On December 19, 2025, the Canadian government announced an immediate pause on the application intake for the Home Care Worker Immigration pilots. This decision is part of the 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan, which aims to stabilize immigration at sustainable levels while addressing specific labor gaps. The pause was triggered because the high volume of applications has consistently exceeded available spaces, resulting in significant processing backlogs and longer wait times for applicants. By suspending new intake, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) intends to focus its resources on prioritizing the processing of existing applications already in the system. Consequently, the pilot programs will not re-open as previously expected in March 2026. IRCC will continue to process currently submitted applications according to the levels plan and will provide public updates regarding any future changes to the program.

On November 27, 2025, the Government of Canada launched a pilot project to test digital visas as part of a broader effort to modernize immigration services and improve service delivery. For this initial phase, a small group of Moroccan citizens who have been approved for visitor visas may be invited to participate, receiving a digital version of their visa alongside the traditional physical passport counterfoil. The pilot is designed to gather feedback and test the digital visa’s compatibility with third parties, such as airlines, while ensuring the documents are safe, secure, and user-friendly. Digital visas aim to make travel to Canada faster and more convenient by reducing the need for applicants to mail or submit their physical passports for processing. Furthermore, they are intended to improve security and verification processes while lowering the administrative costs associated with printing and mailing documents. IRCC is working closely with other federal departments to ensure these digital travel documents meet both Canadian and international privacy and security standards. The findings from this Moroccan pilot will ultimately shape how Canada delivers digital immigration documents in the future.

Canada has revised the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility criteria for international students enrolled in non-degree programs. These students must now complete their studies in fields identified as experiencing long-term labor shortages in Canada, aligning with the 2025 Express Entry priorities. This strategic update has led to the addition of 119 new eligible fields, particularly in high-demand sectors such as healthcare, social services, education, and trades. Concurrently, 178 fields of study no longer linked to these critical labor market needs have been removed from the list, resulting in a total of 920 eligible fields for PGWP.
Crucially, this new requirement applies to international students who applied for a study permit on or after November 1, 2024. However, students who submitted their study permit application before June 25, 2025, are "grandfathered" in, meaning their PGWP eligibility will still be assessed based on the list of eligible fields that was active at the time of their study permit application, even if their specific field has since been removed. This measure aims to better align the international student program with Canada's economic needs and ensure that graduates are equipped for in-demand occupations.

The Strong Borders Act, announced by the Canadian government on June 17, 2025, aims to bolster border security and enhance the integrity of Canada's immigration and asylum systems. This legislation empowers the government to manage immigration documents more dynamically in the public interest, improve the sharing of immigration information within Canada to streamline services and enforce laws, and significantly reform the asylum process to make it faster and more efficient. Additionally, the Act introduces new ineligibility criteria for certain asylum claims, particularly for those made long after initial arrival or by individuals entering Canada irregularly from the U.S. land border, though affected individuals would still have access to a Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) to ensure protection against return to unsafe conditions.

On June 12, 2025, the OINP announced the launch of a new Employer Portal set for July 2, 2025. This digital platform will replace the current paper-based Application for Approval of an Employment Position, transitioning the Employer Job Offer streams from an applicant-led to an employer-led process. To facilitate this change, there will be temporary system downtimes. From June 20 to July 2, 2025, new Expressions of Interest (EOI) for Employer Job Offer streams cannot be created. Existing EOIs under these streams will be automatically withdrawn on June 21 and 22. Additionally, the entire OINP system will be unavailable from June 27 to June 29, 2025. Once the Employer Portal opens on July 2, employers can register and provide employment position details, allowing applicants to re-register their EOIs. For more details, you can visit the official Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program Updates page: 2025 Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program Updates.

On June 6, 2025, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) issued an additional 72 targeted invitations to apply under its Employer Job Offer streams—specifically the Foreign Worker, International Student, and In-Demand Skills streams. These invitations were directed at candidates in the Expression of Interest (EOI) pool who have job offers in the Greater Sudbury/Grand Sudbury area, currently reside in Canada, and hold at least a Bachelor’s degree. The additional invitations were issued to correct a previous system error.
Applicants who received an invitation on June 6 must submit their complete application by June 20, 2025. No extensions will be granted due to system upgrades. It's important to note that, as of April 10, 2024, all applications must include the updated Application for Approval of Employment Position (Employer Form). Submitting an outdated form will result in the application being returned as incomplete, and the fee refunded. Invited candidates should log into the OINP e-Filing Portal, use the new application file number (starting with JOXX), and ensure all documentation meets current requirements. Those who received an invitation do not need to contact the program.

Canada's proposed Bill C-2, or the "Strong Borders Act," aims to strengthen and streamline immigration and asylum systems amidst growing migration pressures, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). However, human rights groups like Amnesty International Canada call some measures "an attack" on refugees' right to seek asylum.
Key proposed changes include making it "virtually impossible" for the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) to review claims from most people entering via the U.S., and preventing claims from those in Canada for over a year after June 24, 2020. Critics argue these changes would deny asylum seekers the right to an IRB hearing, forcing them into a pre-removal risk assessment system without appeal rights. The bill also grants cabinet new powers to cancel or suspend immigration documents and pause application processing during "emergencies".

A National Post "FIRST READING" report indicates that Canada's record-high immigration levels are worsening the nation's economic problems. Specifically, high immigration is significantly impacting productivity and housing affordability, areas where Canada already performs poorly globally. Experts note that a rapidly expanding population is increasing housing demand, outstripping construction, and contributing to rising home prices and affordability concerns. This unprecedented growth is putting considerable strain on public services and infrastructure, as productivity struggles to keep pace with the influx of newcomers.
