A new internal memo from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) says the ministry has yet to decide on Express Entry plans for this year but invitations for the Federal Skilled
Worker Program (FSWP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates will resume "later in 2022."
The note also states that IRCC will extend the temporary pause in issuing invitations to FSWP, CEC, and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) candidates until March 31 while continuing to issue invitations under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) answered questions of post-graduate work permit (PGWP) holders in an online meeting.
Minister stated that there is a huge number of people who have completed their studies and have a PGWP.
Many of these foreign nationals feel insecure since their PGWPs are expiring, and they have not been able to apply for permanent residency (PR) yet.
The Minister explained that IRCC is looking for different options to make sure not to lose these candidates as the Government tries to keep these skilled candidates in Canada to tackle the labour shortages in the country.

On March 17, 2022, the Government of Canada launched the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) – a new temporary residence pathway for Ukrainian citizens and their family members.
Obtaining a CUAET, Ukrainian nationals will be able to stay in Canada for three years and have open work permits, which will enable them to find work as quickly as possible.
Their applications will be processed within two weeks.
However, Ukrainian citizens will have to meet all other public health requirements for travel and undergo background checks and security screening.

On March 8, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced a new update regarding the pathway to permanent residence (PR) for extended family members of Afghan interpreters
who immigrated to Canada under the previous public policies implemented in 2009 and 2012 and worked for or assisted the Canadian Government or Armed Forces.
The application process of Afghan nationals has opened on December 9, 2021, and still continues.
All PR applications submitted by the Afghan interpreters under this public policy have to be sent by mail to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in the Centralized Network.
