News of the week: gloomy past, removal of restrictions and new taxes
The news from May 31 to June 6 will especially please IT professionals and those learning English. But there are downsides as well.
Immigration news
The week once again delighted with several immigration selections:
- Quebec invited 90 candidates in the stream for qualified professionals;
- in the Express Entry drawing chose 5,956 people with a reduced passing score;
- The province of Ontario has sent 986 invitations to working professionals;
- BC delighted 68 applicants from the stream for IT professionals;
- Manitoba selected 404 candidates among foreign professionals.
The great news is that BC's popular Tech Pilot, which allows IT professionals to immigrate, has become a permanent program. The province will continue to prioritize these selections.
New Brunswick is also on the lookout for IT people: the province invites data scientists and data engineers with one year of experience and a resume. They will then have the opportunity to immigrate through one of the provincial programs.
