A Nanos Research Group study commissioned by Bloomberg found that most Canadians remain confident in the positive economic benefits of continued immigration.
An overwhelming majority of 1,012 survey participants had a positive outlook on Canada’s increased annual immigration target – 52% stated that it would positively affect the Canadian economy.
In comparison, 38% responded with the opposite opinion, 6% were unsure, and 4% were convinced that immigration levels did not affect the economy.
The survey was conducted online and over the phone from February 26 to March 1, 2023. #Survey, #immigration_levels, #immigrate_to_Canada, #immigration_to_Canada

For international students who have graduated from an approved Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI), the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWP) provides a fantastic opportunity to stay in Canada, work and establish their lives.
According to Statistics Canada, approximately 75 percent of PGWP holders acquire permanent residency within five years after they receive the permit.
Undoubtedly, gaining work experience through a PGWP immensely benefits future permanent residents, as many permanent residence pathways reward additional points to individuals with Canadian work experience. #PGWP, #international_students, #DLI, #Canadian_work_experience, #foreign_workers

The Government of Canada is devoted to creating awareness and encouraging citizens to take proactive steps toward recognizing, avoiding, and reporting potential fraud cases.
To maintain a safe and secure immigration process, IRCC has provided clear directions to prevent the possibility of any fraudulent activity.
According to the guidelines, new immigrants should know they do not need an immigration representative to accept their application.
Applicants who receive help from an immigration consultant should ensure they work with licensed Citizenship Consultants.
The Government of Canada also warned that IRCC employees never contact applicants or ask for payment to avoid arrest or deportation. #Immigration_fraud, #Fraud_Prevention_Month, #Fraud
