Why Canada Govt launches Pilot Programs for economic class?
Since 2012, the introduction of pilot programs has been the aim of Canada’s federal government.
Canada’s 2012 reform legally authorises the immigration minister to release new economic class pilot programs. These pilot programs welcome immigrants to address economic and labour force needs. There are several programs in 2019 and 2020 too will select a huge number of applicants.
Earlier, the federal government had to first introduce new economic programs to the parliament. There, it was viewed, reviewed, and voted on. This democratic approach slowed down the Canada immigration process. And delayed the introduction of programs to prospective immigrants.
Canada can not afford this slowness. Because they have jobs to fill due to skilled labour shortages. Thus, pilot reforms are there to meet this need. So, it can help employers in hiring overseas workers.
Before 2019 Canada introduced 3 pilot programs:
Despite, its success the program showed low entry figures for immigrants. Every year only a few hundred immigrants enter through this program. But this overwhelmed the employers. Because they were not able to filter the right candidate for job positions. Besides, most people chose Vancouver and Toronto which defeated Canada’s purpose of ‘innovation across Canada’.
Note
Today, RNIP has 11 communities participating from Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Colombia, and Alberta. Also, this program is expected to bring positive results in the second half of 2020.
2020 will see the launch of new immigration programs. These programs are there to assist the current programs. The updates will see the new Municipal Nomination Programme (MNP). So, it can help in sharing the benefits of immigration all over Canada.
Currently, Canada offers 80+ economic pathways for immigration. And 2020 will see the launch of additional and new programs. Besides, all this is being done to achieve Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan (2019 – 2021). Thus, Canada aims to select 2020 (340,000 new immigrants) and 2021 (350,000 new immigrants) vision.
Canada will add 360,000 new immigrants by 2022. The current immigration trends are strongly positive. This inflow makes 2020 a successful immigration year for Canada.
