🇨🇦 New Immigration Minister, Rachel Bendayan: What to Expect

👩‍⚖️ Who is Rachel Bendayan?
Rachel Bendayan is Canada’s new Immigration Minister, replacing Marc Miller. With a background in law and international trade, she brings experience and structure to the role.

📘 Focus on Policy and Stability
Bendayan is expected to continue Canada’s current immigration direction. She may emphasise French-speaking immigration, refine PR pathways, and ensure a more structured, legal approach to immigration rules.

🎓 What About International Students?
International students face ongoing scrutiny. Study permit limits and tighter work rules may stay in place. Bendayan may introduce further regulations to support housing and job availability.

💼 PR and Work Permit Changes
Those already in Canada—like temporary workers and students—might have an easier path to permanent residency. But expect stricter rules for new foreign workers entering the country.

🔮 What’s Next?
Major changes are unlikely before the next election. But Bendayan’s appointment signals a focus on careful planning and steady leadership.
