IRCC eased work permit application requirements for family class applicants

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has issued an update regarding the public policy for spouses or common-law partners in Canada (SCLPC) class, as well as family class applicants applying within Canada. 


As of December 7, 2023, to prevent family class applicants from losing their status while awaiting acknowledgment of receipt for their permanent residence application, the IRCC will now accept open work permit applications without the acknowledgment of receipt. 


This policy applies to applicants who can provide the necessary proof that their work permit, study permit, or temporary resident status is due to expire within two weeks.


Public Policy for Spouses or Common-law Partners in Canada


This public policy allows sponsored spouses and partners to support their families and build a life together in Canada. Sponsored spouses and partners, as well as their family members, contribute to the social and economic well-being of Canadian citizens and permanent residents.


When a foreign national applies for an open work permit under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class or the Family Class, and their family members have a valid temporary resident status, have maintained their status, or are eligible for and have applied to restore their status and have the same residential address as their sponsor in Canada.


Family Class Immigration


The family class immigration program's goal is to reunite Canadian citizens and permanent residents with close family members. By agreeing to support sponsored members of the family class, the sponsor promises that they will meet the basic needs of their family members for a set period of time so that they do not have to rely on social assistance.


Priority is given to sponsorship applications involving spouses, common-law or conjugal partners, and dependent children. Adopted children, children to be adopted, and orphans are given priority in sponsorship applications, as they frequently involve minors without parental care.

Canada may recruit DACA recipients

  Canada may recruit DACA recipients  Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a program that protects and provides work authorization to immigrants brought to the US as children. Over 570,000 Dreamers are currently protected by DACA and are productive members of the American economy.  However, the program is in legal limbo as Congress has failed to authorize permanent protection, and Republican states are suing to terminate it.  Canada is actively recruiting immigrants with US work experience or education and could also attract DACA recipients, highly educated and qualified workers.  Canada's Express Entry system could be a viable option for Dreamers, who would be competitive candidates. If Canada poaches Dreamers, the US will face significant economic losses as Canada reaps the benefits of highly productive US-trained immigrants. Canada has stepped up its efforts in recent months to deliberately recruit immigrants with prior education or work experienc...

IRCC sets new wage rules for employers recruiting temporary foreign workers

IRCC sets new wage rules for employers recruiting temporary foreign workers From January 1, 2024, employers recruiting through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) must adjust foreign workers' wages to match updated prevailing rates, as per Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Although some employers are exempt, this usually requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The Job Bank updates provincial wage differences annually.  Canada is inviting foreign workers to boost its economy amid labor shortages, with potential losses of $38 billion due to shortages, as the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) reported. Foreign workers in Canada are legally entitled to the same rights as Canadians, with employers required to ensure a fair work environment and access to healthcare. Even if the prevailing wage falls, the updated wage can never fall below the wage identified in the positive LMIA at any time during a TFW's employment period. Emplo...
