Canada to Slash 100,000 Spousal Work Permits Over Three Years | Firstpost America

Canada to Slash 100,000 Spousal Work Permits Over Three Years | Firstpost America Canada is introducing significant changes to its Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) program, set to reduce the number of permits by over 100,000 in the next three years. The new restrictions limit SOWPs to spouses of students in specific doctoral and master's programs, and only for courses lasting 16 months or longer. The changes are part of a broader effort to manage Canada's rising temporary resident population, which hit 2 million in 2023. These reforms also include tighter controls on study permits and work permits for spouses of skilled workers, reshaping immigration policies for international families and students. --- Canada | Spousal Open Work Permit | Immigration | Justin Trudeau | Firstpost America | Eric Ham | War | Geopolitics | Global Economy | Firstpost | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | Trending News #canada #canadaimmigration #justintrudeau #firstpostamerica #ericham #war #geopolitics #economy #firstpost #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
