Until the epidemic, the Canadian government sought to complete the majority of Express Entry immigration applications within six months. However, because of the outbreak, applicants have
had to wait considerably longer. Non-Canadian Experience Class (CEC) Express Entry applicants are waiting an average of over 20 months for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
(IRCC) to complete their permanent residency applications. Fortunately, IRCC has now stated that it will soon be able to process most new Express Entry applications within six months. This
change will become effective once IRCC resumes issuing Express Entry invitations to Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), CEC, and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) candidates in early July.

On May 24, 2022, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), announced the new International Mobility Program Plus (IMP+) for Quebec-selected skilled
workers. It is a new open work permit option for foreign nationals selected by the province who reside overseas or in a province other than Quebec. Until the Federal Government and Quebec
signed the agreement, work permit applications from Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) holders outside Quebec will be processed under R205(a). Foreign nationals cannot apply for an open work
permit under this category at entry.

Kyle Seeback, a Canadian Member of Parliament (MP), is proposing a new bill to assist parents and grandparents who want to travel to Canada via the Super Visa. Currently, parents and
grandparents of Canadians can visit for two years in a row without having to renew their status. Seeback proposed Bill C-242 focusing on three major changes to the Super Visa. First, the MP
called for the Government to allow parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for five years without having to renew their visas. Second, he wants the Super Visa applicants to be allowed to
acquire medical insurance from other countries too. Third, he asks the Government to diminish the low-income cut-off for applicants wishing to host their parents and grandparents.

Candidates from the High-Wage and Global Talent Stream, which is run via Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), can now work in Canada for three years instead of two to assist
businesses caught in labour scarcity bind. In addition, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) doubled the validity of a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from 9 to 18
months. Moreover, all businesses will be able to hire up to 20 percent of their workforce through the low-wage TFWP channel until further notice.
