China News Service, January 5th. According to a comprehensive report by the Canadian "Sing Tao Daily", the turbulent epidemic has continued to affect Canada's immigration system. In 2021, many aspects of Canadian immigration policy will still have variables, but some measures are currently known It will benefit both Canada and future new immigrants.
"Canada Immigration News" recently published an article stating that Canada's immigration system will not return to normal before the epidemic is over.
The epidemic has not affected Canada’s firm commitment to welcome immigrants, temporary workers and international students.
According to the new immigration plan for 2021-2023, Canada's goal is to welcome 400,000 new immigrants each year, which is the highest record in Canadian history.
Although it is difficult to imagine whether Canada can achieve this goal in 2021 while the epidemic continues, these higher than ever goals will allow federal and provincial governments to continue processing applications and conduct immigration lotteries.
In this way, even if Canada cannot achieve the desired number of immigration in 2021, it can provide candidates with the necessary approval documents so that they can move to Canada later.
In addition, the advent of vaccines allows the Canadian government to consider possible changes to travel restrictions.
For example, for those new immigrants who have been vaccinated before entering Canada and provided a negative test certificate, Canada can consider removing travel restrictions.
Lifting such restrictions will help restore the influx of new immigrants and bring much-needed growth momentum to the Canadian economy.
The reason why the government formulated the 2021-2023 immigration plan is because Canada needs to increase the number of new immigrants to support the economic recovery after the epidemic.
The Immigration Department has confirmed that the drawing of the 2020 quota for parents and grandparents will take place in early 2021, and most likely in January.
The Department of Immigration will invite up to 10,000 applicants to submit sponsorship applications and sponsor their parents and grandparents to come to Canada.
Later this year, the Department of Immigration will open the 2021 PGP quota window and will conduct another draw to invite up to 30,000 applicants to sponsor their parents and grandparents to immigrate.
It can be expected that the Federal Department of Immigration and the provinces and territories will try their best to normalize the immigration system in 2021.
One can at least expect and hope that 2021 will be less turbulent than 2020.
