Express Entry Is Back! New Immigration Policies Coming Summer 2022

Recently, Canada entered a general labour shortage. When the shortage was recognized in early April 2022, some immediate changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program were made in order to allow more workers to enter Canada. Additionally, further changes due to be enacted on April 30 were announced at the time, and those changes which will impact sectors with demonstrated labour shortages have been enacted. In order to address the labour shortage, the Government of Canada has started to update policies in order to help create more opportunities for Canadian employers to find employees. The updated policies will impact immigration to Canada later in 2022, so it is important for potential new immigrants to be aware of the policies in order to be in the best position to make a successful application.
