Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has announced Temporary Public Policy granting Permanent Resident opportunities to the Workers currently in Canada.
In November 2020, Canada announced a target of 401,000 admissions of new permanent residents in 2021 as part of its 2021-2023 Immigration Levels Plan. This new policy will help the government to achieve the goal.
For greater clarity, applications will continue to be accepted in one stream even if the cap has been reached in the other stream.
Based on public policy considerations, the main eligibility requirement will be as follows:
*Have accumulated at least one (1) year of full-time work experience, or the equivalent in part-time experience (1,560 hours), in Canada in the provided list of the occupation
*Be employed in Canada in any occupation at the time that the application for permanent residence is received
*Have attained a level of proficiency of at least benchmark 4 in either official language for each of the four language skill areas, as set out in the Canadian Language Benchmarks or the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens.
*Reside in Canada with valid temporary resident status (or be eligible to restore their status) and be physically present in Canada at the time the application for permanent residence is received and when the application is approved
This new policy will be effective starting on May 6, 2021 and will remain open until November 5, 2021, or until they reach 90,000 applicants
The IRCC will be accepting the following number of applications:
20,000 applications for health care workers
30,000 applications for other essential workers
40,000 applications for international students who graduated from a Canadian institution
