Canada is now moving towards economic stability after the strain that the coronavirus has put on the global economy.
Several analysts believe that full economic recovery in Canada will be initiated with the support of new immigrants and international students. And they will play a critical role in the revival of the Canadian economy post-coronavirus.
Many jobs and occupations have been impacted by the pandemic. So, newcomers, recent graduates, and international students will help Canada in filling the vacancies in various occupations.
Canadian academic institutions have a vital role in training newcomers and Canadian students to develop skills and join the labor market.
Due to the unforeseen situations created by the pandemic, several countries made changes to their immigration levels with most of them restricting the distribution of immigration visas. However, Canada is one such country that regularly held several Express Entry draws and Provincial Nominee Program draws despite the travel restrictions.
The immigration minister of Canada affirms that the country needs immigrants for economic growth and Canadians also believe that newcomers will prepare for the process of economic revival.
Also, Canada has exempted students coming from abroad from travel restrictions if they are enrolled at a Designated Learning Institution. In addition, new students are allowed to apply for study permits and travel to Canada.
Thus, it can be safely said that Canada’s economy will benefit greatly by allowing international students and immigrants to come and study or work in the country. And they will be directly responsible for supporting economic revival in Canada once the pandemic is over.
