One-third of immigrants can leave Canada in the next two years
On March 23, 2022, Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) published a new national survey conducted by Leger. According to the results of the survey, around 30% of immigrants aged 18 to 34 who recently moved to Canada plan to move to another country in the next two years. The survey also revealed another disturbing picture: 23% of college-educated immigrants are also likely to leave the country in the next couple of years. Survey findings also showed that many immigrants think that Canadians don’t understand the challenges that immigrants face.

Nova Scotia temporarily stopped the intake of immigrants under the Atlantic Immigration Program
On March 29, 2022, the Government of Nova Scotia announced that the province has temporarily paused the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) and the Nova Scotia Experience: Express Entry (NSEEE) stream to food service supervisors (NOC 6311). As of now, applicants who possess work experience under the NSEEE or AIP under NOC 6311 are not eligible to apply for permanent residency (PR). However, candidates working under the NOC 6311 can apply through the Skilled Worker Stream, and employers in the food and hospitality sectors may use the Skilled Worker stream to recruit employees under this NOC. In addition, Nova Scotia employers may also hire food and beverage servers (NOC 6513), food counter attendants, kitchen helpers, and related support occupations (NOC 6711) under the Occupations in Demand stream.
