Canada’s initiative to grant permanent residency to students and professionals
In a move towards inclusive immigration policies, Minister of Immigration Canada, Marc Miller has announced an initiative that facilitates the way for unauthorized immigrants, students, and professionals to apply for permanent residency in the nation.
As per the report, there are estimated 300,000 to 600,000 individuals living in Canada without having proper documentation, which puts them at risk of getting deported. This program will be extended to those who arrived into the nation legally as international students or temporary workers and chose to remain in the country after their visas got expired.
