Ontario expecting more immigrants
Each year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) distributes a set number of nominations to provinces and territories that operate Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).
In 2021, Ontario will receive 8,350 nominations for temporary foreign workers in intermediate skilled occupations, NOC Skill Level C, plus an additional 250 nominations.
Ontario had issued 8,600 nominations as of November 10, 2021. In an October interview with CIC News Ontario’s immigration minister, Monte McNaughton, said the province is requesting the federal government to treble its allocation next year.
The Working for Employees Act, which was recently approved in Ontario, will, among other things, assist immigrant workers in integrating into regulated industries outside of the health-care sector. It will make it illegal for regulatory organisations to need Canadian work experience, abolish the necessity for a language exam for licencing purposes, and speed up the licencing procedure, especially in emergency situations.
