This May, six new paths to permanent residency will open up for essential jobs, foreign student graduates, and French speakers in Canada.Temporary staff in hospitals and long-term care homes, as well as those on the frontlines of other critical industries, as well as foreign student graduates from Canadian educational institutions, will be eligible for the new schemes. On May 6, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will begin accepting applications for the three streams mentioned below:

20,000 applications for contract health-care jobs

30,000 applications for temporary jobs in other important occupations have been sent.

40,000 foreign students who have graduated from a Canadian educational institution have applied.

The streams will be open until November 5, 2021, or until they reach their maximum capacity. Staff in 40 healthcare sectors, as well as 95 other important positions in a variety of industries, such as caregiving and food processing and distribution, are covered by these new government policies.

Staff must have at least one year of work experience in a healthcare career or another pre-approved necessary occupation in Canada to be qualified. International graduates must have completed a qualifying post-secondary programme in Canada during the last four years, and no earlier than January 2017.

To apply, graduates and staff must be fluent in one of Canada’s official languages, meet general admissibility criteria, and be present in Canada, approved to work, and employed at the time of their application.

In a press release, Mendicino said, “These new measures will help those with temporary status prepare their future in Canada, play a key role in our economic recovery, and help us rebuild better.” “Our message to them is straightforward: your position can be transient, but your efforts are permanent—and we want you to stay.”
