The maple leaf country sees a positive rise in the selection of PR applicants. Sean Fraser (Honourable Immigration Minister) shared the details of the selection of 108000 Canada PR applicants in the first quarter of 2022.
The number may seem a bit less in comparison to the 2022 immigration levels target of 431,645. But it indeed is a good start to the year.
This move also comes due to multiple reasons such as application backlogs, slow processing times, after effect of the pandemic, rise in labour market needs and job vacancy rate etc. And Canada is facing repercussions because of them as well.
A look back at 2021-2022, shows the Canadian immigration department’s undeterred will to keep the inflow of foreign skilled workers. The same can be seen from the past introduction of new immigration pathways, policy changes, updates and lifting of restrictions.
The following are the updates shared by the minister:
108000 PR applicants were welcomed in Q1 2022. And all this is possible with reinvigorating efforts to boost immigration to Canada.
The immigration budget 2022 aims to invest a total of $2.1 billion dollars over a period of 5 years. Also, it will add $317.6 million dollars to better the current ongoing immigration process. Read more here.
Besides, apart from huge fund investment, Canada is all set to modernise its immigration system. And is introducing modern technology to further fast-track the processing of Canada visa applications.
All such updates and Canada’s foreign skilled worker emergency are good signs for applicants who wish to settle in Canada.
