Yesterday, IRCC announced 4 unprecedented public policies creating new time-limited programs to facilitate permanent residence for individuals working in Canada. Here’s what you need to know:
Policy 2 – French-Speaking Individuals Working in an Essential Occupation
Policy 3 – Recent International Student Graduates
Policy 4 – French-Speaking Recent International Student Graduates
For all the above programs, work experience or study obtained to qualify must have been with valid authorization, and the applicant must be residing in Canada with valid temporary status both at the time the application is received and when the application is approved. Finally, applicants also must have an intent to reside outside of Quebec.
These temporary policies will be in effect as of May 6, 2021 and will end on the earlier of November 5, 2021, or, once the maximum number of applications are received.
Our firm will be hosting a free webinar to discuss the above programs on Tuesday, April 20th at 6pm EST. We will be discussing the eligibility criteria and how to apply for permanent residence through these programs.
