Canada immigration update: All PNP draws in July 2021

Immigration matters to Canada.

Grappling with an aging population on one hand and a low birth rate on the other, Canada faces a significant gap in the labour force.

https://youtu.be/ox8FsF53da8   Immigration is looked upon as being one of the ways of fixing the gap in the Canadian labour force. Both the federal governmental as well as the provincial/territorial governments in Canada require immigrants. However, the screening of potential migrants is as per the unique requirements of the government concerned. Launched in 2015, the Express Entry system is an online application management system used by the federal government of Canada. 3 of the main economic immigration programs of Canada are managed through the Express Entry system by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC]. 401,000 are to be welcomed by Canada in 2021. Around 60% of these are to be economic immigrants. 108,500 are to gain their Canadian permanent residence through IRCC Express Entry. 80,800 will gain permanent residence in Canada through the provincial route, that is, the immigration pathway that leads to Canada PR through the Provincial Nominee Program [PNP].
Why immigration matters to Canada?  
Immigrants contribute to the Canadian economy, as well as create jobs for Canadians.   It is mainly due to immigration that Canada’s labour force continues to grow, a small amount each year. Employers in Canada are unable to find sufficient number of qualified workers locally to fill the jobs available.   Canadians are living longer and having fewer children. Hence, while the number of individuals retiring is more, there are comparatively fewer students in schools.   Immigrants contribute to the Canadian economy by – ·         filling gaps in the labour force, ·         paying taxes, and ·         spending money on goods, housing and transportation.  
  9 provinces and 2 territories in Canada are a part of the Canadian PNP. Many provincial draws were held in July 2021 under the PNP.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELATED ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quebec, the only Canadian province not a part of the PNP, held no draws in July 2021. Provincial draws by Quebec are also referred to as Arrima draws. Invitations issued by Ontario are of 2 kinds – [1] under the Expression of Interest [EOI] system, and [2] Notification of Interest [NOI] letters. Ontario PNP has announced an Expression of Interest [EOI] system for 5 OINP streams. While 3 of these are open, the other 2 are to be launched by the OINP in the near future.
