In a recent survey done by Environics, commissioned by Pierre Eliot Trudeau Foundation found that both immigrants settled in Canada and those born in Canada have the same view that certain values should be accepted as part of becoming a Canadian immigrant.
The poll results show that 97% of Canadians feel that newcomers should embrace “Gender Equality” and “tolerance of others” and 96% of the immigrant Canadians agree as well.
Nearly 9 in 10 Canadians polled believed that Canada’s law should take precedence over the religious law for the new arrivals and 91% of the immigrant Canadians agreed. And, 88% of the Canadians polled agreed that newcomers should become familiar with Canada’s history and culture and 87% of the polled immigrants concur.
Almost 8 in every 10 Canadians polled also strongly feel that immigrants should “raise their kids as Canadians” and 74% of the new arrivals polled agreed. The survey suggests that newcomers adopting Canadian values is a much higher priority for the public than achieving financial self-sufficiency.
That is definitely food for thought for the new comers and something to learn about, take into account when planning to move to Canada permanently.
What do you think as an would be immigrant/ new comer to Canada/ well-settled immigrant/ Canadian should the newcomers adopt the Canadian way of life?

Effective 1st July 2011, government of Canada, has reduced the number of applications from 1000 per eligible occupation to only 500. And the clock is ticking already, this limit of only 500 applications for each of the 29 eligible occupations has started from 1st July 2011 and will end on 30th June 2012.
In total, the government of Canada, will only be taking 10,000 applications from 1st July 2011 till 30th June 2012. So if you have been thinking about filling up the forms, or gathering the required documentation or finding out if you are eligible or not, do you make enough points or you are slightly short on points how to get more points..etc,. then act on it NOW..
The hour-glass is trickling.. And, soon the 500 cap will be reached on the eligible occupations. Also remember, there is always a chance you might not be eligible next year as the government of Canada, revises the list of eligible occupations based on the economic demand and the shortfall or surplus of people for occupations in Canada.
So act fast, and remember you can always send us a free assessment form to get you started on the path of becoming a permanent resident of Canada.

Government of Canada released family reunification plans for 2011. Family class includes wives, husbands, children, parents and grand parents of Canadian permanent residents and citizens. Last year (2010) 59,000 family class immigrants entered Canada, the highest number accepted in the last 50 years of Canada’s immigration history.
Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, announced recently that in 2011 the Canadian government will increase family reunification. In 2010, the quota set aside for family class immigration was between 57,000 – 63,000 immigrants, and 59,029 family class immigrants entered Canada in 2010 alone. For 2011 that quota has been increased even further to become 58,500 to 65,000 immigrants.
“Within the family class, our government is putting wives, husbands, and children first. Through a slight decrease in projected admissions range for parents and grandparents, we will be able to significantly increase the number of spouses and children admitted next year,” said Minister Kenney. “That means more dads, moms, and children being reunited with their loved ones than in previous years.”
If you or any one you know is eligible for immigration to Canada under the family class immigration OR if you would like to find out more about the family class immigration, please feel free to contact us at info@immigrationzonecanada.com or browse through our website Immigration Zone Canada to learn more.

Below is what truly transpired on a June day in year 2010 of my life. And, I have decided to share it with everyone as I keep on getting lots of questions on which is the best country to immigrate to? Why should we decide to move to Canada? etc., etc.,
In June 2010, I was called to take the oath ceremony in Toronto, Ontario. Oath ceremony is the official ceremony when you become a Canadian citizen. So, here I was, all ready and prepared for the oath ceremony. We were all seated in a big room with lots of pictures and a life-size red and white Canadian flag surrounding us. Everyone had their camera’s ready, as if we were all born photographers.
Then the process was explained to us and we were all asked to stand when the presiding judge comes in. We all followed suit, the Judge was a soft-spoken, well-educated proud Canadian citizen who shares a bit about himself. Canada is a bilingual country so the judge speaks both in French and English. He tells us about how proud we should be to become Canadian citizens and talks to us about our rights and obligations.
He then goes on to tells us that there are 87 fellow permanent residents becoming Canadian citizens that day in the room and these 87 people are coming from 27 different countries. He went on to list the countries, while he was reading the names of the countries, my gaze was going around the room and I saw people from all parts of the world, all colours, all origins, all shapes and sizes around me. Standing there, right in the middle of the room among my fellow Canadians I felt as if I have truly come home. I knew that I have made the right choice!!
Where else would I be so warmly welcomed and made to feel at home every step of the way. This was the feeling which i had felt the first time when I had landed in Canada and was treated with understanding, dignity and respect while my paperwork was checked on the airport, was asked questions and was given information on what to do and of course, lovingly welcomed to Canada.
And, Canada is a land of all cultures and traditions living together in peace and harmony, all religions co-exist. That day I knew there was no going back and I have chosen the right country to call HOME…
Now I am going to leave it up to you to decide whether you would like to be a part of this wonder and call Canada Home…

Canada has seen near record high hiring in June since the recession. Canada like many other countries had lost thousands of jobs during the recession. The growth in June is largely coming from Central Canada (Ontario and Quebec). which has led to unemployment rates falling to 7.9% for the first time since early 2009, as per Statistics Canada.
The main gains came from the private sector in retail, health care, trade and building services in particular. Private sector is picking up the job loss and taking the stress away from the public sector which had spent $62 billion on the stimulus package during the recession to keep the Canadian economy going.
Canada’s job gains are much brighter than U.S.,still at 9.5% jobless rate and a sluggish housing and labour market.
Recently, Huffingtonpost.com had an article about Canada mentioning Canada’s job growth and well-regulated banking system with strong consumer protection. The article header was “NEED A JOB? TRY CANADA, WHERE HIRING IS BOOMING AND HOME PRICES ARE RISING“. With 62% of US citizens and/or residents ready to move to Canada, for a job as per the poll on the post.

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:
Restaurant and Food Service Managers, Primary Production Managers (Except Agriculture), Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management, Insurance Adjusters and Claims Examiners, Biologists and Related Scientists, Architects, Specialist Physicians, General Practitioners and Family Physicians, Dentists, Pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Registered Nurses, Medical Radiation Technologists, Dental Hygienists & Dental Therapists, Licensed Practical Nurses, Psychologists, Social Workers, Chefs, Cooks, Contractors and Supervisors, Carpentry Trades, Contractors and Supervisors, Mechanic Trades, Electricians (Except Industrial & Power System), Industrial Electricians, Plumbers, Welders & Related Machine Operators, Heavy-Duty Equipment Mechanics, Crane Operators, Drillers & Blasters – Surface Mining, Quarrying & Construction, Supervisors, Oil and Gas Drilling and Service
Now the important part is if you have been thinking about immigrating to Canada, and you have one year of experience in any one of the 29 in demand occupations above then start the process asap. Canada is capping the applications per year per occupation to 1,000. So make sure you are one of the 1,000 this year!!

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.

Looking to immigrate to Canada, not sure where to go? Here is a report by Canadian Council on Learning that depicts the cities and how learned they are. This could be another factor for you to consider if you are looking for a city which focuses and encourages learning.
26 factors were taken into consideration for a period of 5 years to rank and gauge the 4,500 cities, towns and rural communities across Canada. What are some of the factors considered when calling a city smart/ learned? These include high-school drop out rates, reading and math scores, spending on museums and reading materials, travel time to religious institutions, exposure to media and access to community facilities. It also includes factors like job skills such as computer training and apprenticeships, social skills, literacy, numeracy and activities that foster personal development.
Interestingly the score for the country as a whole has only grown by 0.3% each year in the last 5 years. But there are significant improvements in individual cities.
Top of the list is Victoria (BC) leading all major Canadian cities with a score of 95, Saskatoon (SK) came in second with 90, followed by Calgary (Alberta) 88, Ottawa (ON) 87 and Regina (84). Victoria and Saskatoon are the only 2 cities with scores significantly above the national average and +2.7 and +1.5 growths per year in the last 5 years. Calgary and Ottawa have on the other hand declined in the last 5 years by -0.9% and -1.3% per year.
Atlantic Canada on the other hand had sizable improvements led mainly by Fredericton and St. John’s. “This confirms what happens at the local level is very really important” says the council’s head Paul Cappon.
Out of 3 major metropolitan cities Toronto score was 81 (+1.3) Vancouver was 77 (-0.1) and Montreal was 70 (+0.5).
