Canada launched a new case status tracker for family class permanent residence applications

On February 8, 2022, the Government of Canada announced the launch of the new online case status tracker which will allow permanent residence applicants to more easily check their application status online.

The new system has been launched under the Government’s recent announcement on modernizing Canada’s immigration system to improve client experience.

For now, only the permanent residence applicants in the spouse, partner, and dependent child categories will be able to use the tracker. In the upcoming months, additional applicant groups will also be able to use the tracker.

How the Entry/Exit program can impact immigrants

The Entry/Exit Program allows Canadian border services to collect travellers’ information and share this accurate and objective data with Immigration,

Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to evaluate and process immigration applications.

The Program will allow the Government to verify residency requirements to support citizenship applications or permanent resident cards or check if a temporary residence applicant overstayed in Canada before.

The program also helps to check if an applicant’s family members reside in Canada, or support investigations of possible fraud.

Canada updated instructions for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program

On February 7, 2022, the Government of Canada updated instructions for students graduating outside of Canada for application for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP).

According to the new instructions, the online study eligibility period for international students has been extended, and students can complete their studies outside Canada by August 31, 2022.

International students who have been enrolled in a PGWP-eligible program between March 2020 and summer 2022 can complete 100% of their program online and still get a PGWP.

Canadian Experience Class candidates feel vulnerable after Ottawa stopped CEC-specific draws

In-Canada Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates fear having to leave jobs or even Canada since the Canadian Government stopped inviting applicants under the CEC-specific draws.

Due to the immigration backlogs, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does not issue invitations under the CEC program.

Without an invitation to apply (ITA), candidates cannot apply for permanent residence as Express Entry applicants, which leaves them vulnerable since their work permits expire, and they lose the right to work in Canada or have to find another work permit or permanent residency pathway.
