October 12th, 2022 - Streamlining immigration medical examinations for eligible applicants
A temporary policy allows certain low risk, in Canada foreign nationals to use their expired IME medicals as part of their medicals. This is for new or pending applications for permanent residency made within Canada, who completed their medicals within last 5 years. Applicant can provide their unique medical identifier number from previous medical exam. Policy is until October 06 2024
October 07th, 2022 - Announcement for International Students by Immigration Minister Sean Fraser
Off campus work authorization to work more than 20 hours
International students who are studying full time at an institution who were originally permitted to work for 20 hours a week will now are able to work as many hours as they wish. This means they can work more than 20 hours a week for any employer. They cannot claim this work experience component for their express entry Canadian Experience Class. This policy is from November 15th, 2022 through December 31st, 2023 made by Immigration Minister Sean Fraser. It is the hope with more than 450,000 study permit approval, many students in Canada will contribute to the labor shortage
Study permit extension in Canada
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser has confirmed a new method that is going to be introduced resulting in having an auto approval of study permits in Canada for International students. Minister of Immigration commented that approval rates are already at 96% to 97%, therefore, this approval becoming automated will free up visa officers to work on other applications.
My opinion
In my opinion, if the Government had introduced the above policy with having privilidged given to International students to be able to claim points for 'work experience', while studying, working 30 hours a week for Canadian Experience Class, Express Entry, it would have attracted most International students to become available to fill in this labor shortage. The Government will benefit for tax because for example where International student may be working on 'cash basis', and now can work on 'pay stub basis, if 25% of total students in Canada which is 113,000 students work extra 10 hours a week. This will result in 1,130,000 hours a week, and with 52 pay periods 58,760,000 hours a year. The wage paid would be a $15.50 - $910,780,000 a year and if 10% tax component is taken into consideration, the Government can benefit with $91,078,000 a year due to this change made.

IS THERE A LEGAL OBLIGATION WHEN AN EMPLOYER BRINGS A FOREIGN WORKER TO CANADA TO WORK FOR THEIR BUSINESS?
Myth: As a Canadian employer when I bring in a foreign worker to work for me, I am legally bound to keep them for the full duration of the work permit and cannot let them go regardless of their performance
Fact: A Canadian employer is able to let anyone go in Canada with our without cause. If you have a foreign worker who came to exclusively work for you on a two year work permit, and has your business name on his work permit, you can still let him or her go. You will need to notify the ESDC - Employment Social Development Canada department about this change in employment condition of the foreign worker.

EVER THOUGHT OF WHY CANADA HAS SHORTAGE OF WORKERS THAT IS NEVER ENDING?
Myth: This shortage is temporary and in the future all businesses will have more people, less jobs and be able to select/recruit easy
Fact: Many countries around the world do not offer 'transferable skill culture'. This means that a 'cook' in India, Dubai, Sri-Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, etc. countries, most times remain as a 'cook', Meanwhile, a 'cook' in Canada is able to transfer his or her skills to work for a 'call center', make same or more per hour, or can work on 'amazon delivery' and make more per hour. Government of Canada has named this program as 'Temporary Foreign Worker Program', which means the workers will use their 'mobility rights' and move and live anywhere they wish to in Canada, work in any environment they like to test, and not be part of a difficult job if that they perceived to be.
Bring your foreign worker in Canada working with the public policies in place for your recruitment needs. The worker will receive a 'work permit' which will have the business/employer's name on it. This means the worker will work in Canada with the employer potentially for up to two years and can extend the work permit at the end of the two years. Or, the business can now bring new workers to Canada once again for two years by participating in the LMIA labour market impact assessment program and foreign worker recruitment program.
