Canada on Oct 27, 2023, shared its latest Immigration Strategy. What is the need to review Canada Post Study Work Visa (PGWP) by IRCC can be understood from the same. The Honourable Immigration Minister shared that Canada is looking at the following updates:
The following blog post will cover the points why Canada needs to review and strengthen the current PGWP program.
To understand the same, we must look at the Statistics Canada report (2008-2018) highlighting the inflow of international students and how it impacts the PGWP program.
So, looking at Canada’s rise as the top spot for education there is a need to review the Canada Post Study Work Visa (PGWP) program. Because doing so will raise the inflow of students and other contributions to the labour market and economic needs.
Overall, such efforts are to tackle the high demand for skilled workers across all sectors. With 2022 second quarter shows 818,195 job vacancies. By the end of the 3rd quarter, this number exceeds 806,825. So, looking the same we can expect the current job vacancies to be at a higher end.
If not, Canada would not have to raise immigration targets to 2024 – 485,000, 2025 and 2026 – 500,000. Also, we can see the immigration strategy and the review of the PGWP program after 10 years.
