 Hello everybody, this is Shereen Kapoor. Welcome back to my YouTube channel. I had to come back to my YouTube today and make a video on immigration plans that Sean Frazier, Minister Sean Frazier has recently announced maybe yesterday, as I'm sure it's all over the internet. You can go find the figures, numbers of how their data looks like, but I'm going to talk about what is the impact, what is what you can expect, and you know what is the long-term and short-term goals for the immigration department. So it's a very important first of all for you to understand that Canadian immigration is all dependent on Canadian economy, is all dependent on Canadian immigration, because a lot of the fiscal deficit is going to be covered by the immigrants. This is one thing that was sure by the economic minister as well, because immigrants obviously when immigrants come, they bring with them money, they bring with them opportunities for local people, and that is one of the major things in holistically you have to keep in mind. The second thing is that what they have announced when they when it comes to the immigration level plans, they have obviously increased the number from 411,11 lakhs, something to 432 lakhs. So obviously that means the level of immigrants have increased. However, the focus again like last year is going to be to make the local people here transition into permanent residency. So what do I mean by that when I say is that TR to PR is going to be something that they want to cover in this year plus next year. They want to also cover the PNPs, people who are already studying here, people who are already here. Of course, there is no news about Canadian experience class, which should have been and that is a disappointment which a lot of people are saying in immigration. It's a disappointment because people's post-graduation work permit are expiring and some work permits for a lot of LMI applicants are expiring. They are unable to renew because it's again LMI is dependent on the employer and hence it's kind of a tough time for those people. But however, when it comes to express entry, the government has promised that express entry draws are going to be there. It's not this year, but especially FSW, I'm talking about it's not this year, then probably next year and next to next year they're going to call in about 111 something applicants from that particular draw and this year also there is going to be a 50,000 to 60,000 applications that are going to be taken in from express entry. So let's be clear on the facts that now what is going to work. Of course, we can't cry and grip over the situation. Even when I talk to anybody in the immigration, they say it's an unprecedented situation. It is something that is not in our hands and hence we need to be very practical in the approach. We can't grip and cry over the situation. As immigration lawyers, you can understand that our work is also partially affected. But again, there are alternative ways of working around the programs which are temporary. So all these budgeting plans and all these immigration plans are coming out for permanent residents. How TR will be converted to PR or how people will come as economic immigrants. So but there are other programs which nobody talks about and which of course is again a temporary entry to Canada. So today I'm going to tell you about those temporary residence programs which are available to you and which you should keep in mind because their processing is happening, everything is taking place. Let's talk about temporary residence. According to the law, temporary residence can be of three types. It can be a visit visa. Of course, you're not going to come on visit unless you have a purpose. It can be a work permit and it can be a study visa. So a lot of our applicants are now trying to divert towards work permit and we encourage that practice because there are work permits which are easily available like the intra company work permit, like the self-employed work permit or the LMI approved work permits. So there are certain kind of things that are happening. Of course, starter visas again a permanent resident application that is again they are taking. So they have mentioned 1000 applications from economic federal business that is impliedly starter visa. So for a particular span of year. So you have to keep in mind that there are alternative options available and you should work around those alternative options. Now when it comes to processing delays in work permit or processing delays in any other temporary application also, it is also because IRCC was lacking staff, was lacking the kind of AI systems which they are now developing. They are hiring, they have, honestly, they have hired here 800 more officers and that is something that you need to see in a positive light. I understand time is not right. It is a situation which has never happened before with them also. But in the end, immigrants are the only people who can pull them up, be it via student visa because you bring in money and give it to the university and again it's money coming in the economy. Work permit, you are business entrepreneur and work permit, you come here, you hire people, you run your business because eventually also you have to run your show. So again, it is a beneficial program for them. The only thing we have to assess is you should be eligible to apply for the same. So if you are eligible and you need an assessment be it study visa or be it temporary residence or be it even permanent resident application under starter visa, you can let us know when we are there for you, we can help you, we can guide you. I myself believe in absolute honesty advisory. If I don't think a client is eligible for a program, I don't really recommend that. Even you must have heard that you are eligible from 110 places. But that is something I like to maintain because it's more about quality than about quantity for us. And so yeah, if there is any other questions put in the comment section and love to comment back and keep expecting such more videos. I'm going to make more videos related to especially about study visa, how refusals are happening, why refusals are happening and study visa is something that I want to now focus on. And if you guys are interested, do comment in the comment section. Thank you.
