The IRCC has announced changes to PGWP eligibility and a tighten cap on study permits.

Categories canada immigration 0 Comments

The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), presented important new measures targeted at regulating the influx of temporary residents, particularly international students and foreign workers, in response to the changing needs of the immigration system in Canada.

Key Changes:

1. A decrease in study permits starting in 2025:
A 10% decrease from the 485,000 study permits the government had planned for 2024 will result in 437,000 permits being awarded in 2025.

The intake cap for 2026 will stay at the level of 2025, which will stabilize the quantity of new study permits that are granted. The goal of this cut is to guarantee that foreign students in Canada can receive sufficient assistance for their academic pursuits and potential career possibilities.

2. Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program Updates:
New language proficiency standards will be implemented for PGWP applicants starting in November 2024. College graduates must achieve a CLB level of five, whereas university graduates must achieve a level of seven.
Furthermore, candidates for a three-year PGWP must be graduates of programs related to long-term shortage occupations.

3. Modifications to Foreign Student and Worker Spouses’ Work Permit Eligibility:
Only spouses of master’s degree candidates enrolled in courses lasting at least 16 months will be qualified for work permits later this year.
Furthermore, spouses of foreign workers in management or professional positions, or in industries experiencing a labor shortage, will only be granted work permits under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the International Mobility Program (IMP).

1443 PR Invitations Were Sent in Two New Ontario-OINP Draws.

Categories canada immigration 0 Comments

On September 17, 2024, saw the conduct of two fresh draws for the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), inviting a total of 1,443 individuals to submit an application for permanent residency (PR).
In a general draw for the Master’s Graduate Stream, OINP sent out an astounding 1,249 PR invites to applicants who received an Expression of Interest (EOI) score of 53 or above. This EOI cutoff score decreased by just 1 point from the July 9 Masters Graduate Stream draw.

Furthermore, 110 invitations to apply to EOI profiles with a score of 45 or higher were given out in the second OINP draw under the PhD graduate stream. In contrast to the July 9 PhD graduate stream, this EOI cutoff score decreased by five points.

One notable feature of the OINP Masters Graduate Stream is that it does not require payroll management, LMIAs, or employment offers.

Consequently, in order to enhance their PR applications, students are urged to participate in their education and professional development.

Ministers Address Systemic Abuse in the LMIA Program

LMIA: The long-overdue requirement for modifications to stop system abuse;

Since Ministers are actively contemplating additional modifications to solve persistent issues and enhance the program’s efficacy, the program has recently taken center stage. Speaking out against systemic abuses by Canadian businesses, the Ministers of Immigration, Employment, Workforce Development, and Official Languages have also weighed in.

Steps Taken to Stop TFWP Abuse

Minister Boissonnault targeted Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) abusers with a series of measures during a news conference on August 6th on behalf of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), which is handling LMIA applications. In particular, these were:

Stricter Rules for Employers

Restricting temporary foreign workers—including those in the “dual intent sub-stream” who plan to apply for permanent residency—by a constant 20%. More rigorous regulations will also apply to employers employing the dual intent stream: – Tighter supervision over the issue of Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) and inspections, especially in high-risk locations.

  1. Potential hikes in the LMIA price to pay for further processing and integrity efforts.
  2. Enforcing employer eligibility requirements, which could involve more stringent requirements like a minimum number of years in business or taking into account an employer’s history of layoffs.
  3. Introducing restrictions and declining to process applications for the TFWP’s low-wage stream, particularly for employers in particular sectors and industries that have a history of abuse.

Starting on September 30, a new immigration EOI system in Alberta.

Categories canada immigration, Update 0 Comments

Updates on the New AAIP: On September 30, 2024, the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) will launch a new Expression of Interest (EOI) system, which will revolutionize the way applications are chosen.

The purpose of this change is to improve efficiency and better match Alberta’s labor market requirements with the immigration process.

In order to show their interest in coming to Alberta, candidates use the EOI system, a points-based selection process.

Candidates will be added to a selection pool akin to the Express Entry pool upon submitting an EOI.

From time to time, AAIP will select applicants from this pool and invite the top performers who fit the demands of the local labor market to submit an application for immigration.

A new Canada PR pathway is currently being developed for TEER 4 and 5 jobs.

Categories Update, canada immigration 0 Comments

Canada is about to propose major changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations in a bold attempt to update its economic immigration framework for Canada PR.

The Forward Regulatory Plan: 2024–2026 project seeks to establish a new permanent economic class for workers in occupations classified as Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) 4 and 5.

These modifications, which are scheduled for pre-publication in the fall of 2024, are expected to increase the range of backgrounds and experiences among permanent residents, providing many foreign workers who are now employed in Canada with new opportunities.
