We have been talking about this and the government of Canada has gone ahead and updated their list of in-demand occupations to fill in the work force shortage and help the Canadian economy. The catch is the limited number of applications that will be accepted under these 29 occupations per year.

Ok, so are we eligible now? Here is the list of new occupations:

Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Immigration program changes effective 26th June 2010

June 27, 2010

Today, Minister Jason Kenney announced the long-awaited updated list of occupations for the Federal Skilled Worker program of Canadian Immigration.

Canada’s 2010 quota for immigration is about  265,000 immigrants. The focus is on economic immigration to help the ease shortage of work force and boost the economy. And, Canadian immigration wants to reduce the backlog of older, already filed in process applications of Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) so they have gone ahead and reduced the number of eligible occupations so that they can finalise the pending applications and reduce the backlog.

This is indeed good news for all those people who have been in the pipeline for some years now. Soon they will have some update on their pending applications. But what about the rest of us, who were thinking of immigrating to Canada. Currently there are about 380,000 pending FSW applications down from 640,000 in Nov 2008.

Now what? There are 29 eligible occupations effective today, 26th June 2010 that are eligible to apply for FSW or have a job offer. The main purpose is to reduce the number of new applications. To achieve that goal they will only be taking a fixed amount of applications per eligible occupation for the year. So it will become a first come first serve FSW program. This will bring Canadian economic immigration program (federal skilled worker program) in line with the rest of the world, namely UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Wait for our next post with the list of the new in-demand occupations or eligible occupations and what is the new cutoff number of applications per year introduced today by the Canadian authorities.

Canada to review its immigration policy on inadmissibility of foreigners

June 19, 2010

The Canadian government vowed to review its immigration rules after Canadian visa officers in India barred dozens of people stating grounds that their service in army, police and intelligence units rendered them involved in human-rights violations.

Canada’s immigration law bars anyone from entering Canada, whether on a permanent residency or a visit visa if the person has carried out war crimes or has been involved in terrorism, systematic or gross human rights violation or genocide.

These refusals caused a huge furor in India and the Canadian Immigration Minister, Jason Kenney, apologized for the incorrect refusals of the applications. Clearly stating that the visa officers should never have cast aspersions on India’s institutions. He also said “Government of Canada therefore deeply regrets the recent incident in which letters drafted by public service officials during routine visa refusals to Indian nationals cast false aspersions on the legitimacy of work carried out by Indian defence and security institutions, which operate under the framework of democracy and the rule of law”.

He also pledged that Canada will review its policy on declaring foreigners inadmissible.

Immigrants beware of Ghost Agents or unlicensed immigrant consultants!!

May 28, 2010

There are lots of people who call themselves immigration consultants but they are not licensed by the government of Canada to practice as an Immigration Consultant. As an immigrant or someone wishing to immigrate to Canada please be aware of the sharks out there in the world.

Don’t be complacent about it, make sure that you ask the person you are planning to trust with your application that the person is a legitimate immigration consultant. Make sure to ask for their membership/ affiliation to CSIC (Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants) and then please do your homework. Go online on www.csic-scci.ca and check if the person is listed in the members. If he/ she is not on the list on that website, STOP!! don’t deal with him. He is NOT a licensed Immigration Consultant, he is what is called a GHOST AGENT or unlicensed Immigration Consultant.

Ghost Agents are so bold and confident that in British Columbia, Canada there have been instances where they advertise on the radio and promise to help you. They take your money, promise to file and sometimes won’t even file the application forget about filing it incomplete or with incorrect information.

Government of Canada is planning to “crackdown on crooked consultants” by the end of the parliamentary session next month says Alykhan Velshi, communications director for federal Immigration Minister Jason Kenney. He believes opposition parties will back the measures.

CSIC on its end, is running ads in the local newspapers in Canada time and again to make the immigrants aware of their role and to be aware of the Ghost Consultants all around us. Remember there are 1700 plus legitimate Immigration Consultants and you as an immigrant have a right to ask for membership details of the person you will be dealing with before you sign any contract or disclose any information or part with money for immigrating to Canada.

Check out the latest ad CSIC ran in the newspapers:

Remember, if you or anyone you know is looking for more information or would like to immigrate to Canada, please contact Immigration Zone Canada or fill in the free Assessment Form to find out if you qualify.

Ontario, Canada looking to attract more foreign students

April 30, 2010

Ontario, the most populated province of Canada has modified its rules for foreign (international) students. Now students who have got their PhD at a publicly funded Ontario campus will be fast-tracked for permanent resident status.

Previously if any student had completed their studies in Ontario they would only be eligible to be fast-tracked for permanent residence (immigration to Canada) under the provincial nominee program if he/ she had a job offer. Under the new rules all PhD students can apply for the fast-track program as soon as they have completed the requirements for their degree.

These changes will help keep Ontario foreign student PhD graduates within Ontario and will help attract future foreign students who are looking to come and study in Canada with the aim of working and permanently settling in Canada as Canadian immigrants or permanent residents.

This is a really good opportunity for students who are looking to immigrate to Canada and complete/ further their education along with gaining immigration to Canada.

If you have completed your PhD from one of the Ontario’s publicly funded universities within the last 2 years you may be eligible to apply under this new rule for immigration to Canada. If you have any questions, want to apply for immigration, not sure how to go about it or would like to study in Canada please contact Immigration Zone Canada.
