Ontario recently released its allocation for this year as Canada invites aspiring migrators to settle in the country through various programmes and support a large number of permanent residency applications via PNPs.
Ontario will be issuing 8,350 nominations, excluding 250 specifically for temporary foreign workers employed in a profession falling under NOC skill level C.
As Ontario held two draws on May 26, 2021, a total of 158 international students are now eligible to apply under Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program.
The candidates who had submitted their profiles in the new Expression of Interest (EOI) pool and fulfilled the Ontario Employer Job Offer: International Student Stream were invited under OINP.
After months of restraints and limitations on travel, a relief is expected soon. If you have been holding back your plans to travel to Canada for study, immigration, or other purposes because of travel restrictions, then there is good news for you. Canadian Government is considering the relaxation of cross-border travel restrictions in the coming months.
The Government plans to relax the quarantine obligation for exempt travelers in its initial step to ease travel restriction. The only condition applicable is that the traveler needs to be fully vaccinated for Covid-19.
Most of the immigrants in Canada have received their Permanent Resident Cards through Spousal Sponsorship.
Canada is targeting to welcome 80,000 new immigrants annually from 2021 till 2023 through sponsorship. The new immigrants will be the Spouses, Partners, and Children of Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
Due to global pandemic the process for spousal sponsorship has been delayed but IRCC will start to process the applications quickly once COVID-19 is contained.
On May 6, 2021, IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) launched six new permanent residence (PR) streams for essential workers and international graduates.
