Canada introduces new policy to extend the work permits of 6,700 Temporary Residents in Manitoba

By EUIC Admin News

Dear future neighbour,

Temporary foreign workers in Manitoba have reason to celebrate as a new policy has been implemented to enhance their employment status in Canada.

Yesterday, May 7, 2024, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced that Manitoba had approached his department, requesting an extension of work status for 6,700 temporary residents whose work permits are set to expire this year. Manitoba asserts that these temporary residents are capable of fulfilling the province’s labor requirements.

Considering this, Immigration Minister Marc Miller has announced the introduction of a new public policy enabling temporary workers in the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) pool to obtain open work permits. Additionally, he anticipates that eligible applicants will receive formal nominations from Manitoba and become permanent residents within the next two years.

Through the enactment of this one-time facilitation measure, Canada seeks to directly benefit prospective nominees by granting them the opportunity to work in Manitoba while their PNP applications are being processed, thereby fostering a positive impact.

According to Minister Miller’s statement, it’s reasonable to expect that an open work permit could be granted for a duration of two years, extending until 2026.

IRCC announces Study Permit Allocation for all Provinces

By EUIC Admin News, Study Visa

Dear future neighbour,

The Immigration Minister, Marc Miller announced the allocation of study permit for all provinces. IRCC made an announcement on the 22nd of January, 2024 that there will be a cap on the the number of international students that will be let into Canada in the year, 2024. To achieve this, all provinces will be given an allocation on the total number of study permits that will be approved, this allocation will be based on the population of the province.

IRCC adjusted allocations for provinces that would receive a lower allocation of study permits to lessen any negative impact.

Provinces that were poised to receive more international students in 2024 than in 2023 had their allocations capped at 10% of their population.

IRCC also topped up the allocations for provinces with an approval rate lower than 60% believing that it will help these provinces reach their expected number of approved study permits.

See below study permit allocation according to province

Province/Territory	PT Allocations (A)	Projected Study Permits Approved (B)	Change from 2023 (%)	Top-Up (C)	Revised PT Allocations with Top-Up (A+C)	Projected Study Permits Approved (same as B)
Alberta	40,894	24,537	+10	N/A	40,894	24,537
British Columbia	83,000	49,800	-18	N/A	83,000	49,800
Manitoba	15,233	9,140	-10	3,420	18,652	9,140
New Brunswick	9,279	5,567	-10	5,372	14,651	5,567
Newfoundland and Labrador	2,365	1,419	+10	788	3,153	1,419
Northwest Territories	333	200	+4900	N/A	333	200
Nova Scotia	12,906	7,744	-10	7,472	20,378	7,744
Nunavut	333	200	+6567	N/A	333	200
Ontario	235,000	141,000	-41	N/A	235,000	141,000
Prince Edward Island	2,004	1,202	-10	308	2.312	1,202
Quebec	72,716	43,629	+10	45,202	117,917	43,629
Saskatchewan	12,043	7,226	+10	3,011	15,054	7,226
Yukon	417	250	+205	N/A	417	250
Total	486,523	291,914	-28	65,572	552,095	291,914

IRCC does not have the authority to cap the number of approved study permits but the department can cap the number of study permit applications that are processed.

However, basing the cap for study permits on a national approval rate of 60%, IRCC says that the estimated cap of study permits issued is derived from the number of study permit applications it will process. In this situation, the department hopes to process 606,000 applications.
