Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWPs) that expired between September 20, 2021, and December 31, 2022, might qualify for a single PGWP extension. The eligible start date of the previously announced PGWP extension was moved from January 2022 to September 2021 by Immigration Minister Sean Fraser.
According to the government, this policy might help over 50,000 people.

Temporary Foreign Worker Program fills labour market gaps in Canada
The Temporary Foreign Worker Program seeks to address the Canadian labour shortage.
When Canadian firms cannot locate employees with the necessary skill set among Canadians or permanent residents, they might use the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) in Canada to get the required skills from overseas.
Why TFWP -
The purpose of TFWP is a program designed to help bridge the gaps in the Canadian labour market. The declining birth rate is not helping the situation. More Canadians are reaching the retirement age, and not enough is being added to the labour market. This gap is steadily increasing.
Shortages result when there are not enough Canadian citizens or permanent residents to fill vacant positions. An employer may file a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to Employment and Social Development Canada (EDSC); if no one in Canada has the relevant skills to fill the post, the employer may recruit a foreign worker to come to Canada and fill the position provided the LMIA results are good or neutral.
LMIA
An LMIA gives EDSC the knowledge it needs to assess if there is an actual need to hire a foreign worker and whether doing so will positively, neutral, or adversely impact the Canadian labor market. TFWP request meets rejection if it turns out that there are Canadians or permanent residents qualified for the position and looking for work.
Requirements for Advertising
An employer must take several steps to demonstrate that they have attempted to identify and hire a candidate from within Canada before being qualified for an LMIA.
Advertisement for the job in question must run at least four weeks across the Canadian labor market.
The Canada Job Bank must post the job.
Employers must show that at least two extra recruitment strategies have been used, such as specialized websites, local job fairs, or local media.
Employers must also certify that they are aware it is against the law to fire or reduce the working hours of their current Canadian employees.
Depending on the type of job opening, there can be exceptions to these guidelines; therefore, it's essential to seek advice from a professional to ensure you're adhering to the rules of required advertising.
LMIAs with high and low wage
There are two reasons to recruit a TFW, and these two factors may affect the type of LMIA an employer must file. They must apply through the high-wage position stream for highly specialized employment that pays at least as much as the province median wage.
Employers looking to fill low-wage employment must submit applications through the low-wage position stream. This stream is used to hire temporary manufacturing, agriculture, or tourism employees. Most low-wage positions have a 20 percent cap, meaning that no more than 20 percent of the workforce can be TFWs. Depending on the industry, the cap may increase to 30%.
How to obtain a TFWP and move to Canada
After being hired by an employer, a TFW must submit their work permit application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) with the LMIA number, a copy of the LMIA, a job offer letter, and a contract. Processing times for the IRCC can differ.
TFWP work permits are "closed" work permits, which means that while an employee is in Canada, they may not be able to work for another employer and will only be able to do so for the duration of their contract.

On 22nd April 2022, thousands of temporary foreign nationals heaved a slight sigh of relief when IRCC announced some of its plans for the near future and offered some solace to foreign workers who were closing in on the expiry of their work status in Canada
Honourable Sean Fraser, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, came out with a long due, announcement that The Express Entry invitations will resume to Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates by “early July.” What is noteworthy here is that a similar announcement was also made earlier in the year when it was announced that these Express Entry draws would start sometime in the spring of 2022. This fresh announcement now pushes back the restart of these draws to summertime.
Minister Fraser also announced that Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) holders would be eligible for an open work permit extension of 18 months from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The latest data on the labour market in Canada released by Statistics Canada show that the employment rate for recent immigrants is at an all time high!
Overall, unemployment in Canada declined 0.2 percentage points to 5.3 percent, the lowest level since comparable records began in 1976. Statistics Canada measures the unemployment rate as a percentage of the labour force. Provinces relaxed public health regulations throughout the reference week.
“With the unemployment rate at such a low level, practically every industry is experiencing labour shortages, including those in the hospitality business that has yet to recover fully,” says Nathan Janzen, Assistant Chief Economist at RBC Economics.

Reasons why people immigrate to Canada
Canada is an amazing place for new immigrants! Check out our article on why do people want to immigrate to Canada?
Canada – A great place for immigrants and an excellent destination for those seeking new experiences, adventures, education, and, a better quality of life. Canada is the most favored immigration destination in the world for various reasons.
Earlier this month, Canada announced that all candidates would be able to participate in the Express Entry draws again starting in early July.
The announcement will allow more immigrants from other nations to realize their dream of settling in Canada. The information is welcome since Express Entry is the federal government’s primary method of admitting skilled immigrants.
The Anholt-Ipsos Nation Brands Index for 2021 declared Canada, the place of desire by Immigrants. People from the world over come to Canada, hopeful of a better life – political stability, career opportunity, and the future of the next generation.
There are many reasons for Canada being such a great place for immigration, so read on to find out more and discover why people migrate to the north.
Employment
The pandemic has worsened the long-standing labour shortages in Canada on account of the sealing of borders. While the situation has caused unemployment to hit its all-time low, the employment vacancy rates are at an all-time high. Canada reported over 900,000 open positions recently.
Even with a tight labour market, Canada’s economy rebounded by the end of 2021 and grew from its pre-pandemic state. According to CBC, Canada’s GDP rose 6.7% on an annual basis in the fourth quarter, beating analysts’ predictions of 6.5%.
Stable government
Canada is a democratically stable country. It was placed fifth on the world democracy index by the Economist Intelligence Unit in 2020, ahead of other North American countries.
In its Best Countries survey last year, U.S. News ranked Canada first. Canada received the highest score in the report’s Quality of Life and Social Purpose categories.
Security
Canada is considered one of the world’s safest destinations. According to the Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection 2022 study, Canada is the third safest country in the world, with Montreal, Canada’s capital, ranking first. These conclusions were arrived at by combining survey results with statistics on risk, crime, and climate resilience, among other things.
Free medical attention
Citizens and permanent residents of Canada benefit from free health care. Each province and territory has its health plan, including various products and services. Newcomers can apply for and receive a health card through their province’s health insurance system. Because of the public healthcare system, most medical and emergency services are free to Canadians.
Excellent education
Immigrant students in Canada reported greater reading levels than non-immigrant students, according to an OECD assessment on literacy rates. In addition, compared to other OECD countries, Canadian pupils excelled in reading.
Canada has a wide selection of educational institutions and colleges. The Times Higher Education declared the University of Toronto, McMaster University, and McGill University among the top 100 universities globally.
Multicultural
The Canadian Multiculturalism Law was passed in 1988. It was one of the world’s first types, upholding the federal government’s commitment to creating a diverse society.
People from more than 200 nations and diverse races, religions, and cultures now call Canada home.
There are over 100 immigration programmes.
For economic-class immigrants alone, Canada has over 100 programmes.
Canada will begin accepting applications for its main immigration programs in July. The Express Entry system is in charge of managing these programs. Those who qualify for Express Entry are placed in a pool of applicants and given a rating based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Candidates with the highest scores will be able to apply for permanent residence in Canada.
Entering the Express Entry pool is free. It gives you the chance to apply for Canadian immigration and offers you the opportunity to get a provincial nomination through an improved Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Because the nomination comes with 600 CRS points, those who obtain it are virtually entitled to obtain an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
Immigrant settlement assistance
Immigrants in Canada receive assistance with their settling from the moment they arrive. More than CAD 1.7 billion is spent on settlement services to aid newcomers every year than in any other country.

The Council of Canadian Innovators (CCI) urges Canada to create a High Potential Tech Visa that would allow in-demand individuals to gain permanent resident status without a job offer.
This demand from the Council of Canadian Innovators for a new visa to allow high-skilled tech professionals to come to Canada without a job offer is in response to the labor shortages in the sector.
The CCI recently announced its Talent and Skills Strategy, including 13 essential policy suggestions to help policymakers support Canada’s expanding tech sector.
The proposed ” High Potential Tech Visa” will target in-demand sectors such as software developers and data scientists. Holders of this Visa would be able to work, switch jobs, and apply for permanent residency in Canada.

How to Renew a PR Card
Canada's permanent residents are issued PR cards, making it easier for individuals to return to Canada following their trips abroad, easing their return to Canada after overseas travels. PR cards are renewable ONLY in Canada. Canadian PR Renewal is necessary since PR Cards have an expiration date, and you must apply for a new one before the old one expires.
Don't be alarmed if you find yourself in this situation where your PR card has expired.
Expiry of the PR card does not mean that your PR (permanent resident) status has expired. Permanent Residence (PR) Status stays in effect until the cancellation procedure is initiated.
There are various methods for resolving the issue of an expired PR card, depending on your circumstances. Several factors determine the strategy to use:
When your PR card expires within the next 730 days & you reside in Canada.
apply for renewal stat
If your PR Card has already passed its expiration date
Are you in Canada
Are you traveling overseas?
When outside Canada without a valid PR Card, a PR Travel Document (PRTD) is required to return to Canada.
The main reason for this is that you will have to pick up your PR Card in Canada if you apply for one.
As a result, only one option is PRTD.
Eligibility
You are eligible if you have spent at least 730 days in Canada in the last five years.
To reclaim your PR status or renew your PR card, you must be present physically in Canada for a least 730 days out of five years.
You can obtain a new PR card if your current PR card has expired or will expire within nine months and you meet the eligibility criteria. The majority of new PR cards expire after five years.
Documents Required for a PR Card Application
The expired PR needs to be handed over to the PRCC officer on receiving the new PR card.
Other documents listed in the documentation checklist include
a copy of your passport or a travel document
Photos (as per the application specifications).
Please fill out form IMM544E and submit it with the documentation mentioned above to replace a stolen, destroyed, or expired PR card.
Speak with a professional immigration advisor about your options. You can reach us at +1 (877) 683-SAAB (7222) | [email protected] or visit us at www.saabimmigration.ca.

What is a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)?
LMIA stands for A Labor Market Impact Assessment is a document provided by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that certifies that the job in question cannot be filled by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, resulting in the need to hire a foreign national. The online LMIA application makes it easy for any Canadian employer to identify potential employees and start hiring.
For foreign workers in Canada or Canadian companies looking to review the employment criteria and laws controlling the hiring process, the LMIA online application is a great resource.
Positive and negative LMIAs are the two types of LMIA. If your LMIA is positive, you will be able to hire a foreign worker. A negative LMIA will not be granted until and until the Canadian government finds a solution.
Under the eight (8) primary streams, Canadian firms can apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to hire a foreign worker. The type of LMIA you choose is essential. It will identify which conditions must be met, such as an employer's eligibility, job postings, and which application forms must be filed.
LMIA Streams / 8 Types of LMIA
1. Low-wage LMIA: If a foreign worker's wage is less than the provincial or territorial median hourly wage. Here are the application forms for low-wage jobs.
2. High-wage LMIA: Temporary workers, such as Business Owners, are paid at or above the provincial or territorial median hourly rate.
3. Agricultural workers LMIA: Only hire foreign workers for primary agriculture activities on the farm.
4. Seasonal agricultural workers LMIA: To hire individuals from authorized nations to do primary agriculture activities on the farm
5. LMIA to support a permanent residence (PR) application: Only for high-wage positions in the National Occupational Classification's ( (NOC) Skill Type and Level A and B.
6. Dual intent LMIA: It serves two purposes: it assists with both PR and work permit applications.
7. LMIA for Global Talent Stream: Under this stream, 1) innovative organizations in Canada can hire unique and specialized foreign nationals referred by designated referral partners, or 2) Canadian employers hire for in-demand highly-skilled professions included on the Global Talent Occupations List.
8. LMIA for in-home caregivers: In the private household, Canadians can hire foreign caregivers to care for children, seniors, or those with documented medical requirements.

Canada changes Temporary Foreign Worker Program to address workforce shortage
Canada needs you - now and in the future!
Canada has announced they are changing their Foreign Worker Program, or Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), to address its workforce shortage. The nation is experiencing a high labour demand and much lower worker supply, which has impacted its economy.
The TFW Program permits employers in Canada to recruit a foreign worker when no Canadians or permanent residents are present.
The labour market in Canada is stricter than it was before the pandemic, with the job vacancy rate reaching an all-time high in the third quarter of 2021. According to Statistics Canada, low-wage occupations contribute to much of the unmet demand, with the following industries having the most vacancies in November 2021:
1. 130,070 vacancies in accommodation and food services
2. In health care and social support, there are 119,590 job vacancies.
3. 103,990 employment opportunities in the retail trade.
4. Manufacturing has 81,775 employment opportunities.
Approximately 5,000 posts in the Global Talent Stream and 23,000 positions in the High-Wage Stream were approved by the TFW Program in 2021. Together, these programs contribute to around 21% of all LMIA posts allowed for that year.
Each year, about 50,000 and 60,000 foreign agricultural laborers arrive in Canada, making up more than 60% of all foreign workers hired through the TFW Program.
From October 27 to December 20, 2020, ESDC held consultations on Minimum Requirements for Employer-Provided Accommodations. Many stakeholders, including provincial/territorial governments, municipalities, fire chiefs, public health units, businesses, industry associations, unions/labour groups, and foreign governments, submitted around 150 written responses. Migrant worker support organizations submitted applications on behalf of around 675 migrant employees.
Hence, As part of the Government of Canada’s continued efforts to protect Canadians and their health care system during the COVID-19 pandemic, an upgrade was made to further strengthen the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Reach SAAB Immigration to find out what you need to know about being a temporary foreign worker in Canada. Understand and know how the program works and what are the requirements.

Canadian Immigration in 2022: What has changed?
Illustration comparing The Immigration Levels Plan for 2022 announced last year VS The Plan that was recently announced:
Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan for 2022-2024 was recently announced. Since the plan arrived, people seem to be more confused than relieved. On one hand, Canada is looking to land 431000 new Permanent Residents in the current year and on the other hand, the allocation adjustments done to the various categories are slightly confusing to many people. For example, according to the plan announced last year, Canada was targeting 110500 new PRs in 2022 under the Federal High Skilled category (which includes FSW, FST & CEC under The Express Entry system) and this number was brought down to 55900 according to the recently announced plan.
Similarly, we can also see an allocation of 40000 under the heading of Federal Economic Public Policies done in the new plan which is basically meant to accommodate Temporary Public Policies like The TR to PR pathway that was released last year. While this number seems encouraging, we must not forget that close to 90000 applications were submitted in 2021 under The TR to PR pilot last year which have all not received a decision yet. So, the figure of 40000 may not be indicative of new applications that would be accepted, instead, it’s an inventory of applications with IRCC that are waiting to be processed.
This is largely because, as per a Self-Confessed data released in December, IRCC had an overall 1.8 million applications waiting to be processed under various immigration programs and the adjustment was done to limit the number of new applications coming in while allowing IRCC to work on reducing the backlog and keeping the overall planned numbers like what was previously announced.
In a nutshell, 2022 may not see FSW and CEC draws happening to everyone’s liking and we also don’t have any concrete information that indicates a definite probability of a TR to PR style of the program coming out this year. Immigration minister Sean Fraser did announce earlier, in the month that some version of Occupation-specific programs or draws might happen soon, but no concrete timelines or specifics were announced.
One of the issues that were completely ignored by IRCC is a plan for all the Temporary Residents who are in Canada. These are individuals who have probably spent thousands of dollars to come to Canada either as students or as workers and are currently on Work permits. Such applicants whose Work Permits are likely to expire in the weeks or months to come are currently dealing with a lot of unanswered questions and have doubts that should have been addressed by IRCC. What is the transition plan for them? or What is the plan for them to continue living in Canada on a Legal status until they get an opportunity to apply for their PRs?
Let us discuss an example: For somebody whose work permit to pr Canada was about to expire in September and if a CEC draw came out between now and September, this would allow the applicant to submit his/her PR application and subsequently apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit but for the same individual if no CEC draw happens before September, the applicant is left with very few options. Such an applicant can either leave Canada and go back to one’s home country or look for a Job Offer through an LMIA based Closed Work Permit or apply for a Visitor’s visa to continue staying in Canada. But overall, there is still a cloud of ambiguity as to what the future holds and also what are some of the things that one can do to sail through these tough times.
IRCC might still allow a Work Permit Extension Canada for Temporary Residents through a Temporary public policy as was done last year but until that happens these are some of the things one should do:
Apply for a visitor visa if you don't have one. Even as a worker or as a student, a visitor visa is required if one intends to leave and return to Canada but in the scenario that is building up, if you have a Visitor visa and your temporary status is about to expire, the visitor visa would help you to return to Canada or continue staying in Canada as a visitor.
Secondly, talk to your Employers to find out if they would be willing to support your employees through an LMIA in a scenario where your PGWP is about to expire. This would allow you to apply for a Closed Work Permit to continue working with the same employer.
Finally, don’t rely on CEC or “TR to PR” alone to get you your permanent status in Canada. Find out about the various Provincial programs that are currently active across Canada. For example, If you are in Ontario try to determine your eligibility under the various Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) streams. If you feel that you are eligible under one of the Job offer streams, you must next try to determine if your employer meets the requirements. It’s important to talk to the employer and confirm that they are willing to support you on your PNP application. We meet clients all the time who haven’t created an Expression of Interest on the Provincial website despite being employed with an eligible employer and meeting all the eligibility requirements and had they taken the right steps in a timely fashion, they could have successfully submitted their PR applications a long time ago.
A fact that we must all be prepared to accept is that with the announcement of this New Immigration Levels Plan, life in 2022 for a lot of PR aspirants may not be as easy as it was in 2021. One must be prepared to put in that extra effort to make sure that one stands out and is one of those individuals who end up receiving their PRs this year.
Unfortunately, there is no One-Size-Fits-All solution that can work for everyone. Every individual is different with their own unique Credentials, and everyone must come up with a plan unique to one’s own circumstances. In fact, having more than one plan is also not a bad idea to make sure that if your Plan-A fails then your Plan-B or Plan-C are still there to help you receive your Permanent Resident status.
If you are not sure what might work for you or what your Plans should be, please find an Immigration Professional who has a good grasp of the current scenario and can draft a plan on your behalf. We, at SAAB Immigration, offer a free Initial Consultation and a Detailed Consultation for a small fee. One of these might work for you, depending on how long and detailed a discussion we end up having. We often advocate that the earlier we have this discussion, the better and this holds truer now than ever before. Even if your Post Graduate Work Permit has just started, this might be a good time to start planning and if required redirect and refocus your efforts in a direction different from your current one.
We can also discuss your employment eligibility and sometimes if need be, we can also talk to your employer and explain to them how they can support you on your immigration journey. Alternatively, since we are also in touch with employers from various industries through some of our other clients, we can also help connect you to the right kind of employer who is willing to support your application.
Our team at #SAABimmigration believes in the adage of #DoItOnceDoItRight and brings over 11 years of combined industry experience in successfully assisting clients on their Immigration journeys. Whether you are a first-time applicant, or your previous application has been refused reach out to us and discuss your case with a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC).

Super Visa or TRV – Which is better for inviting parents on Temporary Status?
A lot of queries we receive are – “How can I get my Parents over”
There are a few different ways to invite your parents over for a temporary stay in Canada. One option is to apply for a Super Visa, and the other is to apply for a TRV (Temporary Resident Visa). Both visas have their own set of benefits and drawbacks, so it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you.
Here, we will outline the key differences between Super Visas and TRVs, so that you can make an informed decision about which
We need to understand that Canadian immigration, being migrant focused has several options to choose from:
Temp visitor visa
Super Visa
HNC grounds
sponsor parents to Canada
Now all this can be very confusing. So, where does one start?
Let's start with the basics.
It's essential to understand while the best option for the Parents & Grandparents immigration for Permanent residence is lottery-based, its time-taking, and you have no control over whether you may be invited to apply; not to mention, one must meet the Minimum Income Requirements (MNI) for the preceding 3 years.
Visitor Visa vs Super Visa
A lot of people whether to apply for Visitor Visa or a Super Visa. Our recommendation is if you hold a Permanent Residency or Citizenship (and if you meet the program’s mandatory requirements), then apply for a Super visa.
Let us explain what a Super visa is. Super Visa is a visitor visa (PG-1) specially designed for parents & grandparents that allows them to stay in Canada for up to 2 years status v/s up to 6 months stay authorization for TRV holders.
This Application comes with some mandates:
Applicants’ Medical Clearance from an IRCC Panel Physician
1 year of Insurance from a Canadian company for at least $100,000 covering the applicant
Inviter’s Low Income Cut Off (LICO) requirement to be met – Minimum income level to sustain yourself and your dependent
Why Super visa?
If you meet the income requirements, you are a PR resident and have the required insurance, and you are in command. A properly vetted Super Visa Application commands the highest success probability (barring any medical/criminality/misrepresentation concerns).
In contrast, when applying for a visitor visa, the onus of granting the Visa lies in the judgment of the Immigration officer. His/ her judgment of your financial viability, assurance that you are going on a temporary visit only, travel history, surety of return to your country of origin, etc. – the balance of probabilities comes into play.
Therefore, if you are applying for parents, Grandparents, or in-laws – a Super Visa is the option to go for.
Why Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) over Super Visa?
There are two reasons when a TRV may be a go-to option while applying for parents’ temporary residence in Canada:
If the inviter does not meet the Super Visa’s LICO requirements.
Any medical condition that could add to the burden of Canadian Healthcare or could cause harm to society could make a person inadmissible to Canada. While Inadmissibility may be on various accounts, the concern is health issues for parents & grandparents.
It is advisable to consult Immigration consultants such as us to know if the medical history of your parents/grandparents can be a concern. You can reach #TeamSAABimmigration at [email protected] or call +1 (877) 683-7222. Alternatively, you can book your appointment here: Saab Immigration
