Public Policy: PR Visas For Foreign National Physicians

Many foreign national physicians seeking to immigrate to Canada as permanent residents have the qualifications to apply to Canada’s federal economic immigration programs through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s Express Entry system. Yet, these physicians may have arranged employment and/or work experience in Canada that does not meet the programs’ requirements due to the structure of their work. This makes it more difficult for them to qualify for permanent residence through the federal economic programs and leverage the faster processing time of the Express Entry application intake management system.

New Policy: Proof of Funds – Federal Skilled Immigrants (Express Entry)

We updated the table that shows how much money you need to settle in Canada. We update these numbers every year, based on 50% of the low income cut-off totals. To stay eligible, you may need to update your settlement fund numbers in your Express Entry profile. The update must be done no later than April 25, 2023.
Updating your profile doesn’t change the date and time that we received it, so you’ll keep your rank if you’re in a tie-breaker situation.

Proof of funds is how you show us that you have enough money to settle in Canada. If we invite you to apply, you must give written proof that you have this money.

Immigration To Canada: Focus On Economic Immigrants, Researchers Urge

Motivated in part by the rapid rise in the overall level of immigration, which has continued despite the economic downturn, as well as changes in the type of immigrants admitted, a pair of Queen’s University economists are weighing on several contentious aspects of Canadian immigration policy just as that policy is being reviewed.
