Canada is all set to introduce a new citizenship path for immigrants that are currently living in Canada without any legal documents. As per estimation, somewhere between 3,00,000 to 6,00,00 people are currently living in Canada without valid documents. This puts them under the danger of being deported anytime soon. The immigration minister of Canada, Marc Miller has said that Canada will be introducing a comprehensive plan to help these people who are living in Canada but do not have the legal permit for the same.
This initiative aligns with Canada’s goal to welcome five lakh immigrants every year by 2025. Immigration has led to higher prosperity in Canada. This program will cover people who came to Canada without proper documents and also people who came to Canada with proper documents but now their visa has expired and they're still living in the country. This program will initially only be open to people who have just recently come to the country without documents or their work permit has recently expired. It will not cover all the illegal immigrants as of now.
