Quebec is trying to reduce the number of temporary foreign workers to balance the job market and prioritize local workers. They are also introducing a cap on international student applications to manage the number of temporary residents. Federal Government’s LMIA Restrictions This is not just a Quebec decision. The Canadian federal government has also restricted low-wage LMIA applications in cities with high unemployment rates (above 6%). These areas are updated every three months, with the next update on April 4, 2025. Exceptions are made for essential industries like: 1. Can I still apply for an LMIA in Quebec? 2.

The Quebec government has announced a cap on the number of international students who can be admitted to its universities. These limits will be in place until February 26, 2026. Once a university reaches its maximum number of applications, it will not be able to accept more international students, unless they meet specific exemption criteria. These new limits do not apply to students who: Study Permit Limits for Quebec Universities Quebec has set a total limit of 63,299 study permit applications across all universities for the next year (February 26, 2025 – February 26, 2026). Below are some of the major universities and their caps: Some institutions, such as the Montreal Conservatory of Dramatic Arts and the Montreal Institute of Theological Training, have been allocated zero study permits. How to Apply for a Study Permit in Quebec If you want to study in Quebec, you need two approvals: Steps to Apply for a CAQ Once you receive your CAQ, you can then apply for a Canadian Study Permit from the federal government. 1. Can I apply for a study permit if I missed the cap? If your chosen university has already reached its limit, you will not be able to apply unless you meet one of the exemption criteria. 2. How long does it take to get a CAQ? The processing time is around 25 working days once all documents are submitted. 3. Do I need a CAQ for all study programs in Quebec? Yes, except for elementary and secondary school students, who are exempt. 4. What happens if my CAQ application is rejected? You will receive a reason for the refusal. You can correct any issues and reapply or appeal the decision if applicable. 5. How much does it cost to apply for a CAQ? The CAQ application fee is $132 CAD.

Good news for those waiting on their immigration applications! Canada’s Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has been making progress in reducing its backlog of applications. As of January 31, 2025, the backlog has dropped below one million for the second month in a row, showing a 5.33% improvement compared to December 2024. Let’s break it down in simple terms. What is an Immigration Backlog? A backlog happens when applications take longer to process than the expected time set by IRCC. Different types of applications have different processing timelines: If an application takes longer than this, it is considered part of the backlog. How Much Has the Backlog Reduced? Here’s a look at how the backlog has improved over the last six months: Month Immigration Backlog August 2024 1,078,300 September 2024 1,097,000 October 2024 1,056,100 November 2024 1,006,500 December 2024 942,300 January 2025 892,100 IRCC is also processing more applications overall. The total number of applications in its system decreased from 2,119,900 (December) to 2,076,600 (January). How Are Different Application Types Affected? ✅ Permanent Resident (PR) Applications ✅ Temporary Resident Applications (Work Permits, Study Permits, Visitor Visas) ✅ Citizenship Applications What is IRCC Doing to Reduce the Backlog? The Canadian government has made some big changes to manage application processing better: 🔹 Does a smaller backlog mean my application will be processed faster?Yes! If IRCC is processing applications more quickly, there is a better chance that your application will be completed within the expected timeframe. 🔹 Why is the backlog still high for visitor visas?Visitor visas are seeing a high number of applications, and processing times have been slower than expected. 🔹 What if my application is in the backlog?If your application is delayed beyond the normal processing time, it is considered part of the backlog. You can check your status on IRCC’s website. 🔹 Will job cuts at IRCC slow down processing?Possibly. While IRCC says it is adjusting to lower immigration targets, fewer staff could mean slower processing times in the future. Final Thoughts IRCC is working to reduce the immigration backlog, and the numbers are improving. While there are still delays in some areas (especially visitor visas and study permits), Express Entry and family sponsorship programs are doing better. If you are waiting for an application, stay updated and check IRCC’s official website for updates!

Prince Edward Island (PEI) has made a big change to its Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP). From January 24, 2025, foreign workers can only apply through this program if they have jobs in healthcare, construction, or manufacturing. This means that if you work in any other sector, you will have to explore different immigration options. Why is PEI Limiting the AIP? Who Can Apply for PR Through the AIP? To be eligible, you must: ✔ Have a job offer from a designated employer in healthcare, construction, or manufacturing. ✔ Get your job offer endorsed by PEI. ✔ Have at least one year of work experience OR a two-year degree from an Atlantic province. ✔ Meet the language requirements (CLB 4 or 5 depending on the job level). ✔ Have enough settlement funds for yourself and your family. How to Apply for PR Through AIP? Note: If your job is not in healthcare, construction, or manufacturing, you’ll need to look at other immigration programs. Alternative PR Pathways for PEI If you don’t qualify for the AIP, don’t worry! Here are other ways you can still move to PEI: 1. Express Entry This is Canada’s main immigration system for skilled workers. You need to: Tip: The higher your CRS score, the better your chances of getting an ITA. Having strong French skills or working in an in-demand job can improve your score! 2. PEI Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) If Express Entry is too competitive, you can try PEI’s PNP program, which offers several streams: If PEI nominates you through its PNP program, you will either: Bonus: PEI will issue you a work permit support letter so you can work while your PR application is being processed. 1. What happens if I already applied under the AIP for a different sector? If your application was submitted before January 24, 2025, it will still be processed. If not, you will need to explore other pathways. 2. Can I still work in PEI if I don’t qualify for AIP? Yes! You can apply for a work permit through other federal programs like the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) or the International Mobility Program (IMP). 3. Is it easier to get PR through Express Entry or the PEI PNP? It depends on your profile. Express Entry is faster but competitive. If your CRS score is low, PEI PNP might be a better option since it can give you 600 additional points. 4. Do I need a job offer to apply for PEI PNP? Yes, most PNP streams require a job offer from a PEI employer, except for some categories that target entrepreneurs or high-skilled workers. 5. How do I find a designated employer for AIP? You can check PEI’s official list of designated employers on their government website. These employers are approved to hire foreign workers. Final Thoughts PEI’s new immigration rules mean that only healthcare, construction, and manufacturing workers can use the AIP. But don’t worry—there are still many other ways to immigrate to PEI! Whether it’s through Express Entry, PEI PNP, or a work permit, you still have a strong chance to make PEI your new home.

Status: Starting March 31, 2025 Home care workers play an important role in Canadian society. They help take care of children, support seniors, and assist people with disabilities to live independently. They also help more Canadians work and contribute to the economy. Canada is launching new immigration programs to make it easier for home care workers to come to Canada and become permanent residents. Here’s all the information you need about these new opportunities! What Are the Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots? These new pilots will help home care workers who work in home support or childcare become permanent residents in Canada. The program is designed to fill the growing need for home care workers in Canada. It will help people get permanent residence without needing to first work in Canada for years. There are 2 main streams: When the pilots open in March 2025, only the Workers in Canada stream will be accepting applications. The other stream will open in the future. Key Features of the Home Care Worker Pilots 1. One-Step Process for Permanent Residence 2. Lower Language and Education Requirements 3. No Canadian Work Experience Needed 4. Flexible Work Options with Job Offers Who Can Apply for the Home Care Worker Pilots? You are eligible if you meet these basic criteria: You do not need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), which makes it easier to apply. What If I Applied to Previous Pilots? If you applied to the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or the Home Support Worker Pilot before June 17, 2024, your application is still being processed. If you now meet the work experience requirements, you can submit the proof to update your application. If you didn’t apply to those pilots, you may still be eligible for these new Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots. Can I Apply If I Don’t Have Status in Canada? Yes! If you’re a home care worker without status in Canada, you might still qualify for the new pilots. However, there will be a limited number of spots available under a special policy. How to Prepare for the Application While full details will be available closer to the opening of the pilots, here are some things you can do now to get ready: If you’re already in Canada: If you’re not in Canada: Q1: Do I need a job offer from a recruitment agency? No, you need a job offer from a direct employer in Canada, not a recruitment agency. Q2: What kind of jobs qualify for this program? The job must be related to home care, such as: Q3: Can I apply if I don’t speak perfect English or French? You only need a level 4 in language proficiency, which is a basic level. You don’t need to be fluent, but you should be able to communicate effectively. Q4: What if I have no experience in Canada but I have worked as a caregiver in another country? That’s fine! As long as you have recent, relevant work experience (at least 6 months), you can apply. You can also apply if you have caregiver training. Q5: Can I apply from outside Canada? Yes, the program will open for people outside Canada later. If you’re outside, you’ll be able to apply once the “Applicants not working in Canada” stream is open. Conclusion The new Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots are a great opportunity for skilled workers in the home care sector to come to Canada and become permanent residents. With lower language and education requirements, and no need for prior Canadian work experience, it’s an easier path for those who have the skills and experience in home care.

Canada’s immigration system includes an excessive demand policy to manage healthcare and social service costs for new immigrants. This policy affects applicants for permanent and temporary residence and is based on the estimated costs of their medical conditions. Understanding this policy can help you navigate potential medical inadmissibility and prepare for a strong application. What is Excessive Demand? Excessive demand refers to the estimated healthcare and social service costs for an applicant exceeding a specific threshold set by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The primary concern is that an individual’s medical condition could place a significant burden on publicly funded services. Excessive Demand Cost Threshold The annual cost threshold is updated periodically by IRCC. As of the latest update, the excessive demand cost threshold is approximately three times the average Canadian per capita health and social services costs. Applicants can check the latest threshold figures on the IRCC website. Who is Exempt from Excessive Demand? Certain applicants are exempt from this policy, including: However, applicants under the Economic Class and other immigration categories are subject to this assessment. How Does Excessive Demand Impact Your Application? If an applicant is found likely to exceed the excessive demand threshold, they may be deemed medically inadmissible. However, there are steps that can be taken to respond to this finding. What Happens After a Medical Exam? Once the Medical Health Branch (MHB) records that a foreign national may be inadmissible on health grounds, this information is automatically linked to their permanent or temporary residence application in the Global Case Management System (GCMS). IMEs Assessed Between June 1, 2018, and March 15, 2022 For immigration medical exams (IMEs) assessed during this period under the Temporary Public Policy Regarding Excessive Demand on Health and Social Services, the following procedures apply: Processing at a Port of Entry Border services officers follow section 7.7 of ENF 4 when processing foreign nationals with medical conditions. Key steps include: Processing IMEs Assessed After March 15, 2022 When a foreign national is found likely to exceed the excessive demand threshold or be a danger to public health or safety, the migration officer must: Response to Procedural Fairness Letters Once a procedural fairness response is received from the applicant, the HMID-NF contacts the responsible regional medical office by email to request a review of the submission. The medical officer should: If No Procedural Fairness Response is Received If the applicant does not respond within the given time frame (including any extensions), the HMID-NF officer will: Final Decision on the Application 1. Can an applicant challenge an excessive demand finding? Yes. Applicants can respond to procedural fairness letters with additional medical reports, financial plans, or other mitigating factors. 2. What happens if an applicant’s condition exceeds the cost threshold? If an applicant’s medical costs exceed the threshold, they may be found inadmissible, unless an exemption applies or their case qualifies under humanitarian and compassionate grounds. 3. Are temporary residents subject to excessive demand assessments? Yes. Certain temporary residence applicants, such as work permit holders and students, may be assessed for excessive demand if their stay is expected to exceed six months. 4. How can an applicant prove they won’t exceed the threshold? Applicants can submit evidence, such as private health insurance, a financial plan, or an employer-sponsored healthcare program, to demonstrate that they will not be a burden on Canada’s healthcare system. Final Thoughts Understanding Canada’s excessive demand policy is essential for potential immigrants. While exemptions exist for certain applicants, those subject to medical assessments should carefully prepare their case. Seeking legal guidance and preparing a strong procedural fairness response can improve an applicant’s chances of overcoming medical inadmissibility.

The government of Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) is introducing new rules starting April 1, 2025, to better protect temporary foreign workers. These rules will make sure workers are treated fairly and that recruiters follow strict guidelines. What Are the New Protections? Under the new Temporary Foreign Worker Protection Act, the following protections will be in place: New Rules for Recruiters Starting July 1, 2025, anyone helping employers find foreign workers in P.E.I. must have a recruiter licence. However, the following people don’t need a recruiter licence: Why Is This Happening? Last year, a United Nations report criticized Canada’s temporary foreign worker program, calling it a “breeding ground for modern slavery.” P.E.I. wants to ensure that foreign workers are treated fairly and have safe living conditions. To improve worker housing, the government has also introduced a grant program that provides farms with up to $15,000 to upgrade accommodations for temporary foreign workers. 🔹 Who do these protections apply to? 🔹 Can my employer keep my passport for safety reasons? 🔹 What happens if a recruiter tries to charge me extra money? 🔹 I was promised a higher salary, but my employer is paying me less. What can I do? 🔹 Do I need to pay anything to a recruiter? 🔹 How will the government check if these rules are followed? This is a big step towards making sure foreign workers are protected and treated with respect. If you or someone you know is planning to work in P.E.I., these new rules will help ensure a fair and safe work experience.
