Your daily horoscope: March 25, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY With Saturn and Pluto strong on your birthday there will be major challenges coming your way, and that is exactly what you need. The harder you are pushed the more motivated you will be to raise your game and make your dreams come true. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Don’t waste your time worrying that what you have been working on seems to have hit a wall because it is only a temporary blip and you will soon be steaming ahead again. Today, keep it light and focus on something less challenging.

Canada Pauses Private Refugee Sponsorship Applications Until 2026


The Canadian government has announced a temporary pause on private refugee sponsorship applications from groups of five or more people and community organizations. This measure, effective immediately, will last until December 31, 2025. The decision aims to address the growing backlog of applications and improve processing times for both refugees and sponsors.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) stated that the number of applications received annually far exceeds the available spaces for private refugee sponsorships. The government has set a target of admitting 23,000 privately sponsored refugees in its 2025-27 immigration plan, while the total refugee target for next year is just over 58,000 people. As of the end of October, there are over 85,000 pending refugee claims.

IRCC recognizes that this measure will impact the refugee sponsorship community and has pledged to work closely with partners and stakeholders to adjust to these changes and explore long-term improvements to the program. The pause will allow the system to catch up with the existing workload and ensure a more efficient and predictable refugee sponsorship process in the future.
