Canada's federal immigration department will now cut more than 3,300 jobs

  Ottawa: Canada's federal immigration department is set to cut about 3,300 jobs over the next three years. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has not said who will be affected by the cuts, the Public Service Alliance of Canada and the Canada Employment and Immigration Union said in a joint statement. The unions said they expect more information in mid-February but the cuts were raised in a union-management meeting before staff were notified. Both unions are urging the government to cut external contracting rather than reduce staff.
