The new 2022‒2024 Immigration Levels Plan will allow more international students to immigrate to Canada

According to the 2022‒2024 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada is planning to accept the highest targets in the history of Canadian immigration. One of the largest increases will be in the Federal High Skilled category, which accommodates the applications of international graduates of Canadian institutions. The Canadian Government will increase the number of applications in this category from 55,900 in 2022 to 111,500 in 2024. Canada currently accepts international students under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. However, starting from 2024, the number of applicants accepted under these programs will be increased at least twice. #Immigration_Levels_Plan, #international_Students, #Federal_High_Skilled

Prince Edward Island introduced a new stream to fill in-demand jobs in the province

On March 1, 2022, Prince Edward Island’s Office of Immigration has introduced a new stream to help employers fill in-demand jobs in the province.

The new Occupations in Demand stream will be an employer-driven program that allows employers to hire prospective immigrants to positions, such as nurses, accommodation housekeepers, truckers, or construction labourers that they are unable to fill through the local job market.

According to Matthew MacKay, Economic Growth, Tourism and Culture Minister, “Prince Edward Island is facing significant labour shortages, while also experiencing an increased demand for specific skills.”
