October Report Shows Immigrants Have A High Rate Of Employment In Canada

Labour Force Survey data for October 2022 indicates rising levels of employment in Canada.

Statistics Canada report noted the biggest gains in employment, particularly in manufacturing, construction and accommodation, and food services. Employment gains in Canada occurred mainly in the core working age group of 25-54 years old

Most new employment occurred in Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

The private sector in Canada recruited more individuals in October 2022, seeing an increase in employment for the first time since March 2022.

The report showed wage raises by 25% over the last year for every six in ten employees who had been with their employer for at least 12 months. 53.6% of those employed in healthcare and social services received a raise.

Immigration-led employment gains

23% of Canada’s population is an immigrant confirmed 2021 census data on immigration which was recently released. These immigrants are people who are or have ever been landed immigrants or permanent residents in Canada.

The survey also found immigrants who arrived in Canada over the past five years had an employment rate of 70.7%. We know for a fact that a quarter of registered nurses and 36% of physicians in Canada are not Canadian-born.

Australia To Cap Work Hours For Foreign Students From July 2023

Unrestricted work rights applicable for student visa holders will end on 30 June 2022.

Last year’s policy from the federal government of Australia allowed ongoing students including new student arrivals to be able to work more than 40 hours a fortnight in any sector of the economy. This freed up thousands of international students to work an endless number of hours for employers in Australia, which was never the case earlier.

Australia has now revised its decision and capped the number of hours a Student visa holder will be allowed to work after 30 June 2023.

The official statement read, “The number of hours will be revised with a view to finding the right balance between work and study.”

Further, the announcement directed aspiring prospects willing to study abroad in Australia to balance their study and work commitments evenly. Foreign students must look to maintain their course enrolment, and ensure satisfactory course attendance, and course progress.

Further, Student visa conditions may be violated if holders cancel their enrolment and stop attending classes for sake of work in Australia.

Take this free assessment to determine your eligibility for a study visa abroad.

Post-study work rights for foreign students in Australia

“At the moment, only 16% of international students stay on after their studies end,” noted Jason Clare, Australia’s Minister for Education.

Therefore, Australia is looking for various ways to enable International students in Australia with in-demand skills to stay and work in the country for longer.

Further, Australia will invest an additional AUS$36.1 million to minimize visa processing delays and improve the recovery of the international education sector after the borders reopened earlier this year.

Canada has released a new three-year projection on immigration intake which the departments are expected to achieve in a phased manner.

Canada will target 465,00 new immigrants in 2023.

485,000 new immigrants will be targeted annually in 2024.

The annual intake level will rise to over 500,000 new immigrants in 2025.

New Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025

The Immigration Levels Plan only sets a guideline and the actual number of immigrant landings in Canada depends on the prevailing government policy and department efficiency to issue visas on time.

For instance, Canada created an all-time immigration record by welcoming over 405,000 immigrants in 2021 and is expected to close nearly 432,000 immigrants this year.

IMMIGRATION LEVELS PLAN	2023	2024	2025
Projected admissions-Targets	465,000	485,000	500,000
Federal economic, provincial/territorial nominees	266,210	281,135	301,250
Family Reunification ( Spousal visa/PGP)	106,500	114,000	118,000

Express Entry & PNP targets will rise

Canada will target nearly 60 percent of the total target under the economic class pathways like Express Entry, the Provincial Nominee Program, Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program, and Federal Business programs.

The 2023-2025 annual targets for Express Entry landings (principal applicants, spouses, and dependents)

82,880 in 2023
109,020 in 2024
114,000 in 2025

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is expected to create another record-breaking promise by targeting over 100,000 annual intakes through Canada Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) alone.

The PNP targets for 2023-2025 are as follows:

105,500 in 2023
110,000 in 2024
117,500 in 2025

Family Immigration programs boosted

About 24% of the total target is reserved for family class sponsorship programs alone. In fact, it is the second largest permanent residence class set out by the Immigration Levels Plan.

About 78,000 are set to arrive under the Spouses, Partners, and Children Program, and another 28,500 are set to arrive under the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) in 2023.

Subsequently, 80,000 and 82,000 new immigrants will be targeted under the Spouses, Partners, and Children Program in 2024 and 2025 respectively. The annual targets in 2024 and 2025 under the PGP would be increased to 34,000 and 36,000 respectively.

Simplify Canada Immigration with CanApprove

During the pandemic, Canada converted more on-shore candidates or those on temporary residence visas to permanent residence visas to meet its annual target.

This time around, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser hopes to invite more off-shore skilled candidates who could contribute to Canada’s economy and tackle the labor skill gap.

This will more likely open up more chances for aspirants with at least three years of work experience outside Canada to qualify for direct Canada PR or academic qualification to study in Canada to obtain a student visa and eventually qualify for Canada PR.

Many apply for Canadian immigration using program guides, online form submissions, timely online updates, etc., on government websites.

A recently released survey report on Canadian immigration shows that the local population is more supportive of welcoming more immigrants than ever. Nearly 70% of Canadians were found to disagree or strongly disagree when asked if Canada’s immigration levels were too high.

This is the most support shown for immigration in the survey’s 45-year history.

The sample size of the telephonic survey was 2,000 Canadians. It further reveals that the overall support for elevated levels of immigration has increased among supporters of the various political parties since 2021: federal Liberal Party (up 4%), NDP (up 4%), and Green Party (up 19%).

Prince Edward Island held a new provincial nomination draw on October 20 resulting in 204 142 invitations to apply (ITAs) for a provincial nomination under either one of the three streams: Express Entry, Labour, and Business streams.

Over 194 invitations were issued to Express Entry and Labour Impact candidates and the remaining 10 invitations went to candidates under the Business Work Permit Entrepreneur streams.
The qualifying threshold for business invitations is 72 under the unique provincial points grid.

Take this free assessment online to determine your eligibility to get a provincial nomination.

Qualify for Canada PR Under PEI PNP

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are designed to accommodate the specific and specialized labor market demand of Canada’s provinces and territories. A successful provincial nomination will act in favor of reducing the time taken to obtain permanent residency at a later stage.

In order to be considered for nominations under PEI PNP provincial draws, candidates must create an Expression Of Interest (EOI) profile with the province. EOI profiles are given points based on the province’s unique points grid. The highest-scoring candidates are then invited to apply through monthly draws.

PEI PNP Express Entry & Labout Impact category

If a candidate is already registered in the federal Express Entry pool, they could qualify for provincial nomination under the PEI PNP Express Entry category.

Foreigners like Skilled Workers, Critical Workers, and International Graduates with a valid job offer in PEI, and having support from their employer may qualify under the Labour Impact category.

PEI PNP Business Impact category

Prince Edward Island also favors the immigration of foreign entrepreneurs to boost its economy. Such candidates are issued invitations under the Work Permit Stream, which is for foreign entrepreneurs who want to own and operate a business in PEI.

Further, eligible candidates with a successful provincial nomination can apply to the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency.

Future of PEI PNP Draws

The division between provincial invitations issued over the last 12 months:

Business Invitations over the last 12 months – 8% (137)
Labour Invitations over the last 12 months – 92% (1639)

Population growth is seen as important to sustaining the economic growth in Atlantic Canada. Recognizing this, the four Atlantic provinces – Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick – are making significant efforts to welcome and retain more immigrants.

Interestingly, Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province yet has the country’s highest population growth rate. Thus, it enjoys Canada’s highest per capita intake of foreign newcomers.

Other active PNP includes that from British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia. You can read about the latest Canada PNP draw updates here.

Statistics Canada released its latest census report on the immigrant population in Canada. The report is titled “Portrait of Immigration to Canada” and reveals that 23% of Canada’s population is, or has been, a landed immigrant or permanent resident of the country.

Canada accounts for 8.3 million immigrants in 2021 and the report forecasts the immigrant population in Canada to go as high as 34% by 2041.

Take this free assessment online to discover if you are eligible for Canadian Immigration.

Major findings in the 2021 census report

The vast majority of newcomers are between 25 to 54 years old

Immigration in Canada is seen as a means to support the aging demography and lower birth rates among the native population.

As a result, the 2021 census finds that 10.9% of the new immigrants that arrived in Canada between 2016 and 2021 were adults aged 15 to 24. The vast majority among them were core-aged workers who were between 25 to 54 years old.

Immigrants prefer settling outside of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver

92.2% of Canada’s recent immigrants in 2021 still lived in one of the top Canada census metropolitan areas (CMAs) among 41 other urban centers – Toronto (29.5%), Montreal (12.2%), and Vancouver (11.7%).

However, the share of recent immigrants settling in these three Canadian cities continues to fall as other CMAs across Canada like the national capital region of Ottawa-Gatineau or Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo are seeing a rise in immigrant settlements. Other urban centers preferred by newcomers in Canada are Calgary, Abbotsford–Mission, Edmonton, Hamilton, Winnipeg, and Windsor.

Additionally, close to 10,000 new immigrants arrived in the Atlantic Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Labrador) under the Atlantic Immigration Program, designed to fill urgent job vacancies in the region. The majority of them chose to stay in Atlantic Canada after one year.

More immigrants from Middle East & Asia

Asian countries (including the Middle East) are the top source region of newcomers to Canada and contributes some 62% of the recent immigrant arrivals.

The leading source country of Canada’s newcomers are India, (18.6%), The Philippines (11.4%), followed by China (8.9% of newcomers).

The report also noted the share of newcomers from Africa has also increased.

Anybody with work experience in popular in-demand occupations like Health, Business, Finance, Sales, or Engineering/IT has a good chance of qualifying for Canada PR.

This has led to a decrease in the Canadian immigration application backlog.

Fill in this free online assessment to know more about your eligibility for various other immigration programs.

Upcoming Changes to the Express Entry System in 2023

Canada has issued invitations to over 30,000 immigrants in 2022 under FSWP, CEC & FSTP programs.

IRCC is planning to close labor force gaps by introducing some changes to Express Entry draws. The department is expected to issue ITAs to individuals with specific work experience, education, or language ability. The occupation group choice would depend on Canada’s prevailing market demand.

This will have an impact on the relevance of CRS scores in some instances and they may become less vital in some future draws.

You can get in touch with our expert consultants to know your chances of qualifying.

Self-Employed Physicians Can Apply Under Express Entry for PR

Until now, physicians or doctors who practice in Canada could not qualify for Express Entry programs since they were considered self-employed.

Being self-employed in Canada for the purpose of gaining work experience did not make them eligible for most economic immigration pathways, including Express Entry.

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser recently announced new measures to enable physicians to apply under Express Entry and directly qualify for Canadian permanent residency.

However, if you’re self-employed with at least one year of work experience in your home country, you can still apply for permanent residency through the Express Entry program.

How to Qualify for Canada PR via Express Entry?

Immigration in Canada means obtaining permanent residency.

After registration of profiles online, the profiles are assessed and ranked based on the CRS score.

Such profiles are evaluated on a total of 1200 points. The human capital criteria like

age,
education,
work experience outside Canada,
language proficiency in English/French,
spouse adaptability,
Canadian study experience, etc. are considered for evaluation purposes.

Canada Completes Immigration Lottery For Parents and Grandparents Program 2022

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have now completed the lottery for the new Parents and Grandparents Program 2022 (PGP).

Canada announced the intake process under the much-awaited PGP 2022 a couple of weeks ago. Reportedly, IRCC issued 23,100 invitations to apply to sponsors in the 2022 PGP pool.

Canada revealed some 155,000 interest to sponsor remain in the pool. Interest to sponsor from Canadians looking to bring their parents and grandparents to Canada currently continues to far outpace the number of application spots available.

With the 2022 PGP lottery process complete, IRCC expects to accept 15,000 completed applications for sponsorship among the 23,100 invitees.

Previous Parents and Grandparents Program Draws

During the pandemic, IRCC held Canada family sponsorship lotteries in the autumn of 2020 and 2021. In recent years, sponsors were randomly selected sponsors who submitted an expression of interest forms on the IRCC website.

Prior to the pandemic, IRCC was exploring other ways to manage the PGP as the demand to sponsor parents and grandparents far exceeds the number of spots.

For 2020 and 2021, IRCC received some 200,000 expressions of interest forms for family sponsorship and the department processed 40,000 application intakes under the PGP 2020 and 2021.

Canada Family Sponsorship Visa – About the Parents and Grandparents Program

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their parents and grandparents to immigrate to Canada. Parents and grandparents who are approved under this program may obtain permanent residency.

Sponsor applications for PGP 2022 must fulfill the following conditions:

be 18 years of age or older,
be Canadian citizens, permanent residents, or status First Nations, and
have the means to support the family member they are sponsoring.

IRCC will process PGP applications in between 20-24 months, even in 2022.

A signed undertaking for a period of upto 20 years will be required from interested sponsors. This undertaking sets out how long the sponsor will be financially responsible for the family members they are sponsoring from the time they become permanent residents of Canada.

Statistics Canada Releases Report On Immigration Selection Factors And The Earnings Of Principal Applicants

Canada analyzed the group of immigrants from 2005-2015 and their earnings from 2006-2017 in the recent report on immigration selection factors and the earnings of principal applicants.

Statistics Canada released a similar report in 2015 that helped in the development of Express Entry’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), paving way for a direct permanent residency pathway for foreign workers based on their age, language proficiency, academic qualifications, and work experience.

Findings in the report

The report studied the characteristics of immigrant applicants at the time of landing and their earnings in Canada.

The report noted the main factors impacting the short-term earnings (one to two years) of immigrants:

Prior work experience in Canada – every year of prior Canadian work experience before qualifying under Express Entry equated to an 84% increase in earnings
Language ability – those who were fluent in either English or French, the two official languages in Canada, earned 29% more than those who were not
Education – receiving a Bachelor’s degree (15 years of schooling) earned 12-24% more in the short term

The report noted the main factors impacting the medium-term (five to six years) earnings of immigrants:

Pre-landing Canadian work experience – every year of Canadian work experience equated to a 52-59% increase in earnings
Language proficiency – those with an official language earned 42% more
Age – older immigrants earned 27-35% less than younger ones
Education; with Bachelor’s degree graduates earning 14-21% more

The main factors impacting the long-term (10 to 11 years) earnings of immigrants:

Pre-landing Canadian work experience – a 45% increase for every year of Canadian work experience
Age at landing – younger immigrants earned 44% more than older ones
Official language ability – those with an official language earned 35% more
Education – a 23% increase in earnings for those with a Bachelor’s degree.

What does the report tell about the future of Canadian immigration?

The findings of the report are of prime importance for candidates looking to apply through Express Entry programs.

Express Entry is a system of databases to manage immigration applicants under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). It also includes candidates with prior provincial nominations.

Interested candidates entering the Express Entry pool may weigh in their immigration chances according to the immigrant traits in Canada as shown in this study.
