News of the week: Canada opens borders and waits for new immigrants
Don't miss the most important events that took place from June 19 to 25.
Immigration news
The week was graced with five immigration selections:
- British Columbia invited 383 candidates;
- The province of Ontario called 115 francophones;
- Saskatchewan selected 280 professionals;
- in two Express Entry selections invited 462 participants from provincial programs and 4,500 applicants with Canal experience.
Two other provinces have published the results of the draws that took place earlier:
- Prince Edward Island chose 127 candidates;
- Alberta sent 181 invitations.
The province of Quebec has made two changes to the immigration process at once. First, the evaluation system used to select applicants has been significantly changed. The second change concerns those who plan to move to Quebec with their family: now not only the main applicants need to know French, as before, but also their spouses and cohabitants.
British Columbia halted accepting applications for an entrepreneurship stream. Also, one of the temporary federal in-demand streams that launched two and a half months ago was prematurely closed. But those who have applied and are awaiting review will soon be able to get an open work permit in Canada.
Don't rush to feel bad about the closed streams, because Canada regularly has new opportunities to immigrate. The province of New Brunswick will soon be holding an online job fair for some working professions. It will be an opportunity to meet local employers, get a job offer, and then come to New Brunswick on a work visa or immediately immigrate through one of the programs.
