Starting November 1, 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is inviting privately sponsored refugees under the Sponsorship Agreement Holder, Group of Five, and Community Sponsorship streams to participate in a survey to learn about refugees’ experiences to support improvements to IRCC program delivery.
Participants will be selected randomly, and participation in the survey will not impact their status with IRCC.
Participants will be contacted and asked to answer questions about the support they received under the sponsorship program. Additionally, they will have to complete an online questionnaire in various languages.

On November 1, 2021, British Columbia (BC) announced that the BC PNP Entrepreneur Immigration Regional Pilot had been extended until March 31, 2024.
The Pilot introduced in March 2019 supported economic growth in smaller regional centres of the province and was an innovative collaboration between regional communities and the provincial government.
Over the past two years, the province attracted entrepreneurs from around the world that contributed to regional economic development needs.
More than 50 communities across the BC have already signed up to participate in Phase 2 of the Pilot to attract new entrepreneurs to open businesses in these communities.

On October 20, 2021, the Federal Court of Canada dismissed the judicial review of the application of a Russian citizen who applied for a study permit and got rejected.
Natalia Bondarenko intended to complete an English language study program in Calgary, and then take a two-year Business Administration diploma program.
Then, the applicant applied for a study permit. But after getting a refusal, she sought judicial review of a Visa Officer’s decision. However, the Canadian Federal Court supported the officer’s decision, found it out reasonable.
The Applicant provided a letter from her employer which “strongly encouraged” her to take a course in Canada and pointed out an intention to consider re-hire her after returning to Russia.
The Court did not consider this as a promise to re-hire and agreed with the officer’s conclusion that the Applicant had weak financial ties to her country.
