PGWP extension in 2024

International students in Canada hope for a PGWP extension in 2024

Study in Canada, Work in Canada /

International students in Canada hope for a PGWP extension in 2024, given the limited options for permanent residency. By mid-2023, Canada had approximately 2.2 million temporary residents, with over 1 million holding work permits – which has almost doubled in a year.  The PGWP, typically a one-time issuance, was temporarily extended during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a recent extension granting an additional 18 months for permits expiring by December 2023. Previously, students relied on the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) category of the Express Entry system for permanent residency, but the absence of CEC-specific rounds has led to heightened competition. Now, students remain optimistic about a PGWP extension. For more information please connect with an Immigration Consultant. Canada expanded PGWP distance learning measures On September 1, 2023, the Government of Canada extended measures allowing international students using the PGWP distance learning option to pursue their higher education in Canada to be eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).  The measures introduced on October 6, 2022, and set to expire on August 31, 2023, have been extended to December 31, 2023.  Students who start their online study program between September 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023, will be able to count the time spent studying online outside of Canada until December 31, 2023, toward the overall length of the PGWP if it does not exceed 50% of the program. About the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Students who have graduated from eligible Canadian designated learning institutions (DLIs) are eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program, which enables them to get an open work permit while acquiring valuable Canadian work experience. Graduates can become eligible for permanent residence in Canada through the Canadian experience class in Express Entry by collecting skilled Canadian work experience in TEER categories 0, 1, or 3 through the PGWP Program. For international students who want to live and work in Canada after completing their program of study, a PGWP is an open work permit. PGWP holders are permitted to work for nearly any employer in Canada because it is an open work permit. The duration of the PGWP could last up to three years, depending on the length of the study program.

Canada immigration target

Canada Immigration targets stabilizing to support sustainable growth

Work in Canada /

Canada Immigration is crucial for Canada’s growth, with about 23% of the population being immigrants, the highest among the G7. The 2024 Canada immigration target is 485,000, 1.2% of Canada’s population. Canada’s working population is declining, with the current ratio of workers to seniors at 3:1, expected to drop to 2:1.  This aging workforce leads to labor shortages, which immigration can alleviate. This will support the National Housing Strategy, which invests over $82 billion over ten years.  In addition, Canada, as a global leader in refugee resettlement, welcomed over 46,500 refugees from 80 countries last year, including 40,000 vulnerable Afghans. Canada Immigration Targets in the 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, announced the 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan today, November 1, 2023. This plan aims to encourage economic growth while balancing pressures in areas such as housing, healthcare, and infrastructure. It charts a responsible path for long-term and stable population growth. With this Levels Plan, the Government of Canada maintains its target of 485,000 permanent residents for 2024 while also taking the final step toward reaching 500,000 in 2025. Beginning in 2026, the government will cap the number of permanent residents at 500,000, giving time for successful integration while continuing to bolster Canada’s labor market.  The government also intends to rebalance the number of temporary resident admissions over the next year to ensure that this aspect of our immigration system is also sustainable. The federal government will continue to collaborate closely with provinces and territories, employers, stakeholders, and Indigenous peoples to assist Canada in adapting to the realities of immigration-driven population growth. An Immigration System for Canada’s Future—a report that lays out a path to strengthen the immigration system for newcomers, businesses, and communities—also guides this approach. Together, these measures will keep people at the center of our immigration policy and ensure that newcomers have the resources they need to succeed in their new lives, such as settlement assistance and access to housing. The following are some of the highlights of the Immigration Levels Plan for 2024-2026: A long-term focus on economic growth, with the economic class accounting for more than 60% of permanent resident admissions by 2025. A commitment to uphold the Canadian government’s humanitarian tradition by responding to humanitarian and geopolitical crises around the world.  New and ambitious Francophone immigration targets have been established to support Francophone communities outside of Quebec. In 2024, the targets are 6% of total immigration, 7% in 2025, and 8% in 2026. This is done to strengthen Francophone communities outside of Quebec and to ensure the economic prosperity of Canada’s Francophone minority communities.

Impact of International Student

Impact of international student enrollment in Canada

Study in Canada /

Impact of International Student Enrollment on Domestic Students in Canada From 2010-2019, the number of international students at Canadian public post-secondary institutions increased from 142,200 to 388,800. Now, over 800,000 international students study at all levels in Canada. This surge raised concerns about the impact on domestic enrolment.  However, a Statistics Canada study showed a positive relationship between domestic and international enrolment. The study focused on:  Science,  Technology,  Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Business,  Humanities,  Arts,  Social Sciences, and  Education (BHASE) programs.  It found that increased international enrolment did not affect domestic enrolment at the institution level. However, a positive correlation was seen in STEM and BHASE courses: as international enrollment rose, so did domestic enrollment.  This was stronger for BHASE programs in post-secondary non-tertiary and short-cycle tertiary programs. No correlation was found at the graduate level within STEM programs, but a positive correlation was seen in BHASE graduate programs. When it came to STEM and BHASE programs, however, the study discovered a positive correlation between the two groups in both cases: as more international students enrolled in STEM and BHASE courses, so did more domestic students. This relationship was even stronger for BHASE programs in post-secondary non-tertiary, and short-cycle tertiary (programs between secondary and post-secondary levels of education), where an increase in international student enrolment in BHASE programs correlated with an increase in domestic students across the institution. Finally, the study discovered no correlation between international and domestic student enrollment in STEM graduate programs; however, a statistically significant positive correlation between international and domestic student enrollment in BHASE graduate programs was discovered. Impact of International Students on the Canadian Education System There has been a considerable increase in the number of international students choosing to further their studies in Canada recently. This influx enhances the cultural diversity on campuses throughout the country and significantly impacts the education system, economy, and the communities that host these students.  The growing multicultural environment within educational institutions enriches the learning experience for both local and international students. The increased revenues from international tuition fees also help to improve the quality of education and research in Canadian institutions. Additionally, this trend contributes to the local economy as students spend on housing, food, and other living expenses.

humanitarian pathway

Canada initiated a humanitarian pathway for Colombian, Haitian, and Venezuelan nationals

Permanent Residence /

On November 17, 2023, Canada responded to the global migration crisis by announcing a humanitarian pathway to provide residence to 15,000 displaced people from the Western Hemisphere. The pathway, open to Colombian, Haitian, and Venezuelan nationals with family ties in Canada, offers safe migration, pre-arrival services, and potential financial assistance.  Additionally, Canada plans to welcome 4,000 more individuals through existing worker programs. These actions aim to alleviate migration pressures and offer alternatives to irregular migration due to instability. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will monitor and adjust the program as necessary. What are the eligibility Requirements for this humanitarian pathway? You must meet the following requirements to be eligible to apply: You must be a Colombian, Haitian, or Venezuelan national Mexico, Central or South America, or the Caribbean be a spouse, common-law partner, parent, grandparent, or sibling of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is willing and eligible to support your application (an “anchor”) Plan to live anywhere outside of Quebec have a valid passport or eligible travel or identity document As an anchor, you are responsible for assisting the applicant in settling into their new life in Canada and providing support to them and their family members for a year. To be an anchor, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is at least 18 years old. You must be a Canadian citizen who lives outside of Quebec. If you meet the eligibility requirements and intend to settle permanently in Canada outside of Quebec, you may apply through the Permanent Residence pathway for Colombian, Haitian, and Venezuelan nationals. More US citizens immigrate to Canada Based on the latest statistics from the US Department of State, around 1 million US citizens reside in Canada. Many Americans relocate to Canada yearly for various reasons, including a strong job market, excellent post-secondary education, affordable healthcare, streamlined immigration policies, and political stability.  The job market attracts professionals seeking career advancement, while students are drawn to the quality and affordability of Canadian universities. While not entirely free, the public healthcare system is more accessible than in the US, and the country’s immigration policies, including Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs, are attractive to skilled workers and professionals.  Finally, Canada’s political and social stability appeals to those seeking a secure environment.
