From restricting temporary residents to imposing stricter measures on international students and work permit holders, the federal government has introduced numerous changes. The main reason? Canada is overwhelmed by the number of residents. To improve current conditions, the government is reducing immigration quotas and significantly cutting the number of temporary residents. Despite resistance, these measures are being resolutely enforced.<\/span><\/p>\n&nbsp;\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5959 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cicvisa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640-6-1000x563.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"790\" height=\"445\" title=\"\">\n\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"article-editor-content__paragraph\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Not only has immigration become more difficult, but even traveling to and working in Canada is now a challenge. While studying in Canada to obtain a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and eventually working and immigrating remains an option, this pathway takes a long time, comes with numerous restrictions, and involves considerable hidden costs.<\/span><\/p>\n&nbsp;\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5960 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cicvisa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/640-3-1000x667.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"789\" height=\"526\" title=\"\">\n\n&nbsp;\n<p class=\"article-editor-content__paragraph\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">For those who want to come to Canada and work directly, the best option previously was through the\u00a0<strong>Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)<\/strong>\u00a0process, which allows individuals to work for a designated employer. However, recent federal updates suggest that LMIA may soon be abolished, making this pathway less reliable.
