 Every year, over 400,000 new permanent residents arrive in Canada, with around 90,000 of them being Indian nationals. Because of their English language fluency, professional job experience, and high levels of education, Indians are Canada's top supplier of global talent. In the year 2020, despite the fact that the number of applicants invited from India fell to 10%, down from 18% in the previous year, there were still more candidates invited from India than from any other foreign country. India was also the most prevalent citizenship nation among individuals who acquired ITAs, followed by China, Nigeria, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom. Canada, IRCC invited 746 Express Entry applicants to apply for permanent residence on December 22. 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 720. IRCC invited record breaking 1032 applicants with scores of at least 698 in the previous draw. While announcing that the Atlantic Immigration Pilot will become a permanent program in 2022, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser stated that Canada would return to admitting immigrants from both within and outside the country.

Expansion in immigration pathways should be the key priority to alleviate labour shortage in Canada.17/12/2021 The pandemic has aggravated Canada's long-standing labour shortages, and there is no easy remedy. In this context Trudeau unveils Canada's new immigration system priorities. According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), labour shortages affect more than half of small Canadian organizations. These organizations may have been understaffed as a result of challenges in finding, retaining, or getting employees to work the required hours. As a result of these labour shortages, over one-third of firms reported cancelling or delaying projects, as well as rejecting down contracts and sales, in June. Additionally, the firms that report they have enough employees, but at a major additional expense owing to salary hikes, flexible hours, or recruiting bonuses, among other things. According to the CFIB, raising wages is not the solution because higher wages imply higher labour costs, which drive up prices and create inflationary pressure.  Finally, in order to overcome its labour shortages, Canada must tap into as many talent sources as possible, both in the short and long term. Canada now has over 1 million job openings and will continue to have labour market shortages as the country's 9 million baby boomers reach retirement age during the next decade. Since the 1990s, Canada's working-age population has been dropping, and future predictions predict that trend will continue. If nothing changes, Canada will have lost a huge portion of its working-age population by 2050. Addressing labour shortages will need a series of activities over a longer period of time. Improving in automation processes and enhancing the TFWP, may be done in the near run. The more focus must be on the long run labour shortages. This means that governments and businesses must do a better job of determining ways to link under-represented employment groups, newcomers in general, Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, disenfranchised youth, and others, with relevant work opportunities. Governments have a role to play in alleviating labour shortages, solutions mostly lie with businesses improving salaries and training. But one solution is to expand immigration pathways for skilles workers either temporary or permanent – outside of Canada. Immigration programs can help businesses to overcome the labour shortages. Immigration programs aims to bring more employees into Canada more quickly while also ensuring a suitable fit between immigrants and the roles they fill. A better Immigration Program would be more accessible to a larger range of talents and industries, and would provide additional avenues to permanent residency. Canadian government should focus on increasing the number of pathways available to international worker, international students and temporary foreign workers via Express Entry. As evident Canada has a big shortage of nurses across the country. In this context NDP leader Mr. Jagdeep Singh and MP Jenny Kwan and some nurses trained overseas held a video conference to call on the Immigration Minister to speed up the processing of immigration applications filed by international trained nurses whose professional credentials have been accredited in Canada. Jenny Kwan said that shortage and overworking of nurses can cause harm to patient, delay surgeries and increased wait times. So, the liberal govt must increase resources to address the issue and grant permanent residency to qualified nurses.  Canada, Most of the ITAs has been issued by IRCC to PNP candidates this year.
