The difference between Canadian employer-sponsored immigrants and immigrants studying abroad

The difference between Canadian employer-sponsored immigrants and immigrants studying abroad

I. About the threshold of application At present, there are two immigration programs with relatively stable policies in Canada, namely, PEQ for studying in Quebec and PEQ for studying in Manetho. There is almost no threshold for admission requirements, and there is no corresponding professional work requirement. Anyone with a high school education or above can apply, and those who fail to meet the requirements of professional courses can apply for language courses first.

To study in Quebec, the official languages of Quebec are English and French. If you apply to study in Quebec, you need to pass level 5 of the local language class. Applicants with zero foundation can reach this standard in 8- 10 months after studying hard, and then they can apply for immigration after graduation.

To study in Manitoba and enroll in professional courses, applicants need to reach the minimum IELTS A score of 5.5. The school will conduct language tests on applicants and assign them to different language classes according to their scores. Some schools with tight degrees will give priority to students with language courses. After completing 1 year professional courses+employer's offer (language reaches CLB7)/ demand exceeds supply for half a year (language does not reach CLB7)/ spouse can apply for immigration after working for one year.

Second, about the accompanying family members.

Immigrants studying in Canada can attend local public schools free of charge if they have accompanying children during the applicant's professional courses, and their spouses can apply for open work permits to find jobs; Canadian employers' sponsorship of immigration can enable applicants to obtain immigration status faster, and applicants and their accompanying families can also enjoy almost the same benefits as immigrants during their work.

Third, about the processing cycle.

It takes a long time for Canadian immigrants to study abroad, and it takes at least 4-5 years from entering language courses to obtaining identity:

For example, PEQ in Quebec takes 8- 10 months to study language courses, 16- 18 months to study professional courses, and it takes about 2 years to apply for immigration after graduation. However, it takes 65,438+0 years or more for immigrants studying in Manetho and Pakistan to apply for dual admission language courses or specialized courses. Applicants whose language is not up to CLB7 still need to work for 6 months, and it will take another year and a half to two years to apply for immigration.

Generally speaking, compared with the employer's guarantee, the time cost of studying abroad is higher and the main policies change frequently. The time cost of Canadian employer-sponsored immigrants is much lower than that of overseas students, among which BC and Atlantic provinces have the most advantages in trial time.

Once the employer-sponsored immigrant applicants in BC meet the fast-track requirements, they can enjoy an average of 6 months of fast-track processing time in the federal stage, and they can get PR in about one year as a whole. If they don't meet the requirements of fast track, they can also obtain their identity in about two years. Due to the federal support policy, the probation period of all applicants in the four Atlantic provinces is about 6 months, and they can get their status within one year as a whole.

I. Employment insurance

If Canadian residents (Canadian immigrants and citizens with maple leaf cards) have been working continuously for half a year, but they can't continue to work because of unemployment, illness, giving birth to children or adopting children, they can get temporary income through the Canadian Employment Insurance Scheme and receive relevant subsidies regularly for a certain period of time to alleviate the impact of unemployment. If you are unemployed, you can receive unemployment benefits equivalent to 56% of your original salary through the government's employment insurance plan.

Second, medical insurance.

Every province in Canada has a medical insurance plan to provide cheap and high-quality medical services. The insurance plan includes medical services, consultation fees, hospitalization fees and surgery fees, but does not include medicines. Low-income Canadian immigrants and citizens do not have to pay Canadian medical insurance. If hospitalization or even surgery is required, regardless of the size of the operation, all expenses will be paid by the medical insurance plan. Most prescription drugs for people over 65 who receive social assistance are free.

Three. Social welfare payment

Social welfare fund is the cornerstone of Canada's welfare system, which is used to ensure the basic living standard of every Canadian resident. Canadian residents can apply for this benefit if they have no income and their bank deposits are below $65,438+0,000. New immigrants to Canada usually do not enjoy this benefit in the first six months, so they need a sum of money to support themselves for six months after landing in Canada.

Four. Pregnancy allowance

Pregnant mothers can start receiving pregnancy allowance at least eight weeks before delivery, and Canadian immigrant applicants have to wait two weeks to start receiving the allowance. Therefore, pregnant mothers can take maternity leave at least 10 weeks before the expected date of delivery, and then immediately apply to the Canadian Human Resources Employment Insurance Office for pregnancy allowance.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Parenting allowance

A baby's biological parents or adoptive parents can receive a child-raising allowance of up to ten weeks so that they can stay at home to take care of a newborn baby or adopted child. This allowance can be collected by the mother or father who immigrated to Canada or shared by both parents. If two people receive parental allowance together, each person will have to accept a two-week waiting period without allowance.

Six, milk gold

In Canada, every child can receive the "milk gold" subsidy every month from birth to eighteen, and the amount depends on the parents' annual income. If children reach the age of five, they can choose to attend public schools in the area where they live. From kindergarten at the age of five to high school graduation at the age of eighteen, Canadian immigrant families can also pay for public education resources.

Seven. Child care grant

In Canada, preschool education for children before the age of 6 is self-funded and expensive. According to the specific situation of the applicant, the government sometimes subsidizes half, and sometimes fully subsidizes, and the subsidy is directly distributed to the kindergarten where the child attends. Canadian immigrants need to queue up to apply for childcare subsidies, so they should submit their applications as soon as possible.

Eight. Income security allowance

If Canadian immigrants have little or no income, they can apply for monthly income security allowance. The definition of income includes pension, living expenses, wages, unemployment insurance, labor remuneration or welfare from other countries. The less income, the more income security allowance.

Nine. Canadian retirement plan

Except Quebec, all provinces in Canada implement the "Canada Retirement Plan". The Canadian retirement plan is a public insurance plan. Canadian immigrants can get subsidies through this scheme after deducting a certain amount of pension contributions from their monthly income, or when they are physically disabled for a long time.

X. pension

The legal retirement age in Canada is 65. Canadian immigrants, regardless of their assets or income, are eligible to participate in the "welfare security project for the elderly" as long as they have lived in Canada for more than ten years. The amount of pension depends on the number of years the applicant has lived in Canada and is paid by the federal government on a monthly basis.
