✅Ontario’s latest Express Entry draw, held on September 5, invited 86 candidates with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores between 290 and 393 through the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program’s (OINP) French-Speaking Skilled Worker stream. This marks a significant drop in the CRS requirement, as profiles created between September 2023 and 2024 were considered in a general draw, not targeting specific occupations. To qualify, candidates needed work experience in TEER Category 0, 1, 2, or 3 and minimum language benchmarks of CLB 7 in French and CLB 6 in English. This supports Ontario’s effort to attract French-speaking skilled workers. . Source: www.immigration.ca . . 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐣 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚, 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝-𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨.

✅Quebec’s immigration authorities issued 1,417 invitations on September 5 through the Arrima Expression of Interest system. The draw focused on two groups: the first required candidates to have a minimum French proficiency level of 7 and a score of at least 575 on Quebec’s points system. The second group also required French proficiency but targeted applicants with job offers outside Montreal, with no minimum points required. Candidates selected through the Arrima portal can apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ), leading to permanent residence in Canada. The points system prioritizes language skills, work experience, and Quebec’s labor market needs. . Source: www.immigration.ca . .

✅Canada’s study permit system is under scrutiny following the arrest of Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a Pakistani student accused of planning terrorist attacks in New York City. This has intensified anti-immigration sentiment, with students, particularly from India, protesting in Brampton over uncertain futures. The Naujawan Support Network, led by Bikramjit Singh, is demanding extended work permits and fair pathways to permanent residence, as 130,000 students face potential deportation. The protest echoes last year’s when many Indian students faced deportation over forged documents. However, political support has waned, and the students feel abandoned in the current climate. .

✅Saskatchewan has launched two new immigration pathways under its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), targeting skilled workers in agriculture and healthcare. These pathways aim to address labor shortages in both sectors by attracting international talent with industry-specific experience. The Agriculture Talent Pathway will help farmers and agricultural employers meet workforce demands, while the healthcare pathway will assist in filling critical jobs in the medical sector. Applicants must meet specific language, education, and work experience criteria and secure a full-time job offer in Saskatchewan. This initiative is part of the province’s strategy to support economic growth and address national labor shortages. . Source: www.immigration.ca . .

✅Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has introduced a temporary policy allowing certain Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates to apply for open work permits. Effective August 11, 2024, this policy is available to candidates with a valid or recently expired work permit, a job offer, and a support letter from their province confirming their placement in an Expression of Interest pool. The policy remains in effect until December 31, 2024, but may be revoked at any time. The goal is to help eligible newcomers secure work permits more easily while awaiting PNP decisions. .

✅Canada has concluded its Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot, accepting final applications for permanent residence by August 31. Launched in 2019, this five-year, community-driven program aimed to attract immigrants to smaller, remote communities. Eleven communities participated, each inviting up to 125 candidates annually, for a total of 2,750 invitations. Despite calls to make the pilot permanent, the federal government chose to close it, with plans to introduce new immigration pilots this fall. These upcoming programs, the Rural Community Immigration Pilot and the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot, aim to bolster the economies of rural and francophone minority communities. .

✅Canada is tightening its immigration policies by issuing fewer visas and increasing rejections at its borders. In July, 5,853 foreign travellers, including students and workers, were denied entry, the highest number since January 2019. This surge follows criticism of the Trudeau government's handling of housing shortages and high costs, which some link to immigration. Recent polls show growing concerns about immigration levels, influencing border officials' decisions. The immigration department has also approved fewer visas, with study and work permit approvals declining. Increased scrutiny at borders has led to more intense questioning of visa-holders, reflecting a shift in government attitudes. . Source: www.gulfnews.com . .

✅A significant rise in illegal Indian immigration to the USA via Canada has been reported, with 5,152 Indians crossing the border on foot since June, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. Despite strict regulations, the Canada-USA border has seen a 47% increase in Indian migrants this year. Many immigrants are also using the Mexico route and seeking asylum in the UK during transit to Canada. The surge is attributed to Canada’s accessible visa system and soft border. The U.S. and UK governments have urged Canada to tighten its visa screening process, but Canada has yet to respond. . Source: www.telugu360.com . .
