The US just announced diversity quotas for student permits, and a lot of people are asking whether Canada will follow suit. There’s plenty of talk online about how Indian citizens are making up the majority of newcomers to Canada. At the same time, Canadian residents state that they don’t believe newcomers are not adopting Canadian values (not just directed at Indian newcomers, by the way!).

So, is there any chance Canada will introduce diversity quotas in its upcoming Immigration Levels Plan?

With the new levels plan around the corner, we’re revisiting IRCC’s 2026 notional projections from last year. See how Canada’s immigration outlook has evolved, and what it could mean for the next announcement.

Everyone knows the top job search tools in Canada: LinkedIn, Indeed, and the Canada Job Bank. But did you know each has its own strengths and downsides?

LinkedIn excels at professional networking, allowing you to connect directly with recruiters, showcase your skills, and access roles from major employers. However, many users find its job filters less precise, with some listings appearing repetitive or irrelevant. If you’re looking to connect with large companies in Canada, LinkedIn is your go-to platform.

Indeed stands out for its vast range of listings and powerful search filters, helping candidates quickly find jobs by title, salary, or location. Yet, users often notice duplicate or outdated postings, and sponsored ads can push free listings lower in search results. It’s a great option if you want to reach small to medium-sized Canadian employers.

The Canada Job Bank, managed by the federal government, offers verified and reliable postings, making it ideal for newcomers and smaller employers who can’t afford paid platforms. Still, its listings may feel limited compared to private-sector sites. Recommended for newcomers, recent graduates, and those seeking verified opportunities with Canadian employers.

Canada boasts some of the largest underground shopping complexes in the world. Beneath the streets of Toronto lies the PATH, an underground pedestrian network stretching over 30 kilometres. This vast system connects hundreds of shops, restaurants, offices, and transit stations. Open year-round, the PATH allows thousands of commuters and tourists to navigate downtown efficiently.

Montreal also boasts an impressive underground city known as the RESO, or La Ville Souterraine, spanning around 33 kilometres of interconnected tunnels. With over 1,700 shops and access to key landmarks, the RESO serves as a vital part of daily life, especially during the harsh winter.
