Top Canada Immigration Options in 2023

Even as thousands of hopeful immigrants wait for the next Canada Express Entry Draw, the country hopes to welcome 465,000 new Canada PR Visa holders in 2023. This is done in order to solve the severe shortage of skills in the job market.

The conclusion is that right now is the ideal time to start your Canadian immigration procedure. The best relocation alternatives for 2023 are briefly listed here:

Express Entry System

The Express Entry System will continue to be the major immigration route to Canada in 2023. This is the main application management system for three economic immigration programs:

Federal Skilled Worker Program

Canadian Experience Class 

Federal Skilled Trades Program

In 2023, Canada intends to accept about 83,000 immigrants under the Federal High Skilled category. According to the revised Plan for Immigration Levels, the target for 2024 is 109,000, and for 2025, it is 114,000.

Under the Express Entry System, 16 new vocations are now eligible for the Federal Skilled Worker Program. This is after the National Occupational Classification for 2021, the most recent NOC, was put into effect.

The Express Entry System currently recognizes a number of new professions as qualified. These range from teachers' assistants to truck drivers, and from nurses to payroll administrators. The debut of Express Entry's targeted drawings will take place in 2023 as well.

The Canadian Parliament adopted the legislative foundation for holding such drawings in 2022. The goal is to make it possible to address certain economic labor shortages.

Provincial Nominee Program

The combined Provincial Nominee Programs, or PNPs, are the only economic immigration route that will exceed Express Entry in 2023. The PNPs are expected to admit more than 105,000 new Canadians on PR visas in 2023.

Through these PNPs, Canada will get thousands of immigration allocations in 2023. These comprise the westernmost, in British Columbia, prairie provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. It also comprises the four Atlantic Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador.

The Express Entry System is also connected to several PNP streams. It means that there is a specific stream for each PNP in the Federal Government's selection process. The targeted occupation lists and classifications need to be verified because the federal and provincial priorities might change.

Programs in Pilot Employer-Driven

Canada also manages a number of employer-driven pilot projects. These specifically target regions or sectors of the economy where there is a severe labor shortage.

At the heart of such initiatives is the Atlantic Immigration program. AIP began as an experimental initiative but has now been declared permanent. In 2023, 8,500 spots in the program will be reserved for graduates and qualified professionals from other countries. It encompasses the four provinces of Atlantic Canada: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, and Prince Edward Island.

Another 8,500 fresh PR Visa holders are to be accepted under 3 more categories:

The Agri-Food Pilot

The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot 

The Economic Mobility Pathways Project

Since the aforementioned programs are employer-driven, applications cannot be made directly for any of them. An employer first determines a need, after which they choose an immigrant to meet it. The immigrant is then brought to Canada through any of the aforementioned programs.

Additionally, a 2023 completion date has been set for the new Municipal Nominee Program. As its name suggests, the MNP will oversee the greater localization of the immigration selection process. It will make it easier for various communities to react to the various demands of the job market.

Start-Up Visa Initiative

Canada intends to welcome 3,500 new immigrants under its business immigration programs in 2023. By 2025, there will be an increase of 6,000 people. The Start-up Visa Program will accept a sizable proportion of them.

Those applying must get the support of an angel investor group, venture capital fund, or business incubator in order to be considered. They must also be able to speak the language and have the money to relocate.

Candidates initially immigrate to Canada on a Work Permit while starting a firm, then meet the requirements for PR status. They must be actively involved in the management of the Canadian firm to be eligible.

Programs for self-employment

The Federal Government's Self-Employed Class Program seeks applicants with relevant self-employment experience. Additionally, they must be able to and want to create their own job and make a major contribution to Canada's sporting, artistic, or cultural life.

The Quebec Self-Employed Class Program seeks applicants who can establish their own employment through professional or commercial endeavors. Also, Read About the Canada CRS Calculator to check your eligibility to move to Canada.

Summer 2024

Case Study: being my own representation

The last two weeks of July I was at my yearly visit to a summer camp/school. I love being here. Obviously, since it’s now my ninth year in a row. And this year marked the first where we’re more than one transgender person both weeks of the camp (two transmasculine people the first week and one transmasc and one transfemme in week two)!

I remember one morning where the transman teacher told us about his transition. I felt so seen that I cried. After the presentation I went to hug him, thanking him with tears running down my cheeks. While this place has been my safe space for years, this was the first time I had been able to mirror my transgender experience so clearly within these walls.

However, being the minority in a tight knit community (if only for a few weeks) also meant that I got the spotlight on me a lot more than I’m used to. While passing outside of the summer camp, I’d been open about my transgender identity from day one at camp, which in turn invited people to ask all their curious questions.

I got quite a handful of the old classics:  What was my name before? How far did I want to go with my transition? Which way am I trans?

However, I also ended up having to be an advocate in other ways, I didn’t particularly sign up for: I had to explain to people why we’re still trans even if there are parts of us that doesn’t fit into the norm (the other transman being short for instance), reminding people not to misgender the teachers (the two other transgender people were teachers) and also explain how me dressing feminine has nothing to do with my identity since gender expression and gender identity are separate.

The third way I was being an advocate by just existing was something I only realized when I said goodbye to this one lady and she cried while thanking me: meeting me six days prior she admitted having dreaded being on the same course as me due to internal prejudice yet after getting to know me, she now had experienced that we – transgender people – are just as much human as anybody else.

Honestly, I feel awkward being somebody’s example of how a transperson are “human”, yet if the fact that I am present and open with people like this a few days make it so there are less bigoted people in the world I guess I’m okay with it.
