Public Policy Considerations

This public policy responds directly to pandemic-related challenges by creating a temporary pathway which accelerates the expected trajectory that many international graduates take to permanent residence.

The public policy targets foreign nationals who have been granted an eligible Canadian credential, and who are currently employed in Canada, to provide an influx of talent across the economic landscape. In so doing, the public policy recognizes the economic contribution of recent international graduates and acknowledges Canada’s ongoing need for the talent, skills, Canadian education and work experience of these skilled immigrants, which has been exacerbated during this exceptional time.
