Dave Amor: The impact of UK immigration overhaul on higher education

Amid recent measures reshaping the UK’s immigration policies, including heightened salary requirements and limitations on foreign dependents, Dave Amor, Higher Insights director, discusses its substantial impact on higher education.

Economic challenges, including the risk of a recession, Canada’s rising unemployment rate, labor shortages, and high-interest rates despite slowing inflation, still pose a threat to Canadian organizations in 2024.

Under these extended measures, employers in these sectors can maintain the hiring of up to 30 percent of their workforce for low-wage positions through the Temporary Foreign Workers program,, while also maintaining a two-year duration cap for positions under the provincial or territorial minimum wage.

This will grant temporary foreign workers the ability to pursue longer educational programs without a study permit, aiming to boost their job prospects and facilitate their transition to permanent residency.
