Introduction
Canada is proposing changes to its immigration rules to allow asylum seekers to access work permits more quickly. This change may impact many immigrants who are waiting for a decision on their asylum claim.
Current Rules
Under current rules, asylum seekers must wait for a decision on their claim before they can apply for a work permit. This can take several months or even years.
Changes
The proposed changes will allow asylum seekers to apply for a work permit as soon as they submit their asylum claim. This can speed up the process of getting a work permit and allow immigrants to start working sooner.
