Saskatchewan Holds First PNP Draw Of 2022 and Invited 104 Candidates

The New Year has begun with new energy and resolutions, but certain things will remain constant. Canada has faced strict lockdown, the uncertainty of the economy, and the Wuhan Virus pandemic. However, the only thing that remains constant is the frequent updates from Canada Immigration. During the pandemic, the Canadian government has not only focused to developed their provinces but also provided great support to the in-land applicants and Canada Study Visa aspirants.

• Last year in 2021 Canada immigration has organized the online study infrastructure for the students who were in the country but unable to visit their institutes and outland candidates who were unable to travel to Canada due to border closure.
• Whereas, for the in-land post-study work visa and temporary work visa holders Canada Express Entry has held 17 draws.
• Throughout the year under the category, almost 100,000 in-land Canadian experience class candidates have been invited.
• In the hierarchy of Canada, immigration has managed the outlanders’ entry by closing FSWP (Federal Skilled Category) draws and only allowing the Provincial Nominee Program candidates.

The New Year has started with the frequent Provincial Nominee Draws. British Columbia province has led from the front and declared three draws each week. On the other end, Ontario announced its back-to-back two draws. In continuation, Manitoba province has also announced its first draw of the year for in-land and outland applicants.
