Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) answered questions of post-graduate work permit (PGWP) holders in an online meeting.
Minister stated that there is a huge number of people who have completed their studies and have a PGWP.
Many of these foreign nationals feel insecure since their PGWPs are expiring, and they have not been able to apply for permanent residency (PR) yet.
The Minister explained that IRCC is looking for different options to make sure not to lose these candidates as the Government tries to keep these skilled candidates in Canada to tackle the labour shortages in the country.

On March 17, 2022, the Government of Canada launched the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) – a new temporary residence pathway for Ukrainian citizens and their family members.
Obtaining a CUAET, Ukrainian nationals will be able to stay in Canada for three years and have open work permits, which will enable them to find work as quickly as possible.
Their applications will be processed within two weeks.
However, Ukrainian citizens will have to meet all other public health requirements for travel and undergo background checks and security screening.
