On October 10, 2023, Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), announced a new humanitarian permanent residence pathway for individuals from the Americas.
Canada will welcome 15,000 migrants and provide regular migration pathways to people in the Americas, offering economic opportunities as an alternative to irregular migration.
As part of this commitment, Canada will welcome up to 11,000 Colombians, Haitians, and Venezuelans through the new pathway.
This fall, foreign nationals from these countries located in Central or South America or the Caribbean with extended family connections in Canada will be able to apply for this new pathway.

On October 10, 2023, the Canadian Government started inviting candidates through the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP).
From October 10 to October 23, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will send invitations to apply to 24,200 potential sponsors selected randomly from the pool of submissions from 2020.
IRCC aims to receive 15,000 complete applications. Candidates who submitted an interest to sponsor form in 2020 but have yet to receive an invitation to apply for the PGP in 2021 or 2022 should continue checking their emails for the invitation from IRCC.
The Government has also updated the income requirements that all applicants must follow to be considered eligible.

Last week, Canada's immigration department made significant changes to improve the operations of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) based on a commissioned study.
The changes were influenced by a report from Neil Yeates, a former Deputy Minister of IRCC, who evaluated the department's structure and effectiveness.
The department's Deputy Minister, Christiane Fox, communicates with the Immigration Minister, Marc Miller, to implement the government's elected mandate.
The department aims to be more responsive to global changes and humanitarian crises and incorporate applicants' experiences in its decision-making process.

The Federal Government works to prevent employers from charging fees to temporary foreign workers under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).
However, some workers are still being exploited and made to pay large sums to secure jobs in Canada. Immigrants pay to get a Canadian employer to apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), which is needed for a work permit.
Scams involving LMIA fraud are known, but the Government has taken steps to guard employees against them. Some foreign workers pay to stay in Canada and get semi-skilled LMIA jobs to settle in the country.
The TFWP has led to profiteering by unscrupulous employers and immigration consultants. Last year, the Federal Government changed regulations to ensure temporary foreign workers are not charged for their recruitment.
