A new Canada Permanent Residence Visa option for vital workers and overseas students has been launched recently. This is through a fresh Open Work Permit which is similar to the BOWP - Bridging Open Work Permit.
The latest Open Work Permit allows an applicant whose Work Visa is due to expire in 4 months to file an application for a fresh Open Work Permit. It will permit them to continue to work during the processing of their Canada Permanent Residence Visa.
The fresh Canada immigration pathway has been receiving applications from 26 July 2021. To become eligible to apply for this one-time Canada Open Work Visa, applicants have to demonstrate that they:
90,000 plus provisional residents in Canada now have the chance to obtain the status of Permanent Residents in 2023. This is through the 6 new Canada immigration routes launched on 6th May. The new immigration routes are aimed at vital workers, French speakers, and overseas students. These latest immigration initiatives are aimed at supporting more provisional residents to obtain Permanent Residence in Canada.
The Immigration Minister of Canada made an announcement of these latest programs on 14th April. Applications will be accepted through these programs till 5th November 2021 or exhaustion of the program’s quota.
Remarkably, French-speaking applicants are free from the quota ceiling. The latest routes have been termed provisional public policies. This implies that they will not be made a permanent feature of the immigration framework. However, extension possibilities are always present.
Applicants can include their partner or spouse and dependent kids in the application. This offers the chance to obtain PR status for the family.
Vital workers crucial for managing the pandemic in Canada are qualified to submit an application through 2 streams:
French-speaking candidates have their extra streams with identical criteria. The only exception is the French language criteria and the absence of any quota.
Applicants must possess a minim of 1-year full-time work experience in Canada. Alternatively, equivalent part-time work experience/ 1, 560 hours also qualifies. It must have been obtained in Canada 3 years before submission of the application.
The work experience in Canada must be in any one or multiple qualified healthcare jobs for the stream for Healthcare workers. It must be in one or multiple qualified non-healthcare jobs for the stream for non-Healthcare workers. Experience in healthcare jobs can also be blended for application through this stream.
Applicants have to be working in Canada while filing the application. The current work can be in any occupation and not necessarily in an occupation present in the list of eligible occupations. Moreover, it is not specified by the government guidelines that the current work must be full-time. This implies that part-time work will also be adequate.
