Moving and beginning a new life in another country can be quite overwhelming. Whether you are moving alone or with your family, it is likely to come with its fair of challenges. Canada is home to millions of immigrants, with the country receiving 200,000 to 300,000 people annually. Still, with COVID-19 many may find relocation challenging due to travel restrictions.
Immigration is central to the society and growth of the Canadian economy, thus receiving support from its government. It is still allowing migrants to come in despite the pandemic and doing its best to ensure a hassle-free immigration process.
Although the flow of immigrants may have reduced, the processing of applications is still ongoing. For those planning to move in 2021, seek help from an immigration consultant Edmonton Alberta to start your journey towards becoming permanent residents or citizens in Canada.
Impact of COVID-19 on Canadian Immigration
The economy of Canada is in a recession as a result of the worldwide corona pandemic. Reduced economic activity coupled with social distancing rules has resulted in a slowed-down economy with businesses being affected negatively. However, the government understands that to get the economy back up, it needs a large and skilled labor force that is largely supported by immigrants.
Canada aims to make the impact of the pandemic on their immigration system minimal. The straightforward process allows immigrants into the country in various categories such as skilled workers, temporary foreign workers, family class immigrants, international students, refugees, and visitors.
How to immigrate to Canada in 2021
In three years, Canada plans to open its doors to over one million immigrants. According to the Immigration Levels Plan, the country targets 400,000 immigrants per year from 2021 to 2023 as part of its immigration strategy. The invitations aim to bring in skilled workers through the Provincial Nominee Program, Express Entry, and Quebec immigration program.
Additionally, Canada also has programs for immigrants seeking to move due to their refugee or humanitarian situation. For better chances of sending in a successful application, seek to work with an immigration consultant Edmonton Alberta.
Some immigration classes that Canada is targeting in 2021, allowing foreigners to relocate to the country, are highlighted below.
Ultimately, 2021 is still a good year to move to Canada, especially with guidance from an immigration consultant Edmonton Alberta.
