Canada has announced that spouses of open work permit holders are now eligible to work in Canada. In a bid to resolve the acute labour shortage that will also keep families of open work permit holders together, Canada said that starting 2023, their spouses will be eligible to work in the country.

Open work permits allow foreign nationals to legally work for any employer and in any job in Canada. “Today we are making an announcement that will make it easier for employers to find workers and for families to remain together while they’re here,” said Canada’s Minister of Immigration Sean Fraser.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
