Canada approved a record 608,420 Work Permits in 2022

 In the year 2022, Canada approved an all-time high of 608,420 Work Permits. Most of the approvals were for candidates whose occupation was included in the Canada Occupation In Demand List.

The number of approvals for 2022 is almost 200,000 higher than in the year 2021 wherein Canada approved 414,000 Work Permits. The approvals were through two major Work Permit programs in Canada:

  • The IMP- International Mobility Program 
  • The TFWP Temporary Foreign Worker Program 

The majority of the Work Permit approvals in 2022 were through IMP with 77% of the total or 472,070 Work Permits. The rest of the permits i.e. 136,350 Work Permits were approved through TFWP.

In the year 2019, 303, 545 Work Visas were approved through IMP. The numbers declined slightly in 2020 during the pandemic. In 2021, the numbers rebounded to 310, 660. The IMP has thus witnessed a hike of 55% in Work Permits after 2019.

In the year 2019, 98,030 Work Visas were approved through TFWP. The numbers declined slightly in 2020 during the pandemic. In 2021, the numbers rebounded to 103,340. The TFWP has thus witnessed a hike of 39% in Work Permits after 2019.

The TFWP and the IMP

The IMP and TFWP both offer Work Permits to eligible TFWs - Temporary Foreign Workers residing and working in Canada. Nevertheless, there are major variations between these two programs that must be kept in mind.

Employers in Canada can offer Work Visas to TFWs through the TFWP in order to respond to the authentic scarcity of labor in the nation. The most prominent difference between the IMP and TFWP is the requirement of the LMIA - Labor Market Impact Assessment. It is a document offered by the Government of Canada applied to assessing the impact of recruiting an overseas citizen on the labor market in the country.

LMIAs are required for offering Work Visas through TFWP. The Work Permits issued after an LMIA are normally specific to an employer. It is in contrast with the IMP which offers Open Work Permits to eligible overseas nationals.

The IMP seeks to advance the broad cultural, social, and economic policy objectives of Canada. It offers Work Permits normally according to the reciprocity between Canada and the applicant’s nationality. The approval is also for a major economic or social advantage resulting from recruiting the TFW.

As a result, the IMP has pathways like the GTS - Global Talent Stream, IEC - International Experience Canada, and Significant Benefit Work Visa Programs and others.

As specified already, IMP has extensive scope in comparison with TFWP. The Government of Canada does not specify an LMIA while approving Work Visas through IMP. The applicants are normally offered Open Work Permits.

IMP Categories with a maximum allocation of Work Permits

Below are the streams under IMP that were pathways for maximum approvals of Work Visas in 2022:

  • Medical Fellows and Residents and applicants of Post-graduate Employment: 36% of overall Permits
  • Religious or Charitable Workers: 29%
  • Other participants under IMP: 8%
  • Skilled Workers’ Spouses – 5%
  • Post-doctoral Ph.D. award recipients and fellows – 4%
  • Intra-company transfers – ICTs – 2%
  • International Experience Canada -2%

A few of the major policy alterations have to be noted here. IRCC has declared diminished requirements for Overseas Physicians seeking to immigrate to Canada. It has also enhanced the measures for the accreditation of medical professionals trained overseas. The initiative is for responding to the acute scarcity of workers in social assistance and healthcare all across the nation.

TFWP Categories with a maximum allocation of Work Permits

Below are the streams under TFWP that were pathways for maximum approvals of Work Visas in 2022:

  • Workers in Agriculture – 51% of overall Permits
  • Other TFWs having LMIA – 46%
  • Caregivers Live-in —2%;
  • Caregivers—0.2%

Canada has notably implemented several changes in policies for retaining and settling Caregivers. This is under the initiatives for addressing the scarcity of workers in social assistance and healthcare. It includes decreasing the work experience criteria by 50% for eligibility for PR Visa applications for these workers.

Provinces with a maximum allocation of Work Permits

The following is the allocation of share of Work Permits in 2022 amongst the 13 Canadian provinces and territories through both TFWP and IMP:

  1. Ontario—221,280 Work permits
  2. British Columbia—102,845 Work permits
  3. Quebec—89,765 Work permits
  4. Alberta—43,550 Work permits
  5. Manitoba—19,765 Work permits
  6. Nova Scotia—12,645 Work permits
  7. Saskatchewan—10,550 Work permits
  8. New Brunswick—9,640 Work permits
  9. Newfoundland and Labrador—4,210 Work permits
  10. Prince Edward Island—3,840 Work permits
  11. Northwest Territories—260 Work permits

Australia PR Visa pathway declared for Regional SC482 Visa Holders

The Department of Home Affairs has declared the Australia PR Visa pathway for Subclass 482 TSS Visa holders. This is in line with the earlier changes related to TSS Visa holders whose occupations were included in the STSOL List.

Eligible candidates seeking to migrate to Australia can utilize this opportunity. It is also applicable to immigration hopefuls seeking to apply for Australia PR Visa from India.

DHA has said that Subclass 482 Visa holders who stayed in Australia for a minimum of 1 year between February 1, 2020, and December 14 2021 will qualify for Subclass 186 ENS Visa. This is through the stream TRT - Temporary Resident Transition. Further, they must be legally employed while filing the application.

The concession has now been extended to Visa holders with sponsorship and whose occupations are included in the ROL - Regional Occupation List. These were earlier not eligible. Applicants are required to fulfill the rest of the eligibility requirements. It included having worked full-time in their occupation nominated for the employer for a minimum of 3 in the last 4 years as ROL Subclass 482 Visa holders.

The employer has to be qualified to sponsor them for the PR Visa. DHA has confirmed the current availability of this pathway for qualified Visa holders. Their occupations have to be included in the ROL. The details of the manner of implementation are yet to be published.

According to DHA, the pathway will be accessible for 24 months from July 1, 2022.

40% of overall immigration to regional Australia: RAI

The Regional Australia Institute has advised that the Government of Australia must aim at diverting 40% of the total overseas immigration to regional areas. It must be implemented from the next program year said the independent think tank.

Liz Ritchie the CEO of RAI said that the Population Statement for 2022 estimates that less than 17% of overall overseas immigration will be to regional Australia in 2022-2023. She added that regions in Australia deserve a much higher proportion of the total % of immigration to Australia.

The towns and cities in regional Australia are facing a scarcity of labor and skills and recorded 96,000 plus job openings by the end of 2022. The need is to collectively assess the processes and systems that support immigrants. This will help in increasing immigration to the regions said Ritchie.

The advisory comes amidst times when DHA has enhanced the processing times for select Regional Visa streams. However, it has decreased the processing times for some Independent Visa streams such as Subclass 189 Visa.

90% of regional immigration applications need 2 plus years

As per the official statistics, by December 31, 2022, the number of applications to be processed for Subclasses 887, 491 and 489 Visas were 52,428. It included 23, 247 chief applicants and 29, 181 secondary applicants.

Among these, 22, 569 applications were from Indian nationals for Subclasses 887, 491, and 489 Visas inclusive of chief applicants and secondary applicants. 90% of these applications need over 24 months for processing.

Currently, the processing times for Subclass 887 Visa are a maximum of 27 months and 30 months for Subclass 491 Visa applications. The Government of Australia has recruited additional staff for reducing processing delays. The maximum impacted Subclass 489 Visa has now been discontinued.

Nevertheless, for present Subclass 489 Visa applicants, the processing times have been updated to a maximum of 48 months by DHA. It is a significant increase in comparison with just 8 months in 2019.

As of now, Subclass 489 Visa has 3, 096 applications to be processed inclusive of both significant and secondary applicants. 1500 plus of these applications are from India.

Considerable backlog of Regional Visa applications

13,600 plus applications from Indian nationals are waiting for processing for immigration to regions in Australia through Subclass 491 Visa. Meanwhile, 7,300 plus applications are to be processed through Subclass 887 Visa.

Immigration Experts in India have said that several candidates are awaiting approval for their Australia Regional Visas which is unjust. Applicants of Subclass 491 Visa have to wait for more time in comparison with Subclasses 190 or 189 Visas. Further, they must also fulfill the criteria of working and residing in regions for another 3 years.

The Government of Australia has to make efforts for reducing the processing times for Regional Visas according to the Experts. This is something that is already implemented for Subclass 189 Visa, they add.

DHA recently decreased the processing times for Independent Subclass 189 Visa to a maximum of 3 months. However, for Subclasses 190 Visa, the processing time is a maximum of 15 months.
