July 2022 to see IRCC Restarting Express Entry FSW and CEC Draws<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Canada Immigration major announcement – Honourable Minister Sean Fraser announces the restarting of Express Entry (EE) FSW and CEC draws in July<\/span><\/strong>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n


Such a decision comes in the wake of the\u00a0huge application backlog in the EE System. A glance at it shows that there were around 111,900 pending applications in Sep 2021<\/strong>. However, this number was cut in half up to 48,000\u00a0by Mar 2022<\/strong>. So, we can expect this number to further fall in July 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n


Besides, the minister also shared that IRCC will be working towards reaching back to its ideal application processing time. As a result, we can expect the applications to be processed within 6 months<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n


In addition, to the above, a new temporary policy has been introduced for international students. As per this international students whose valid status in Canada is expiring can now stay in Canada longer. And can add to their work experience to further qualify for permanent residency in Canada<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n


On this note, international students who have a Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP)<\/strong><\/a> that is expiring between Jan-Dec 2022 will now be able to avail of another work permit of up to 18 months. To do the same, the immigration minister will soon release the details of a simplified process to fast-track the processing of such applications.<\/span><\/p>\n


Canada has been facing a huge challenge in retaining skilled workers. And this has been an issue since the pandemic period. Post that many new policies, updates and programs have been introduced. But only mixed results have been seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

In today’s; time, the country has a job vacancy rate standing at 912,580 (Q3 2022)<\/strong>. And this is despite Canada seeing a low unemployment rate. It clearly shows the inability to retain skilled workers to meet the labour market needs and grow the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n
