Canada has concluded its general election, with the Liberal Party, which holds an open attitude towards immigration policy, winning. New trends in Canadian immigration policy are about to emerge. On the 13th, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a mandate to the Federal Minister of Immigration, John McCallum, outlining the expectations for the Minister of Immigration and the key priorities that need to be addressed. From this letter, we can see the development direction of Canadian immigration in 2016.
New Trends in Canadian Immigration in 2016
John McCallum serves as the Minister of Immigration, Citizenship and Refugees in the new government. Trudeau's letter lists 12 urgent priorities that he expects McCallum to address, most of which aim to lower the barriers to immigration. It is believed that with the issuance and implementation of these policies, Canadian immigration will welcome good opportunities.
1. In the federal government's annual immigration plan for 2016, the quota for parents and grandparents will be doubled to 10,000 applications per year;
2. The age limit for children of applicants will be restored from 19 years to 22 years, allowing more Canadians to bring their children to Canada;
3. Plans will be developed to shorten processing times for various application categories, including spousal immigration, citizenship applications, and other visa applications;
4. A new program will be established for spousal immigration applications for Canadian permanent residency;
5. The Immigration Department will collaborate with the Federal Department of Justice and the Department of Public Safety to revoke the power of the immigration law that allows the government to strip dual citizens of their Canadian citizenship;
6. The regulation that international students' time spent in Canada cannot be counted as half towards residency requirements will be revoked, meaning that when applying for Canadian status, the time they previously spent in Canada can now be counted fully;
7. The requirement for new citizens to sign a declaration of intent to remain in Canada will be revoked;
8. Friends applying for the "Express Entry" program will receive additional points if they have siblings in Canada;
9. The temporary foreign worker program will be revised to eliminate the requirement for Canadian citizens hiring caregivers to pay a 1,000 Canadian dollar "Labour Market Impact Assessment" fee, and a new system will be established in cooperation with provinces to regulate caregiver employment agencies.
