As immigration policies continue to evolve in both the U.S. and Canada, October brings major updates impacting employers, foreign professionals, and students. The Trump administration has announced a forthcoming rule to tighten H-1B eligibility and oversight, along with a proposed $100,000 H-1B fee that could reshape the U.S. employment landscape. Meanwhile, USCIS introduces a new $1,000 Immigration Parole Fee, the 2026 Diversity Visa Lottery opens, and Operation Twin Shield increases scrutiny across immigration filings.
On the Canadian front, updates include Bill C-3 restoring citizenship to “Lost Canadians” and stricter Temporary Foreign Worker compliance measures.
