IRCC will introduce a new language proficiency test for Canadian immigration system in 20234/8/2022
The new language test's name was concealed in a briefing memorandum. There are presently only four authorized organizations for English: IELTS and CELPIP, followed by TEF and TCF for French. According to the memorandum, IRCC will look for potential initiatives and improvements over the following 12 months. These reforms, if enacted, are anticipated to spark the attention of even more organizations in designation. There is currently no restriction to the number of language testing providers or contractual arrangements that IRCC can enter into. The CLBs that are aligned with the CLBs with CEFR will be evaluated by IRCC. IRCC is currently investigating the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) in relation to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Rather than a range of one to seven, CEFR-test takers can now get marks on an alpha-numeric scale with A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. French language assessment should not be overlooked. There is a greater need for French-designated organizations to improve their testing capabilities. As a result, in addition to TEF and TCF, a new French-appointed exam has been introduced to assess the possible rise in demand. Since the return of all-program draws on July 6. IRCC invited 2000 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residency on August 3, 2022. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 533. The CRS requirement for the current draw is 9 points lower than the minimum cut-off score for the last all-program draw on July 20, which was 542. Canada proposes to accept 55,900 permanent residents through Express Entry in 2022, with the number rapidly increasing to 111,500 by the end of 2024. The current policy of only accepting test results from certified independent testing companies was designed to allow more immigration applicants to demonstrate their language ability while also assuring a fair and transparent procedure.

Calgary, Alberta, currently tied third place this year with Zurich. It outperformed Zurich in terms of education and infrastructure but fell short in terms of culture and environment. Overall, Vienna got first position, with Copenhagen coming in second. Vancouver was ranked fifth, while Toronto, Canada's largest and most populated city, was ranked eighth. This represents an improvement over 2021, when COVID-19 pandemic limitations forced some cities to fall in the rankings. Toronto was ranked twenty in 2021. Damascus, Tripoli, and Lagos ranked bottom this year owing to dangerous living conditions and a significant terrorist threat. The 2022 report featured 172 cities, a 33-city increase from the 2021 edition. After an 18-month pause, IRCC organizes, its second all-program draw in a succession. A total of 1,750 Express Entry applicants were invited to apply for permanent residency by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on July 20, 2022. The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 542. The CRS requirement for the current draw is 15 points lower than the minimum cut-off score for the last all-program draw on July 6, which was 557. In addition, Canada granted 250 extra invitations in this round than in the previous round of 1,500 invitations. Canada was the only country with three cities in the top 10, demonstrating that Canadians have a good level of life. As a result, Canada is frequently seen as a desirable destination for immigrants. For the first time since December 2020, Canada has invited Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) candidates on July 6,2022. Candidates from the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) were also included in today's Express Entry Draw. CEC applicants have been included in an Express Entry Draw for the first time since September 2021.  A total of 1,500 Express Entry applicants were invited to apply for permanent residency by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The cut-off score for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 557. Many reasons to believe, IRCC will continue all-program draws in the second half of this year. "Today, I am delighted to inform that Express Entry draws have officially commenced, and applications will be processed at our 6-month processing standard, I look forward to welcoming skilled workers who will are essential in addressing Canada’s labour shortages.” said Canada's Immigration Minister. The return of all-program draws is also major news for immigration aspirant candidates. The Express Entry is the primary way for Canada’s large international student and foreign worker population to gain permanent residence. This is your moment to climb the ladder and become a permanent resident of Canada. Immigration Minister said that IRCC plans to start all- program Express Entry draws on July 623/6/2022 Immigration Minister Sean Fraser stated at the Collision Conference in Toronto, that IRCC is "tentatively" planning to begin all-program draws on July 6. Although all-program draws might return in two weeks, the suspension of PNP draws may not be irrevocable. Prior to the pandemic, IRCC hosted PNP-only draws on occasion. The PNP is important to IRCC's assistance of economic development areas across Canada.
Overall, 520,000 or more people may be granted permanent residency, as well as study and work permits, during the course of this summer. This would be a significant amount in just three months and would signal a remarkable reversal after two challenging years in Canadian immigration. This is your chance to climb the ladder and become a permanent resident of Canada.
The Canadian government intends to make the most significant changes to Express Entry since the application management system was implemented in January 2015. According to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the minister would be allowed to construct groupings based on in-demand jobs and fulfil other policy objectives, such as admitting more francophone immigrants. This proposal would allow IRCC to deviate considerably from the existing approach for issuing ITAs for permanent residence. Since the implementation of the Express Entry application management system, IRCC has approved ITAs based on CRS score and Express Entry program eligibility. With pandemic travel restrictions mostly gone, Canada is set to welcome a huge number of permanent residences, international students, and temporary foreign employees in the coming months. This is your chance to get to the top of the pool and become a permanent resident of Canada. Applications' processing standards likely to return normal by the end of the year - Minister Fraser27/5/2022
Fraser also told the committee that IRCC plans to bring processing times to normal by the end of the calendar year for the number of business lines. "I think we'll be able to achieve it—on the majority of lines of business—potentially this calendar year," Fraser said, adding that "where we can't, we should be broadcasting those timelines." "I'm extremely pleased about new flexibilities we're going to pursue in the Express Entry system that will allow us to target employees to fill shortages in crucial industries as quickly as feasible under the present system," Fraser remarked before being cut off due to time constraints. Throughout the rest of the discussion, the minister did not elaborate. IRCC will reinstate Express Entry to all applicants in July. On May 26, IRCC invited 589 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residency. All of the invited candidates should have been nominated through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). This time, the cut-off (CRS) was 741. IRCC's attempts to reduce application wait times include adding more professionals to its 11,000-person staff and upgrading the immigration system. Already, efforts to modernize have helped IRCC make 156,000 permanent residency applications in the first quarter of 2022. If you want to migrate to Canada, now is the time to begin your application since the reduced processing time will allow you to obtain your PR visa swiftly. According to the most recent Canadian government data received on April 29, backlog of PR, TR, and citizenship applications has grown above 2.1 million. In just 18 days, the backlog of PR, TR, and citizenship applications at Immigration Canada swelled by over 99,000 persons. Since last summer, the backlog at (IRCC) has advanced upward every month. On July 6, 2021 the backlog was 1,447,474 persons which increased to 1,792,404 persons on October 27, 2021. On December 15, 2021 backlog increased to 1,813,144 persons. The backlog has aggregated to 2,130,385 persons on April 30, 2022. For a number of reasons, including social isolation and travel limitations imposed at the outset of the epidemic, IRCC has struggled to maintain its inventory during the pandemic.  Canada, IRCC will reopen Express Entry to all applicants in July, following a pause that began in December 2020. IRCC invited 545 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residence on May 11. All of the candidates who were invited should have already been nominated through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The cut-off (CRS) dropped this time to 753. Since mid-April, the IRCC has decreased its Express Entry backlog by 4,292 people. With the Express Entry backlog reduced, IRCC will be able to begin all-program drawings in early July. For those who have been preparing to relocate to Canada since December 2020, you can start your process now. Minister Fraser has stated that Canada would resume sending Express Entry invitations to immigrants from all across the world in early July 2022. This is significant since Express Entry is the primary method through which the Canadian government processes skilled worker applications. Between its inception in 1967 until a temporary halt in December 2020, the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) was Canada's primary immigration program for skilled immigrants. Another significant immigration program for skilled workers, the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), was also suspended in September 2021. These pauses were caused by the pandemic Covid -19, but they will soon be abolished in July 2022.  Due to the country's general elderly population and low birth rate, immigration is more crucial than ever. Canada's economy has been rapidly rebounding, and the country today boasts the lowest unemployment rate in its history. There are also approximately one million employment openings in Canada. Express Entry will be a significant means for Canada to attract global talent in order to expand its economy. Canada intends to accept over 110,000 Express Entry immigrants each year by the end of the program. Because skilled immigrants are important to the Canadian economy, Minister Fraser has stated that the government will process the majority of Express Entry applications within six months. Canada, IRCC after announcing that all-program draws will restart in July, invited 829 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residence on April 27. All of the candidates who were invited should have already been nominated through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The cut-off (CRS) dropped this time to 772. Immigration Minister also announcement the great majority of new Express Entry applications will be completed within six months of their submission. Finally, the wait is over for candidates who have been waiting since December 2020 to migrate to Canada. Beginning April 1, Canada is removing the COVID-19 test requirement for fully immunized travelers. The Canadian government has declared that the new regulations will apply to visitors entering at all ports of entry. Although pre-arrival testing will be eliminated, the government may still randomly test passengers upon arrival. The random testing will be used to detect and track COVID-19 variations. If fully vaccinated travelers are chosen for an on-arrival test, they will not be quarantined while awaiting the results.  The administration underlined the fact that other nations, including the United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, and Ireland, had already withdrawn their testing requirements. Travelers to Canada are currently required to submit a pre-arrival antigen test within 24 hours of airplane departure or arrival at the land border. Alternatively, within 72 hours of arriving in Canada, visitors can undergo a molecular test. The mandatory vaccination requirement for visitors to Canada remains in place. To accomplish its immigration objectives in the face of these travel limitations, the IRCC concentrated its immigration efforts on admitting as many candidates as possible who were already in Canada. Canada, IRCC invited 919 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residence on March 30. All of the candidates who were invited should have already been nominated through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The cut-off (CRS) rose this time to 785. In a recent interview, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser stated that the government intended to begin Express Entry applications for qualified workers in the spring. Fraser statement is good sign for candidates who are planning to move to Canada. This was an Express Entry PNP draw that took place on March 16, 2022 at 14:59:09 UTC.
