					<description><![CDATA[For many international students in Canada the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) is their perceived route to Canadian permanent residence (PR). The PGWP was first introduced in 2005 and allows graduates from eligible Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) the opportunity to obtain an open work permit, and to gain Canadian work experience. Historically, international students have obtained PGWPs to gain Canadian work experience and then transition from temporary status to PR.

					<description><![CDATA[As Canada’s population continues to grow, evolve and age, the demand for skilled home care workers has never been higher. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), has demonstrated through their programs over the years that caregivers play an essential role in Canada to support vulnerable populations, including children, seniors and individuals with disabilities. Home care workers also enable families to continue working while ensuring that their loved ones are well cared for.
