Immigrating to Canada |
Canadian Immigration is designed to benefit Canada and its economic situation. Every year the laws can change and new regulations and standards are established.
Federal Skilled Worker Program:
The New Category is here:
To Qualify you must have one of the following:
Eligible occupations:On April 26, 2014, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will issue a new set of Ministerial Instructions to immigration officers regarding the processing of applications to the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Effective May 1, 2014, the following measures will be in place: Federal Skilled Workers are chosen as permanent residents based on their ability to prosper in Canada. They are assessed according to a selection grid made up of six factors, including language, education, work experience, etc.
Minimum Language ThresholdAll prospective applicants to the FSWP should first determine whether they meet the new minimum language threshold: Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7 or Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) 7 in all four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing)IELTS:score at least 6.0 on the IELTS General Training test in each of the four skills to meet the minimum language threshold of CLB 7. CELPIP: must score at least 4L on the CELPIP-General test in each of the four skills to meet the minimum language threshold. A score of 4L on the CELPIP-General test corresponds to CLB 7. A score of 4H corresponds to CLB 8, and a score of 5 or higher corresponds to CLB 9 or higher.
Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)Another important change that takes effect on May 4, 2013, is the introduction of the educational credential assessment (ECA). This assessment is required of all credentials that you will use for your application that were not obtained in Canada. Applicants who have Canadian educational credentials do not need to get an ECA, unless they are also submitting a foreign educational credential in support of their application. The ECA process will help determine if the foreign educational credential is authentic and equivalent to a completed credential in Canada. For prospective applicants, the ECA can provide a realistic understanding of how their foreign educational credentials are likely to be recognized in Canada. As of April 17, 2013, four organizations have been designated by the Minister to provide ECA reports for purposes of immigrating to Canada under the FSWP. Additional organizations may be designated by CIC in the future.

Provincial Nominee Programs Immigration to Canada usually falls under the Federal jurisdiction. Canada Immigration has Visa offices around the world to process immigration applications in accordance with national requirements. In addition to the Federal Immigration Programs, Canada has agreements with individual Provinces. Provincial Nominee Programs allow a Province to “Nominate” immigrants, based upon the selection criteria determined by the Province. PNP cases are usually processed much faster than “regular” immigration cases, because rather than waiting in a long queue of applicants to be assessed by Canada Immigration, the assessment is done by the Province. Generally, all Canada Immigration needs to do is the medical and security checks, and the Visas can be issued. In many cases, the immigrant can be issued a Work Permit while his or her immigration case is being processed. Thus, rather than having to wait for years before immigrating to Canada, the immigrant can often come to work in Canada within a few months. Canada is composed of 9 provinces and 3 territories Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta, Vancouver, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Saskatchewan, North West Territories, Yukon and Nunavut. If you qualify to come to Canada under any of Provincial Nominee programs, we will include it in detail in your Initial Assessment.
