Canada PR for International Students, Foreign Workers will get easier with new Motion-44 Plan
The transition to Canada PR for
International Students and Foreign Workers is about to get easy. The new M-44
plan has been passed and now new ways will be devised to fast-track the
permanent residency process.M-44 is also known as Motion 44 — “Permanent
Residency for Temporary Foreign Workers” — and is a motion regarding Canadian
immigration that was introduced in Parliament on January 31, 2022, by Randeep Sarai
of the Liberal party, Surrey Centre, B.C. It has since been amended and was
agreed to on May 11, 2022.
The passed M-44 motion called
on to the government to release a plan for the expansion of economic
immigration pathways so that workers at all skill levels can access the
benefits of permanent residency in Canada, especially in fields where there a
labor shortage. It would also aid in the smooth transition of temporary
resident status to a permanent resident. Canada’s permanent residency, PR process
is about to get much simpler and faster for many international students and
foreign workers. According to Randeep S. Sarai, Liberal Member of Parliament
for Surrey Centre, the motion M-44 was passed in the House of Commons, one that
dealt with the issue under consideration. With the passing of this, it is now
expected that Canada's PR for international students and workers will be
fast-tracked.
That, in the opinion of the
House, the government should develop and publicly release within 120 days
following the adoption of this motion a comprehensive plan to expand the
economic immigration stream to allow workers of all skill levels to meet the
full range of labor needs and pathways to permanent residency for temporary
foreign workers, including international students, with significant Canadian
work experience in sectors with persistent labor shortages, and such plan
should incorporate the following elements:
(a) amending eligibility
criteria under economic immigration programs to give more weight to significant
in-Canada work experience and expand the eligible occupational categories and
work experience at various skills levels.
(b) examining evidence and data
gathered from recent programs such as Temporary Resident to Permanent Resident
Pathway, Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), Rural and Northern Immigration
Program (RNIP), and Agri-Food Pilot, and Provincial Nominee Process (PNP).
(c) incorporating data on labor
market and skills shortages to align policy on immigrant-selection with
persistent laborgaps.
(d) assessing ways to increase
geographic distribution of immigration and encourage immigrant retention in
smaller communities, as well as increase Francophone immigration outside
Quebec.
(e) identifying mechanisms for
ensuring flexibility in immigration-selection tools to react quicker to changes
in labor market needs and regional economic priorities; and
(f) specifically considering
occupations and essential sectors that are underrepresented in current economic
immigration programs, such as health services, caregivers, agriculture,
manufacturing, service industry, trades, and transportation.
The decision for easier Canada
PR has also been taken after acknowledging that international students and
temporary foreign workers are an important part of Canada's economy. This new
strategy will now help by laying out new opportunities of employment and by
supporting community and regional needs. As per the official release, with
this, the government's aim is to strengthen the connections between labor
market and the immigration programs.
