On November 7, 2022, the Government of Canada published new instructions for the public policy allowing certain visitors in Canada to apply for a work permit.
The further instructions state that a visitor approved for an interim authorization to work in Canada may only continue working once a final decision is made if they have left Canada.
Eligibility for this public policy requires all foreign nationals to remain in the country while the IRCC is processing their work permit application.

On November 4, Statistics Canada revealed the Labour Force Survey data for October 2022.
The general unemployment rate has returned to its original state after the observed increases from May-September but is still equivalent to September's 5.2%.
The survey revealed that immigrants successfully secured employment and filled various labour shortages across Canada.
Just over 62% of immigrant adults are employed. Furthermore, those who arrived in Canada within the last five years had an even higher employment rate of 70.7%.

The Canadian government has committed to spending $1.6 billion over six years and $315 million annually after that on processing and settling new immigrants under its ambitious 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan.
The federal government has allocated $50 million toward tackling the processing backlog, as stated in the Fall Economic Statement.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced this after Immigration Minister Sean Fraser tabled the latest Immigration Levels Plan earlier last week.
Within the next six years, annual levels are projected to reach half a million, with the majority being Economic Class.
