The federal government is offering Quebec $750 million to help pay for a surge in temporary immigrants to the province, federal officials say.
Related: There is more political fallout in the immigration battle between Quebec and Ottawa. Opposition parties in Quebec City are accusing Premier François Legault of being all talk and no action. This comes one day after Legault threatened to hold a referendum on immigration if the federal government doesn't meet Quebec's demands by the end of June.
Ottawa is also pledging to “improve the integrity” of the country’s visa system and to ensure more temporary foreign workers know how to speak French.Legault has long complained that the number of temporary immigrants to the province — including asylum seekers, students and workers — has “exploded” to 560,000, a number he says has doubled in the past two years and has put a strain on social services.
