✅On July 25, 2024, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued 209 invitations for provincial nominations in an Express Entry draw under the Human Capital Priorities stream. The draw targeted candidates with at least six months of experience as general practitioners or family physicians (NOC 31102) and a CRS score between 395 and 444. This follows a recent lowering of eligibility requirements for the Canadian Experience Class. Invited candidates have 45 days to respond, and successful nominations will add 600 points to their CRS score, significantly boosting their chances for permanent residency. .

✅The latest IRCC update reveals that Canada's immigration backlog has risen to 2,292,400 applications, an increase from the previous month's 2,220,000. As of June 30, 2024, 936,600 applications exceeded the IRCC service standards, marking a 6.62% rise since May 31, 2024. Temporary residency applications saw an 11.13% month-on-month increase despite a cap on international students. The backlog also includes citizenship and permanent residency applications, with permanent residency seeing a slight increase. However, citizenship application backlogs have decreased by nearly 6%, with most now being processed within service standards. . Source: www.immigrationnewscanada.ca . .

✅A report by the Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) reveals a decline in citizenship rates among university-educated immigrants, who make up a growing segment of newcomers to Canada. The study, "Naturalization Visualized," shows that the proportion of immigrants becoming citizens within 10 years dropped by 40% from 2001 to 2021, with Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta experiencing the largest declines. The report also highlights a significant drop in naturalization rates across different immigration categories, with family class immigrants showing the lowest rates. Additionally, non-citizen immigrants tend to have lower median incomes and higher unemployment rates than their citizen counterparts. The ICC urges more investment in programs to encourage citizenship uptake.. . Source: www.immigration.ca . . 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞- 𝐀𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮!

✅The IRCC has proposed changes requiring international students in Canada to apply for a new study permit if they switch Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs). This policy aims to enhance compliance and reduce fraud, as DLIs are currently under provincial jurisdiction. While students can attend the new DLI while their application is processed, the change introduces a $150 fee and added administrative burdens, estimated to cost $55.5 million over ten years. DLIs will face compliance costs of $4.8 million. The proposed changes are under consultation until July 29, 2024. . Source: www.cicnews.com . .

✅Ottawa is reviewing regulations to allow international students to work more than the current 20-hour weekly limit off-campus. The review, launched on June 29, aims to address labor shortages while balancing the academic focus of study permits. International students could previously work up to 24 hours weekly during the COVID-19 pandemic, but this was reduced to 20 hours on April 30. An IRCC survey shows that over half of international students would work more if allowed. The proposed change could benefit nearly 300,000 students, increasing their earnings and potentially resolving labor shortages in low-wage industries. . Source: www.immigration.ca . .

✅Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has made significant progress on its Skills Missions initiative, part of the Strategic Immigration Review. These missions aim to attract high-skilled global talent to maintain Canada's labor force and economy. IRCC staff and stakeholders will travel abroad to recruit potential workers, focusing on simplifying the immigration process for employers. The missions will target countries with similar training standards for regulated professions and large labor pools for non-regulated professions. Additionally, IRCC seeks to increase French-speaking immigrants and diversify source countries. The missions will be coordinated by the yet-to-be-appointed Chief International Talent Officer. .

✅Canada is reassessing its long-term visa policy for foreign students in response to immigration and population growth concerns. Immigration Minister Marc Miller highlighted that while universities and colleges have been attracting educated immigrants, study visas should not guarantee future residency or citizenship. Instead, students should come to Canada for education and potentially return home to apply their skills. The government is exploring ways to align the number of international students with labor market demands, ensuring that the influx of foreign students meets the country's economic needs without overburdening resources. .

✅Canada is intensifying measures to protect temporary foreign workers through a $48 million investment over two years. Managed by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), the initiative aims to enhance employer compliance with the Temporary Foreign Worker Programme (TFWP) rules. The funding will support hiring more inspectors, maintaining a worker protection tip line, and implementing rapid response mechanisms. In 2023, ESDC issued $2.1 million in penalties and conducted 2,122 inspections, finding 94% of employers compliant. The government also banned 12 employers from the program. Workers can report abuse via a confidential, multilingual tip line or an online tool. . Source: www.arabianbusiness.com . . 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞, 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭.
