On June 27, 2023, the Immigration Minister announced the Canada Tech Strategy and as part of it, the minister announced that a new innovation stream would be introduced to bring talented workers to help build innovative businesses.

The Innovation Stream Pilot is a new program aimed at helping Canadian companies recruit highly skilled foreign workers. It allows these companies to hire workers on work permits without the need for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

Additionally, family members of these foreign workers will be eligible for open work permits, enabling them to work for virtually any employer in Canada.

The Innovation Stream is set to run for two years, concluding on March 22, 2026, unless there are any changes.

British Columbia just raised the bar for minimum wage in Canada! Effective today, June 1st, 2024, workers across the province will see their minimum hourly rate jump from $16.75 to $17.40. This 3.9% increase keeps pace with inflation and makes BC the leader in minimum wage rates nationwide.

The change applies to all workers, regardless of pay structure (hourly, salary, commission, etc.). If an employee's current earnings fall below the new minimum for their hours worked, their employer is legally obligated to bridge the gap. This positive development extends to workers with special minimum wage rates, such as liquor servers, live-in camp leaders, home support workers, and resident caretakers. Their rates will also see an increase on June 1st.

This is a welcome boost for BC's workforce, helping them cope with rising living costs.

Backlog: 897,100 (up from 892,000 in March)
Within Service Standards: 1,323,100

Citizenship Backlog Decreases: Streamlined processes might be working, with citizenship backlog dropping slightly.
Permanent Residency Backlog Stable: Backlog remained similar month-over-month.

Feeling stressed about staying in Canada after graduation? 🇨🇦 Relax, there are options!

We understand the recent immigration changes can be confusing, but extending your stay legally is achievable.

This post outlines the most common ways international students can extend their status:

Program Stacking: Extend your study permit by enrolling in another program. This can increase your future Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) duration.
Masters Program: Pursue a Master's degree for a longer study permit and gain points for permanent residency through programs like Ontario's Masters Graduate Stream.
Extend Your Student Status: Apply for a study permit extension based on a new program offer letter (before your current permit expires).
Remember:

PGWP is a one-time opportunity, so maximize its duration.
Renew your social insurance number and health insurance with your extended study permit.
Stay tuned for more on PGWP and other options!

🍁 Canada cabinet ministers to hold a meeting to discuss the process of citizenship for the migrants living in Canada without legal status.

This can also include rejected asylum seekers, allowing them to stay lawfully, The Globe and Mail reports. This new initiative would satisfy the Prime Minister’s mandate letter to former immigration minister Sean Fraser in 2021.

The mandate letter outlined that the minister should “Build on existing pilot programs to further explore ways of regularizing status for undocumented workers who are contributing to Canadian communities.”
