Ottawa introduced new instructions regarding work permits for visitors
On November 7, 2022, the Government of Canada published new instructions for the public policy allowing certain visitors in Canada to apply for a work permit. The further instructions state that a visitor approved for an interim authorization to work in Canada may only continue working once a final decision is made if they have left Canada. Eligibility for this public policy requires all foreign nationals to remain in the country while the IRCC is processing their work permit application.

It is National Francophone Immigration Week
This week is National Francophone Immigration Week which brings together Francophones of all backgrounds. National Francophone Immigration Week is a Canadian Initiative that encourages New French Speaking immigrants to move to 14 communities of Canada participating in this event. The event provides opportunities for employers who want to recruit new Francophone immigrants. The initiative, inspired by the 2012 Atlantic Francophone Immigration Week organized by the Atlantic Committee on Francophone Immigration, has received financial support from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Canada will hold more PNP draws in the coming years
The recently announced Immigration Levels Plan will significantly increase permanent residents arriving in Canada, the majority under the Provincial Nominee Program. In 2022, 83,500 new permanent residents were invited to Canada through this program, but that number is set to jump 20,000 higher next year – 105,000 total – due to the recent Immigrations Level Plans changes. By 2024, the PNP target will be 110,000, and by 2025, it will be 117,500. Therefore, one-fifth of all new permanent residents admitted in 2025 will come through the PNP.
