19 Omicron variant.
As of now, all fully vaccinated individuals who have been in any country other than Canada and the United States in the 14 days before their entry to Canada may be selected for testing upon arrival.
Those who have positive test results will have to quarantine in a suitable place until they receive a negative test result.
They will be allowed to take public transportation to their place of quarantine. The Government will also increase the number of travellers selected for testing to 100% in the coming weeks.

According to Bloomberg, a financial, software, data, and media company, Toronto is the best city in the world for women to develop a career.
The company conducted an analysis of 15 major cities based on their role in global business and attractiveness to global talent to compare the life quality metrics for women to pursue their careers.
The analysis assessed the research for five pillars: safety, mobility, maternity, equality, and wealth.
More than 3 thousand women between the ages of 18 to 60 were surveyed, and Toronto left other cities such as Sydney, Singapore, Paris, and London behind taking first place.

On December 8, 2021, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), welcomed 265 Afghan refugee families who landed at Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
Approximately 100 of these families will remain in Nova Scotia, and the rest will be resettled in new homes across Canada.
These government-assisted refugees are former NATO employees who have been located in a third country.
They arrived in Canada under the Government of Canada’s special humanitarian program for Afghan refugees that aimed to welcome 15,000 individuals.

Truck drivers in Ontario call Doug Ford to introduce strict rules for the province’s in-demand stream.
No matter how the Government increases transparency and uses the help of professional police, many people are still misusing the immigration system.
Some companies that do not have a good track record are using the government of Ontario’s in-demand stream for truck drivers.
Apparently, they reduce rates, but under the table, there is money exchange to nominate foreign drivers. Until the community raises its voice on this issue and the government introduces strict laws, this issue will not be resolved.
