Canada Tightens Immigration Rules

By Travis P September 20, 2024 1 min. read

Canada has a long-standing tradition of welcoming newcomers and foreigners from around the globe. As the country’s economy and immigration landscape evolves, so too must its immigration policies. To address the challenges and opportunities presented by a softening labor market and increased global displacement, the Canadian government has announced several measures to manage temporary resident arrivals and maintain the integrity of its immigration system.

What Are the New Canada Immigration Changes?

Reduction in Temporary Residents

The government aims to reduce the percentage of temporary residents in Canada’s total population from 6.5% to 5% by 2026. This will involve stricter enforcement of employer compliance, tighter eligibility requirements for temporary foreign workers, and more rigorous labor market impact assessments.

International Student Program Reforms

The government is reducing the intake cap on international student study permits, updating the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, and limiting work permit eligibility for spouses of international students and foreign workers.

Asylum System Enhancements

To address the growing number of asylum claims, Canada is implementing partial visa requirements for Mexican nationals, improving claims processing, and reviewing visa decision-making procedures.

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
