New Permanent Economic Immigration Class:
The IRCC plans to amend the Immigration and Refugees Protection Act (IRPA) to create a new permanent economic immigration class for workers with experience at TEER levels 4 and 5. This move is part of the Forward Regulatory Plan for 2024-2026 and will be detailed in the Canada Gazette this autumn.

Understanding the TEER System:
Introduced in 2022, the TEER system categorizes jobs based on education and training requirements. TEERs 0-3 typically require post-secondary education, while TEERs 4 and 5 need only high school education or on-the-job training. Previously, TEERs 4 and 5 were ineligible for programs like Express Entry.

The proposed changes to Canadaโ€™s immigration policy are set to benefit semi-skilled workers, allowing them to secure permanent residency and fully participate in the Canadian economy. This initiative reflects Canadaโ€™s commitment to recognizing the contributions of all its workers, regardless of their skill level.
