The Northwest Territories is opening its third nomination intake for 2025 on November 10 at 9 a.m., following successful advocacy that restored the territory's full allocation of 300 spots.
To accommodate remaining nominations before year-end, the program has introduced temporary changes, including removing employer application limits, eliminating work permit expiry requirements for eligible applicants, and reinstating the one-year work experience standard from previous years.
The intake closes November 24 at 5 p.m., with up to 103 applications being processed. Priority will go to those with work permits expiring within three months, followed by submission date. Applications not finalized by December 23 will be withdrawn, with applicants invited to reapply in 2026.

Ottawa is preparing to relaunch an accelerated immigration pathway for U.S. H-1B visa holders and other skilled professionals as part of its 2025 Federal Budget.
The initiative, though absent from the new Immigration Levels Plan, signals a targeted move to strengthen Canada’s position as a global destination for top talent.
The government has allocated $97 million over five years to accelerate foreign credential recognition in healthcare and construction, along with $1.4 billion to attract leading researchers through a new Research Chairs Program.
While detailed program criteria and caps have not yet been released, the measure is framed around sectors such as technology, healthcare, and research, where skilled labour shortages are most pressing.
The new H-1B pathway is also seen as a response to tightening U.S. immigration rules that limit career options for highly qualified workers.
By creating a faster, more predictable path to permanent residency, Canada aims to attract innovators, scientists, and tech experts seeking long-term stability.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced important updates to the provincial and territorial attestation letter framework for study permits.
Effective November 4, 2025, IRCC has introduced several key clarifications affecting the 2025 allocation period, including revised protocols for PAL/TAL reuse, joint program applications, and processing criteria.
The updates also address exception cases requiring Organization/Entity IDs and provide sample documentation for the current cycle.
These changes aim to streamline application procedures as the department works within the established study permit cap framework.

On November 4, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) rolled out updated guidelines following regulatory amendments that took effect January 31, 2025.
These changes grant designated officers the authority to individually cancel electronic travel authorizations, temporary resident visas, work permits, and study permits when circumstances warrant.
The new provisions under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations apply exclusively to issued documents rather than pending applications and are designed to give immigration officials more flexibility in managing temporary resident status.
