Canada proposed new ‘Code of Professional Conduct for College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants Licensees’
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has proposed a new code of conduct that is open to public consultation for 30 days. It was published under the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants Act in the official Canada Gazette on May 14, 2021. The clauses cover all aspects of immigration consultancy services, such as relationships with clients, sexual harassment, discrimination, charging of fees, etc. The new code of conduct targets so-called ghost immigration consultants and tackles the scourge of fraud.

Canada can increase caps of new temporary immigration pathways
With the introduction of new pathways to permanent residency, Canada will grant permanent residency to 90,000 temporary foreign workers and international student graduates as part of the country’s annual immigration goal. Due to the extensive number of applicants, the pathway for international student graduates reached its caps. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marco Mendicino stated that he is open to discussions about the revision of current caps, which means the government can increase caps to meet the 2021 levels target of 401,000 permanent resident admissions.
