It has become known how many new permanent residents of Canada will be able to obtain this status in the province of Quebec in 2025. On 31 October 2024, Jean-François Roberge, Minister of Immigration of Quebec, announced the Immigration Plan for the province for the next year. The province of Quebec does not have a provincial nomineeprogram, but is known for its special system for the integration of newcomers.

Permanent resident status in Canada may be granted to family members of the victims of the Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 crash. Minister Mark Miller announced this temporary measure on 28 October 2024. The program will run for one year and will end on 27 October 2025. Relatives both outside and inside Canada will be able to apply for permanent residency.

On Thursday, 24 October 2024, Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, announced dramatic changes to immigration policy for the coming years. The federal government is reducing the previously announced numbers for granting permanent resident (PR) status in Canada. The new plan is expected to result in only 395,000 new permanent residents in 2025.

Starting from 8 November 2024, the rules for obtaining an LMIA (work invitation) for temporary workers in Canada will change if they fall into the category of high-wage employees. These workers will now be required to receive a salary 20% higher than the average salary for their position. It is expected that the 34,000 workers already in Canada will see their salaries rise by 5-8 CAD/hour.

A work permit for IT professionals in Canada will be issued under a simplified procedure that does not require an LMIA. Under one of the International Mobility Program streams, 8 employers have the opportunity to invite employees on special terms. The companies operate in the most advanced areas of the IT sector, so there is a wide range of vacancies for various specialists.

Starting from 3 October 2024, an open work permit can be obtained under Canadian Business Immigration (Start-Up Visa). The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has allowed entrepreneurs to work at jobs other than their business to provide additional income. Previously, entrepreneurs were allowed to work exclusively on the development of their own business project, which was a requirement for moving to Canada.
