Chapter 0, Canada's Immigration Agency is about to get crazy during this period (until next month)~~~
Next month Canada will announce the immigration reunion plan for parents and grandparents, the immigration level plan for 2023-2025, the Census Data of the Statistics Agency of Canada, and so on.
is expected to see several new year-end immigration policies in the coming weeks, which will lay the foundation for immigration goals and trends next year and beyond.
In late October, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will announce the process of PGP 2022, and on November 1, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will announce the immigration level plan for 2023-2025.
In addition, Statistics Canada will release immigration census data from 2021, which is the first five years.
Also, the minimum comprehensive ranking system (CRS) scores for all newly restored projects may also continue to decline until they are below 500 points!
2022 Parents and Grandparents Reunion Immigration Program
September 6, the IRCC said in an email that applications for the Parents and Grandparents Reunion Immigration Program (PGP) will be open in the coming weeks. Under the program, applicants can guarantee their parents or grandparents to immigrate to Canada.
In the past few years, the IRCC has decided by drawing lots which parents and grandparents are eligible for visas. However, whether this will happen this year has not been confirmed, and the process will be announced in the announcement.
, but requires that the guarantor must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is over 18 years of age and be able to prove that they exceed the minimum income required by the guarantor. A commitment letter is also required to sign, a document that indicates that they are willing to support their parents or grandparents for 20 years (10 years if the guarantor lives in Quebec ).
In 2021, IRCC held a draw for PGP, inviting 30,000 Canadians to guarantee their parents or grandparents to submit applications. The figures were higher last year, to make up for the lower figures in 2020. Due to the pandemic, the IRCC allowed only 10,000 people to apply for PGP in 2020.
2021 Census Report
Statistics Canada releases detailed immigration data every five years. The last time the immigration census data was released was in October 2017.
Statistics Canada collects data from all Canadians every year to better understand the way Canadians live. For example, their income level, the number of people they live with, the language they use, etc. The government uses this data to better evaluate Canadians’ actual living conditions to better predict their needs.
The new census data will show the number of immigrants living in Canada, where they choose to settle, what language they speak at home and how many people they live with. This will help shape the prospects for future immigration programs, such as immigration level programs.
data is expected to be released in the last week of October.
EE score may drop
Last July, IRCC finally restarted the EE lottery for all projects.
htmlThe first draw on July 6th on July 6 invited 1,500 candidates to apply for permanent residence, with the lowest score of the comprehensive ranking system being 557.but after that, the lowest CRS score is steadily decreasing.
's first five games fell by 8 or 9 points, and the last two times fell by only 6 points per time on September 14 and 28 respectively. The latest score on September 28 is 504.
If this trend continues, the draw score of the draw may soon fall below 500 points since the draw with the CRS score of 468 on December 23, 2020.
However, although the score is slowly declining, it is still very high compared to pre-pandemic data (504 points). After all, before the pandemic, CRS scores remained between 450 and 500 points.
And as the score continues to decrease, the number of candidates gradually increases. The previous few draws added 250 candidates per draw, and until the last three draws, the number of ITAs increased by 500 per draw. The 2020 EE plan to invite 3,400-4,500 candidates each time before the pandemic.
2023-2025 Immigration Level Plan
This year, IRCC seems to be ready to set more record-breaking goals!
The goal for 2022 is to add nearly 432,000 permanent residents and will exceed 451,000 by 2024. Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said in June that higher targets could be expected in the coming years, with as many as 500,000 new permanent residents, but he did not specify when it would happen.
This goal is unlikely to be reduced given the current labor shortage and large number of job openings in Canada.
It can be expected that Canada will crazily absorb new immigrants in the future!
