WHATSAPPThe role of immigrants in the post pandemic economic recovery of Canada will be crucial, and they will be in high demand to fill the labour shortages that the country would be facing. Experts think that reopening the borders for immigrant workers will greatly benefit the employers and small businesses in the country.
Even before the outbreak of pandemic, immigrants were on high demand in Canada. The country was planning to welcome more immigrants to overcome the labour shortages caused by an aging population and low birth rate in the country. The pandemic has further increased the demand for immigrant workers.
Because of this reason, Canada has been continuing to invite immigration candidates and process applications for immigration, even after the introduction of border restrictions. Express Entry draws were also conducted regularly, considering Canada’s need for attracting skilled labourers to the country.
According to the Immigration Levels Plan of Canada for 2021-23, the country will be welcoming more than 400,000 new permanent residents every year during this period. Almost 60 percent of these immigrants will be skilled workers. The three major federal immigration pathways for skilled workers are the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). These programs are managed under the Express Entry. Eligible immigration applicants may create an Express Entry profile. Based on various eligibility factors, each candidate is awarded a Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score and candidates with the highest scores rea invited to apply for permanent residence in the Express Entry draws that are conducted regularly.
Canada is also targeting international students with skills to contribute towards the country’s economic recovery. Because of this reason, the international students are exempted from travel restrictions and they are allowed to apply for and obtain study permits. Canada thinks that international students will be a valuable addition to the country’s future workforce.
