Bridging work permit for TR2PR applicants to be announced on July 26

IRCC announced a new Open Work Permit for international student graduates, essential workers and medical workers. Starting on July 26, temporary residents who have successfully applied for the new May 6 immigration policy will be eligible to apply for a new open work permit to legally stay in Canada while waiting for their application decision. Without this new open work permit, applicants under the new policy would have to leave Canada if their current temporary status expires, even if they have already applied for PR. According to Minister of Immigration Marco Mendicino, a new work permit issued under this policy will be valid from the date of issuance to December 31, 2022. #IRCC, #work_permits, #work_in_Canada, #TR2PR, #PR https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/extend-permit/bridging-open-work-permit.html  

Yukon’s growth means the province will demand more immigrants

The Conference Board of Canada reveals that Yukon is in dire need of immigrants to bolster its ageing workforce. According to the ‘New Projects, Bright Prospects: Yukon’s 20-Year Outlook’ report, the westernmost territory in the Canadian North has an ageing population. As two new mines are set to open in the next few years, the province is expected to have a job boom and will need more immigrants to fill the labour market. The Conference Board states that ‘international migration will provide the bulk of population growth’. #Yukon, #mines, #aging_population, #Conference_Board https://yukon.ca/en/immigrate-yukon
