In this article published by CTV News, Director Rick Lamanna discusses Express Entry, a system providing a pathway to permanent residency for skilled workers in Canada, as the IRCC announced it has restarted the program's draws after temporarily shutting down during the global pandemic.
While this comes as positive news for those stuck in the considerable backlog of applicants seeking permanent residency in the country, the temporary shutdown of the system and elongated wait times have led to uncertainty for many.
“I think people have waited a long time so the resumption of these draws is welcomed—especially for Federal Skilled Workers and in particular, the Canadian Experience Class,” Rick says. “There are lots of people relying on immigration in Canada—inside and outside of Canada. We want people to have some certainty—regardless of whether they apply through paper or online. So, we'll see what the government wants to do or how it's going to go about trying to fix that,” he explained.
