Ottawa increased settlement funds for start-up visa applications
Immigrant entrepreneurs desiring to obtain permanent residency in Canada through the Start-Up Visa program will need to show they have more settlement money than necessary last year. The amount required for a single applicant has risen by $97, from $13,213 in 2021 to $13,310 this year as a result of the most recent hikes. Each number of family members has seen similar little increases in costs over time. This is the case even if the family is not coming to Canada with the applicant. The money must be accessible at all times both when a candidate applies for and receives a permanent residence visa.

Canada keeps temporary foreign workers in the country by lengthening the validity period of work permits
Candidates from the High-Wage and Global Talent Stream, which is run via Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), can now work in Canada for three years instead of two to assist businesses caught in labour scarcity bind. In addition, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) doubled the validity of a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from 9 to 18 months. Moreover, all businesses will be able to hire up to 20 percent of their workforce through the low-wage TFWP channel until further notice.

Manitoba’s Immigration Advisory Council is looking for ways to improve the province’s immigration policies
The newly-established Immigration Advisory Council in Manitoba has already begun to prepare for ways to improve the province’s immigration laws and policies. The advisory council was formed in late February and is led by World Refugee Council chair Dr. Lloyd Axworthy and Manitoba Immigration Minister Jon Reyes. The council plans to promote Manitoba and attract more immigrants to the province, streamline the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program, and foster Manitoba’s settlement and integration programs, services, and foreign credential recognition programs, to attract more immigrants and boost immigrant retention.
