On February 10, 2022, the Government of Canada updated the guidelines regarding the Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker Pilots.
As of now, applications received under these Pilots will be assessed against the 2016 edition of the National Occupation Code (NOC) instead of the 2011 edition.
According to the new requirements, all applicants will have to demonstrate that they meet all requirements specified in the 2016 edition of the NOC irrespective of the coding of their work permit.

On February 8, 2022, the Government of Canada announced the launch of the new online case status tracker which will allow permanent residence applicants to more easily check their application status online.
The new system has been launched under the Government’s recent announcement on modernizing Canada’s immigration system to improve client experience.
For now, only the permanent residence applicants in the spouse, partner, and dependent child categories will be able to use the tracker. In the upcoming months, additional applicant groups will also be able to use the tracker.

The Entry/Exit Program allows Canadian border services to collect travellers’ information and share this accurate and objective data with Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to evaluate and process immigration applications.
The Program will allow the Government to verify residency requirements to support citizenship applications or permanent resident cards or check if a temporary residence applicant overstayed in Canada before.
The program also helps to check if an applicant’s family members reside in Canada, or support investigations of possible fraud.
