On April 5, 2022, the Government of Canada announced that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has increased application fees for all permanent residence (PR) applications, including economic, permit holder, family, and humanitarian classes.
For the first time since 2002, IRCC increased PR fees in 2020 to account for inflation.
According to the Government website, application fees are subject to increase every 2 years to adjust for inflation.
In addition, the Federal Government supports a cost-effective approach to financing government programs, where individuals who receive the services and benefit directly from them are responsible for most of the costs.

On March 31, 2022, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has updated the processing times tool to provide more accurate information for applicants.
While before the tool showed the IRCC’s service standards under normal circumstances which were not updated regularly, now, it shows the processing times for permanent residence and citizenship services that are updated every week, based on data from the previous half-year.
The new updated tool gives more realistic and up-to-date information and reflects volumes of applications being processed.

On March 30, 2022, the Government of Canada published updated instructions on how to add dependents to an existing Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) permanent residence (PR) application.
After applying for a PR under the AIP, if a principal applicant (PA) made a change in his/her family composition (got married, became a common-law partner, or had or adopted a child), he or she has to update the AIP PR application accordingly.
The applicant must send his/her add-on request through IRCC’s webform and attach the required supporting documents.

On March 29, 2022, the Government of Nova Scotia announced that the province has temporarily paused the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) and the Nova Scotia Experience:
Express Entry (NSEEE) stream to food service supervisors (NOC 6311).
As of now, applicants who possess work experience under the NSEEE or AIP under NOC 6311 are not eligible to apply for permanent residency (PR).
However, candidates working under the NOC 6311 can apply through the Skilled Worker Stream, and employers in the food and hospitality sectors may use the Skilled Worker stream to recruit employees under this NOC. In addition
, Nova Scotia employers may also hire food and beverage servers (NOC 6513), food counter attendants, kitchen helpers, and related support occupations (NOC 6711) under the Occupations in Demand stream.
