Canada has given such power to its immigration officers, which has worried Indian immigrants. In fact, the Canadian government has made its immigration rules stricter than before.

Under this change, border and immigration officials have been given the right to cancel temporary residence documents in Canada such as study and work permits. These changes have come into effect from January 31. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada i.e. IRCC has called it an improvement in the immigration system.

Unlimited powers to officials

Changes in immigration rules give Canadian authorities the power to cancel a person’s temporary residence visa if they believe that the person is providing false information or has a criminal record.

This change will affect all foreign nationals who have gone to Canada for studies, work or temporary residence. The rules also mention that even if someone acquires permanent residence or dies, the authorities will still have the right to cancel the permit.

Thousands of Indians go to Canada

Apart from America, Canada is also one of the favorite countries of Indians. According to a statistic, currently around 4.27 lakh Indian students study in Canada. The number of Indian tourists visiting Canada is also in lakhs. Only between January and July 2024, visitor visas were issued to 3.65 lakh Indians.
A study visa or work permit can also be revoked if the border officer suspects that a person will not leave Canada after the expiry of his stay. Obviously the new rules will have a profound impact on students and workers traveling from India to Canada.

Why was this change needed?

Canada has amended the rules at a time when the number of applications for study permits has increased rapidly. In fact, Canada is trying to ensure that temporary residents strictly follow the conditions of the visa. The authorities had the power to reject applications earlier as well, but these were very limited.

IRCC has said that this change is necessary to protect Canada’s border and to change the country’s immigration system. Canada claims that this will help prevent misuse of study permits.

New Zealand New Visa Rules: After Australia and Canada tightened visa rules to curb the number of immigrants, New Zealand has also increased the qualification requirements for foreigners to get jobs in the country. This move is likely to affect Indians looking for employment in New Zealand.

With the new visa guidelines, the New Zealand government aims to control the influx of migrants deemed ‘unsuitable’ for entry into the country.

The new guidelines include English language proficiency, work experience and skills criteria. It also reduces the period of stay on a work visa from 5 years to 3 years.

New Zealand’s Immigration Minister Erica Stanford on Sunday announced amendments to the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV).

Introduced in 2022 to ease workforce shortages due to the pandemic and lockdown, the AEWV serves as the main temporary work visa. Stanford said visa restrictions would be beneficial for migrant rights.

The new rules could essentially make it harder for Indians and other immigrants from countries outside the Anglosphere to come and work in New Zealand.

What do the figures say?
According to data from ENZ.org (affiliated with the New Zealand government), around 18,000 Indians have migrated to the country since 2011. The 2018 NZ Census revealed that Indians constitute about 4.7 percent of New Zealand’s total population.

In October 2023, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that there are approximately 250,000 persons of Indian origin and NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) in New Zealand, the majority of whom are permanently settled there.

The statement said a record 173,000 people moved to New Zealand last year, which has a population of about 5.1 million.
