Central Region: Canadian Immigration Outlook

Fragomen Partner, Jack Kim will be speaking at the Central Region: Canadian Immigration Outlook event on Thursday, November 7, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm ET. This educational and networking event will address the changes across various immigration programs that the Canadian federal government is looking to implement. These changes are in response to a historic surge of temporary foreign workers in Canada that has fuelled unemployment amongst immigrants and youth, international students putting a burden on social services and the housing supply and a spike in low wage workers. This discussion will provide an overview of proposed measures and insights on how to navigate proposed changes from a strategic perspective.

Topics that will be covered include:

• Overview of upcoming changes to different streams used by organizations to access talent (International Mobility Program (IMP), the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), Study Permits for international students, and Post Graduation work permits)
• Overview of proposed changes to spouses of international students and spouses of foreign workers under the IMP and TFWP)
• Overview of proposed changes to the Permanent Residence Program
• How your organization can better navigate upcoming changes and reforms
• How your organization can plan for the future

We will also touch on the upcoming US elections and the influence that new leadership may have on U.S. immigration.
