✅Canada's Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has introduced an automated tool to expedite the International Experience Canada (IEC) work permit process. The system aims to decrease wait times and enhance the experience for young international workers in Canada. The tool categorizes applications based on complexity and approves eligibility for routine cases, boosting efficiency by expediting decisions. Triage, managed by parameters developed by experienced IRCC officers, streamlines applications for further processing. The eligibility function identifies straightforward cases for streamlined processing, with final decisions made by officers. Importantly, only IRCC officers can reject applications, and the tool, aligned with privacy and human rights standards, does not make refusal recommendations. An algorithmic impact assessment has been conducted to assess the tool's impact, classified as moderate, with measures in place to address potential risks, including discriminatory impacts and privacy concerns. . .

✅Recent cases in the Federal Court of Canada highlight the importance of language proficiency in work permit applications. In the first case, an applicant was denied a permit to work as a Construction Project Coordinator despite having no language requirement for the position. In the second case, a farm worker's application was refused due to language concerns, even though the job had no formal education requirements. The court overturned these decisions, emphasizing the need to provide strong evidence of language proficiency, even when not explicitly mentioned as a prerequisite in the job description. This emphasizes the significance of language skills in Canadian work permit applications. . .

✅The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has unveiled new measures aimed at tightening the criteria for admitting foreign students into the country's colleges and universities. Responding to concerns that the influx of international students is placing significant pressure on housing and the labour market, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced a framework that will require educational institutions to raise their standards for services, support, and outcomes for international students. These changes are set to take effect in time for the fall 2024 semester. Schools meeting the higher standards will receive priority in the processing of student visas, with housing availability being one of the key criteria. Additionally, institutions will be mandated to verify every applicant's acceptance letter directly with the federal government, commencing from December 1, in an effort to combat fraud issues, including cases of individuals arriving in Canada with fake college admission letters. The government will also review the post-graduate work permit program to ensure it aligns with the labour market's needs. This initiative arises from concerns that Canadian educational institutions may be overly reliant on international students for revenue, given that foreign students are charged significantly higher tuition fees compared to Canadian students, resulting in the proliferation of colleges for international students, including those in non-traditional settings such as strip malls and temporary buildings. . .
