On March 8, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced a new update regarding the pathway to permanent residence (PR) for extended family members of Afghan interpreters
who immigrated to Canada under the previous public policies implemented in 2009 and 2012 and worked for or assisted the Canadian Government or Armed Forces.
The application process of Afghan nationals has opened on December 9, 2021, and still continues.
All PR applications submitted by the Afghan interpreters under this public policy have to be sent by mail to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in the Centralized Network.

On March 4, 2022, the Government of Canada announced that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada will start accepting applications for the permanent Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) from March 6, 2022.
Eligible applicants who possess a valid endorsement from an Atlantic Canadian business can submit their applications for permanent residence (PR) under the new AIP.
This program will allow the Atlantic provinces to invite more skilled newcomers to improve the economic recovery in the region.
Under the Atlantic Immigration Pilot, Canada welcomed over 12,700 newcomers across the region.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has stopped the Canadian Experience Class draws last year.
In the online event streamed on the Canadian Club Toronto website on February 16, 2022, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser stated that CEC draws may resume “in the near term.”
Despite the immigration minister clarified that there was no announcement on when CEC draws would resume, he introduced his expectations saying that Express Entry would work more
normally in the coming years as the Government is working on the Express Entry system to make it more flexible.

On March 1, 2022, the Government of Canada extended the public policy allowing certain visitors in Canada to apply for a work permit.
The public policy, which came into effect on August 24, 2020, has been extended until February 28, 2023, allowing all temporary residents who are in Canada to apply inland for an employer-specific work permit, regardless of their arrival time in Canada.
The public policy also allows eligible former temporary foreign workers to work in Canada while a decision on their work permit application is pending.
