Nearly nine months after the federal government put a pause on citizenship tests due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has started offering prospective Canadian citizens the opportunity to take their tests online. On March 14, the federal government halted in-person Canadian citizenship tests, retests and ceremonies in response to the evolving COVID-19 situation, leaving thousands of newcomers in a state of limbo.
Due to the economic fallout of COVID-19, thousands of international graduates in Canada are unable to find work and meet the requirements of their post-graduate work permits (PGWPs), according to Migrant Students United. International graduates are eligible for time-restricted PGWPs that allow them to remain in Canada post-graduation and gain work experience here. If they complete a minimum of 12 to 24 months of work in certain skilled positions, they can then qualify for permanent residency.
Refugee advocates are criticizing Canada’s decision to resume deportations before the country irons out the details of a program to grant permanent residency to asylum-seekers who have been working in the health-care system during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deportations by the Canadian Border Services Agency, which were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, have resumed, but critics are saying that doing so is putting lives at risk. “Given the pandemic, we’re putting the health of these people at risk,” said immigration attorney Stephane Handfield. In a statement, the CBSA said it has a duty to apply the law. The federal government will continue to make exceptions for claimants from 14 countries where the safety or rejected applicants could be jeopardized if they’re sent home.
