An Overview

The year 2020 was pretty much wasted due to the coronavirus pandemic which continues to have a serious impact on the immigration system of Canada. It is not going to return to normal at least until the pandemic is over. The good news is that the end of the pandemic is in sight because now people are getting vaccinated all over the globe. Last year exposed all the possible dangers of making any predictions or planning for the future. Still, you can consider planning ahead as a student seeking to pursue a foreign degree or as a skilled worker. Moreover, if you are planning to move to Canada and need help regarding what you need, you must know that Quebec immigration lawyers are there to serve this purpose. In this article, you will understand what to expect in the world of Canadian immigration in 2021.

What Should You Expect After Covid-19 In Canadian Immigration?

1. Economic Recovery & Stronger Job Growth

The pandemic experienced unemployment levels skyrocketing from 5 per cent in February to 13.7 per cent in May 2020. By the end of the year, job growth had lowered the level down to 8.6 per cent. But, once the pandemic is over and as more and more people get vaccinated, there should be a notable improvement in the quality of job growth as well as economic revival. This is really important for Canada because its economy is significantly dependent on young foreign skilled workers to enhance economic productivity.

2. Churn In The Economy And Its Sectors

It is hoped that the pandemic may finally come under control by the end of this year but that does not mean that things will get back to exactly how they were. The governments of all the countries will focus most on healthcare, service industries, tech and other new-age sectors in order to be prepared for such emergencies in the future.

There is a huge scope for various innovation in sectors such as travel, hospitality, tourism and dining that have been hit really hard by the pandemic. An immigrant worker all set to back his/her bold ideas is likely to benefit from the churn.

At the same time, those who have been waiting for the status quo to return might find themselves unable to get back in the job market since employers may now require an entirely different set of skills from their employees.

3. Boost To Rural Immigration

Who would want to go to the office when work-from-home is working fine for them? And if going to the office is not mandatory, then who would want to live in crowded and expensive cities, particularly during the pandemic when social distancing is the most crucial aspect? It is true that not all jobs can be done from home but the growing popularity of work-from-home means that this year, as well as the upcoming years, will see more demand for rural immigration programs.

4. Canada Continues To Attract The US Immigrants

The new governing body in the US will face challenges to undo the damage done to its immigration system over the past 4 years. Why will skilled workers and bright students put their future at risk when an anti-immigrant government might return just in four years? Immigrants look for transparency, stability and predictability and Canada suffices in all these aspects. The flood of students and skilled workers from Vietnam, India and other developing nations is highly likely to resume once the pandemic is over.

5. No More Immigration & Travel Restrictions

Now that people all over the world are getting vaccinated, it means that we are likely to experience a comprehensive, quick and better rollback of all restrictions on international immigration and travel.

Bottom Line!

Even during the pandemic, Canada did not suspend its immigration procedure. This means that all skilled workers, students, family members and other people who received approval to enter can travel to the country. In every crisis, there is a hidden wonderful opportunity.
