Get a working visa to Canada in 2015 again possible

05/08/201505/08/2015

Those who wish to get a working visa to Canada people again gain hope. After the introduction of the new EXPRESS Entry immigration system, receiving working visas to Canada in 2015 was actually stopped. Typically, such pauses occur when certain changes are required. It also happened with working visas. And on April 30, 2015, the innovations were finally presented and entered into force. First of all, the following criteria were updated: the average hourly wage in the specialties and by regions, which sorted all vacant positions to "with a high level of wages" and "with low wage." As before, to obtain a permit for the employment of a foreign worker, the employer must first submit documents to ESDC, the Office of the Economic and Social Development of Canada. According to the results of their work, the Canadian company can get a positive LMIA (earlier LMO), an assessment of the labor market, which in essence means that this position cannot be filled with local workers, and gives the right to invite an employee from abroad. According to the new rules, ESDC compares the level of the proposed wage by vacancies with the average wage on the province and on the basis of this refers to the employer's request to one of the categories: "With a high level of wages" and "with a low wage." If the wage level is lower than the province in the province, then the requirements are made alone, if higher, then other.

From January 1, 2015, the Federal Government of Canada sharply increased fees for consideration of documents for Canadian citizenship.

In addition to 530 dollars, there is still the so-called Right of Citizenship collection in 100 Canadian dollars.

According to the Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship, Canada, new prices will cover the cost of processing each application, which is about 555 Canadian dollars. Thus, the increase in prices will remove the additional burden of taxpayers.

Immigration program in Canada for 2015

04/18/201404/18/2014

Express Entry or the "Accelerated" immigration program will be entered into operation in January 2015. Initially, the program was called "Expression of Interest".

This immigration program in Canada promises to be something absolutely innovative in the field of immigration and is aimed at improving the country's economy and ensuring its necessary labor resources.

The Express Immigration program is characterized by special flexibility and will help with filling out free jobs that failed to fill in local workers. This will attract the necessary labor in the regions. Under the terms of this program, candidates who received proposals for work, as well as immigrants that participate in the Province program Provincial Nominee Program will be offered by the status of a permanent resident. This is the main advantage of the new program compared to the Program "Temporary Worker", which was only focused on the temporary employment of foreign workers.

The Express Immigration program is intended for qualified specialists who will be able to submit a questionnaire with information on experience and education in the common system (POOL). If the candidate meets the minimum requirements of the program, its file will be assigned to the other questionnaires received from the candidates. The Government of Canada in turn will consider them and invite the most qualified specialists to submit documents to obtain the status of a permanent resident of Canada. In addition to this, these questionnaires will be available for search and Canadian companies, and those who receive a valid job invitation or will be nominated for immigration from the province, will also be able to automatically go to immigration.

This method of the Government of Canada seems more efficient, as it allows you to immigrate to those who have great chances of success in Canada, and not those who are the first in line with documents for immigration, as it was before.

At the same time, qualified personnel will be able to count on a shorter time processing dates - 6 months and less.

This program will serve as an excellent resource to employers to find valuable workers.

To date, the period of residence (actual presence in Canada) must be 3 years from the last four - only after this permanent resident of Canada, according to all other conditions, can send documents for the status of a citizen.

But the procedure for consideration of the application, according to forecasts, should be reduced. Applicants will be able to get a passport of Canada in more compressed dates. Currently, the average waiting time submitted to the Canadian citizenship of documents is from 2 to 3 years.

Circumstances for deprivation of citizenship

It is expected to be amended by the government to deprive citizenship under exclusive circumstances, for example, in case of treason, or complicity in terrorist acts.

Passport as a gift at the age of adulthood

The question of obtaining citizenship born in Canada babies is also sore. Tourism of pregnant women in Canada is a fairly common phenomenon, especially from Asian countries. Born in Canada The child has the right to receive a Canadian passport to achieve majority.

This problem is also intended to consider and find ways to solve, but somewhat later. Provincial governments are also involved here (maternity homes are the regulatory sphere in the provincial level), so discussions should be held with their participation.

The government of Canada voiced its grandiose plans in the field of international education. The goal is to double the number of foreign students and researchers coming to Canada for education, and by 2022 bring this figure to 450 thousand!

From where students are expected

It is expected that the bulk of new students will come from such directions as:

Brazil, China, India, Mexico, North Africa and the Middle East,Vietnam.

And this is to existing stable streams from

France, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Korea and the United States.

Whether the government will be able to embody such an ambitious plan, time will show, but the figures over the past years add enthusiasm. So, in 2012, the number of foreign students in Canada has already amounted to 265,000 people, which is 11% more compared to the previous year.

Of course, between 265 thousand in 2012 and 450 thousand to 2022 - a huge difference.

Education in Canada for foreigners is prestigious, because Canada is truly a unique country, the country is multinational, friendly and safe. And Canadian education meets the highest international standards. It is one thing - it is to convey this idea and submit in the international education market.But according to many experts, to achieve the goals for attracting international students, the government will also have to concentrate on solving and other issues, including visa and immigration:

facilitate the process of obtaining permission to study;

providing opportunities to foreign students of day offices to work in Canada without the need to submit an application for work permit.

The Minister of Housing Foundation was pleased with the landlords of Alberta and broke the hopes of tenants once again - rental housing in Albert will not be cheaper.

The origins of the problem

The fact is that due to the impressive influx of immigrants in the province of Albert, the cost of rental housing in Albert has risen significantly in price. An additional stimulus to the price increase is a relatively high level of wages in the province of oil and gas. According to a recent statistical study, the average salary per week in August was $ 1,117,58 by Canadian dollars, we emphasize, a week, and this is about $ 8 Canadian dollars per hour more than, for example, in the same province of Prince Edward.

This factors affected the rise in rental prices in Alberta. In one year, from April 2012 to April 2013, the market rose by an average of 7.2%.

So will housing in Alberta cheaper?

The annoyed tenants expressed their indignation of growing prices for removable accommodation, but the answer was unequivocal - the government will not interfere with the free market with its price regulation. Thus, housing in Alberta, or rather its availability in the hands of ownership owners.

His decision to remain aside from restrictions on the growth trends in the cost of rental housing in Albert, the Minister explained the landlords to cope with their risks too. After all, when the market is collapsed, as it was in 2008 (for example, the rental cost dropped from 1,900 to 1,100 Canadian dollars), the owner of the property / investor also turns out to be a non-protected state.

Although the limit on receiving documents at the moment is 5,000 completed applications, it is expected that about 20,000 visas will be issued in this area (parents and grandparents).

The fact is that from 2011 in the immigration service of Canada, a lot of unreasonable statements accumulated with which they promise to figure out first.

And according to forecasts, by 2014 the timing of consideration of documents for the sponsorship of parents will be about 2 to 2.5 years, by 2015 - only 1 - 2 years.
