In May this year, Canadian Immigration Minister Sean Fraser was asked by parliament to announce the plans for the expansion of application for temporary residents within 120 days for the permanent residence pathway "Amnesty 2.0" (New TR to PR Pathway) .
In a blink of an eye, September has finally arrived. The latest news has finally been released about when the permanent amnesty of Canadian immigration amnesty will be announced.
from the Immigration Department Shadow Minister Jasraj Singh Hallan revealed in a phone interview with CIC NEWs: "The Immigration Department plans to submit a plan for permanent immigration amnesty on the first day of the House of Representatives ."
According to the original meeting schedule of the House of Representatives, the House of Representatives meeting in September will be held on September 19. But given that Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau just announced that it would set up a new federal holiday on September 19, the resumption time will be postponed to September 20. Therefore, the possibility of the Immigration Ministry announcing plans at the parliamentary meeting of September 21 (next Wednesday).
Although the Canadian Immigration Department has not disclosed details about the amnesty new policy, from the six key points of on which the new policy was formulated in June, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser mentioned in an interview with him in June that , the six key points of , , we are not difficult to see some clues about the new policy:
1) This competitive immigration plan will pay more attention to work experience in Canada and expand the categories of occupations that meet the criteria;
This new policy will increase the proportion of Canadian work experience. The probability of getting maple leaf card with just a graduation certificate or a job offer... Experience it yourself. The increase in eligible occupation categories is good news, but the types of increased categories are likely to be determined based on the degree of shortage in Canada's employment market, while relatively saturated positions do not have these benefits.
Work experience in Canada will become a key factor for future immigration, so international students must work hard after graduation and accumulate work experience in Canada. Overseas workers who are already working must also maintain their work status and must not leave bad retention records.
2) Comprehensively test evidence from other federal immigration programs;
The formulation of the new policy will be comprehensively formulated based on the actual situation of other federal immigration programs, such as federal skilled immigration (FSW), federal experience immigration (CEC) and federal skilled immigration (FST) under the fast track, which is expected to clear the blockage problem of other channels. However, the project has its own unique review standards, and the invitation method is expected to be quite different from other federal projects.
3) Combining the data on labor market and skills shortage, select the target immigration group based on the persistent labor gap; the formulation of the new policy of
will provide more flexible adjustment space in the screening conditions, especially in response to the Canadian labor market and skills shortage. For example, after the reform in March this year, BCPNP will invite applicants for short-term science and technology, early childhood education and medical care occupations in rounds, and further relax the invitation scores to efficiently absorb short-term labor talents.
4) Encourage French-speaking immigrants outside of Quebec Province and immigrants who reside in smaller communities;
non- Quebec applicants who have the advantage of French are expected to receive additional points in this new policy. Applicants who live in remote townships are expected to receive additional points in the new policy.
5) Determine an audit mechanism to adapt to changes in labor market demand and regional economic priorities faster;
targeted candidates for invitations based on labor market shortages are expected to obtain approval of maple leaf cards faster than applicants of ordinary applicants or other projects. Moreover, the applicant's position will have an impact on the assessment results based on the area where he lives.
6) will launch career-based targeted invitation measures based on labor market shortages, or add additional points. target occupations include health services, nursing staff, agriculture, manufacturing, service industries, trade and transportation , etc.
This is very easy to understand. The new immigration policy will further tilt towards Canada's extremely shortage of blue-collar work industry.If your work field is already in the industry named above, then congratulations! What is waiting for you is to buy tickets after the project is issued and get on the train!
Although the Minister of Immigration said that the plan is still in its early stage of development, it is not difficult to see from these key information that the Ministry of Immigration wants to closely link the formulation of the new policy with the shortage of labor in some industries in Canada.
Fraser said in his conversation: "The challenge we are facing now is that the number of people with temporary residence permits in Canada has far exceeded the largest space in our immigration level program. For example, Canada has more than 500,000 people studying in the country with a study visa every year, but Canada's total immigration quota is only 400,000 each year."
Therefore, the so-called "Ambition 2.0" does not necessarily have a lower threshold than other immigration channels. On the contrary, its control over job positions may further increase competition among non-short job applicants .
