🔴 Canada pauses 36,000 PR applications under Ebola measures
Canada has temporarily paused the processing of about 36,000 permanent residence applications because of Ebola-related measures.

The pause affects foreign nationals living in:

▶ Democratic Republic of the Congo
▶ Uganda
▶ South Sudan

The measures started on May 27, 2026 and are expected to stay in place until August 28, 2026.

While the pause is active, affected PR applications will not be processed. Some people who already have valid PR visas or temporary resident documents may also be unable to travel to Canada unless they qualify for an exemption.

According to Canada Gazette figures, most of the affected PR applications are from Uganda. The total number of paused PR applications is 36,060:

▶ Uganda: 31,324
▶ Democratic Republic of the Congo: 4,037
▶ South Sudan: 699

Canada says exemptions may be possible in urgent protection cases or for humanitarian and compassionate reasons.

The immigration pause is separate from Canada’s quarantine rules for travellers who have recently been in one of the affected countries.

🔴 Manitoba closes student pathway to permanent residence
Manitoba has announced the immediate closure of the Career Employment Pathway (CEP) under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program’s International Education Stream.

This pathway previously allowed some graduates of Manitoba designated learning institutions to pursue provincial nomination after securing eligible employment in the province.

Going forward, former CEP candidates who want to settle in Manitoba will need to consider other permanent residence pathways.

For many Manitoba graduates, the main option may now be the Skilled Worker in Manitoba pathway, if they meet the requirements.

Under this pathway, candidates with at least six months of continuous, full-time work experience in Manitoba with the same employer may be considered for selection, provided they also meet the other eligibility criteria.

Manitoba says this change is intended to create clearer and more consistent criteria for Manitoba graduates, while better aligning education, work experience, and labour market needs.

Graduates who currently have an active Expression of Interest under the CEP are being advised to review the Skilled Worker in Manitoba pathway and update their profiles if they are eligible.

When updating their profiles, candidates should also make sure they declare all Manitoba connections, including completion of post-secondary education in the province.

The province has also confirmed that the Graduate Internship Pathway will remain available for eligible master’s and doctoral graduates who complete a Mitacs internship.

🔴 Breaking news:The Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) will reopen on July 2
The Government of Quebec has announced PEQ will reopen on July 2, 2026, and remain available for two years, until July 2, 2028.

🔸 Who Can Apply During the First Phase?
The first intake period will run from July 2 to October 31, 2026, and is intended exclusively for individuals who were eligible for the PEQ when it was closed on November 19, 2025, including:
▶ Applicants under the International Graduate Stream (PEQ Graduates).
▶ Applicants under the Foreign Worker Stream (PEQ Workers).

🔸 Program Conditions
▶ Eligibility requirements will remain the same as they were when the PEQ streams were suspended or closed in November 2025.
▶ The Quebec government intends to issue a roughly equal number of Quebec Selection Certificates (CSQs) through both streams.
▶ There will be no cap or limit on the number of applications submitted during the first phase.
▶ Applications will be accepted from 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on July 2, 2026, until October 31, 2026.

🔸 Impact on the PSTQ Program
Until October 31, 2026, Quebec will reduce the number of invitations issued through the Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ) and will primarily focus on:
▶ Individuals working in TEER 4 and TEER 5 occupations; and
▶ Candidates who have not yet accumulated two years of work experience.

🔸What Happens After November 2026?
After reviewing the volume of PEQ applications received during the first intake period, Quebec will adjust the number of invitations issued through the PSTQ and determine how future PEQ application periods will be managed, ensuring that CSQ issuance aligns with the province’s 2026–2029 immigration targets.

🔸 Future of the PEQ
▶ The reopening of the PEQ is a temporary measure.
▶ Quebec intends to permanently discontinue the PEQ in July 2028.
▶ After that date, all economic immigration selections for permanent residence will be processed exclusively through the PSTQ.

🔸 Key Takeaway for Applicants
If you were eligible for the PEQ on November 19, 2025, but were unable to submit an application because the program was suspended or closed, you will have an opportunity to apply between July 2 and October 31, 2026, with no limit on the number of applications accepted. This may represent the last major opportunity to obtain permanent residence through the PEQ before its planned elimination in 2028.

🔴 Canada Updates Immigration and Work Permit Processing Times
Canada has recently updated processing times for permanent residence and temporary foreign worker applications, showing improvements in several programs.

🔸 Permanent Residence Applications
▶ Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP): Wait times dropped from 38 months to 26 months, a reduction of 12 months—the largest improvement among PR streams.
▶ Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): Processing times decreased by 1 month: Express Entry (enhanced) applications from 7 to 6 months, and non-Express Entry (base) applications from 14 to 13 months.
▶ Quebec Business Class: Wait times reduced by 2 months.
▶ Family sponsorship: Most streams saw a slight increase of 1 month, for example, spouses living in Quebec now wait 32 months (up from 31), while parents and grandparents outside Quebec saw a slight decrease from 33 to 32 months.
▶ Express Entry applications such as Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Worker Program remain unchanged at 7 months.

🔸 Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)
▶ Permanent Resident stream: LMIA processing improved from 244 days to 140 days, a drop of 104 days.
▶ Global Talent Stream: Processing shortened from 12 to 8 days.
▶ Low-wage stream: Wait times increased from 48 to 58 days, while high-wage stream rose from 60 to 64 days.
▶ Agricultural Stream: Increased from 15 to 21 days, while the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program stayed at 10 days.

🔸 Implications
Faster processing for key economic immigration programs and certain work permit streams can help applicants and employers plan more efficiently. Some family sponsorship applications remain longer, but overall, Canada continues to streamline processing for priority programs.

🔴 Quebec invites over 2,500 candidates in latest PSTQ draw
Quebec invited 2,549 candidates to apply for permanent selection in a new draw held under the Skilled Worker Selection Program, known as the PSTQ.

The draw took place on June 4, 2026, and included candidates from all four PSTQ streams. Selections were made from the Arrima pool on June 1 at 6:00 a.m.

Most invitations went to candidates in Stream 1, which is for highly qualified and specialized workers. This stream received 1,094 invitations, representing about 43 percent of the total draw.

Quebec also issued 756 invitations under Stream 2 for intermediate and manual skills, 677 invitations under Stream 3 for regulated professions, and 22 invitations under Stream 4 for exceptional talent.

Candidates were selected based on factors such as their occupation, work experience, education, French language ability, Quebec residence, and whether they held a qualifying Quebec diploma. Several exercises also focused on priority occupations in sectors such as health care, education, early childhood services, engineering, construction, and skilled trades.

This was Quebec’s fifth PSTQ draw of 2026 and one of the largest selection rounds held under the program so far this year.

🔴 B.C. Introduces New Temporary Immigration Pathway for Rural Health Support Workers
British Columbia has introduced a new temporary immigration initiative for certain health support workers employed in rural and remote areas of the province.

The new Temporary Rural/Remote Health Support Initiative is part of the updated BC Provincial Nominee Program Skilled Immigration guide released on May 28, 2026. Registration will open on June 15, 2026, and close on August 31, 2026.

The initiative is designed for workers in three eligible occupations: security guards, light duty cleaners, and janitors, caretakers and heavy-duty cleaners. Applicants must be direct employees of one of B.C.’s public health authorities and must work in an eligible rural or remote location.

Workers employed by private contractors are not eligible, even if they work inside a hospital or health facility.

To qualify, applicants must have a full-time, regular and indeterminate job offer from an eligible health authority. They must also have worked full-time for at least nine consecutive months immediately before registering, in an eligible occupation and with the same employer.

The initiative does not include an Express Entry BC option, meaning successful applicants would proceed through the base BC PNP pathway.

The new initiative is narrow, temporary and time-limited, but it may create an important pathway to permanent residence for eligible health support workers already employed in rural and remote communities in British Columbia.

🔴 Quebec expands work permit access for spouses of PSTQ applicants
Spouses and common-law partners of some Quebec permanent selection applicants may now be eligible for an open work permit under a new temporary public policy.

The measure applies when the principal applicant has been invited through Quebec’s Skilled Worker Selection Program, known as PSTQ, and has submitted a permanent selection application, or DSP.

Under the policy, eligible spouses may still qualify even if they previously worked or studied without authorization, had certain temporary status issues, or do not normally meet the requirements to apply for a work permit from inside Canada.

The policy can also help spouses who are out of status, or who currently hold or previously held visitor or student status, if they apply to restore their status as workers within 90 days of losing temporary resident status.

To qualify, the principal applicant must have a valid, maintained, or recently expired employer-specific work permit for a Quebec employer, and must be applying to extend or restore their status.

The policy took effect on June 5, 2026, applies to new and pending applications, and is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026.

🔴 British Columbia invites over 350 skilled workers and entrepreneurs
British Columbia issued at least 357 invitations through the BCPNP on June 2, targeting skilled workers in priority occupations and entrepreneurs interested in starting or buying a business in the province.

Most invitations went to Skills Immigration candidates. A total of 342 workers were invited under B.C.’s 2026 priorities, mainly in health care, education, veterinary care, and construction trades.

The draw included 91 invitations for education occupations, 117 for health occupations, 6 for veterinary care, and 128 for construction trades. Minimum scores ranged from 92 to 111.

B.C. also invited entrepreneurs through the Base and Regional streams. At least 15 invitations were issued under the Base Stream, while fewer than 5 went through the Regional Stream. Both streams had a minimum score of 117.

So far in 2026, B.C. has issued 2,485 Skills Immigration invitations and at least 64 Entrepreneur Immigration invitations.

🔴 Ontario’s Permanent Residence Pathways: Proposed Changes
As of May 30, 2026, Ontario has revoked all its provincial pathways to permanent residence through the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). No official replacement streams have been launched. Applications submitted under the closed streams will still be assessed according to the rules in effect at the time of submission.

Proposed Replacement Streams (December 2025 consultation):
These streams are proposals only and have not yet been finalized by the province.

🔸 1-Employer Job Offer Stream

TEER 0-3 track: Targets skilled workers already in Canada.
Median wage requirement for the occupation (recent graduates may qualify at low-wage level).
Work experience: 6 months in Ontario with the same employer, 2 years in the past 5 years, or valid occupational license.
Education: No minimum of 6 months Ontario work experience; otherwise, post-secondary credential with ECA for foreign credentials.

TEER 4-5 track: For lower-skilled occupations.
Requires 9 months with the same employer and minimum language requirement.
Selection may focus on labour shortage occupations.

🔸 2-Priority Healthcare Stream
For regulated high-skilled healthcare professionals.
Requires valid professional registration; recent graduates completing registration may be eligible.

🔸 3-Entrepreneur Stream
Targets foreign nationals establishing or purchasing an Ontario business.
Replaces the previously closed Entrepreneur category.

🔸 4-Exceptional Talent Stream
Targets candidates in academia, innovation, science, technology, and creative sectors.
Assessment based on achievements such as publications, awards, innovations, or notable creative works.

🔸 Additional Proposed Flexibilities:
Construction trades pathway where union support could substitute for a full-time job offer.
Invitations by region, occupation, or other criteria to address urgent employer needs.

🔸 Status:
No official launch dates or final eligibility criteria have been confirmed.
Ontario could announce new streams without full regulatory amendments, potentially on shorter notice.
Stakeholders are advised to monitor the OINP program updates page for future announcements.
