Newfoundland and Labrador allows foreign nationals in Canada to sit on corporate boards
Since April 1, 2022, Newfoundland and Labrador has dropped 25 percent Canadian residency requirement for corporate boards and allowed temporary residents of the province to set up corporations and sit on corporate boards with ease due to a change the province is making to its Corporations Act. According to the legislation, as it currently stands, corporations in the province must have at least 25 percent of their directors be Canadian residents, which includes Canadian citizens, permanent residents, international entrepreneurs, and international graduate entrepreneurs.

Canada returned the number of international students to pre-pandemic levels
According to new statistics, the number of international students enrolling at Canadian educational institutions in 2021 was almost as high as it was in 2019, the year before the epidemic. However, fewer Chinese, South Korean, and Vietnamese students came to Canada for their education in 2021, in contrast to a greater number of students from a broader range of countries and regions, including Europe and Latin America. Last year, the number of Canadian study permits granted to foreign students was down by only 2.6% when compared with statistics of 2019.
