RACHEL BENDAYAN APPOINTED AS MINISTER OF IMMIGRATION

In a significant cabinet reshuffle ahead of the 2025 federal election, Prime Minister Mark Carney has appointed Rachel Bendayan as Canada’s new Minister of Immigration, replacing Marc Miller. This appointment marks a pivotal moment in Canada’s immigration landscape as the government refines its policies to address evolving demographic and economic needs.

Bendayan, currently serving as the Member of Parliament for Outremont, Quebec, brings extensive experience to the role. Her tenure as Minister of Official Languages and previous positions as Parliamentary Secretary have equipped her with a deep understanding of government operations. Additionally, her background in international trade law and her Moroccan-Jewish heritage provide her with unique insights into the challenges and opportunities within Canada’s immigration system.

As part of Prime Minister Carney’s broader strategy, key changes are expected in immigration policies, particularly in returning to pre-pandemic immigration levels and expanding pathways to permanent residence for temporary residents. These adjustments aim to support Canada’s long-term economic growth while ensuring smoother integration for newcomers.
