Canada Pilot Programs 2020<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Why Canada Govt launches Pilot Programs for economic class?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2012, the introduction of pilot programs has been the aim of\u00a0Canada\u2019s federal government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s 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\u00a0are several programs in 2019 and 2020 too will select a huge number of applicants.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Pilot Programs?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

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\u00a0immigration process. And delayed the introduction of programs to prospective immigrants.<\/span><\/p>\n


Canada can not afford this slowness. Because they\u00a0have jobs to fill due to skilled labour shortages. Thus, pilot reforms are there to meet this need.\u00a0So, it can help\u00a0employers in hiring overseas workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pilot programs are economical.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. 5 years of validity and 4,750 applications per pilot per year.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Quick to introduce and easy to process.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Test pilots for future permanent plans.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

    Pilot Programs before 2019<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    Before 2019\u00a0Canada introduced 3 pilot programs:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Start-up Visa Pilot (SUV)<\/a> (2013)<\/strong>\u00a0aims to attract\u00a0foreign entrepreneurs to Canada.\u00a0And helps in the recruitment of entrepreneurs with high human capital characteristics. So, this program was made permanent in 2018.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      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,\u00a0most people\u00a0chose Vancouver and Toronto which defeated Canada\u2019s purpose of \u2018innovation across Canada\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Fund <\/a>(2015) <\/strong>was launched to introduce immigrant investors to Canada. This program\u00a0has\u00a0the lowest figure for international immigrants. Thus, the government stopped accepting applications in the first year of launch.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP)<\/a> (2017)<\/strong> was launched to attract international immigrants to Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Besides, AIPP is a top immigrant attracting program. Also, it attracts 4000 immigrants every year. Thus, the government is looking to make AIPP permanent. After that, AIPP will receive at least 5000 spots every year.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
