What are the programs for skilled immigrants in Canada?

Hello, Qingdao Austar went abroad to answer your questions.

Canadian skilled immigrants are subdivided into EE federal skilled immigrants, EE federal skilled immigrants, federal experienced immigrants, Canadian employer-sponsored immigrants, provincial nominated skilled immigrants and Canadian federal self-employed immigrants.

I. Canada Skilled Immigrants EE Project

Canada Skilled Immigrants EE Project, also called Fast Track Project, the new policy was implemented from 20 15 1. After the New Deal, there will be no restrictions on occupations and places, and every invitation is the best choice. Therefore, as long as your occupation meets the language requirements of each item in Canada's NOC occupation list or mechanic occupation list, you can apply to enter the EE candidate pool. EE will screen applicants through the CRS scoring system, and send invitations according to the scores of applicants from high to low. Candidates who receive invitations are eligible to submit formal visa applications. The full score of CRS is 1200, and the invitation is twice a month. The lowest score of an invitation since 20 15 is 4 15, and the highest score is 886.

The EE program of Canadian skilled immigrants is divided into federal skilled immigrants, federal experienced immigrants and federal skilled immigrants, among which federal skilled immigrants need to pass the preliminary evaluation form, and the latter two can directly submit ee applications and wait for the invitation of the federal immigration office. Basic conditions for all kinds of applicants to enter the EE candidate pool:

1, Federal Skilled Immigrants-IELTS 4 6, with an initial score of 67 or above, and at least 1 year working experience in NOC 0 A B in the past 10 years. (This visa is generally applicable to China applicants).

2. Federal Skilled Immigrants-IELTS scored 5 points in listening and speaking, 3.5 points in reading and 4 points in writing, with at least 2 years working experience in NOC B (Skilled Worker) in recent 5 years, and at least 65,438+0 years working offer from Canadian employers or mechanic professional certificate issued by a Canadian province. For China applicants, the difficulty of this visa lies in how to enter Canada and obtain a mechanical professional certificate issued by a Canadian province. As for the employer's offer, because most occupations in the list of skilled workers need compulsory certification, even if it is not compulsory certification, you must register as an apprentice in your province to work. )

3, federal experience immigration-if it is a NOC 0 A occupation, IELTS requires 4 6 points; If it is a NOC B (mechanic) occupation, IELTS requires reading 4 points and listening, speaking and writing 5 points each; At least 1 year professional working experience in local NOC OA B in Canada in recent 3 years. This visa is for international students in Canada and applicants with temporary work visas. )

Obtaining a provincial nomination invitation under EE can help the applicant get an extra 600 points in the CRS score table. If the score is low, you can consider saving nomination points. Applicants who get this extra point will basically receive the EE invitation from the Joint Liaison Bureau in about one month.

Second, the Canadian employer guarantee

Canadian employer-sponsored immigration is a kind of immigration method in which Canadian employers take the initiative to apply to relevant government departments to ensure their employees obtain immigration status. There are two kinds of employer-sponsored immigrants in Canada, one is a federal program and the other is a provincial nomination program.

Provincial nomination is an immigration project formulated by some provinces in Canada according to their own economic development. Different provinces have different requirements for applicants. But most of them are judged by the applicant's age, education, occupation, work experience, language ability and adaptability. At present, BC, Four Marine Provinces, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario are widely used in the market. But there are still some differences in the population needed by these provinces.

The first category: applicants with at least 1 year working experience in recent five years, who are in category 0 or senior technical positions in NOC, generally have lower salary and complete individual taxes and social security; Most people have a certain level of English (preferably IELTS 5 or above), and they have opportunities before the age of 49. BC, the four maritime provinces, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario will all compete.

The second category: at least 65,438+0 years working experience in the last five years, NOCA, Class B ... college degree or above; Bank flow, individual tax and complete social security (or two out of three); Have a certain level of English (IELTS 4 or above), under 49 years old; BC, the four marine provinces, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario also need it.

Category III: At least 1 year working experience in recent five years, and category C and D in NOC. Technical secondary school degree or above, bank running, individual tax, social security, etc. There may be none or one of them. Have a certain level of English (IELTS 4 or above), under 49 years old, Shanghai, Asia and Jiangsu provinces open their arms to you.

Third, the province nominates skilled immigrants.

Compared with the federal skilled migration plan, the provincial nominated skilled migration refers to the migration route negotiated by some Canadian provinces with the Joint Civil Affairs Bureau according to their own economic development and talent demand, which is referred to as PNP, that is, the provincial nomination plan. Different provinces have different requirements for applicants, but most of them are judged according to the applicant's age, education, occupation, work experience, language ability and adaptability, and there are certain quota restrictions.

Four, Canada's federal self-employed immigrants

The federal self-employment immigration program aims to attract writers, painters, artists, actors and athletes who have made achievements in the fields of culture, art and sports to immigrate to Canada in the form of self-employment, and create employment opportunities for themselves with their talents and professional skills without occupying the job opportunities in Canada's job market, making special contributions to Canada's literature and sports.

Application conditions:

1. Have more than two years of self-employment experience related to culture or sports or participated in world-class related activities in the past five years.

2. I intend to be self-employed in Canada, and I am willing and able to contribute to the cultural and sports undertakings in Canada.

3. Reach 35 points in the scoring system (total score 100: 35 points for work experience, 25 points for education, 24 points for age 10, and 6 points for adaptability).

4. Meet the medical examination requirements of Canadian immigrants and have no criminal record.

According to the information of Canadian Immigration Bureau in official website, the details of the federal self-employed immigration program are very few, and there are no detailed and rigid requirements listed in other programs, and the list given is very simple. So why does the refusal rate remain high? How to prove to the visa officer that the applicant meets the needs of this project? What kind of problems will be encountered in the application process?

First of all, two key points are also the main focus of the visa officer's audit in this project.

First, how to prove the experience of self-employment. What is the business model in the past self-employment experience? How to operate specifically? How to earn self-employment income? What role does the applicant play? What is the key role of the applicant's major in self-employment experience?

Second, how to prove that it is the most important thing to create social contributions for Canada.

As we said before, the checklis required for self-operated projects is very simple, so a detailed and feasible business plan is naturally the document that can best prove the applicant's wishes and intentions to the visa officer. It can explain to the visa officer:

1. I have learned about the same industry in Canada and the development opportunities of my professional background in Canada;

2. What kind of business model will you use to create job opportunities for yourself and realize self-employment;

3. How will your major continue or even further develop in Canada?

4. What role and influence will past experience and experience have in the process of starting a business in Canada?

5. How to use your expertise to contribute to Canadian society and culture?

At the same time, the interview is also very important. The interview will be held in Hong Kong, and the applicant will have face-to-face communication with the immigration officer. The content of the interview is mainly the above two points, that is to say, the applicant must have a comprehensive and clear concept of his past self-employment experience, his future self-employment plan in Canada and what kind of social contribution he will make to Canada's culture and sports field. In the whole process, the immigration officer appears as a skeptic, and the questions raised are often very difficult, which requires the reasonable explanation of the applicant to dispel the doubts of the immigration officer. So the interview process is also very challenging.
