Canadian Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino following the suspension of permanent and temporary resident visas announced yesterday by the United States, simply announced – “Come to Canada”.
President Donald Trump signed a new executive order that will prevent new green card holders and temporary foreign workers from coming to the United States in 2020. Trump signed the order because he thinks it will help American workers who lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic are finding jobs.
Minister Mendicino has made many comments since the start of the coronavirus crisis that Canada is still committed to welcoming immigrants, temporary foreign workers, and international students. Although the Canadian economy has also been weakened by the pandemic, Mendicino and the Canadian government believe that continuing to welcome immigrants will help the economy.
Mendicino reiterated these views in a new TV interview.
Asked about his thoughts on suspending immigration to the United States, Mendicino said that immigration would “spring Canada’s economic recovery”. He stated, “We have a plan in place that looks to leverage the best and the brightest from around the world. We’ve got pathways like the Express Entry program, and the Global Talent Stream, which will help to bring entrepreneurs, engineers, and innovators. We’ve also got pathways for manual laborers and skilled laborers.”
In fact, Canada continues to welcome new immigrants through Express Entry, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), and other permanent residency routes during the pandemic. In addition, temporary foreign workers are largely exempt from Canada’s current travel restrictions and technology workers can enter Canada through temporary visa channels such as the Global Talent Stream.
Before the pandemic, Canada sought to welcome 341,000 new permanent residents in 2020 after the record year it had experienced in 2019. Canada has not set targets for temporary foreign workers and international students.
In all, Canada offers more than 100 combined options for permanent and temporary residents for skilled workers who want to take advantage of the country’s economic opportunities. Canada also offers various immigration streams for temporary foreign workers and international students who wish to move to permanent resident status in Canada.

Ever since I have spoken to Team Nationwide, I have received all kinds of support I have looked for, starting from transcripts to IELTS coaching, they have helped me with everything. I already have referred three of my friends to them because of the fabulous service delivered by them and shall be doing it in the future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I decided to opt for Nationwide Visas for preparing my application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Today, my parents are proud of me for making the right choice, it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences me more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got reference for Nationwide Visas through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of Team Nationwide. They explained the documentation process in detail and made the correct recommendations that I cherish now.
Before initiating the immigration process, I was a bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained the whole process to me over the phone without trying to sell their service, I felt assured. I did not give it a second thought and initiated my immigration process. All the case managers at Nationwide Visas are well-versed with the process and never fall short of expectations whenever I walk up to them with any queries.
For the past 4 months, I had been struggling with understanding the immigration process and was looking for a consultant who could not only explain the process, but also guide me regarding what all options were available to me. So, after reading their reviews, I approached Nationwide Visas, and true to their reviews, they explained the whole process to me while also giving me clear information about the chances I had at securing Canada PR Visa.
