Canada invests in services to support economic integration and fill labour market shortages Français
OTTAWA, ON, /CNW/ - Canada's new government has a mandate to build a strong economy by attracting the best talent in the world and filling key labour shortages. Today, the Honourable Lena Metlege Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced more than $3.2 billion over three years across more than 520 organizations outside Quebec to improve the integration of newcomers, including into the job market, and to reduce labour shortages. Settlement services are essential to filling vacancies in high-demand sectors such as health care and skilled trades. With increased economic integration, newcomers can apply their skills quickly, fill critical labour gaps and boost productivity. Funding will be provided to local organizations to deliver tailored services that recognize regional considerations and needs, instead of applying a one-size-fits-all approach. Services will include support with getting a licence or certification in a regulated profession providing job-specific and general language training in English and French supporting French-speaking newcomers to integrate into Francophone communities outside Quebec These services will help newcomers build successful lives in Canada by supporting their economic, social and cultural integration into communities across the country. With an outcome-focused approach, Canada will attract a strong workforce and build one unified Canadian economy—the strongest economy in the G7. Quote: "Canada is focused on building more homes, better infrastructure and a clean economy—and newcomers are essential to making that happen. This investment is about giving newcomers the skills and opportunities they need to build their lives here and help build Canada at the same time. When newcomers thrive, our communities grow stronger, and we all move forward together." – The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Quick facts: As of April 1, 2025, more than 520 organizations received funding to deliver settlement and resettlement programs and services across Canada. Organizations were chosen following a competitive national call for proposals. All applications were carefully reviewed to confirm they met eligibility requirements, were aligned with program priorities, provided good value for money and offered services that met newcomer needs. Under the Canada–Quebec Accord, the Government of Canada provides the province of Quebec with an annual grant for the delivery and administration of reception services and of services to support the linguistic, cultural and economic integration of immigrants who settle in that province, including resettled refugees. From April 2014 to January 2025, 47% of all permanent residents outside Quebec and 93% of resettled refugees accessed at least one IRCC-funded settlement service in Canada.

How this Toronto airport is using AI to help reduce garbage waste
Social Sharing A Toronto airport is using artificial intelligence to help reduce garbage waste and teach people about recycling. Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport launched its first Oscar Sort recycling stations on Wednesday to guide travelers on how to dispose of their waste properly across terminals. Alex Rector is the global Oscar lead at Intuitive AI, the Canadian technology company that created Oscar Sort. He says the goal with the recycling tool is to make sure items end up in the correct disposal streams. "We find a lot of people have walked up to a bin and just don't know where things are supposed to end up, and that's again where Oscar becomes the hero across five continents. We're diverting waste away from landfill," he said. The Oscar station looks like a standard recycling system, but it contains a scanner that identifies the item that someone wants to discard, then nudges the person to deposit their garbage or recyclables in the right bin. Founded in 2017, Oscar has caught up with the new types of AI in the market by increasing its processors to identify items faster and improve its pixels, Rector says. The AI recycling assistant also features recycling trivia for adults and kids. This is the first launch of Oscar Sort at any Toronto airport, and Billy Bishop will have four recycling stations. Rector says the airport is the perfect place to have the system. "If you think about an airport, you have folks traveling from all over the world, and recycling might be different in different areas, or there might be a language barrier," said Rector. WATCH | How Oscar Sort works: How Oscar works 2 years ago Deputy director of EcoGAC at Global Affairs Canada Soren Antosz explains how the department is using artificial intelligence to help it divert trash from landfills and into recycling programs. Oscar has a 92 per cent accuracy rate, Rector says. "A lot of the time, folks will walk up to Oscar and show an item, and they'll be so astounded that Oscar knows what they're holding and where to throw it out, and so the next thing they're going to do is try and trick Oscar," he said. 'Gamifying ... waste management' The vice president of communications and public affairs at PortsToronto, the transportation service that owns and operates Billy Bishop, says this is a great use of AI. "We all love to be entertained, and we all love to have our attention grabbed quickly," said Deborah Wilson. "It's a simple technology, you're gamifying something like waste management, and I think it will really have an impact in terms of people's behaviour." Juhi Matta, the senior manager for environment, social, and governance at PortsToronto, says she's happy Billy Bishop is getting the new tool. "When we learned about Oscar Sort, we thought it would be a fun way to not only reduce contamination and increase the waste diverted from landfill, but it would also be a great opportunity to engage passengers," she said. She says Oscar will also be a good way to improve recycling rates in general.

Lovart Launches Globally: End-to-End Design Agent Exits Beta, Powered by the World's First AI Creative Reasoning Engine
Lovart's design Agent launches publicly, after attracting 800,000 Beta testers. Lovart delivers six or higher branding budgets in minutes. San Francisco, California--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2025) - Lovart, a bold AI design and branding Agent with capabilities of an award-winning creative team, has officially launched its long-awaited generative design platform, exiting Beta with a bold mission: to generate six figure or higher branding and advertising campaigns using nothing more than a single text prompt. Positioned as a disruptive force within the branding world with 800,000 users across 70 countries, Lovart is enabling in-house brands and boutique agencies who are already weaving AI into their teams, to unlock 4A agency-quality branding. Lovart's launch comes at a pivotal moment. Just as AI has reshaped education, AI agents are quickly becoming essential within creative organizations. Teams are increasingly relying on generative tools not just to assist but to also lead in shaping and dictating visual trends, much like fashion editors do each season. Only now, the editor isn't human. It's AI. The Creative Engine Powering Lovart Under the hood, Lovart is powered by its proprietary creative reasoning engine, MCoT (Mind Chain of Thought). Going as far as assessing and analyzing the brand's requirements, business context, and the target audience, its output is on par with top-tier Creative Directors and professional-grade visual assets. With just a simple text prompt or a reference image, users can generate up to 40 high-fidelity, agency-quality assets in only minutes. From branding kits, social posts and storyboards to UI flows and even packaging, Lovart delivers a breadth of output rarely seen in a single platform. But what truly sets it apart is its creative intelligence - the first of its kind to infuse visual outputs with an unexpected, witty, and human-like flair. "At Lovart, we don't have product managers. We have designers who teach AI how to think, in a way that you might expect from a Creative Director," said Melvin Chen, CEO of Lovart. "The canvas is the desk. The agent is your teammate. Together, they recreate the most natural way design happens that captures nuance, emotion and brand essence within a single prompt, enabling anyone to bring their creative visions to life, even without a design background." Inside Lovart: The Features Redefining Creative Work ChatCanvas - Lovart's "ChatCanvas" is an infinite, intelligent canvas that responds to intent through shared visual and dialogue. It is built for true creative collaboration between humans and AI. Multi-agent Co-Creation - Lovart is powered by specialized AI agents, each handling a distinct creative task whether it's designing logos or packaging, to UI/UX mock ups and competitive research. These agents collaborate on complex campaigns while staying aligned through a shared context layer called "Design Context Core." This ensures Lovart is contextually aware of the broader brand campaign, ensuring cohesive and on-brand output across all materials. Autonomous Design Intelligence - Unlike other platforms, Lovart's design prowess is comparable to a Creative Director, capable of guiding you from idea to execution. It's capable of planning the workflow, sourcing design references, all the way to delivering the output. Long-Term Recall - But also like humans, Lovart learns over time. It not only remembers your preferences, design choices, and imported assets, but also analyzes them to understand emotional tone and context. For example, it can interpret a color palette and automatically apply the right hues to future projects. Learns and Predicts Workflow Habits - Lovart also learns your workflow habits, whether you design for Instagram or YouTube, and where you draw inspiration from, whether it's Pinterest or Behance. It also predicts your next move and offers smart suggestions, flagging layout issues, color mismatches, or creative opportunities in real time. Advanced Canvas Editing - Modify layers, adjust text, and fine-tune layout and styles with built-in tools. Control everything from font to form in one place. Top AI Models Under One Roof - As a full-spectrum creative suite, Lovart also supports cross-modal generation across image, video, and audio. Lovart supports top AI models. About Lovart Lovart AI is a San Francisco-based technology company pioneering the world's first Design Agent - an AI-native system that interprets creative intent, decomposes complex tasks, and coordinates leading multimodal models to deliver comprehensive outputs across image, video, and 3D formats. Co-founded by Lovart's CEO Melvin Chen and Haofan Wang, an AI researcher with training from Carnegie Mellon University, and supported by a global team of experts in AI systems and creative tooling, Lovart is transforming the creative landscape. Since launching in 2025, Lovart has rapidly gained traction with more than 800,000 users, fundamentally changing how modern creators and studios approach design workflows.
