Canada is preparing new immigration programs for temporary residents. Changes in the form of Express Entry are on the way.

Canada is currently working on a fast-track visa program to allow temporary workers and students from abroad.

The Minister of Immigration Sean Fraser told CBC News that the new program would provide permanently for those who are temporary residents. It will be comparable but not the same as previous programs like the temporary residence to permanent residency (TR2PR) program that provided access to 90,000 workers who are essential to the country and graduate students last year.

“We are looking at the best way forward to provide a permanent route for temporary residents,” Fraser said to CBC News.

Following his appointment as Immigration Minister, Fraser has been given the task to “expand ways towards Permanent Residence for international students and temporary foreign workers.” The time is now; Fraser has 120 days to devise an action plan to accomplish these goals as stipulated by the motion approved by the Canadian House of Commons.

“That sets me on the clock to develop the framework for this new permanent residency route that is not only for students studying abroad and temporarily employed workers from abroad,” Fraser said.

Additional details on the program’s new format will be available on September 8, when Fraser’s 120-day deadline has passed.

Express Entry is now a different system.

Canada is once more inviting Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) applicants in the process of applying for permanent residency in July. However, this isn’t the only change to be expected.

Bill C-19 is advancing through the Senate and is close to becoming law. It will grant Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) the ability to select Express Entry candidates to join the pool following an economic objective like the ability to work, French-language proficiency, or education credentials.

IRCC must engage in a consultation process to decide which categories that comprise Express Entry candidates will be allowed to be drawn in these types of draws. Additionally, IRCC must report annually to the Parliament, describing the goals of economics set in each case.

How do I get into Canada as a temporary resident?

While it’s not required to be located in Canada to be qualified for an immigration program, studies have proven that those with Canadian experience are more likely to receive more opportunities and higher levels of work in the first year after arriving than immigrants who were immigrants directly.

Canadian studies or working experience could also provide the opportunity to join many other immigration programs.

To pursue a degree in Canada, it is necessary to be accepted into a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and get a Study permit. If you complete the full-time course of at least eight months, you could be eligible to apply for a PGWP or Postgraduate Work Permit (PGWP) that can be used by many to get Canadian working experience.

A working permit is typically required for work in Canada. There are over 100 work permit options, divided into two types: Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) work permits and International Mobility Program (IMP) work permits. The main distinction between the two is that TFWP allows employers to submit a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). At the same time, IMP work permits are designed to help support Canada’s economic, cultural, and social priorities. IMP working permits can be exempt from the LMIA since the work done by those who have these permits is proven to be of great benefit to Canada or the result of an agreement with a different country.

How do you get your immigration documents via Express Entry?

Express Entry is a management system that covers the three Canadian immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class, and the Federal Skilled Trades Program. To be eligible for this Express Entry pool of candidates, you must be eligible for one of these programs.

After you’ve been accepted into the draw, you will receive an IRCC score based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The CRS considers your professional experience in a profession that is skilled as well as your study experience, ability to speak a language, age, and other factors that affect your economic situation. The more points you accumulate in CRS more likely that you’ll be granted An invitation to apply (ITA) to become a Canadian permanent resident.

Express Entry applicants in the pool could be asked to apply for a province-wide nomination via a provincial nomination Program (PNP). If you take the invitation to nominate for a provincial nomination, you will be awarded 600 points in CRS. This will ensure that you’ll be awarded an ITA when entering the next Express Entry draw.

The ITA is the main requirement when making an application for Canadian immigration via Express Entry. When IRCC gets an answer to your ITA, their standard of processing for responding is six months. The pandemic is slowing down processing times, but they are still, and the wait times for the moment can be found on the IRCC website.
