You can work, study, and live in Canada. Learn more about Canada’s immigration programs, including how to get permanent residency by 2022. Here are the most popular ways to apply. In 2022, you can become a permanent resident in Canada and begin your new life in a new country!

Express Entry

In January, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada published a document that added some context to previous communications about Express Entry in 2022. It indicated that the FSW and CEC draw would be delayed until 2022 or later. According to the document, immigrants with good educational and professional credentials and French and English skills would be more likely to find good jobs. Therefore, it is possible that Express Entry will continue to be a viable path to Canada permanent residency in 2022.

For those who are interested in applying to the Express Entry pool, the first step is to apply to a provincial nominee program. This is the most effective way to increase your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. A valid job offer can contribute 50 or 200 points to your CRS score, and will guarantee you an invitation to apply for permanent residence from the IRCC. It’s possible to increase your score by studying in Canada.

New National Occupational Classification

As part of its immigration programs, Canada will continue to change its national occupational classification (NOC) system. The new system will replace the existing NOC with five-digit TEER codes. These codes will no longer be based on skill levels but will instead describe training, education, experience, and responsibility (TEER) categories. Whether you are interested in changing careers or seeking permanent residency, it is essential to understand the new system.

The New National Occupational Classification will implement structural changes and new content every five years. In a five-year process, the new NOC will be used to classify jobs in the Canadian economy. This change will affect economic Canada’s immigration programs, such as the federal express entry program and temporary foreign worker program. However, the federal government has yet to declare how the changes will affect applicants.

Work experience

To qualify for Canada Permanent Residency in 2022, you must have sufficient work experience in a recognized Canadian occupation. These experiences must total at least 1,560 hours and have been obtained within the previous 10 years. You can complete your work experience in Canada or abroad, as long as your experience counts as relevant work experience. It is important to note that part-time work does not count towards your total work experience.

You can earn up to 68 points for your application if you have at least 1 year of full-time work experience in Canada. You can get an additional 50 points for a spouse with Canadian work experience. You must also have a valid job offer to qualify for the new immigration criteria. You must also prove that your financial situation is stable enough to support your application. Applicants must also share documents demonstrating their education, language proficiency, and employment.

Impact of COVID-19

The recent pandemic has brought significant changes to Canada’s immigration process. While the COVID-19 pandemic closed the country’s borders in March 2020 and slowed travel, the country bounced back in 2021. But the changes made to the Express Entry system remain significant. Certain classes of applicants are no longer considered for permanent residency. While the changes were made in the short term, the changes will have a long-term impact.

In the budget for 2021, the minister of immigration was given new powers to use the Express Entry program to fill vacancies and address labor shortages. This program, a points-based system, allows prospective immigrants to enter Canada as a member of an economic class. The system has historically been responsible for 25 percent of the country’s immigration. As of June 2018, three92 applicants had been invited to apply for permanent residency in Canada. These applicants were all candidates under the Provincial Nominee program.
