My family and I relocated to Toronto in August from Brussels, where I was the paper’s bureau chief, covering the European Union. In my five years there I focused on the pandemic, the invasion of Ukraine and other major news stories that affected Europe. I also wrote a lot about refugees and immigration policy, reporting from the field, something I’ve been doing since I started my career in my hometown, Athens, in the mid-2000s. Apart from immigration, I am very interested in deeply investigated stories that hold the powerful to account. I have a track record of covering malfeasance, both by the state and by the private sector, and I enjoy cultural stories, too.

The idea that a country can take in a specific number of newcomers is new to me, despite my experience covering immigration systems around the world. It’s down to the luck of geography. Australia is somewhat similar by virtue of being a remote island. As Mr. Haan said, “We are geographically privileged: We can be bombastic about how open we are because we don’t have people drowning in the Mediterranean to get to our shores, or waiting at the Mexican border.” Still, he added, it’s not an exact science. “Our immigration levels are a grand experiment. No one knows what that magic number needs to be.” Will the voices of business, provinces and colleges become less important? The revision of the influence of the sectors that have, over the past decades, determined federal immigration policy may be the biggest shift we’re seeing. Mr. Trudeau on Thursday called out business, colleges and provinces for abusing their freedom to bring in workers and students. “Everyone has a vested interest: Employers want a surplus army of labor; universities want tons of international students because they salivate at the prospect of higher fees. All those groups push the government to open the taps,” Mr. Haan said. “Now the government is saying, ‘We’re going to close the tap a little, and see what happens.’” Trans Canada [A man in dark clothing walking past a police car with its lights flashing.] Sikhs in Brampton, Ontario, have been targeted in extortion schemes, some of which involve guns and arson. Ian Willms for The New York Times This week’s Trans-Canada section was compiled by Ian Austen, a Canada correspondent for The Times who is based in Ottawa.
