On December 14, Canada will start accepting applications for permanent residence from the refugee claimants who have provided healthcare support for the Canadian citizens.
The immigration minister of Canada has announced the two new temporary immigration pathways for refugees. One of the programs is for the refugees in Quebec, and the second one is for the refugees in the other provinces of Canada. This immigration program will primarily target the orderlies, nurses, and service aides.
The applications will be open from December 14 to August 31, 2021. The applying candidates must meet the minimum eligibility criteria, which can be related to criminal records, security and health. The applicants can also include their family members who are in Canada.
The applicants must submit their applications to the IRCC Canada. The immigration department of Canada will make decisions on the applications.
Applicants for Quebec PNP
Quebec candidates should initially submit their applications to IRCC. When the department will discover that they meet the necessities, Quebec will at that point assume control over the application.
The Quebec office will approve whether the candidates meet the necessities for the refugee program. In the event, if the candidate has an effective application, they will get a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ).
Quebec has more migration powers than other Canadian territories and is permitted to set separate qualification standards for refugees.
To be chosen by Quebec, candidates must:
- Have applied for refuge before March 13 and have gotten a work license
- Have worked at least 750 hours in one of the qualified occupations before September 1, 2021
- Have worked at any rate 120 of those hours between March 13 and August 14, 2021
The Quebec program will likewise acknowledge applications from the companions and accomplices of refugee inquirers who were utilized in work qualified for the program between March 13 and August 14, 2020, and who have contracted or died from COVID-19.
This new regularization program for refugees who worked during the pandemic is the consequence of exchanges between the Canadian and Quebec governments.
