On June 8, 2022, the Government of Canada published an update regarding the new public policy on issuing open work permits under the temporary resident to permanent resident pathway
(TR2PR). The temporary public policy that was signed on July 4, 2021, became effective on June 6, 2022. The new public policy will allow the government to issue open work permits until
December 31, 2024, and avoid the need for renewals, as well as expand the eligibility criteria for eligible family members abroad to help speed up family reunification.

On June 7, 2022, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced changes to the Super Visa program, making it easier for Canadians to reunite with
their parents and grandparents. The new amendments will come into force on July 4, 2022, and allow super visa holders to stay in Canada for a longer period of time.
The super visa holders will be able to stay in Canada for 5 years per entry and request to extend their stay by up to 2 years.
In addition, international medical insurance companies also will be allowed to provide the necessary medical coverage for super visa applicants.

A Memorandum to the Deputy Minister clarified that Express Entry draws should be postponed until at least the summer or the time when a six-month processing standard is met.
This will allow Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to focus on diminishing the current backlog. In addition, this will also ensure that when the new invitation rounds start
again, new applications can be processed within the service standard. All-program invitation rounds are expected to be resumed in July – September 2022.

The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has committed to working with the province of Quebec to attract more French-speaking immigrants as the province braces itself for a significant rise
in immigration this year to make up for the losses during the Covid-19 epidemic. Trudeau's backing for immigration to the French-speaking province comes as it prepares to accept 71,275 new
permanent residents this year, far more than the 50,285 who arrived in the province last year. If the government reaches its goal, Quebec would receive a 41.7 percent boost in immigration –
which it hopes will be a one-time occurrence to compensate for the decline in immigration to the province in 2020.
