    Open Work Permit Update: New Policy For International Students In Canada

    Work permit update

    The Canadian government has recently introduced a new policy for students from abroad affected by Covid 19. It would extend an opportunity to gather work experience that they would need to be eligible for becoming permanent Canadian residents.

    Canada Immigration 2021
    On January 08, 2021, the Government of Canada came up with a new policy that would allow the present international students in Canada with an expiring or expired PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit) to apply for a new open work permit. This move is a plan to welcome nearly 1,200,000 new permanent residents into Canada by 2023. According to Universities Canada, it would be a positive signal for the International Students.

    According to the Minister of Irrigation, Refugees, and Citizenship – Marco Mendicino, immigrants would enrich Canada in unimaginable ways. The country’s progress cannot be complete without taking into account the contribution of the new residents.

    Benefits
    The latest immigration target announced by the government is a positive signal to indicate that Canada is more than eager to accommodate skilled talents from all over the world. The graduates of Canadian universities can benefit from immigration if they are looking to stay post completing their studies. According to a leading law firm dealing with immigration, the study permit happens to be the main road for entry into Canada. It allows entering the country and taking up studies of one’s choice, and once that’s finished, the person can apply for a post-graduate work permit. The work permit is a flexible and open permit that allows a person to work at any location of choice in Canada.

    Duration
    The maximum duration of such a work permit is three years. The day a person completes a year of employment in Canada, he/she becomes eligible to be a permanent resident. As per IRCC (Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada) and PNP, it can help achieve the Canadian Immigration target.

    New Open Work Permit
    The new open work permit (not to be confused with a study visa or study permit) will be valid for one and a half years. It will enable existing international students to continue staying in Canada and keep looking for job opportunities. It is different from a closed work permit that ties an individual to only a single employer.

    Application Rules
    To apply for a new open work permit, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

    There has to be a PGWP.
    The expiry date of the PGWP has to be January 30, 2020, or after that. Else, the expiry date has to be 120 days or less at the time of application.
    The person has to be in Canada at that time.
    There has to be a valid temporary status. If not, an application should have been submitted already for status restoration.
    Note: The above application process will run from January 27, 2021, to July 27, 2021.

    It has been estimated that the PGWP is exceptionally coveted, and more than half of the international students want to become permanent Canadian residents. The Canada Administration has realized that the corona pandemic has put graduating students at a disadvantage because of a weak labor market resulting in massive layoffs. It is expected that the new policy will help to fill people in critical sectors like technology and health care, as evident from LMIA.

  • Canada welcomed a historic number of 45,000 new immigrants in September

    Canada welcomed a historic number of 45,000 new immigrants in September

    Canada is back on track to achieve its target of 401,000 new immigrants in 2021. It needs to continue welcoming at least 45 thousand per month for the rest of this year to reach the ambitious goal by then.

    According to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, 45,000 new immigrants arrived in Canada in September.

    This figure is easily the highest in modern Canadian history and it’s among one of, if not the most high numbers ever recorded. Unfortunately there are no records before September 2021 for comparison which leaves us with nothing but guesses as to where this month will end up amongst all time highs.

    According to independent historian Robert Vineberg, September is unlikely to be the all-time high since, throughout the first century of Canada’s history, the vast majority of newcomers arrived during the warmer spring and summer months. For example, he calculates that up to 80% of the 401,000 immigrants admitted by Canada in 1913 came between May and September (an estimated average of 64,000 immigrants per month).

    The Canadian immigration system has been struggling to process applications during the pandemic. Prior to the epidemic, Canada welcomed an average of 25-35 thousand new immigrants per month with monthly permanent resident landings at 4000 which was lowest in the modern era.

    The rest of the year saw a steady recovery in landings, but not at the rate required to meet Canada’s aim of welcoming 341,000 new immigrants by 2020. Last year, Canada received only 184,000 new immigrants.

    To make up for it, the federal government has chosen to double down on immigration, aiming for 401,000 new arrivals this year, which would tie the yearly record established in 1913. Canada had a good start to the year before losing momentum. However, beginning in June, Canada began to ramp up the pace with the arrival of 35,000 immigrants.

    Canada converted to permanent residence

    A landing occurs when a foreign national sees their legal status in Canada converted to permanent residence. This can take place for an individual entering Canada from overseas or for those living here transitioning into becoming citizens of this great country.

    This distinction is significant since Canada is now concentrating on transitioning existing residents to permanent residents.

    The Canadian government has been narrowing its focus on landing permanent residents from abroad this year to welcome 401,000 immigrants. The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is guided by the rationale that those in Canada are less likely to be impacted by COVID interruptions such as travel restrictions which may delay immigration processing at ports-of-entry or other delays.

    The emphasis on transferring individuals already in Canada explains why the country’s population growth has been historically low, despite historically large immigration. Statistics Canada stated in September that the country’s population expanded by only 0.5 percent in the previous year, the slowest rate since the First World War. Prior to the pandemic, Canada’s population expanded by more than 1% per year over the better part of two decades, with new permanent immigrants from other countries accounting for a large portion of the increase.

    This year, Canada has received 267,000 immigrants. To meet its 401,000 newcomer objective, it will need to accept 134,000 extra immigrants between October and December. This equates to around 45,000 new permanent residents every month.

    IRCC has put itself up to meet this goal.

    It staged the largest Express Entry draw in history on February 13th, inviting 27,332 Canadian Experience Class individuals to apply for permanent residency. Given the time it takes an invitee to file their permanent residence application and the time it takes IRCC to complete it, we should expect many of these persons to be granted permanent residency by the end of this year.

    Furthermore, in May, IRCC created six temporary streams that allow up to 90,000 current residents to seek for permanent residence. According to the agency, it plans to complete 40,000 applications by 2021.

    Canada relaxed travel restrictions on all verified permanent residents in June, allowing them to enter the country and finish their immigration process. Canada has also just relaxed its prohibition on flights from India, the country’s largest supplier of immigration.

    The combination of these key factors, as well as additional IRCC measures, puts Canada in a great position to meet the 401,000 immigration objective by the end of 2021.

  • How to Apply for LMIA in 2021 2022?

    How to Apply for LMIA in 2021 2022?

    The changes to the international labor market due to the COVID19 pandemic have also had an impact on Canadian jobs. In 2021, things have greatly changed and the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) saw several changes too. Formally known as Labor Market Opinion (LMO), LMIA is when a Canadian employer tries to hire a local Canadian for a job and is unable to find the right candidate.

    The employer will issue an LMIA after advertising for the job role within Canada but without any luck. However, an LMIA can only be issued after making all possible efforts and proving that none of the local applicants were qualified enough. Receiving a positive LMIA letter from Social Development Canada is a confirmation that the employer can hire an international candidate.

    The process is simple; the employer applies for the LMIA and waits for approval. Once the employer gets the approval, he or she can send a job offer letter for the right candidate. The candidate can then apply for a work permit. A work permit application must include the job offer letter, a copy of the LMIA and the LMIA number.

    LMIA Canada New Rules 2021 2022

    As mentioned before, there have been a handful of changes across all labor markets in the world, as well as in Canada. As for the LMIA process, all jobs are now divided into two categories:

    1. A high-wage category: where the salary exceeds the median wage in the province.
    2. A low-wage category: where the salary is below the median wage in the province.

    LMIA request application fees have also been increased from $275 to $1000 per worker.

    LMIA Requirements

    Hiring Workers on a High-Wage

    All employers must meet the requirements of the Transition Plan, which is part of the Schedule C form of the LMIA application. This is compulsory when the employer decides to hire a foreign candidate at a high wage. The transition plan typically represents a commitment from the employer indicating that he or she has agreed upon a certain occupation within the province of work.

    Hiring Workers on a Low-Wage

    Unlike the employment of high-wage workers, hiring low-wage workers does not require a transition plan. However, when applying for LMIA, there is a limit to the number of workers an employer can hire at the low-wage rates.

    Hiring with an LMIA

    To meet the shortfall of workers and laborers in Canada, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) allows all employers to hire temporary foreign employees. Once the employer has been issued an LMIA, the duty to direct each worker towards obtaining a work permit falls on the employer alone.

    Giving simple instructions for applying for a work permit for Canada is a good idea. Every worker must include a job offer letter, a copy of the LMIA and the LMIA issue number.

    Hiring without an LMIA

    There is a way of hiring foreign workers without applying for LMIA. The International Mobility Program (IMP) allows employers to hire foreign workers easily. In case the employer wishes to hire without an LMIA, he or she will need:

    • To bear the cost of employer compliance fee,
    • And to submit the offer letter through Employer Portal.

    Processing Times for LMIA

    Due to the impact of COVID19 and global lockdowns, Canada is experiencing a higher number of LMIA applications in 2021. This can result in longer processing times and possible delays but the applications are being processed.

    The list below displays recent processing times per LMIA stream. This is to provide an overview of the estimated timeline of each application:

    Type of Application

    Average Processing Time 2021 – 2022

    Global Talent Stream

    8 business days

    Agricultural Stream

    13 business days

    Seasonal Agricultural Program

    7 business days

    Permanent Residence Stream

    17 business days

    In-Home Caregivers

    13 business days

    High-Wage Stream

    33 business days

    Low-Wage Stream

    29 business days

    What are the Next Steps?

    When an employer gets LMIA approval, a copy of the letter along with Annex A is sent to the foreign worker. The foreign worker will then apply for a work permit under the aforementioned application types. The processing time starts on the day an application has been submitted.

    Saskatchewan continues to hold multiple SINP draws

    The Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program (SINP) regularly searches the IRCC’s Express Entry pool to find candidates who may meet the criteria of one of Saskatchewan’s Express Entry immigration streams. The SINP collects individuals from the Express Entry Pool to personally invite them to live and work in Saskatchewan.

    Through the SINP, Saskatchewan:

    • invites residency applications from non-Canadians who want to make Saskatchewan their home; and
    • nominates successful applicants to the federal government, so they can gain permanent residency in Canada.

    On October 31, Saskatchewan conducted another draw for its provincial nomination. This is the 11th draw since September 25, and more than 4500 invitations have been issued. The SINP issued 858 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates using the EOI system.

    What is EOI?

    EOI serves as ‘pre-application’ in SINP. Candidates have to answer questions based on work experience, education, and proficiency in English or French, etc. The candidates are given a score out of 100 based on their answers. One has to score a minimum of 60 to qualify. The candidates are then ranked based on their scores.
    The candidates were chosen from the federal Express Entry system and Saskatchewan’s Occupation In-Demand sub-category. Neither of these requires the candidate to have a job offer.

    Federal Express Entry

    The minimum cut-off score for Express Entry candidates for this draw was 68 points. The Express Entry candidates who received an invitation for SINP received an extra 600 points in their CRS score. It will increase their probability of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the next Federal draw. Express Entry consists of the following three categories:

    • Federal Skilled Worker Class
    • Federal Skilled Trades Class
    • Canadian Experience Class

    SINP Occupation In-Demand

    In mid-September, SINP changed to an Excluded Occupations List making the number of eligible occupations to more than 200. The candidates who received an invite through the Occupations In-Demand sub-category will be able to apply for Canadian PR directly through SINP.

  • Fastest Growing Industries in Canada Retail, HealthCare and Technology

    Fastest Growing Industries in Canada Retail, HealthCare and Technology

    Despite the pandemic, 76% of Canadian employees and business owners say their company is growing. In fact, 20% say their business is growing more than expected. The industries expected to see the most growth in 2021 and beyond are those that connect us and care for us. We’re talking about technology, health care, and retail trade.

    Technological advancements drove growth for software developers

    The growth of the technology industry isn’t a surprise, given Canada’s history of technological investments. Canada boasts the world’s highest-educated workforce and is home to more than 2.8 million STEM graduates. With more than 41,000 tech companies across the country, Canada is the sixth most represented country in terms of developer talent.

    39% of survey respondents in the software development field said that new technology is driving change and growth for their industry. And what’s more, they believe it will continue to do so over the next decade. 82% of workers in this industry say their company is growing.

    This optimism is reflected in Canada’s overall projections for job and sector growth. The Canadian healthcare industry is working to double the number of health and bioscience firms by 2025. Likewise, technology-related jobs are expected to grow between 15% and 22% by 2027, while retail is predicted to increase jobs by about 20% by 2028.

  • Move to Canada with the Agri-Food Pilot Program in 2021

    Move to Canada with the Agri-Food Pilot Program in 2021

    move to Canada

    The three-year agri-food pilot program aims is another interesting category introduced by the government to fill labour shortages in certain industries. These are particularly in the meat processing and mushroom production sectors within the agri-food. The agriculture and agri-food industry are an important contributor to Canada’s economic growth and balance that has been creating many critical jobs in Canada.

    With this program the government is looking to help the agri-food sector bring in full-time, non-seasonal foreign workers needed to fill growing labour gaps.
    This new pilot aims to attract and retain workers by providing them with an opportunity to become permanent residents following an initial two-year stint on a temporary work permit, instead of having to renew their work permits repeatedly.

    Looking for a job?Find all latest jobs here www.ciccanadajobs.com×Dismiss this alert.

    Every year a maximum of 2,750 principal applicants, excluding family members, will be accepted under this program. This represents a total of approximately 16,500 possible new permanent residents over the three-year duration of the pilot. There are specific occupations in the agriculture sector that qualify under this pilot. The occupations and industries eligible under the pilot include:

    1. Meat processing workers: retail butcher, industrial butcher, food processing labourer
    1. Harvesting labourer for year-round mushroom production and greenhouse crop production.
    2. General farm worker for year-round mushroom production, greenhouse crop production, or livestock raising.
    3. Farm supervisor and specialized livestock worker for meat processing, year-round mushroom production, greenhouse crop production or livestock raising.

    The Agri-Food Immigration Pilot will test a new, industry-specific approach to help address the labour needs of the Canadian agri-food sector, particularly in meat
    processing and mushroom production. The sector has been experiencing skilled labour shortage for a long time. While immigration in the agricultural sector is largely based on seasonal workers, this pilot aims to enhance the benefits of economic immigration to the agri-food sector by testing a new pathway to permanent residence. This program is a completely different initiative from the seasonal worker program which is designed to run for less than a year for low-skilled candidates for varied roles. 

    While immigration in the agricultural sector is largely based on seasonal workers, this pilot aims to enhance the benefits of economic immigration to the agri-food sector by testing a new pathway to permanent residence. This program is a completely different initiative from the seasonal worker program which is designed to run for less than a year for low-skilled candidates for varied roles. 

    The pilot will seek to attract experienced, non-seasonal workers who can economically establish in Canada, and who support the ongoing labour needs of the agri-food sector.

    Overall, the pilot will focus on attracting professionals like retail butchers, industrial butchers, food processing labourers, harvesting labourers, general farm workers, and farm supervisors and specialized livestock workers.

    Settlement Funds – It is imperative to note that the program have enough money to support yourself and your family members upon settlement in Canada.
    Those already working in Canada with a valid work permit are not required to provide proof of funds.

    The Agri-Food Pilot helps address the labour needs of the Canadian agri-food sector therefore a candidate with similar background related to the specific NOC code
    under which they qualify may apply for this program.

    The Agri-food pilot provides a pathway to permanent residence for experienced, non-seasonal workers in specific industries and occupations. It will run until May 2023 until any changes apply.

  • Why Canada Foreign Worker Recruitment needs immediate attention?

    Why Canada Foreign Worker Recruitment needs immediate attention?

    Canada foreign worker recruitment is at its peak level as the requirements are high these days. Canada is immigrant depended and one should know that clearly. Canada’s economy is driven by its immigration level plan. Despite the pandemic situation Canada never stops accepting applications for Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Program, Work permit, Study permit, etc.

    Canada’s recent updates to support its labour market:

    1. Visitor visa holders are getting more time to apply for a new closed work permit as IRCC to facilitate them with work permit extension where they can find a new employer-specific work permit for them.

    2. Post-graduate work permit holders to get an extra 18 months extension in their open work permit. Those who study online and about to complete 100% course are also applicable for the PGWP.

    3. Business visitors can work without a work permit under the international mobility program

    4. Short-term students in a foreign health care program can also work without a work permit under the international mobility program. Soon various provinces like Saskatchewan, Alberta are coming with a new policy to increase the immigrant density.
