Even a cleaning job is hard to find now in Calgary, say these newcomers It's been devastating for those who risked their family's security and livelihoods to come. When new immigrants arrive in Calgary without strong English, they often look for cleaning jobs or warehouse work. But with unemployment rates among newcomers soaring, even these entry-level jobs are in short supply. Even a cleaning job is hard to find now in Calgary, say these newcomers It's been devastating for those who risked their family's security and livelihoods to come. For the rest of society, researchers and economists say it's a wasted opportunity to integrate these families, match them with jobs Calgary needs filled, and keep them here for the long term. Mechanic Belachew Mebratu is a good example. He's been applying online and in person for dozens of cleaning, warehouse and other jobs for seven months with no luck. Temporary pause on intake of refugee sponsorship applications from groups of five and community sponsors Ottawa, November 29, 2024—For over 40 years, the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) Program, a model for other countries around the world, has brought hope and opportunity to hundreds of thousands of refugees. This success has also led to a large application inventory and growing processing times. The Government of Canada’s immigration levels plan establishes the number of privately sponsored refugees who can arrive in Canada each year. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said that while multiple-entry visas with maximum validity were previously the norm, officers will now assess each applicant individually, potentially issuing shorter visas based on need. The updated guidance reflects a shift in Canada’s approach to temporary immigration, driven by rising housing shortages and cost-of-living concerns. #ethiopian_tik_tok🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹ሀገሬ #habesha #virel #fypシ #ethiopiantiktok #foru #haneshatiktok #ethiopian_tik_tok🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 #virel #ኢትዮዽያ #canadaimmigrationnews #touristvisa #canada #virel @Habiba Habiba ♒ @Sofiya🇪🇹🇨🇦 #habesha #virel #fypシ #ethiopiantiktok #foru #haneshatiktok #ethiopian_tik_tok🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 #virel #ኢትዮዽያ #canadaimmigrationnews #touristvisa #canada #@Habiba Habiba ♒ #habesha #virel #fypシ #ethiopiantiktok #foru #haneshatiktok #ethiopian_tik_tok🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 #virel #ኢትዮዽያ #canadaimmigrationnews #touristvisa #canada #@Habiba Habiba ♒ @Sofiya🇪🇹🇨🇦 #የማዳም_ቅመሞች - @info_se
