Quebec is considering creating a new immigration program to speed up the process of getting permanent residency for francophone immigrants already living in Quebec.
The new immigration program would mainly focus on graduates from CEGEP colleges and universities who speak French and temporary workers who have been living in Quebec for a while.
As Quebec endeavours to preserve and grow the use of French in the province, this program will help them advance that objective by prioritizing francophone immigrants.

To ease impending labour shortages, Canada will begin hosting targeted Express Entry draws specifically for skilled workers starting next year.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser explained that targeted draws would allow the government to select workers by the sector and the location they intend to live in Canada.
Immigration Minister also stated his intention to work with provinces to simplify the process of foreign credential recognition for doctors and nurses.
This way, healthcare workers will be more efficiently employed under a specific skilled worker program targeting areas where demand is high.

On November 16, 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will update the National Occupation Classification (NOC) to include the Training, Education, Experience, and Responsibilities (TEER) system.
The NOC is revised every ten years to keep up with the changing Canadian labour market.
This newest revision provides a new framework for classifying occupations by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Statistics Canada.
The only impact this change will have, is administrative, as there will be no changes to advertising or delivery of the immigration programs.
