Canada has
allocated an additional 2000 Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) spaces to
Immigrants. The Canadian Government announced this initiative on March 12,
2019. The extra spaces would be aimed at
Temporary Overseas Workers in Canada.
The PNP lets
provinces in Canada to nominate few Immigrants for Canada PR. The program aims
at easing the labour market shortage in the country. Every year the provinces select few Immigrants based on the following
criteria -
- Education
- Work experience
- Skills
- Age
The additional
spaces in 2019 would be dedicated to Immigrants with intermediate skills. These
are Temporary Overseas Workers who have been staying in Canada to help ease the
labour shortage. The skills should fall
under the category ‘C’ in the National Occupational Code list.
Ahmed Hussen,
Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship has expressed his
views. He said that Temporary Workers cater to the labour market needs. Also,
they contribute to the economic growth of the country. Hence, it is essential
to recognize the need for such Immigrants. The country wants to offer them a
chance to attain the Canada PR. The additional spaces in the PNP program will
accomplish that, he added.
According to
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), this initiative would
address the Worker Vulnerability issue. This is a multi-year Immigration levels
plan, as quoted by CIC News. They aim at
welcoming 61,000 Immigrants for Canada PR. The number has increased by
6,000 from last year. The initiative of allocating 2000 additional spaces is
part of this plan.
IRCC has created
a new Immigration pathway for Overseas Caregivers as well. This is a temporary
program that commenced on March 4, 2019. It will end on June 4, 2019. This is for in-home Overseas Caregivers
staying in Canada since November 30, 2014. They are being offered a unique
chance to acquire the Canada PR.
