A public opinion research company Pollara Strategic Insights introduced a 20-page document, a report examining workplace racism at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
According to the outcome of the survey, there were repeated instances of employees and supervisors using offensive terms with their racialized colleagues.
Racialized IRCC employees told that they were marginalized in the workplace —
kept in precarious temporary contract positions disproportionately and for a long time which prevented them from advocating for their rights to promotion or from speaking out against racist incidents.
this report comes out at a time when Borders officers in the US have been fired for racist remarks and behavior on facebook. Link below. This shows how personal bias is reflected in the decisions that Immigration North and South of the border are determined through personal bias not professional.

Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Marco Mendicino told in an interview that IRCC may extend the temporary resident to permanent residency pathway to give more temporary foreign workers an opportunity to become permanent residents.
The pathway that was announced in May 2021 will expire on November 5. Mendicino also added that he thinks of future versions of the program that will be expanded to include refugee claimants, who get work permits while awaiting a verdict on their claims.

On October 18, 2021, the government of Canada exempted Afghanistan nationals from the 12-month bar due to the worsening conditions in Afghanistan that put individuals at risk.
Afghan applicants whose previous pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA) decision was made between October 19th, 2020 and October 18th, 2021,
and whose refugee claim or previous application for a PRRA is rejected or withdrawn, or dismissed by the Federal Court, can apply for a PRRA.
Those whose decisions were made after October 18th, 2021, will still be subjected to the 12-month bar.
