What are the "im- 1" and "EOI" of Canadian immigrants?

Q: What does im- 1 mean on the Canadian immigrant visa? A: This is a one-time visa for permanent residents to land in Canada for the first time. After that, you will get a green card and enter and leave Canada according to the requirements of the green card, which can lay the foundation for applying for citizenship.

Visa refers to the procedure of endorsement and seal of passports or other travel documents held by domestic or foreign citizens by the sovereign organs of a country to show that they are allowed to enter, exit or transit. It can also be said that it is an endorsement certificate issued to them. Generally speaking, a visa is a document issued by a country's entry-exit administration (such as immigration bureau or its embassy or consulate abroad) to approve the entry of foreign citizens.

What is the EOI in Canadian immigration application?

In 20 15, the Canadian government implemented a new immigration application system EOI(Express of Interest), which is a system to express wishes and flexibly adjust immigration indicators according to actual market demand. The Canadian government did not implement EOI to restrict immigration, but used this new policy to solve the problems brought by previous immigration policies, such as the backlog of cases, long approval time, and the inability of skilled immigrants to find relevant jobs.

EOI system: an adaptive scoring standard, which scores the applicant's age, business background, management experience, net assets, language, business test, etc. , full score 100. Applicants with a score of 60 or above may be screened and submit formal immigration application documents.

EOI scoring system is mainly divided into two stages:

In the first stage, applicants who meet the prescribed occupation fill in the information online, and the system will score according to the education level, working hours, language performance and other conditions. Candidates who reach the qualified score line automatically enter the system. At this stage, if the applicant's occupation is in short supply in Canada, the Immigration Bureau will give priority to the applicant and submit his immigration application.

In the second stage, if the applicant's application score in the system exceeds the system selection, the Immigration Bureau will send an invitation to drag the applicant out of the system, and then the applicant can submit his own immigration application; Of course, if the score is not up to standard, you have to stay in the system. If there is no invitation from the Immigration Bureau, the applicant will have no chance to submit an immigration application.
