Lena Metlege Diab is Canada's new immigration minister

Prime Minister Mark Carney has appointed Lena Metlege Diab as the new Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). A lawyer and former Nova Scotia Immigration Minister, Diab brings extensive experience to the role, succeeding Rachel Bendayan. Known for her successful expansion of Nova Scotia's immigration programs and advocacy for newcomer integration, Diab's appointment suggests a continued focus on structured immigration reform, particularly in Francophone immigration, permanent residency pathways, and international student programs. The appointment comes at a crucial time as Canada seeks to address labour shortages and maintain its position as a leading destination for global talent, with Diab expected to oversee significant policy reforms in the coming months.
