Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced a new application tracker for Express Entry and PNP candidates to monitor their applications.
IRCC is offering four new categories of online application status trackers for permanent residence applications.
With these trackers, applicants can remain in control over the process without constantly contacting or following up with IRCC regarding specific updates.
The new status trackers are designed for applicants who have registered for Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) and those who applied to the Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).

On February 6, 2023, the Government of Canada extended the open work permit program for eligible Hong Kong nationals. According to the expanded eligibility requirements,
Hong Kong residents who have graduated within the past ten years from a post-secondary learning institution in Canada or abroad can obtain a work permit for up to 3 years.
Before, only those who had graduated within the last five years were eligible for application. Moreover, Canada has created two pathways to permanent residency for qualified Hong Kong nationals and their families.

The New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program's Express Entry Stream directly links to the federal Express Entry system, making it easier for applicants to get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and increases chances of obtaining permanent residency status.
To be eligible for nomination through NBPNP's Express Entry Stream, applicants must create a Federal Express Entry Profile, meet the requirements of at least one of the Federal Express Entry Immigration programs, and meet the requirements of the NB Express Entry Stream.
Applicants must also meet one of the three connections of the stream: NB Employment Connection, NB Student Connection, and NB Occupations in Demand Connection.
