New immigration plans, jobs in Canada and other news of the week
The most important events in Canada for the week of July 26 to August 1.
Immigration news
The week was delighted with three shenanigans:
- British Columbia selected 59 IT professionals;
- Ontario has issued 1,031 invitations to members of in-demand professions;
- Manitoba invited 1,140 candidates.
June was a record month for Canada in the number of invited immigrants. And for 2021, more than 140,000 permanent residency applicants were selected. And yet Canada still has a long way to go on its plan for the year. Immigration ministers met last week to discuss immigration's future for the country. The ministry has set several goals for the near future, including reducing processing times for permanent residency applications.
Canada has also opened a new program, but this time not for immigrants, but for refugees. It can be used by journalists and human rights activists who are persecuted in their home country.
Jobs in Canada
The federal government has set out to support foreign workers working for Canadian employers. The main goal is to improve their awareness of their own rights, protect them from fraudulent employers and an unfavourable workplace environment.
If you are thinking about working in Canada, the Atlantic provinces are worth considering. They are not very popular among immigrants, and local employers experience sharp shortage of qualified personnel and are ready to hire foreigners. For IT professionals there is another option — Toronto. This city is recognized as the best city for IT workers, and jobs in this field are growing rapidly.
