Indian diaspora overseas has often been accused of tampering with recruitment policies to favour Indian candidates. Recently, a Canadian women invited controversy when she claimed that she was dismissed from her job at a multinational coffee chain when she complained that desi hiring managers often showed bias towards Indian immigrants. Taking to X, she alleged that Indian managers at Tim Hortons mainly hire people from the Indian community, which has led to feelings of exclusion and discrimination among employees from various backgrounds. The woman claimed she was fired after bringing these issues to the attention of management. This situation has emerged amid ongoing discussions about immigration to Canada, particularly as the Trudeau government has tightened regulations in response to a significant increase in newcomers. Her allegations have ignited considerable debate on social media, prompting a wide range of reactions from users. While some have shown sympathy for her plight, emphasizing the necessity for individuals to express their concerns regarding workplace discrimination, others have reacted with skepticism about her claims.

Canada (IRCC) has extended a temporary public policy that exempts certain low-risk foreign nationals within Canada from needing an additional immigration medical examination (IME). The policy, which has been in place for two years, will now continue until October 5, 2029. This extension is designed to speed up application processing and enhance services for eligible applicants. The exemption applies to foreign nationals who have either a new or pending application for permanent or temporary residence or a permanent resident visa made from within Canada. To qualify, applicants must have completed an IME within the past five years, even if it has expired. They should have posed no public health or safety risk or have reported to public health authorities as required for monitoring. This policy has already benefited more than 286,000 individuals, enabling faster processing and reducing bureaucratic delays. By extending it, IRCC aims to continue improving operational efficiency while monitoring public health outcomes in partnership with the Public Health Agency of Canada. This also allows more time to assess the long-term effectiveness of the streamlined process.
