On August 2, 2022, the Government of Canada published new guidelines for foreign nationals with expired or expiring post-graduation work permits (PGWP) and those applying to the temporary resident to permanent resident (TR2PR) pathways.
Since the suspension of Express Entry invitations to apply for the Federal High-Skilled streams has had an impact on PGWP holders, the Government introduced the temporary public policy to allow eligible PGWP applicants to apply for an open work permit within a 6-month intake period.
Those who have already applied for TR2PR pathways may also obtain an open work permit.

On July 27, 2022, the Government of Canada announced that it will switch to the 2021 version of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) on November 16, 2022.
The Government will replace the current NOC 2016 skill type and skill level structure with a 6-category system representing the training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) required to work in an occupation.
4-digit occupation codes will also be replaced with 5-digit codes.
Most jobs will stay in the same TEER category, while some jobs may change to a different TEER category.
According to the update, skill level B jobs may become TEER 2 or TEER 3 jobs. With regard to Express Entry, this change means that occupations eligible under Express Entry will be included in TEERs 0 to 3.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is now preparing the updates to the system to reflect the changes.

On July 18, 2022, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada released Anti-Racism Strategy 2.0 for 2021-2024.
The report presents a more integrated view of the anti-racism initiatives that have recently been completed and are presently underway.
This version of our Strategy provides a more solid structure when compared to the Government of Canada's and IRCC's Anti-Racism efforts over the previous several years.
The Strategy’s goal is to create a model for system change that includes practical, take-action steps as well as a monitoring framework, which will lead to greater momentum for the Department's Anti-Racism efforts and a long-term culture shift.

Despite several statements made by the Immigration Minister, Sean Fraser, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) could not deal with the large numbers of immigration applications.
The immigration backlog covers all applications submitted to IRCC, from citizenship to visas to permanent residency requests.
The file of citizenship applications alone is 444,792 long, with the majority of the list (1.7 million) being for temporary residence status.
In total, there are 2.7 million people waiting for IRCC to process their immigration applications. The backlog has doubled since the last year and no feasible solutions were introduced by IRCC so far.
