How to immigrate under such conditions?

There are many forms of immigration to Canada, and "skilled migration" is one of the most important and feasible forms. Skilled immigrants belong to "independent immigrants". Simply put, it depends on the comprehensive strength of the applicant's education level, professional skills and language ability to apply for immigration. According to the situation of Canada's job market, occupational demand and the overall development plan of the country, the Canadian government recruits talents from abroad in a planned way every year to make up for the slow population growth and talent shortage.

Ordinary skilled immigrants are the most important part of Canadian immigrants. Among about 200,000 immigrants every year, general skilled immigrants account for 50%, about10-10000.

Because the general skilled immigrants have high academic qualifications and good work quality, they can find jobs in Canada quickly and contribute to Canada's economic development, so the Canadian government welcomes such immigrants very much.

Chinese mainland has a perfect basic education system, which trains tens of thousands of college students every year. Many of them hope to get the opportunity to work or study abroad, but the harsh visa conditions make it difficult for many people to realize their dream of going abroad.

The Chinese and Canadian governments reached an agreement in 1994. From 1995 65438+ 10/0/,Canadian citizens can apply to the Canadian government for immigration, including general skilled immigration, so that many Chinese mainland applicants can adopt an overseas project that is easy to implement. As the skilled immigrant visa does not require the applicant to provide high guarantees, excellent foreign language test scores or employment and work permits of foreign employers, the immigrant qualification can be determined only by evaluating the applicant's professional education background and professional work experience, so the disadvantage of Chinese mainland applicants whose mother tongue is not English and their income level is low will no longer be their fatal defect in going abroad.

Career orientation

Career orientation is an important link in the application process of ordinary skilled immigrants. Because the occupation score is the basis of the qualification evaluation of general skilled immigrants, or it is no exaggeration to say that it is the decisive factor, so choosing a suitable occupation as your scheduled occupation and describing it accurately is the key to the success of immigration application.

For the qualifications of various occupations, the Immigration Bureau has detailed and specific requirements in terms of academic qualifications, professional background and work content. If the applicant does not meet the above requirements, his work experience score will be regarded as 0, and his immigration application will be rejected. This shows the importance of choosing the right job. In China, many applicants' work experience and educational background are different. Many applicants' work experience and even educational experience are related to several occupations on the Canadian Immigration Service's occupational list. How to determine the predetermined occupation that meets the requirements of the immigration bureau has become a difficult choice. In fact, many applicants were refused visas because of their improper career orientation.

As one of the seven largest industrial countries in the world, Canada's annual population growth cannot fully meet the requirements of its economic growth. A large number of overseas immigrants have undoubtedly injected vitality into Canada's labor market. Canada absorbs a large number of general skilled immigrants from all over the world every year, the main purpose of which is to supplement the demand of Canada's labor market and promote its economic growth.

hypothesis

Ottawa, September 18, 2003-The Canadian Immigration Minister announced today that he has decided to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (the new law), lower the admission score of federal skilled immigrants, and propose a new method to evaluate applicants affected by the new law after June 28, 2002.

The adjustment of admission scores is a response to Canada's demand for skilled workers. All new skilled immigrant applicants and all applicants who have not received the pre-trial certificate are evaluated according to the admission line of 67 points. The admission line of the new law is 75. )

Canada's Skilled Immigration Policy

With its many advantages and characteristics, Canada's general skilled immigration policy is attracting people from all over the world who are eager to immigrate to Canada, especially the residents of Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province who seek the way to emigrate, which is the best way for them to leave their native land and emigrate overseas. Canada's general skilled immigration policy is so attractive, mainly because of its characteristics:

You can and must apply outside Canada.

Canadian general skilled immigrant applicants, like other types of immigrant applicants, must submit application materials outside Canada, that is, applicants can submit immigration applications at Canadian consulates and immigration audit centers in any country or region outside Canada. Overseas application is a major feature of Canadian immigrants, which opens the door for those who intend to immigrate to Canada all over the world.

You don't have to make finding a job in Canada a prerequisite for your application.

This is the biggest difference from hiring skilled immigrants in the United States. In the United States, in order to apply for hiring skilled immigrants, the applicant must first find an employer in the United States, and then the employer will issue a series of certificates to apply for a permanent labor card and a permanent resident (green card) for the applicant. General skilled immigrants, Canada, finding an employer in Canada should not be a necessary condition for application. However, if you can find an employer in Canada and hold an employment certificate issued by the employer and audited by the Canadian government, you can get more points in the "scheduled job" project in the evaluation of immigration application, which will undoubtedly improve the immigration qualification of ordinary skilled immigrants.

The application procedure is simple and the approval is quick. Generally, you can get a permanent resident (green card) in six months to two years.

The application procedure for ordinary skilled immigrants in Canada is very simple compared with the application procedure for employed skilled immigrants in other countries such as the United States, and it is also very easy compared with other types of immigrants in Canada. The application materials to be submitted for formal application of ordinary skilled immigrants include: application form, photos of myself and family members, application fee and visa fee, etc. After these materials are submitted, Immigration Canada will begin to review your materials. If you think you basically meet the requirements, you will be informed of the physical examination, whether you need an interview and the place and time of the interview. Generally speaking, it takes more than half a year from handing in the form to the interview, so you have enough time to prepare for the interview, especially during this time, you can surprise your oral English and listening. What's more, your work and study in China will not be affected during your application for ordinary skilled immigrants. You don't need to inform your employer before you pass the interview and get an immigrant visa. In addition, it only takes six months to two years to apply for general skilled immigrants in Canada, and it only takes three years to apply for Canadian citizenship after obtaining permanent residents. In the United States, it usually takes one and a half to three years to apply for employment-oriented skilled workers to immigrate, and it takes five years to obtain permanent residents before they can apply for American citizenship.

The applicant's age allows a wide range.

19 to 45 years old are eligible to apply. Due to the serious problem of aging population in Canada, it is difficult for applicants over 45 to obtain the approval of general skilled immigrants even if they are excellent in all aspects.

Anyone who has graduated from high school or above can apply.

To apply for ordinary skilled immigrants, the academic qualifications require high school graduation or above. As long as you have a formal high school diploma, apprenticeship certificate or vocational training certificate, you have the basic application qualifications. Ordinary skilled immigrants open the door for people with secondary education to go abroad. Master's degree, doctor's degree, mechanic and chef are all eligible to apply.

You can apply for a wide range of occupations and professional fields.

According to the demand of domestic talents and labor market, the Canadian government determines the occupations and majors of general skilled immigrants every year. These occupations and majors cover a wide range of fields, from aerospace to catering services, from accounting economics to news photography and advertising, from large machinery manufacturing to small precision instruments (such as cameras and accordions) repair, from agriculture, forestry, environmental protection, animal husbandry and meteorology to medicine, pharmacy, nutrition and other industries. Because the general skilled migration has a wide range of occupations, it provides an important way for most people instead of a few.

A person's successful family migration

The application for general skilled immigrants is made by the whole family at the same time. As long as the main applicant is approved to emigrate, the whole family can emigrate with him. Family members here refer to spouses and unmarried children under 19. If the child is studying full-time (like a university), as long as he is unmarried, he can immigrate together even if he is over 19 years old. Because the general skilled immigrants in Canada have an extremely important relationship with the job application, only the occupations released by the Canadian Immigration Department that meet the needs of the Canadian labor market are eligible to apply. Therefore, who is the main applicant of both husband and wife should be decided according to the occupation and other personal conditions of both husband and wife, and the main applicant is the most likely to be approved for immigration. As long as the main applicant's immigration application is approved, the whole family can accompany the immigrants.

Citizens of any country can apply.

Canada is the applicant's personal conditions and qualities, so citizens of any country have the same qualifications, whether from China or Chinese mainland, and they will be treated equally when applying for general skilled immigrants in Canada.

Applicants do not need to have relatives in Canada.

For general skilled immigrants, Canada does not need to have relatives in Canada as a necessary condition for application. Whether you can get immigrants depends mainly on your occupation, education level, age, work experience, English or French level, etc. As long as your total score and the scores of some compulsory items in Canadian ordinary skilled immigrants meet the requirements, you can get immigrants. Of course, if you have relatives in Canada, you will get 5 points in the project of "adding relatives in Canada" when applying for ordinary skilled immigration, which will increase the possibility of your immigration.

Don't need other people's financial guarantee.

Applying for general skilled immigrants is different from applying for studying abroad at one's own expense. The overseas economic guarantor must provide economic guarantee for the applicant, including the guarantor's annual income, the amount of deposit and the guarantee of providing certain funds for the guarantor every year. As we all know, financial guarantor is a big obstacle on the way to study abroad. Many people who are eager to study abroad give up their dream of studying abroad because there is no such financial guarantor. In the application of general skilled immigrants, Canada only requires the applicant to show his personal bank certificate to prove that he has enough funds to settle in Canada without resorting to social welfare. For mainland applicants, if they can't reach the deposit amount required by Canadian immigrants, they can borrow money from relatives and friends to open a bank certificate first. After immigrating to Canada, you can find a job immediately, so the loan you owe can be paid off quickly.

English scores such as TOEFL and GRE are not required.

Although applying for general skilled immigrants requires language ability (English or French), this English ability is the actual English ability in daily work and life, including daily listening, speaking and writing. This language proficiency test is mainly carried out by the immigration officer through talking with the applicant and his family during the interview. This requirement for English ability does not require a large vocabulary, strong reading ability and strong logical thinking ability like TOEFL and GRE exams. Therefore, applicants who have graduated from high school or above can reach the language level of the interview as long as they strengthen the basic training of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The applicant's work experience is very important.

The auditing standard of general skilled immigrants is beneficial to applicants with rich work experience, and one of its scoring systems is to score the applicants' work experience related to the applied occupation. The more work experience, the higher the score, and you must have more than one year's work experience in applying for a job, which is a necessary condition for applying for a general skilled immigrant. As we all know, learning English and doing a good job are almost an insoluble contradiction for people who leave school to work. A full-time worker who works 5-6 days a week has little time and energy to learn English well, so it is even more difficult for them to cope with difficult English tests such as TOEFL and GRE, which are needed for studying abroad.

The "Relatives in Canada" project in the scoring system for ordinary skilled immigrants enables applicants whose relatives are Canadian citizens or permanent residents to get extra points. Relatives here refer to parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, nieces and nephews. Then, when you get a Canadian permanent resident (green card) by applying for Canadian ordinary skilled immigrants, any of your relatives above will also get extra points because of their kinship with you when applying for Canadian ordinary skilled immigrants. These points are very important for applicants who are close to qualified but have not reached the qualified score line. And when your relatives get permanent residents in Canada by applying for Canadian general skilled immigrants, their relatives will also get more points when applying for Canadian general skilled immigrants. In this way, a huge family migration network will be formed, and Canada will play an important role as the first family to apply for general skilled migration, because it has created the migration history of the whole family. It is precisely because the general skilled immigrants have the above characteristics that they will attract people from all walks of life and all levels in Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province, and make them embark on the road of immigration.
