Is Canada's new immigration system simplified or complicated?

Canada's new immigration system-"fast immigration" has been formally implemented for some time. Those who benefit from the new system include those who apply for federal technology projects, federal technology trade projects and Canadian experience classes. For immigrants, the new immigration system benefits two types of people.

The first beneficiaries: international students!

The new naturalization law changes the residence requirement to three years and five years, and the time of studying abroad before immigration can also be converted. Specifically, the time spent studying abroad can be halved and included in the naturalization residence time, or it can not exceed one year at the longest.

The second beneficiary: immigrant relatives!

The spouses of new immigrants can obtain permanent residence status when they land, which saves a two-year transition period.

As of the second quarter of 20 16, the time required for couples married outside Canada to apply for reunion immigration has been greatly reduced. The processing time for immigrant spouse applicants from China is shortened to 14 months, and the relevant procedures can be simplified. Try to prove that the era of "my wife is my wife" will end in autumn.

I am really excited to see this, but what is the actual situation?

The high threshold of the plan is quite unfavorable to international students.

It is more difficult to immigrate through studying abroad than before. In the new grading system, the certificate of "Labor Market Impact Assessment" (LMIA for short) is considered as "tailor-made" for international students. Get the certificate, automatically add 600 points. However, the data show that the number of applications for LMIA certificates is getting smaller and smaller due to the difficulty of application, which has been reduced by 75% at present.

In addition, one of the prerequisites for applying for labor market impact assessment is to have a middle income. It is quite difficult for foreign students who have just left school to find a job. It is lucky to find an entry-level job with low salary. How can we expect to earn middle income in one step?

It is difficult for overseas immigrant applicants to find jobs in advance.

It is understood that if you want to immigrate to Canada, in addition to no Canadian work experience, there are difficulties such as academic recognition and language barriers, and the challenges you have to face are even greater.

Without Canadian experience and recognition of overseas academic qualifications, it is too difficult to find a job, and general employers do not attach much importance to China academic qualifications. Even if enterprises don't care about work experience or international education, general employers urgently need skilled workers to fill job vacancies, and they don't want to spend a long time waiting for overseas immigrants.

With regard to fast entry, the Federal Immigration Department reported that 78% of the applicants invited to apply for fast entry have already lived in Canada, because many applicants who have obtained employer guarantees (that is, labor market impact assessment) want to settle in Canada permanently. The current residences of the remaining applicants include India (6.2%), the United States (2.2%) and China (1.4%).

As for the nationality of the invited applicants, the largest number of them came from India, accounting for 22.4%, followed by the Philippines (12.6%) and China, with only 5.9%, which was significantly lower than 9.9% in 20 14. I have to say that the number of people in China is really terrible!

To sum up, Canada's new rapid immigration policy seems to increase the amount, but actually increases the difficulty and threshold, so the number of overseas immigrants planned to absorb will not be too large.
