Spaces will provide PR pathway for workers at the intermediate skill level
An additional 2,000 temporary foreign workers could be admitted to Canada as permanent residents this year through Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program, the Government of Canada has announced.
“Temporary foreign workers fill long-term labour market needs and contribute to the growth of our economy,” Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen said in a statement. “We recognize the need to provide opportunities for them to transition to permanent residence — and these additional spaces under the Provincial Nominee Program will do just that.”
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said the additional spaces will also help address “worker vulnerability.”
