The Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association warned that the new immigration college will not be successful too
On November 24, 2021, the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association (CILA) published an article criticizing the newly launched Immigration and Citizenship Consultants of Canada (CICC). CILA warned that CICC will also fail to protect the vulnerable public as the CSIC and ICCRC did. Since all consultants under the previous regime will be grand-parented into the CICC, all problems associated with the thousands of immigration consultants engaged in the actual practice of law today will continue. CILA also announced that the Association continues to advocate for ethical and competent representation.

Jean Boulet became the new Quebec Immigration Minister
On November 24, 2021, Jean Boulet, Quebec’s labour minister, replaced Nadine Girault, Quebec’s former Minister of Immigration, Francisation and Integration (MIFI), who has been sidelined with health problems and advised by her physician to decrease her workload for the rest of her mandate.

He announced that there were no plans to review immigration quotas, and the levels have to be determined based on the capacity of the province to integrate immigrants into the society.
