It's perfect for spouses who don't work or don't plan to work after coming here, best of luck to them surviving in Canada on a single person's salary. But not everyone is in this situation right? Maybe some people will take emotional decisions, apply for this TRV and are okay sitting jobless for a long time which is their personal choice but I cannot state enough how badly this gap in work experience will impact their job prospects. From my personal experience as new immigrant, Canadian employers are very stingy and they don't care if the person applying is a citizen, permanent resident or on a work permit, if they see a big gap in your resume, maybe they will just ignore you, I definitely would not want to take that risk just for some stupid visa.
Also, during the announcement, the minister was boasting how this policy will help address the labour shortage but in reality, IRCC didn't do much to address that. They should have taken all of these things into account before making the announcement but IRCC keeps on living in their own bubble.
