NBCC says cuts to work permits for international students 'ludicrous'
Federal changes add more restrictions to post-graduation work permits, but don't apply to universities
New Brunswick's community colleges are raising alarm bells about recent federal changes to the eligibility for work permits for international students after graduation.
The changes that came last week followed other measures announced in January that capped the post-graduation permits, and New Brunswick Community College CEO Mary Butler says it didn't come as a surprise that the government wanted to make further reductions.
"But what was surprising this time is that they were going to link postgraduate work permits … to a set number of occupations to be determined at the national level," she said.
A post-graduation work permit allows eligible applicants who graduated from a designated learning institution to temporarily stay and work in Canada.
Butler said 36 per cent of NBCC's students last year were international.
It's just ludicrous in my mind to think that we could take such a macro level, singular measure and apply that across the entire country.
- Mary Butler, NBCC president and CEO
A federal news release last week said graduates from programs at public colleges will still be eligible for up to three years, if they graduate from a field of study "linked to occupations in long-term shortage."
Butler said the college's mandate is to meet the labour market needs of the province but she doesn't believe that will be possible if permits are allowed based on national labour shortage requirements.
She pointed to an infographic from N.B. Jobs that showed of the 25,000 people employed in New Brunswick's construction industry in 2019, about 27 per cent were in the southeast, while 10.4 per cent were in the northeast.
"Look at the variation in labour need just in the province of New Brunswick, let alone how that varies from coast-to-coast- to-coast-to-coast, and at a national, a regional and then a local level," said Butler.
"It's just ludicrous in my mind to think that we could take such a macro level, singular measure and apply that across the entire country."

Nouveau-Brunswick and former mayor of Edmundston, says a little less
than half of the college's population is international students. (City of Edmundston )
In an emailed statement, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada spokesperson Michelle Carbert said the department is recalibrating the post-graduation work permit program "to better align the program with immigration goals and economic objectives."
She also said that graduates from university programs will remain eligible for the permit program, "as studies show that these graduates are more likely to acquire transferable knowledge and skills and adapt to changing economic circumstances over the long term."
Cyrille Simard, the development vice-president at Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick and former mayor of Edmundston, said the college was able to circumvent the challenges that came with the initial announcement in January.
He said just under 50 per cent of CCNB's population is made up of international students.
And Simard said immigration is one of the only ways he believes the labour force can be increased with the current demand.
But eligibility for a work permit that hinges on a national, long-term shortage means certain New Brunswick sectors could be left out of the mix, said Simard.
He said there currently isn't a specific list that identifies those national needs, but he expects more details soon.
Carbert said the long-term shortage occupations the policy is based on are the same as the ones used in the federal Express Entry's category-based selection process, and a list of eligible fields of study will be published in the coming weeks.
The categories on the Express Entry page are listed as: French-language proficiency, health care, STEM, trades, transport and agriculture or agri-food occupations.
Simard said there are some CCNB programs that have higher international student populations than others. For example, in Bathurst, at least 66 per cent of students are international in 22 out of the 35 programs, he said.
"If you expect a lower intake of international students in those programs, it would create a problem for Canadian students, because some of those programs might not be sustainable, and we need to close those down," he said.
"So it's an issue that's really important, not only for international students and for the market, but also for Canadian students."

The bigger question is should they be allowed to work at all? We owe no obligation to these international students.
Education has become a manufacturing product in Canada. Taxpayers pay to create these institutions but course offerings often will never lead to jobs, but will fill the offers of these institutions with international students who hope to attain a Canadian citizenship Back door entry.

Un processus d’immigration facilité pour les francophones hors Québec
Inès Lombardo
Le ministère d’Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada (IRCC) a annoncé mercredi un ensemble de six catégories au sein d’Entrée express pour faciliter l’immigration économique, dont «la compétence linguistique en français». Cette nouveauté accordera plus de souplesse au ministère dans la sélection des candidats, dans le cadre des programmes gérés par Entrée express.
Les candidats doivent passer par l’un des trois programmes fédéraux d’Entrée express pour bénéficier de plus de points : la Catégorie de l’expérience canadienne (CEC), le Programme des travailleurs qualifiés ou le Programme des travailleurs de métiers spécialisés.

Entrée express est un système d’immigration économique canadien qui fonctionne par un système de points : plus le candidat en obtient, plus il a de chance d’être retenu comme résident permanent à travers l’un des programmes que gère le système.
Test de français
Pour être sélectionnés dans l’un de ces trois programmes, en vertu de la compétence linguistique en français, les candidats seront invités à déposer leur candidature pour la résidence permanente s’ils ont obtenu la note minimale de 7 à un test de français officiel.
Le ministre d’Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada Sean Fraser n’a pas fait d’annonce formelle. La nouvelle est tombée via communiqué de presse le mercredi 31 mai.
À partir de l’obtention de cette note, le candidat pourra recevoir plus de points dans le système de classement global d’Entrée express.
Dans un courriel à Francopresse, Rémi Larivière, conseiller principal en communication pour IRCC, précise qu’il faut cependant que les candidats aient reçu une note minimale de 7 en compréhension de l’oral, en expression orale, en compréhension de l’écrit et en expression écrite. C’est ce qu’exigent les Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC).
«Étant donné que les candidats ayant des scores linguistiques plus élevés sont susceptibles d’être mieux classés parmi les autres candidats du bassin, ils [pourront] être invités à demander la résidence permanente par le biais d’un tour de sélection par catégorie pour les personnes maitrisant le français», précise-t-il.
Si, par exemple, une infirmière francophone souhaite obtenir la résidence permanente et qu’elle obtient la note de 7 aux tests, elle pourrait être invitée à déposer sa candidature à la fois dans la catégorie de compétence linguistique en français et dans la catégorie des professions de la santé.
«[Ces candidats] seraient invités à par le biais d’une ronde d’invitation à postuler pour les candidats maitrisant le français, ou d’une ronde d’invitation à postuler pour les travailleurs de la santé», ajoute Rémi Larivière.
Six catégories ont été sélectionnées pour inviter les candidats à présenter leurs demandes, toutes sous certaines conditions :
- compétences linguistiques en français ;
- professions de la santé ;
- professions en sciences, technologie, ingénierie et mathématiques (STIM) ;
- métiers spécifiques pour lesquels il faut avoir une expérience de six mois sur les trois dernières années ;
- métiers des transports ;
- métiers de l’agriculture et de l’agroalimentaire.
«Ce n’est pas ce qu’on demandait, mais c’est une bonne nouvelle»
Pour Alain Dupuis, directeur général de la Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne (FCFA), c’est une «bonne nouvelle».
Alain Dupuis, directeur général de la FCFA, qualifie de «bonne nouvelle» l’annonce d’IRCC pour les immigrants francophones hors Québec, même si l’organisme souhaite un programme économique distinct réservé à ces immigrants pour répondre aux besoins précis des communautés.
«Avant, il fallait des permissions spéciales pour favoriser les candidats francophones. C’était selon le principe du premier arrivé, premier servi.», affirme-t-il.
Pourtant, l’annonce n’est pas à la hauteur de ce que demandait l’organisme : un programme économique distinct pour les francophones. L’annonce ministérielle «est une réforme qui existe depuis des années», souligne Alain Dupuis.
En effet, la nouvelle annonce se concentre sur les besoins de main-d’œuvre au Canada, mais elle n’est pas taillée sur mesure pour les besoins des communautés francophones, ce que voudrait la FCFA.

Immigration économique
Par ailleurs, vu qu’IRCC ne collecte pas les données sur la main-d’œuvre francophone, il y a lieu pour la FCFA de se demander sur quelles données le ministère va se baser pour répondre spécifiquement à ces besoins, comme dans les garderies ou les écoles en milieu minoritaire par exemple.
«Mais ça va permettre au gouvernement à ce qu’il y ait plus de tirages dans les bassins [de candidats francophones] pour atteindre les cibles d’immigration», nuance-t-il.
Toutefois, le ministère ne précise pas dans quelle proportion il projette d’augmenter le nombre d’immigrants francophones à l’extérieur du Québec. Rémi Larivière précise ne pas pouvoir «spéculer sur le nombre de personnes qui soumettront une demande sous l’ensemble relatif à la maitrise du français».
Des consultations publiques sont prévues cet été. Les cibles d’IRCC pour l’immigration francophone en milieu minoritaire devraient tomber cet automne, au moment du dépôt du Plan pluriannuel.

Federal cap on international students is unfair, N.B. says
Universities, colleges assessing impact of 35 per cent cut in permits for international students nationwide
New Brunswick universities are scrambling for information after the federal government announced new caps on international students, set to come into effect for the next school year.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Marc Miller announced Canada would only issue 360,000 undergraduate study permits, a 35 per cent reduction, next fall.
The cap would be for new students, not those renewing an existing permit and would remain in effect for the 2025 school year.
Permits will be distributed to the provinces and territories based on population, with provincial governments deciding which schools will get them.

doesn't have the problems the federal government is trying to address
with the cap. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
The federal government said the move is, in part, to address concerns that the growing number of international students may strain available services.
"Rapid increases in the number of international students arriving in Canada also puts pressure on housing, health care and other services," said a news release from the government.
Arlene Dunn, the minister of post-secondary education and the minister responsible for immigration, said in a statement these are not issues in New Brunswick.
"The changes are very concerning for our government, and we are not in favour of this move that unfairly targets all provincial jurisdictions when not all are experiencing the same problems," said Dunn, adding that New Brunswick "is paying the price for the problems that exist in other parts of the country."
The federal government has basically thrown a grenade into our admissions process.
- Pierre Zundel, CCNB
The announcement comes at a time when universities are already working with potential international students who may be impacted by the cut.
"We're more than midway through that process of working with students who might be looking to come in September," said Ryan Sullivan, vice-president of enrolment management at St. Thomas University in Fredericton.
"This change part way through a cycle is … challenging. And you can imagine for students abroad who might be seeing this news, it could be creating some stress."
The changes are also impacting the province's community colleges, which have a high number of international students.

Pierre Zundel, the president of Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick, where 48 per cent of the student body is international, said the college is in a similar position to St. Thomas.
"The federal government has basically thrown a grenade into our admissions process.
"This is going to create a kind of chaos that will be extremely hard to manage," he said.
Zundel says the sudden changes will make it difficult to plan for the fall, and some programs, which draw heavily on international students, may be impacted.
Mount Allison University says it's working with the province to figure
out the impact, but specifics are hard to come by. (Mount Allison
University )
Anne Comfort, vice-president of international and student affairs at Mount Allison University, in Sackville, said in an emailed statement that the university is working with the Department of Post-Secondary Training and Labour, but specifics are hard to come by.
"We do not have enough information on key elements of this announcement, such as caps per province, implementation, and impact on application in progress to ascertain impact on fall 2024 intake," said Comfort.
The University of New Brunswick is also looking for more information, with president Paul Mazerolle saying, via email, "We do not know what the provincial cap in New Brunswick will be or how, and if, the announcement will impact us."
Attracting international students
International students are attractive to universities for many reasons. The most obvious is the higher tuition they pay than Canadian students.
At St. Thomas, where Sullivan estimates about 11 per cent of the student body is international, domestic students enrolled in the bachelor of arts program pay $8,280 a year. International students pay more than double that at $18,610.
Shift - NB9:03Université de Moncton president Denis Prud'homme said Tuesday that 35 per cent of the school's student body is international, many in the administration and nursing programs.
With 35 per cent of the school's operation budget coming from tuition, a reduction in international students could mean higher tuition overall, he said.
"Obviously, there is a risk if the student bodies decline that an institution [would] potentially have to increase their tuition," Prud'homme said.
Sullivan, at STU, said international students also contribute to the culture of the school.
"I think that's the most important piece, is the culture of the university," he said.
"Think about what an international student brings, the perspective, their lived experiences abroad."
'Thrown under the bus'
New Brunswick's representative for the Canadian Federation of Students said "international students are thrown under the bus by this announcement" and being unfairly blamed for housing and job shortages.
Trilok Bawa said putting a cap on the number of international students is "not going to solve the housing issues or the accommodation issues that we have or the inflation."
He said having fewer international students will inevitably result in higher tuition for everyone — not just international students — because institutions rely so heavily on money from international students.

Sweet/CBC)
"They say that by some stats, international students contribute $21 billion to the Canadian economy everywhere and a 35 per cent reduction in visas is certainly a big number for the educational institutions," said Bawa, an international student at UNB.
He suspects some students may be reconsidering their education plans to come to Canada.
Bawa said "most students" are probably wondering, "is Canada a more favourable destination for their higher studies at this point in time?"

Pull the other one, Arlene, it's got bells on it.
This is a good move by the Feds. Is it a good first step.
Contrary to what the Education minister says, it is an issue. There is a housing shortage in the province and rents are out of control directly impacting affordability for many NBers.
It is not as if the Feds are cutting off all international students from coming to Canada, rather 35% of the unusually high number that have come in Last year and this is for 2 yrs.
