After many years, Canada has decided to reduce its immigration target. Where this change will affect foreign citizens. Similarly, it is going to affect those people who are currently present in Canada. Be it Canadian citizens, permanent residents, international students or temporary workers, the new rules will affect everyone. In such a situation, let us know how the new rules are going to affect the Indian people living in Canada.
Easy to get PR for temporary resident
Through the new immigration plan, it will be easier to acquire permanent residency from temporary residency. This will benefit those Indian students and temporary workers who are already present in Canada and have integrated into the society there. Under the plan, more than 40 percent of new Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada in 2025 will be given to those who are already living in Canada. Especially those people who have Canadian education and work experience will get PR.
Strict rules for foreign students and temporary workers
Due to Canada’s new plan, it is going to be very difficult for foreign students including Indians to study in Canada and get a job here. The government is going to bring strict rules and eligibility criteria. The number of study permits foreign students can receive has been limited, making the admissions process even more competitive. It will be difficult for students to obtain work permits. It is going to be even more difficult for Indians going to Canada to get jobs there.
falling house prices
The new immigration plan will reduce the number of foreigners, which is expected to ease the current pressure on housing and infrastructure. The housing market will stabilize, making it easier and cheaper for Indians living in Canada to buy or rent a home. The pressure on public transport, schools and healthcare will also be reduced, due to which Indians living in Canada will be able to get better quality services. Less number of foreigners will provide a favorable environment for living.
Competition will increase in the job market
Canada’s immigration plan focuses on meeting the demand of the labor market. The focus has been on healthcare and skill trades. Because of this, competition is going to increase in the job market, which will harm Indians working in Canada and students looking for jobs after studying there. However, there is also an advantage that people will get more salary and will have better job opportunities. At the same time, the unemployment rate is also going to reduce.
