This week’s edition takes a deep dive into Bill C-12 and the significant changes it could bring to Canada’s immigration framework, including new powers to suspend or terminate entire classes of applications.
Key highlights:
- Bill C-12: Legislation focused on safety and security, but with major implications for immigration programs.
- Systemic Delays: IRCC’s public admission of decade-long backlogs could signal preparation for system restructuring.
- Immigration “Overflow”: Too many applications entering, too few being processed, change is coming.
- Employer Compliance: Tightened enforcement and penalties continue under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
- November 4th Budget: Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget is expected to redefine immigration funding, priorities, and targets.
- Provincial Role Expands: Expect more control, redesign, and flexibility in PNPs as Ottawa recalibrates national intake.
The message is clear: change is coming, and it will reshape how immigration is managed, funded, and prioritized in Canada.
