✅In September 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 5,911 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) through three Express Entry draws. The draws focused on Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), French-speaking candidates, and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), aligning with IRCC's goal to prioritize domestic and francophone immigration. The total number of ITAs has decreased significantly since July, reflecting a slower pace. The current Express Entry pool sees most candidates with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores between 350-500, highlighting a competitive environment for applicants. .

✅Starting October 1, Canada is launching a pilot project to speed up judicial reviews for rejected study permits. The program aims to shorten the process from 14-18 months to under five months. Eligible students with formal rejection letters can apply online if both they and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) agree on the case facts. The pilot will not allow new evidence and is for straightforward cases only. Applicants have 15 days (within Canada) or 60 days (outside Canada) to apply. The initiative addresses a surge in judicial review requests, providing faster resolutions for international students. . Source: www.timesofindia.indiatimes.com . .

✅International students in Canada are facing uncertainty after the federal government introduced stricter rules for study and post-graduate work permits. Migrant groups argue that the cap on international study permits and tighter post-graduate work qualifications unfairly target students, leaving them in a precarious situation. Many, like Tasnimah Ahmed, fear they won’t qualify for a work permit after graduation. Immigration Minister Marc Miller stated the changes aim to address housing shortages, but student advocates argue it disproportionately affects their demographic. They are pushing for current students to be exempt from the new rules, allowing them to apply under previous guidelines. . Source: www.ctvnews.ca . .

✅Alberta has launched a new Expression of Interest (EOI) system for its Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) worker streams. Starting September 30, candidates can submit their Worker EOI via the AAIP portal. The process is free and applicants will be ranked using a points grid similar to the federal CRS, considering factors like education, work experience, language ability, and family ties in Alberta. Applicants must withdraw any existing applications or EOIs before submitting a new one. Alberta plans to start worker stream draws by mid-to-late October, prioritizing higher-ranked candidates based on labour market needs. . Source: www.cicnews.com . .

✅Indian students continue to choose Canada for higher education, spending $11.7 billion last year, with Punjab contributing $3.7 billion. The number of Indian students studying abroad is expected to grow from 11.8 lakh in 2022 to 15 lakh by 2025. Despite Canada's tightening immigration policies and rising costs, students are drawn by its academic programs, post-study work opportunities, and immigration pathways. Saurabh Arora, CEO of University Living, highlighted in the Indian Student Mobility Report that states like Punjab, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh/Telangana are the top contributors.

✅Canada's Immigration Minister Marc Miller has announced significant changes to Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) eligibility. Over the next three years, 50,000 fewer permits will be issued to spouses of international students in select programs, including doctoral and master’s degrees. Spouses of students in master’s programs shorter than 16 months will no longer qualify. Further restrictions apply to study permit caps for 2025, which sets aside 12% of permits for master's and doctoral students. SOWPs for spouses of temporary foreign workers will also be limited to highly skilled professions, reducing the total by 100,000 permits. . Source: www.cicnews.com . .

✅Canada's Immigration Minister Marc Miller has announced stronger measures to combat the misuse of visitor visas, with many holders overstaying, working illegally, or submitting fraudulent documents. An investigation revealed some have exploited their entry into Canada to illegally cross into the U.S. Figures show nearly 60% of migrant encounters at the Canada-U.S. border involved individuals from India. To tackle these issues, Canada is enhancing vetting processes, imposing tougher penalties for violations, and adjusting immigration policies. The government aims to preserve the integrity of the immigration system while managing the influx of temporary residents and asylum claims. . Source: www.immigration.ca . .

✅Nearly 13,000 international students in Canada have applied for asylum this year, prompting concerns over the country’s once-popular student visa program. Data from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada shows a sharp rise in asylum claims, with 12,915 students or recent graduates filing between January and August 2023. This marks a staggering 600% increase compared to 2018. The surge has led the federal government to consider curbing student permits by 2025. The rising number of asylum claims puts pressure on Canada’s immigration system, leading to debate over the sustainability of current policies and their impact on postsecondary institutions. .
