On October 7, 2022, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), announced that the Government of Canada has temporarily lifted the 20-hour-per-week cap on the number of hours that international students are allowed to work off-campus while in session.
International students who are in Canada and have off-campus work authorization on their study permit will not be restricted by the 20-hour-per-week limit from November 15, 2022, to December 31, 2023.
Foreign nationals who have already applied for a study permit may also take advantage of this temporary policy if their application is accepted as of October 7, 2022.

On September 23, 2022, the Government of Northwest Territories (GNWT) launched a new Francophone Stream of the Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP).

In addition, to be eligible, applicants also must have at least one year of full-time experience in the occupation for which they’re being nominated or six months of full-time experience in the NWT;
possess the required territorial certification, licensing or accreditation of the specific trade or occupation; meet language requirements in both English and French; and not be a refugee claimant. As of now, the NTNP has three streams: Employer-Driven, Business, and Francophone.
