Foreign students and immigrants entering Canada will prove to be critical for the economic recovery of the nation. This economic recovery was severely impacted by the recent global pandemic.
There are some institutions that make regular differences in their local communities. These institutions are the best places where Canadians and newcomers get to know the way to combine themselves into the labor market.
The recent global pandemic has negatively affected travel in every country, including Canada. In March 2020, Canada came up with travel restrictions to control the spread of the Covid-19. In spite of this, IRCC continued to process permanent residence applications.
Regular EE draws were held as well. This is simply because Canada needed to attract more eligible highly-skilled people. These individuals were to make their journey to the Great White North to improve the country’s economy.
Additionally, foreign students do not fall under these travel restrictions. New students may also apply for and get study permits. Canada understands the importance of foreign students in its future workforce.
Small business and Canadian employers will largely benefit if newcomers and foreign students are allowed in the country. This will help fulfill their labor requirements.
The need for such immigration is not something new for Canada. Before the pandemic, Canada had an aim to welcome a large number of newcomers each year. Industry leaders and employers have also called for more effective immigration programs.
The simple reason behind this is the aging population of the nation that creates labor shortages. The pandemic just expanded the need for new foreign talents.
Most of the labor shortages are for jobs that require an apprenticeship or a college diploma as the minimum requirement. This requirement is as per the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).
The CFIB also states that small businesses rely on temporary workers and immigrants most of the time to succeed.
Immigrants will have access to “micro-credentials” and short-term programs. These will help them integrate into the labor market fast by updating their skills.
Canadian citizens may also register in these training options. These will help immigrants develop the skills needed to get jobs.
Options to Relocate To Canada for Skilled Workers
Those who have experience in skilled work have several options to choose from while immigrating to Canada. As per the latest Immigration Levels Plan for 2021-2023, Canada targets to allow more than 400,000 new permanent residents each year.
Out of these, close to 60% will immigrate as skilled workers.
The primary path for skilled workers to immigrate to Canada is through three main economic class immigration programs:
- The Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
- The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
- The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
Canadian federal government’s primary application management system, Express Entry, manages these three programs.
Eligible candidates for the EE system can create a profile and enter their information. Based on this data, applicants are given a Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS).
Those who rank the highest are invited to apply for permanent residence in regular EE draws.
