Canada
has a long tradition of welcoming newcomers, and its immigration rules are
meant to aid the country's economic development. Immigration, according to the
minister, will be critical to Canada's success and economic recovery following
the Coronavirus catastrophe. In the future, immigrants are projected to
contribute to the country's economic prosperity.
According
to Mendicino, the country will require immigrants for economic growth because
the ratio of workers to retirees is decreasing, and with the country's baby
boomers scheduled to retire in a few years, local firms will be fighting for
competent immigrants. Immigrants will benefit from increased job prospects and
pay as a result of this.
IRCC
continues to operate
Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is working to ensure that those who are
seeking for a Canadian visa or intend to apply for one receive uninterrupted
service. The IRCC continues to handle visa applications while working remotely.
Temporary
foreign workers are welcome
In
order to keep the economy functioning and help Canadian workers during this
pandemic, the Canadian government is awarding visas through the Temporary
Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).
It
has agreed to keep its TFWP category in order to promote Canadian industries
like agriculture, Agri-food, food processing, and trucking.
Student
friendly policies
The
Canadian government recognises the economic contribution of international
students. In the country, there are around 620,000 international students who
contribute around 22 billion dollars to the economy each year.
To
lessen the impact of COVID-19 on international students, the government has put
in place certain particular measures for them, as well as students who will be
arriving in the country soon.
International
students who want to stay in Canada longer during the crisis can now apply for
an inferred status. This allows them to remain in Canada until their request
for a stay extension is accepted.
During
their term, overseas students are only allowed to work for 20 hours per week at
the IRCC. These limits have been abolished as a result of COVID-19, and these
students can now work for more than 20 hours per week until the end of August.
They are permitted to work longer hours in ten priority industries, including:
a.
Energy
and utilities
b.
Information
and communication technologies
c.
Finance
d.
Health
e.
Food
f.
Water
