New Pathway to Canada！

Hello World! It is getting warm in Vancouver. I feel like Spring has finally come these days.

Today we would like to share the good news from the Canadian government announced on April 14, 2021.

In short, more people may be eligible to immigrate to Canada！

90K essential temporary workers and graduates offered new pathway to residency

As of April 14, 2021, the New policy will allow up to 90,000 workers and international graduates to obtain permanent residency.

The background information quote is as below.

“As a result of the pandemic, attention has been placed on the ongoing need to fill certain essential occupations. By granting permanent resident status to those with experience in these occupations, Canada will be leveraging immigration, including Francophone immigration outside of Quebec, to help stabilize this workforce both for pandemic recovery and into the future. In addition, these existing temporary foreign workers have made extraordinary contributions to Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic and in some cases face difficulty in qualifying and applying for permanent residence. The public policy responds directly to this contribution and these challenges by implementing measures that create a temporary pathway to permanent residence.”

Effective May 6, 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will begin accepting applications under the following 3 streams:

20,000 applications for temporary workers in health care
30,000 applications for temporary workers in other selected essential occupations
40,000 applications for international students who graduated from a Canadian institution
