On March 27, 2023, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), announced that the Government of Canada was working on a new economic pathway under the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP)
to bring more skilled refugees and displaced people start their careers in Canada and help employers fill labour shortages in their businesses.
The EMPP connects highly skilled refugees and qualified displaced people with Canadian businesses facing labour shortages in essential occupations.
The new initiative will enable Canada to welcome vulnerable individuals while supplying employers with the skills needed for economic growth. . #IRCC, #EMPP, #Fraser, #refugees, #skilled_refugees, #displaced_people
Canada expects to accept more newcomers through provincial nominee programs (PNPs) in the coming years.
This year, Canada provided provinces with multi-year allocation plans for the first time.
The plan includes an unprecedented 44 percent growth in PNP allocations for 2023 and offers potential numbers for 2024 and 2025.
Despite the Federal Government's decision not to release the Multi-Year Allocation Plan publicly, many provinces have taken matters into their own hands and made these allocations available on their websites.
Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta have already provided their PNP allocations for the following years. #PNP, #Multi_Year_Allocation_Plan, #PNP_allocations
A new report from Yves Giroux, Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer, states that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) possess 65% more staff than necessary to meet their Express Entry goal.
The federal government aims to process 80% of applications received under Express Entry immigration programs within six months.
As a result, the total expenditure predicted to achieve the processing target amounts to $792 million over five years.
With fees collected (743 million), this amount will be reduced to an approximate net cost of $48 million.#Express_Entry, #IRCC, #staffing, #EE, #EE_Budget
On February 28, 2023, the Government of Canada extended the temporary policy allowing visitors to Canada to apply for a work permit.
Having a valid job offer, foreign nationals who are in Canada as visitors can apply for a work permit without leaving the country.
Visitors with a work permit within the last 12 months can also apply for an interim work authorization to continue working in Canada.
This temporary public policy has been extended by an additional two years and will remain in effect until February 28, 2025.
