Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #26

July 5-12 2024

The IRS announced it had managed to collect $1 billion in back taxes from high-wealth tax cheats. The program focused on persons with more than $1 million in yearly income who owned more than $250,000 in unpaid taxes. Thanks to money in Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act the IRS is able to undertake more enforcement against rich tax cheats after years of Republicans cutting the agency's budget, which they hope to do again if they win power again.

The Biden administration announced a $244 million dollar investment in the federal government’s registered apprenticeship program. This marks the largest investment in the program's history with grants going out to 52 programs in 32 states. The President is focused on getting well paying blue collar opportunities to people and more people are taking part in the apprenticeship program than ever before. Republican pledge to cut it, even as employers struggle to find qualified workers.

The Department of Transportation announced the largest single project in the department's history, $11 billion dollars in grants for the The Hudson River Tunnel. Part of the $66 billion the Biden Administration has invested in our rail system the tunnel, the most complex Infrastructure project in the nation would link New York and New Jersey by rail under the Hudson. Once finished it's believed it'll impact 20% of the American economy by improving and speeding connection throughout the Northeast.

The Department of Energy announced $1.7 billion to save auto worker's jobs and convert factories to electronic vehicles. The Biden administration will used the money to save or reopen factories in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, and Virginia and retool them to make electric cars. The project will save 15,000 skilled union worker jobs, and created 2,900 new high-quality jobs.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development reached a settlement with The Appraisal Foundation over racial discrimination. TAF is the organization responsible for setting standards and qualifications for real estate appraisers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics last year found that TAF was 94.7% White and 0.6% Black, making it the least racially diverse of the 800 occupations surveyed. Black and Latino home owners are far more likely to have their houses under valued than whites. Under the settlement with HUD TAF will have to take serious steps to increase diversity and remove structural barriers to diversity.

The Department of Justice disrupted an effort by the Russian government to influence public opinion through AI bots. The DoJ shut down nearly 1,000 twitter accounts that were linked to a Russian Bot farm. The bots used AI technology to not only generate tweets but also AI image faces for profile pictures. The effort seemed focused on boosting support for Russia's war against Ukraine and spread negative stories/impressions about Ukraine.

The Department of Transportation announces $1.5 billion to help local authorities buy made in America buses. 80% of the funding will go toward zero or low-emission technology, a part of the President's goal of reaching zero emissions by 2050. This is part of the $5 billion the DOT has spent over the last 3 years replacing aging buses with new cleaner technology.

President Biden with Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau and Finnish President Alexander Stubb signed a new agreement on the arctic. The new trilateral agreement between the 3 NATO partners, known as the ICE Pact, will boost production of ice breaking ships, the 3 plan to build as many as 90 between them in the coming years. The alliance hopes to be a counter weight to China's current dominance in the ice breaker market and help western allies respond to Russia's aggressive push into the arctic waters.

The Department of Transportation announced $1.1 billion for greater rail safety. The program seeks to, where ever possible, eliminate rail crossings, thus removing the dangers and inconvenience to communities divided by rail lines. It will also help update and improve safety measures at rail crossings.

The Department of the Interior announced $120 million to help tribal communities prepare for climate disasters. This funding is part of half a billion dollars the Biden administration has spent to help tribes build climate resilience, which itself is part of a $50 billion dollar effort to build climate resilience across the nation. This funding will help support drought measures, wildland fire mitigation, community-driven relocation, managed retreat, protect-in-place efforts, and ocean and coastal management.

The USDA announced $100 million in additional funds to help feed low income kids over the summer. Known as "SUN Bucks" or "Summer EBT" the new Biden program grants the families of kids who qualify for free meals at school $120 dollars pre-child for groceries. This comes on top of the traditional SUN Meals program which offers school meals to qualifying children over the summer, as well as the new under President Biden SUN Meals To-Go program which is now offering delivery of meals to low-income children in rural areas. This grant is meant to help local governments build up the Infrastructure to support and distribute SUN Bucks. If fully implemented SUN Bucks could help 30 million kids, but many Republican governors have refused the funding.

USAID announced its giving $100 million to the UN World Food Program to deliver urgently needed food assistance in Gaza. This will bring the total humanitarian aid given by the US to the Palestinian people since the war started in October 2023 to $774 million, the single largest donor nation. President Biden at his press conference last night said that Israel and Hamas have agreed in principle to a ceasefire deal that will end the war and release the hostages. US negotiators are working to close the final gaps between the two sides and end the war.

The Senate confirmed Nancy Maldonado to serve as a Judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Maldonado is the 202nd federal Judge appointed by President Biden to be confirmed. She will the first Latino judge to ever serve on the 7th Circuit which covers Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.

Bonus: At the NATO summit in Washington DC President Biden joined 32 allies in the Ukraine compact. Allies from Japan to Iceland confirmed their support for Ukraine and deepening their commitments to building Ukraine's forces and keeping a free and Democratic Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. World leaders such as British Prime Minster Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, praised President Biden's experience and leadership during the NATO summit

the hell is going on with these folks (and the cat accusation is downright insane): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvZTr3F_YZI

This is purposefully targeted hate speech and propaganda, and it is not new to the US political field. This is part of the racist Great Replacement conspiracy theory, and the same statements have historically been said about folks immigrating for Asian countries, from the Middle East, and even folks coming from Central and South America. I hope it's no longer a common thing said, but there were racist 'jokes' when I was young that if you went to a Chinese restaurant, you were getting cat for dinner.

These are tactics attempting to demonize an extremely vulnerable and marginalized community in the same manner that Jews and other 'undesirable' groups were demonized at the end of the Weimar Republic as the Third Reich rose in Germany. This is a tool of a political party that is trying to seize power by fearmongering, which requires a scapegoat to be successful. Recently arrived Haitians are that scapegoat, and it's dangerous.

That video is really sad, and it's a masterclass in how racism is both a class issue and is used as a tool to divide. The statements about how recently arrived folks supposedly get so much money for the government, but we can't...this is manipulating working class, blue collar workers, and folks living at or under the poverty line, and it is exactly the tactics used in the building of race and racism that the United States was founded on. Instead of white folks who fall into working class, blue collar, or poverty categories realizing that the government is the problem in that basic needs of every day persons are absolutely ignored under our so-called democracy, they are being told that it is the people who are leaving a literal war zone to try and stay alive who are the problem. At base, racism is capitalist divide-and-conquer; if working class/blue collar/poverty level white folks united with Black folks, immigrants, and those seeking asylum, this country would be on it's knees...but instead, capitalism has manipulated vulnerable citizens to believe that outsiders are the problem with claims that are absolutely out of hand

Some of this is lack of education and critical thinking skills; basic research can show people that what people claim as fact is not at all true. People who are arriving from the border or arriving via the Biden parole program are in the United States legally but honestly...who fucking cares? It is a factual inaccuracy to believe that individuals who are not citizens and/or have not passed the 5 year mark if they are legal permanent residents have access to federal benefits earmarked for citizens or folks with sufficient residency. They do not qualify for SNAP, most Medicaid, social security, federal financial aid, and on and on. When they work, they pay taxes but they do not reap the benefits--there are no tax refunds and they do not benefit from social security, which means even if they work for 30 years in the US on a work permit, they can never access social security retirement benefits.

The rest is political strategy, wag-the-dog style. This bluster distracts from the fact that the Republican candidate is a fucking lunatic who cannot string together a single coherent thought and who is able to be provoked to anger with a single side eye. This is a distraction to remove pressure and attention.

Moreover, if it was true that recently arrived Haitians were left to steal domestic pets or wild living birds to survive, the shame is on our hands, as US citizens, for allowing people to starve when there is so much food available. How would a country with one of the highest GDPs allow people fleeing terror to be reduced to stealing pets to eat? That would be disgusting and a terrible indictment of who we are as a country, not that many of us don't already see it.

The other statements about Haitians being filthy etc are just poorly informed or purposefully aimed to be harmful. Anyone who has lived with or around Haitians in any significant way knows how a Haitian home is kept. Anyone who has spent any significant time with Haitians understands how, even if someone is living in poverty with nothing, there is still pride in themselves and how they live...and that is a huge reason, all other things aside, why folks are not out stealing Fluffy to have dinner. Those things are without pride, and folks would rather starve.

There is also the purposeful misunderstanding of how immigrants acclimate to a new place. Folks coming here from the border or via the Biden program are on pins and needles because they know their situation is wobbly, and they are smart. No one is going to be knowingly acting in a way that is going to upset where they live or who they live around, and Haitian culture contains nothing that would be super out of the ordinary in the US.

I am glad the reporter spoke to local Haitians and made the effort to get accurate translations of what folks were saying. How some questions were answered gives a clear picture to folks who know that they know they are under a microscope, both in the US and with the situation in Haiti; did you catch how, when questioned about gangs and violence, the one guy knew nothing about nobody? That's not accidental.

This will also target Vodou and Haitian vodouizan as well. I have already seen commentary on social media about how Haitians who are eating all these animals--dogs, cats, ducks, rats, etc--and doing 'rituals' with the remains. This is a dangerous and slippery slope, particularly if the party supporting these statements retakes the White House.

So...pay attention. This is a masterclass in the deployment of classism and racism to create distractions ahead of an election that feels very important to many people. Don't let them control your attention.

[arizonaconservativegal]

As you work in government, and think the government should be dramatically reduced, I was wondering where you think such cuts ought to start and how would you get enough people to agree with you? From where I stand, as someone who gained political consciousness in 2018(?) and has been leaning right libertarian ever since, it seems no one can agree even though we all see the same issue.

Well if I were dictator for a day, I'd eliminate the federal Department of Education because they pretty much do nothing of value.

But the real answer is that I wouldn't start by cutting any programs at all.

Sure I'm a libertarian who has a philosophical problem with pretty much every government program, and if I were building the system from the ground up, I wouldn't ever include most of what we ended up with, but since it's already there, that's not an option.

Besides, even as bloated as they are, most government offices/agencies/departments do have a handful of very necessary positions and good employees in them. They just also have an awful lot of jobs that no one would ever miss and a lot of employees who do nothing but take up space. You need to go through all of them with a fine tooth comb to figure out which ones should be kept, what can be consolidated, and what can be eliminated with no impact on services. And then you'd need to hang around long enough to figure out which individual people to keep (either in their existing roles or reassign them to more useful positions) and which ones are just dedicated to being useless.

The problem is that doing that properly takes a tremendous amount of time and you really can't leave it up to the bureaucrats within the departments. If you tell them to just cut staffing levels by a certain percentage, half of them will just go by last hired, first fired and the other half will deliberately cut critical and public facing positions to create political demand for their funding to be restored.

If I were really going to go through all that, I'd start by identifying the positions to cut and then let attrition do its thing. Useless positions do not need to be replaced when vacated. Not actually firing anyone gets you around civil service protections and if you do your targeting well, the only people who will really squawk will be union bosses upset about dwindling membership numbers. The two tricks here are a) you still have to replace the positions that are necessary and start consolidating responsibilities so you can't skip that first step of figuring out what those are and b) you cannot let politics determine which positions are cut. All services levels must be maintained, even in programs that we disagree with politically.

The next thing I would do - which would be much harder - is reform those civil service and union protections. We need to be able to fire people who do not do their jobs adequately or who are no longer needed. Right now that's pretty much impossible so instead of firing them, we shuffle them off to another position - and usually that comes with a promotion and raise so they can't claim they're being treated unfairly. Or we just hire a second person to do the job the first one won't or can't do but instead of replacing the first person with the second person, we just pay two people to do one job at the same time.

The trade I would make is to eliminate or drastically increase pay caps for high performing employees and for positions that we have trouble hiring/retaining qualified employees. Too often we lose highly effective employees because the only thing we can do to reward them is to promote them out of their area of skill. And we simply cannot hire a talented lawyer or tech worker for $75k when they could be making two or three or ten times that in the private sector. Sorry, I know no one wants to pay government employees more but when we have a team of ten shitty employees getting paid $50k each, that's a lot more expensive than getting one good one who will actually do the job for $200k.

(If I could, I'd also put new employees on a 401k style retirement plan - I'd even offer a very generous match - and never put them in the pension system. It would save us a ton of money and frankly, those employees would be better off in the long run for having control of their retirement funds. But that's a separate issue and possibly a bigger hurdle than cutting jobs.)

Only when all that was done, and after several years had gone by so the public would see that the reductions in workforce really didn't hamper the service they received, that's when I'd think about starting to cut actual programs.

And then I would start with the Department of Education.

Don Moynihan at Can We Still Govern?:

President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk justify dismantling the civil service as cost cutting. The federal government has “billions and billions of dollars in waste, fraud, and abuse,” Trump claimed earlier this month, and Musk has complained about a “staggering amount of waste of taxpayer money.” Their actions—a barrage of executive orders, memos, layoffs, and attempts to unilaterally eliminate entire agencies—have sparked outrage, but Musk sees that only as proof of their achievements: “They wouldn’t be complaining so much if we weren’t doing something useful.” To start, let’s dispense with the notion that the government is too big. It is not. As a share of the workforce, federal employment has declined in the past several decades. Civilian employees represent about 1.5 percent of the population and account for less than 7 percent of total government spending. According to the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service, seven out of 10 civilian employees work in organizations that deal with national security, including departments—such as Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security—that the public supports. The reality is that the federal government has long faced a human-capital crisis. Since 2001, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office has classified human-capital management—the number of people who are successfully recruited to fill skilled positions—as an area of “high risk” for the federal government. The workforce is older than the private sector, and the federal government already has a hard time hiring people. The Trump administration has created a toxic work environment. I’ve spent 25 years studying public administration and have never seen anything like the deep sense of dread that federal employees are now experiencing. I spoke with workers who feared reprisal if their names were published. One told me that there’s an “eerie” mood in the Census Bureau office: “No one can openly discuss anything.” Another civil servant said that people who’ve worked in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for decades are afraid and “can’t believe what’s happening.” [...] Back in December I wrote about the the possibility that Trump would pursue and unprecedented politicization of the military by purging its senior officers. Well, it happened. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Q. Brown Jr, Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the who lead the Navy; and Gen. James Slife, the vice chief of the Air Force, were all pushed out. Some takeaways.

Three senior officers were let go. The two most senior were a Black man and White woman. This reflects an ethos among the Trump administration that DEI is not just training programs, but the presence of non-White males in senior positions. Brown is being replaced by a three star general, who may need a Congressional waiver because he lacks sufficient experience as a commander. It reflects a pattern of less experienced and qualified White men replacing Black men: Hegseth replacing Lyold Austen, and Trump replacing Obama.

The other three who were removed were lawyers, the Judge Advocates General for the Army, Navy and Air Force. Why them? They are not involved in any conflicts. Why are they as important as the Joints Chief of Staff? The answer is that this is part of a broader pattern where Trump has been targeting General Counsels and other lawyers across government. It has long been part of his second-term strategy for governing.Having loyalist lawyers in place will make it much harder for military officers to resist Trump’s orders. Hegseth has been critical of military lawyers constraining officers in the field. In practical terms, this might result in a legal blessing and greater practice of what is commonly regarded as war crimes. Hegseth’s selection for Secretary of Defense came after he lobbied Trump to pardon convicted war criminals. Now it is simply less likely they would be prosecuted. Military loyalist lawyers can also greenlight the use of military as a domestic police force, by invoking the Insurrection Act.

Authoritarians focus on controlling the bureaucracy, but especially the legal system and national security system. Whatever else Hegseth says about readiness or DEI, Trump’s military purges are about control. This may be only the start of a series of actions to build an American military centered on loyalty to Trump.

…and Complacent Judges

At this point, we are putting a great deal of hope in the judicial branch. A good measure is how many judges put emergency injunctions in place to stop harm from occurring before they rule on the legality of the actions. We are seeing such orders. On the other hand, we are also seeing judges allowing the Trump administration to move forward based on the faulty assumption that they are operating under normal conditions.

Don Moynihan wrote over the weekend about the unfolding Trump/Musk coup, targeting the military and civil service.

Enhanced PNPs: Candidates have a profile in the Express Entry pool. If nominated by the province, they receive an additional 600 points towards their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, significantly improving their chances of receiving an ITA in the next Express Entry draw.

How Healthcare Workers Can Benefit from PEI PNP

For healthcare professionals, the PEI PNP offers an ideal opportunity to immigrate to Canada. As the demand for healthcare workers continues to grow, PEI actively seeks professionals in this field. Healthcare workers who are already working in PEI or have job offers from PEI employers are eligible for consideration under both the Labour Impact Category and PEI PNP Express Entry.

With the rising need for healthcare professionals in Canada, now is the perfect time to explore options like the PEI PNP. Wave Immigration Consultant, known for its personalized services, can assist you in navigating this process.

Macro Trends Impacting Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) in Canada

The 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan has had a significant impact on Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs. As part of the new plan, the PNP admissions target has been reduced for 2025 from 110,000 to 55,000, which will influence the number of ITAs issued across Canada’s provinces.

This reduction may impact the number of candidates selected in future PNP draws, making it even more important for aspiring immigrants to maximize their chances of being invited through programs like PEI PNP.

The 2025 Immigration Levels Plan and Its Implications

The 2025 Immigration Levels Plan has set a new allocation for permanent residency admissions under the PNP at 55,000. This allocation will be distributed among the various provinces and territories. As such, it’s crucial to stay updated on these changes and adjust your immigration strategy accordingly.

The shift to a lower allocation underscores the importance of acting quickly, especially for professionals in high-demand fields like healthcare. Wave Immigration Consultant can help you plan your next steps to align with these shifting trends.

If you are an Indian and plan to immigrate to Canada, then obtaining a Permanent Residency will be one of the best ways for you to start. Permanent Residence in Canada has several benefits: medical benefits are free, quality education, and you can even become a full-blooded citizen of Canada. However, for the 2025 intake, specific requirements are necessary if you want to apply for Canada PR. This guide will walk you through what's required and set you on your way to a new life in Canada.

 What is Canada PR?

Canada PR from India allows Indian citizens to reside, work, and settle in Canada and enjoys almost all the rights that a Canadian citizen possesses. Because you are a permanent resident, free healthcare, educational benefits, and legal protection will be available to you. A few years after holding PR, you may apply for Canadian citizenship.

To qualify for Canada PR one needs to pass the eligibility criteria, primarily through Canada's Express Entry system that works on three systems, which are as follows:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Federal Skilled Trades Worker (FSTP)

For Indian immigrants, the Federal Skilled Worker Program is liked most, though every pathway has different eligibility criteria.

Key Eligibility Requirements for Canada PR in 2025

 1. Work Experience

Work experience is one of the most important elements in your application for Canada PR. Under the Express Entry system, you must demonstrate that you have had at least one year of continuous full-time skilled work experience or its part-time equivalent in the last 10 years. The experience must be classified under Canada's National Occupational Classification (NOC) list. Ideally, jobs in TEERS 0 (management jobs), 1 (professional jobs), or 2(technical jobs) will boost your score a lot.

 2. Language Proficiency

Language proficiency in either English or French is required for every candidate. In the case of English, one needs to take IELTS test. Here, one must score at least 6 bands in every module: Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. The more you score, the more you add to your Comprehensive Ranking System score. French speakers have the option of taking the TEF test to earn extra points.

 3. Education

Education is yet another qualification for you. Your education has to be checked through some authorized body and will then be verified whether it meets the requirements set up in Canada. The higher your education level, the more points score. For instance, a PhD holder scores more points than a bachelor's degree holder.

4. Arranged Employment (Optional)

While not a required component, having a valid job offer from a Canadian employer can greatly improve your chances to get issued with an ITA for PR. A valid job offer is the reason for gaining up to 10 extra points in CRS score, which will place you higher in the Express Entry pool rankings.

 5. Adaptability

This element takes into consideration how easily you can get established in Canada. Marks are given if you meet at least one of the following criteria:

Your spouse or common-law partner is eligible to come to Canada and has the language abilities CLB at level 4 or higher

You have previous work or study experience in Canada

You have blood relatives already living in Canada

You have arranged employment in Canada

All these factors can help you score as much as 10 points.

6. Canada's 67-Point System

Canada uses a points-based assessment in terms of determining eligibility for PR under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). You must score at least 67 out of 100 points determined by key factors like age, education, language ability, work experience, arranged employment, and adaptability.

 Point Awards:

Age: up to 12 points

Education: up to 25 points

Language Skill: up to 28 points

Work Experience: Maximum 15

Adaptability: Maximum 10

Arranged Employment: Maximum 10

Am I Eligible for Canada PR?

Checking your eligibility for immigration in Canada PR is the most vital step toward your migration journey. One can get a fair idea about the factors such as age, education, work experience, and language skills in one's CRS score. These points will help applicants prepare well in advance for the process.

CUAET measures for Ukrainians are extended by Canada:

Eligibility for Permanent Residence Through CUAET

Temporary Residence Extensions: What You Need to Know

Pathways to Permanent Residence in Canada

Express Entry System

Wave Immigration Consultant: Helping Ukrainians Navigate the Process

Conclusion

1. Introduction to CUAET and Its Purpose

The Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) program was introduced in March 2022 as a direct response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The initiative allowed Ukrainian nationals to come to Canada, temporarily, as part of the country's humanitarian support to those affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This initiative proved to be an essential lifeline, enabling almost 300,000 Ukrainians to seek refuge in Canada.

2. Extended Deadline for Ukrainians Under CUAET

In a recent update, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced that the deadline for Ukrainians to benefit from facilitated processing of their temporary residence applications has been extended.

Ukrainian nationals who are currently in Canada under the CUAET measures and arrived on or before March 31, 2024, can apply for an extension of their work permit, study permit, or visitor status until March 31, 2026. This extension provides Ukrainian nationals more time to remain in Canada under these temporary measures, further reinforcing Canada's commitment to supporting them during this challenging time.

3. How CUAET Benefits Ukrainian Nationals in Canada

CUAET offers significant benefits to Ukrainians in Canada. This facilitated processing of temporary residence applications means Ukrainians can more easily extend their status in the country. This includes applying for work permits, study permits, or visitor status without the usual processing delays and complexities.

It's important to note that applicants who have not yet received a decision on their CUAET application are not eligible for facilitated processing, as the IRCC continues to address complex cases from previous applications.

4. Eligibility for Permanent Residence Through CUAET

Ukrainians eligible under the CUAET measures can also work toward permanent residence status in Canada. Many Canadian immigration pathways, such as the Express Entry system and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), reward individuals who have Canadian work experience, education, and language proficiency, making CUAET a valuable route for Ukrainians to build their eligibility for permanent residence.

5. Temporary Residence Extensions: What You Need to Know

Under the updated measures, those arriving in Canada under the CUAET can extend their stay until March 31, 2026. This provides flexibility for Ukrainians who are still uncertain about their long-term plans or who wish to continue building their eligibility for permanent residence.

Ukrainians who arrived in Canada after March 31, 2024, will need to follow the standard application process and pay regular fees. Those whose CUAET applications have been rejected may still qualify for temporary residence through other Canadian immigration pathways.

6. Pathways to Permanent Residence in Canada

There are several pathways to permanent residence available to Ukrainian nationals who are benefiting from the CUAET measures. Two of the most important programs are Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).

Express Entry System

The Express Entry system is a popular immigration pathway for skilled workers seeking permanent residency in Canada. It includes three main programs:

Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

Candidates under Express Entry must create a profile detailing factors such as age, education, language proficiency, and Canadian work experience. These factors are scored under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), and candidates with the highest scores are more likely to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

For those with strong ties to a particular Canadian province or territory, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is another option. This pathway rewards individuals based on factors like work experience, education, language skills, and local connections, further increasing eligibility for permanent residence.

7. Wave Immigration Consultant: Helping Ukrainians Navigate the Process
