Migration Expert Reports Changing Trend In Student Migration To Canada

Posted by Mohsin on 5:00 AM

Migration Expert Canada has reported an influx of enquiries for student visas to Canada. Many enquiries come from Indian nationals who are currently studying in countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom.

“A majority of our clients are from countries such as India who are studying in European or Australian institutions but are looking to continue their education in Canada”, says Migration Expert’s Manager of Migration Services. “Canadian Immigration has recently simplified the application process and we are seeing a significant increase in student visa applicants to colleges and universities across Canada. In particular there have been an increasing number of students from Australia who have been inquiring about studying in Canada.”

Other reasons for the changing trend could include Canada’s resilient economy, standard of living, reputation for safety, and increased opportunity.

Canada continues to be recognized as a provider of world-class education to students who come to learn English or French within Canada’s bilingual borders. The Student visa allows foreigners to engage in further studies in Canada either in an academic or vocational sector, thus bringing their rich culture, expansive knowledge and varied skills to Canada’s already diverse classrooms and schools.

Foreign applicants must show their intention to study, provide proof of acceptance and enrolment at an accredited institution, proof of sufficient funds and sufficient ties to return to their home country once they have completed their studies. Once granted, a student visa will allow applicants to experience Canada’s high-quality education system, state of the art research facilities, and broad post-graduate employment opportunities.

Many educational institutions offer awards, scholarships, and bursaries to international students on a competitive basis. An applicant who is granted a student visa is eligible to work on-campus throughout the school year, allowing them to earn money towards tuition, explore Canada’s diverse landscape, and gain valuable Canadian work experience. In addition, they may be entitled to apply for Off-Campus Work visa after 6 months. In most cases, foreign students are entitled to apply for a Post-Graduation Work visa, enabling them to remain in Canada for up to two years in some cases. It may also be possible have their permanent residence application processed in tandem, allowing them to work and live in Canada permanently.

While the visa application and processing times can vary, Migration Expert is able to assist their clients by choosing the best procedure to apply under. Furthermore, a Certified Immigration Consultant can ensure that the visa application is prepared and applied for correctly to minimise any further delay once submitted.

Cracking Down On Fake Immigration Consultants

Posted by Mohsin on 1:32 AM

Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney introduced today in the House of Commons a legislation to crack down on crooked immigration consultants who exploit prospective immigrants. It's called Cracking Down on Crooked Consultants Act.

The Cracking Down on Crooked Consultants Act would strengthen the rules governingthose who charge a fee for immigration advice, close immigration system loopholes currently exploited by crooked consultants, and improve the way in which immigration consultants are regulated.

“While most immigration consultants working in Canada are legitimate and ethical, it is clear that immigration fraud remains a widespread threat to the integrity of Canada’s immigration system,” said Minister Kenney. “The Cracking Down on Crooked Consultants Act will better protect prospective immigrants from crooked consultants and help safeguard our immigration system against fraud and abuse.” [Source]

If passed, the law will give the Minister the authority to designate a body to govern immigration consultants and establish measures to enhance the government’s oversight of this body. Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants is the body currently governing immigration consultants. Since the Minister himself recognizes the lack of public confidence in the regulation of immigration consultants, it is expected that a change in the governing body may be implemented.

In the Philippines, there are only few immigration consulting firms prior to the Ministerial Instructions introduced on November 2008. That is because immigration process takes about 5 years and thus, applying for immigration to Canada is not that popular. But after the changes, wherein the processing was only about 6-12 months, several immigration consulting firms suddenly sprouted like mushrooms. Most of which are crooked consultants described in the Cracking Down on Crooked Consultants Act.

Beware of these crooked immigration consulting firms. Deal only with legitimate consulting firms like Canadian Immigration Consultancy. We have been in the industry for 2 decades now and have already sent thousands of Filipino workers to Canada.

Canadian Embassy Manila Processing Time Delay?

Posted by Mohsin on 1:21 AM

Recently, a number of our clients has been wondering why they do not receive notice from the Canadian Visa Office-Manila even after the 45 days processing time indicated on their acknowledgment letter. This of course makes most of them worried about their application.

Are you in similar situation?

You shouldn't worry if there's a delay, it has nothing to do with your documents. Give it 2 weeks alloweance before you make a follow up. There seems to be delay in processing due to volume of applications the visa office is reviewing.

The new acknowledgement letter we received recently indicates a different processing time.

Processing Time:

Applications for permanent residence in Canada in the category in which you have applied are finalized in an average of 6 to 12 months in our office. If you have not received any instructions from this office within 90 days from the date of this letter, please contact us directly and inform us of this.

That used to be 45 days.

The same thing is true with those who have submitted their original passports, waiting for their visa. It used to be returned with 2-3 weeks. But now, it takes longer.

“We will make our best efforts to have your passport(s) returned to you with your visa(s) within 90 days from their receipt at the Embassy. You should not make any plans to travel to Canada until you are in possession of your passports and the required visas.”

Processing period remains to be 6-12 months from the time the Visa Office received your application with supporting documents, after assessment fromCentralized Intake Office.

So there. That explains why there is a delay. Avoid unncessary stress. It's not you, it's the embassy. ;-)

A Single's Journey, The Canadian Visa Application

Posted by Mohsin on 1:13 AM

Consider the case of my one client for example.

It is not by any accident that she finished her Bachelors Degree in Accountancy, became a Certified Public Accountant, became certified by CIAT - Canada as a Certified Accounting Technician, was able to find employment in companies like Unilever Philippines, Inc. and Deutsche Bank Group, and get a Permanent Residents Visa for Canada at age 26.

How this client got her Permanent Residents Visa, is due to the following:

- Wanting to Immigrate in Canada, she went to us to find out about her options

- Knowing that her Education and Work Experience made her eligible to apply for the Federal Skilled Workers program, she made a decision to apply.

- Acknowledging the challenges that she had to overcome she set out a concrete plan - to start with her Permanent Residents Visa application while the Immigration Regulation was still in her favor; determine the obstacles that lay ahead of her goal and find ways to overcome them.

That is why on...

April 6, 2009 we filed the application to the Centralized Intake Office in Sydney, Nova Scotia Canada

As a result we received the Positive Assessment - May 15, 2009 which also prompted us to ready the necessary documentations for the Full application Package that we will eventually submit at the Canadian Embassy within the 120 days allowance that was given to us.

The plan was simple, since single, we had to make good use of the 120 days allowance that was given to us, because we have to be certain that it gets the 67 points passmark to get the PR Visa for Canada, under Citizenship and Immigration Canada's Selection Grid.

The key to most single applicants who does not have double degrees in college and first degree relatives in Canada, is to get the full 16 points for the English Proficiency in the Language Criteria of the points system.

Which meant that if the client could get the full points, he will get his PR Visa for Canada.

To achieve this, she would have to get the following scores, per area, for herInternational English Language Testing System (IELTS):

Reading - 6.5

Writting - 6.5

Listening - 7.5

Speaking - 6.5

That is why right after filing the clients application to the CIO, we encouraged her to take the English examination (IELTS) to prove her Language Proficiency right away.

So that she would still have the time to retake it, if ever she would not get the prescribed results to make her application successful.

As it turns out, our plan proved to be effective, because she did not get the points she needed the first time she took the exam.

So she re-took the examination, but was unsuccessful yet again.

Sad and confused, she called me up and asked what she had to do, she already wanted to give up at this point of her application.

That was why I encouraged her to retake the IELTS exam for the third time, you see I knew Jacqueline could get the points she needed.

I did not believe that she did not have what it took to get the full 16 points for the English Proficiency criteria, for the following reasons:

1. She was able to finish her College degree

2. Was able to pass her CPA exam

3. Worked in Companies who used English as the medium of communication, regularly.

4. Had clients, colleagues and superiors who has no choice but to use English to communicate their needs and requirements.

I knew for certain, that with enough practice, the right conditions and correct mindset she, will get the scores that she needs.

With a little push, she agreed to retake the IELTS for the third time.

While waiting for her English Examination results we submitted her Full Visa Package - August 15, 2009 to the Canadian Embassy in Manila.

On December 8, 2009, we submitted, the clients IELTS Results:

Listening - 7.5

Reading - 6.5

Writing - 6.5

Speaking - 7.5

As it turns out, my faith in my clients abilities were right, after all...

On January 26, 2010 she got her Medical Notice

On April 6, 2010, at CIC office we gave her, her Permanent Residents Visa for Canada.

Her application experience may not have been easy, but with a good plan, determination and persistence she got what she wanted.

At present, my client, now belongs to a minority, an Elite group of people who knows a simple yet important truth.

Only you can make your dreams come true.

And because she worked hard for her Permanent Residents Visa for Canada, getting it may have been a hundred times more fulfilling for her.

She had a choice, to give up at the first sign of difficulty, but if you know her like I do, you too would say that she is meant to get the Visa.

That considering her credentials, education and work experience, she not only deserves getting a Permanent Residents Visa, it is part of her inherent rights.

If you want to be like that client, you too should already start preparing your plans to achieve your goals.

If you want to be successful in your application you have to act TODAY!

Tips Regarding Canada Immigration Interview

Posted by Mohsin on 12:40 AM

For possible immigrants to Canada, perhaps the most nervous part of the application procedure is the assortment interview. In a common of cases that dig up to this stage, it might be the deal-breaker: your application whichever gets approved or it doesn't.

It's only just surprising that most immigration applicants would somewhat not be subjected to the interview. The reality is, a major number of prospective immigrants are given an interview waiver. These are people who rather simply make the grade on the point’s requirements and whose individual and employment backgrounds emerge to make them a good fit in Canadian society.

What to do if you aren't one of those fortunate ones? Don't lose heart - a greater part of applicants are in the same boat as you. You will be given a date and time to come out for the interview. If you are wedded, your spouse and children over the age of 18 might also be requisite to be present at.

The interviews are approximately always planned at the visa office where you have submitted an application, so it is vital to have submitted your request in a country where you have no problems travelling to. (This is truly vital. We've heard of numerous cases where people submitted an application to the visa office in Buffalo, New York, only to discover their applications for a US visit visa turned down).

So what precisely is the selection interview all concerning? This is first and foremost to verify that the information you have given (training, experience, financial balance sheet) is correct, and to evaluate your language skills and aptitude to set up yourself productively in Canada.

A small number of things to note previous to the interview:

1. Be expecting the interview to last somewhere between 15 minutes to 1 hour:

The immigration officer will undergo your file and ask for documentation or embellishment on information you have given. Listen to the questions cautiously, and answer accurately, honestly and clear. Get caught out in the negligible lie and you danger your application being rejected immediately.

2. Dress Suitably:

Treat this like a crucial job interview. No jeans, no informal clothes. Dress proper, or at the very least, dress smart.

3. Come on time:

Head out in the early hours, you never know if traffic is knotted up ahead. The last thing you want is to make a deprived first idea by being late.

4. Go prepared:

Practice answers to all possible questions regarding Canada Immigration you could face. You will be asked to carry down documents with you - take all these with any other papers you think might be applicable. Organize them in a method that they are simple to find. Refresh on basic Canadian facts, for instance, name of the Canadian Prime Minister, major Canadian provinces and cities and a like.

2010 Immigration Preparation

Posted by Mohsin on 12:36 AM

Congratulations to all applicants of Canadian Immigration!!!

Here is a very Good News for applicants of Canadian Immigration, particularly for those who applied before February 27, 2008.

Canadian Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, honorable Mr. Jason Kenney, tabled Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s 2009 Annual Report in Parliament.

At the same time as other countries have reduce immigration levels as a temporary response to the global economic slump, Canadian government is truly maintaining its immigration levels to get together the country’s medium- to long-term economic needs.

Canada plans to greet between 240,000 and 265,000 fresh permanent residents in 2010, the similar number of immigrants as in recent years. In 2010, Canada will yet again welcome more new permanent residents than the normal annual intake during the 1990s. The center of the 2010 plan is on economic immigration to maintain Canada’s economy during and further than the current economic upturn.

Particularly, the admission ranges for immigrants designated by the provinces and territories have been greater than before. Provinces and territories are in the most excellent position to recognize how Canada’s immigration intake can be bring into line to their labor market needs. Second, by rising the admission ranges in the Provincial Nominee Program, the Government of Canada is facilitating to make sure that the benefits of immigration are distributed crossways this country. Canada and the provinces will work mutually to manage expansion in the provincial nominee program. Increasing the total number of immigrants processed under the economic category will also let CIC to carry on reducing the backlog of federal skilled worker applicants as part of the Action Plan for Faster Immigration.

Although the Action Plan has been ready for less than a year, near the beginning indications are that it is paying off. People applying now in the federal skilled worker program can be expecting to receive a decision in six to twelve months, compared to up to six years under the old system. Canada has also brought the backlog of federal skilled worker applicants downward from more than 630,000 to 425,000 i.e. a lessening of more than 30%.

The backlog consists of group who applied previous to February 27, 2008, the date the Action Plan took effect. Since then, approximately 240,000 people have applied to the new federal skilled worker program under the Action Plan. But even with those additional applicants, the total figure of people at present awaiting a decision on their application is still 12% lower than when the Action Plan took effect.

Minister Kenney said that before we changed the system, we had to process each application received. Since a lot of more people applied each year than could be accepted, a backlog was created. Now that Canadian government is processing only those applications that meet particular criteria, Canadian Government is making important advancement in reducing the backlog.

Improving the federal skilled worker program is component of the Government of Canada’s overall obligation to modernizing the immigration system to make the most of its contribution to our overall economic growth.

The Government of Canada will go on to work with provinces, territories and stakeholders to ensure immigration meets the needs of communities, employers and families now and in the future.

In an effort to increase the global competitiveness of Canada by attracting and retaining more international students to its schools, international students at public post-secondary institutions will now be able to work off-campus while completing their studies so that they can gain work experience, get a feel for the Canadian labour market and gain a wider understanding of Canadian society. In addition, students on study permits will now be able to work for two years, rather than one year, after their graduation. This second initiative will apply outside Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver to help spread the benefits of immigration to more of Canada’s regions. The Government of Canada is investing $10 million a year for five years to support this announcement.

Study in Canada - The Early Entry Alternative

Posted by Mohsin on 11:59 PM

Applications for permanent residence under the Economic Class (comprising of the federal skilled worker class, the Quebec skilled worker class, the provincial nominee class, the investor class, the entrepreneur class and the self-employed persons class) often entail processing delays that exceed the expectations and objectives of applicants. Accordingly, alternative solutions promoting early entry, may be available by way of temporary admissions to Canada though the study visa route.

In fact, Canada’s immigration laws provide emphasis on an applicant’s current ties to Canada. We often encourage individuals who are faced with untenable processing delays for Canadian permanent residence within a particular geographic region, to consider implementing an early entry program of study in Canada as part of their overall settlement project. Studying in Canada and attendance at a reputable Canadian education institution can provide four important benefits to consider: First, processing delays under a program of study in Canada are short and visa issuance ensures early entry to Canada. Second, it provides valuable points of assessment for an application for permanent residence. Third, study visa holders may submit their application for Canadian permanent residence to a visa office in North America where overall processing delays are generally very reasonable. Last and perhaps one of the least considered attributes is that a program of study in Canada will count towards the qualification period to acquire Canadian citizenship. Each year of study in Canada will be credited by six months towards the three residency period needed to qualify for Canadian citizenship through naturalization.

In some cases, it may be practicable for an applicant to secure a study visa and once issued the applicant can then submit an application for permanent residence under a suitable category.

More than 135,000 students from foreign jurisdictions come to live and study in Canada each year. Canadian employers and Canada’s immigration selection rules both place a premium on Canadian education. There are many different types of schools and institutions in Canada. The education system in Canada comprises of both publicly-funded and private schools including community colleges, technical institutes, career colleges, language schools, secondary schools, universities and university colleges.

We provide service assistance to prospective applicants wishing to seek admission to a reputable Canadian educational institution. We specialize in securing admission to “Canada Colleges”. These are colleges with course curriculums which upon graduation can enable the graduate student entry into a Canadian university. For a number of foreign students who do not yet possess sufficient English or French language skills to study at the university level, “ Canada Colleges” are a good starting option for study in Canada. Even if you do not intend to study at the university level in Canada, “ Canada Colleges“often provide the graduate student with excellent credentials to enter the Canadian labour market.

There are many “accredited” institutions in Canada. Our career counselors are knowledgeable about which programs and which educational institutions will best suit your needs.

Studying in Canada and acceptance to a reputable Canadian education institution provides valuable points of assessment for an application for permanent residence and for a temporary study visa.
More than 135,000 students from foreign jurisdictions come to live and study in Canada each year. Canadian employers and Canada’s immigration selection rules both place a premium on Canadian education. There are many different types of schools and institutions in Canada. The education system in Canada comprises of both publicly-funded and private schools including community colleges, technical institutes, career colleges, language schools, secondary schools, universities and university colleges.
We provide service assistance to prospective applicants wishing to seek admission to a reputable Canadian educational institution. We specialize in securing admission to “Canada Colleges”. These are colleges with course curriculums which upon graduation can enable the graduate student entry into a Canadian university. For a number of foreign students who do not yet possess sufficient English or French language skills to study at the university level, “Canada Colleges” are a good starting option for study in Canada. Even if you do not intend to study at the university level in Canada, “Canada Colleges“ often provide the graduate student with excellent credentials to enter the Canadian labour market. There are many “accredited” institutions in Canada. Our career counselors are knowledgeable about which programs and which educational institutions will best suit your needs.

Canada Visit Visa

Posted by Mohsin on 11:50 PM

A visitor means a person who is lawfully in Canada, or seeks to come into Canada for a temporary purpose (such as work, study or visit) and who is not a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or the holder of a minister’s permit. An individual allowed into Canada pending further examination because a Port of Entry officer cannot immediately conclude an examination, is not a visitor.

Every visitor, unless exempted, must apply for and obtain a visa before appearing at a Port of Entry (POE). All visitors who are required to obtain a visa must be in possession of the visa when they appear at a POE.

The Canadian visitor visa application involves a two-step process, which begins with the submission at the consular office abroad. A person who makes an application for a visitor visa has the burden of satisfying the visa officer that he or she is not an immigrant. The applicant may be convoked to interview where the visa officer will verify the applicant’s reasons for visiting Canada, the applicant’s ability or willingness to leave Canada within the visa validity date and the applicant’s overall admissibility to Canada.

Once issued the applicant will proceed to the second stage, which takes place at the POE where an immigration officer will question the applicant to ensure admissibility.

A visitor visa may be for single entry or multiple entry use. Single entry visas may be issued up to six months before the expected date of travel. The maximum validity date for multiple entry visitor visas is up to five (5) years or one month prior to the expiry date on the passport/re-entry visa, whichever is earlier. POE officers will routinely grant entry for a period of six months to a person requesting entry as a visitor.

In some cases an applicant wishing to apply for a visitor visa has an immigrant application already in process. This area is referred to as dual intent. The fact that a prospective visitor has an immigrant application pending or is even planning to apply for permanent residence is not, in itself, grounds to refuse to issue a visitor visa. A person may have the dual intent of immigrating and of abiding by the immigration law respecting temporary entry. An intending applicant for immigration to Canada may often have a legitimate reason to visit Canada before the residence application is finalized. Visa officers attempt in such cases, to distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants are those who have no intention of leaving Canada should their immigration application be refused. As visa officers yield significant discretion to issue or refuse a visitor visa this area of decision making has come under increasing controversy.

Subjects of the following areas are not required to obtain a visa before entering Canada at a POE:

Citizens of Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Botswana, Brunei Darussalam, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Portugal, Republic of Korea, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Spain, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland and Western Samoa.
Persons lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence who are in possession of their alien registration card (Green card) or can provide other evidence of permanent residence.
British citizens and British Overseas Citizens who are re-admissible to the United Kingdom;
Citizens of British overseas territories who derive their citizenship through birth, descent, registration or naturalization in one of the British dependent territories of Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn, St. Helena or the Turks and Caicos Islands;
