Canada welcomes Bhutanese refugees
Some 100,000 Bhutanese refugees of ethnic Nepalese descent have been living in refugee
camps run by the United Nations since the early 1990's, having been forced to leave
Bhutan and live in exile.
Following repeated failed attempts at repatriation, a group of seven Western countries
agreed to accept 70,000 of these refugees. Canada will be welcoming 5,000 of them
over the next five years. To support this project, Citizenship, Immigration and
Multiculturalism Canada (CIMC) has allocated $1.3 million for advance health screening
of the Bhutanese coming to Canada and to provide treatment, where necessary, before
they relocate.
Premier of Quebec plans to attract and retain more international students
Quebec Premier Jean Charest hopes to establish a new system to help foreign students
stay in Quebec to pursue their careers upon graduation. Charest says that more international
students would help Quebec meet its demographic challenge caused by a low provincial
birthrate.
Jean Charest and his Liberal team intend to implement a major campaign to recruit
more international students. They plan to create a system that would issue special
certificates to foreign graduates of Quebec post-secondary academic institutions.
They hope to attract international students by advertising the province's need to
fill 700,000 jobs by 2011, and by offering them a system which would speed up the
processing of their immigration applications.
A recent Canadian Bureau for International Education study shows that less than
one out of ten international graduates remains in Quebec upon graduation.
