20 12 Canada's new immigration policy

20 12 Canada's immigration policy has changed greatly

The latest news from the Canadian Immigration Bureau in chongqing morning post: From March 2, 20 1 year to March 3, 201year, Quebec only accepts 2,700 places for investment immigrants every year. As of April 5, 1.400 of these 2,700 places has been used up, and the remaining index will be 65,438. Andrew Paul Miller, an expert on Canadian immigration, said that Canada's immigration policy has changed greatly in 20 12 years. In addition to the above, there are three major changes.

In addition to the small number of investment immigrants who apply for annual quotas, Canadian immigrants are also facing "storm" new policies such as rising prices and the return of some skilled immigrants. It is reported that although the price of 20 10 has doubled, Canadian immigrants have to face the possibility of raising prices again due to strong demand. The amount may increase from 800,000 Canadian dollars to 6.5438+0.5 million Canadian dollars, and the total assets requirement will increase from the current 6.5438+0.6 million Canadian dollars to 4 million Canadian dollars. In addition, the federal government proposed to amend a number of immigration policies in the budget, including the proposal to return all federal skilled immigrants' applications before February 27, 2008, with the number reaching 300,000. The government also estimated that the application fee for returning them would be as high as 65,438+300 million yuan. Of course, there is good news. Starting from 65438+February last year 1, the new visas for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit Canada will last for 10 years, and the application procedure is simpler than before.

According to Canada's World Journal, Connie, Canada's federal immigration minister, outlined a series of new immigration policies recently proposed when she attended the Halifax Chamber of Commerce on September 9th. He hopes to improve the immigration system, make it faster, more flexible and pay more attention to employment demand, economic growth and prosperity.

Connie said that his ideal immigration system is to let those who are invited to work come to Canada within a few months of application and fill the vacancy in the Canadian labor market in time.

The changes that the Immigration Department plans to make to the economic immigration system include: completing the backlog of federal skilled workers, improving the screening system of skilled workers, and cooperating with investors and entrepreneurs in federal commercial immigration projects. Connie expressed the hope that through a series of improvements, the immigration system will be more flexible and fast, so as to ensure that needed talents can be obtained whenever and wherever there is demand.

On the same day, Connie also revealed the results of an experimental project of using community service in the activities of the Chamber of Commerce. In 2009, the Immigration Department randomly selected 2,000 new immigrants in Ontario, Alberta and Nova Scotia, and sent them invitations to encourage them to attend free language training courses organized by local communities. Then comparing this group with 24,000 new immigrants who were similar to them but did not receive the invitation letter, it was found that the proportion of using the invitation letter to participate in the training increased by nearly 25%.

Through the follow-up investigation, the Immigration Bureau also found that more than 98% of the people who applied for language training for the first time landed in the province in the first year. Connie thinks this discovery is very important, because housing funds are allocated based on the provinces where new immigrants choose to land, and the above findings support this allocation principle. The results of the experiment will be combined with the ongoing housing project review to ensure that the Immigration Department can quickly respond to the needs of new immigrants and the expectations of Canadians.

BEIJING, March 30 (Xinhua) According to Canada's "World News" report, the Canadian Federal Immigration Department proposed that before skilled immigrants arrive in Canada, they need to review the education professional certification. Some American immigration consultants believe that it is relatively more unfavorable for Asian immigrants whose academic qualifications do not meet the requirements of the North Toronto area. Some immigration consultants also said that the new requirements seem to be only beneficial to "people who have applied what they have learned, have several years of relevant work experience and have global certification technology".

Guan, president of the Canadian Immigration Center for Studying Abroad, said on the 28th that accountants, investment analysts, calculators and other professionals who can be certified in the world are more in line with the new immigration plan required by the Federal Immigration Department, but most industries such as engineers, doctors, lawyers and immigration consultants are more likely to encounter difficulties.

Taking engineers as an example, Guan explained that the Canadian Association of Federal Engineers is mainly responsible for communicating with the federal government, formulating rules and policies, and studying relevant laws and regulations, but is not responsible for issuing licenses. Once a new immigrant requests the Federal Institute of Engineers to be certified as an engineer, even if the new immigrant comes to Canada through certification, he must submit his academic experience to the Institute of Engineers in the province where he arrives. If he finds shortcomings, he must be further trained, attended classes or supplemented with education before he can take the exam, obtain a certificate and practice.

Guan said that according to the new plan announced by the Federal Immigration Department, new immigrants need to undergo professional certification before arriving in Canada, which may only be beneficial to occupations that can be certified globally and internationally. Take engineers as an example. Even if new immigrants have passed the certification of the Federal Institute of Engineers before arriving in Canada, they may still need to re-verify their licenses in the provinces where they have settled, and they may be allowed to practice after obtaining the licenses.

Because the education system and licensing system of Asian immigrants are not as easy as those in North America, the new practice of the Immigration Department is relatively unfavorable to Asian immigrants and seems to raise the threshold for skilled immigrants.

Yuan thinks the plan put forward by the Federal Immigration Department is a good idea, but he has doubts about the applicable object. He pointed out that if the applicant is an applicant who has passed the medical examination and data review, but found that the professional certification is insufficient, should he come? If professional certification is listed as one of the application requirements for skilled immigrants, the Federal Immigration Department's move is tantamount to raising the threshold for skilled immigrants.

In addition, Yuan also pointed out that there is a fee-based professional certification education. Even after passing the professional certification, applicants who arrive in Canada as new immigrants still have to obtain a local license to practice. The practice of examining professional licenses before allowing applicants to arrive in Canada also increases the professional license fees of new immigrant applicants. (Ge Jiansheng)

20 12 at the end of March, the income restriction order of Quebec, Canada was issued, and 2700 places were robbed. After the closure of federal investment immigration last year, Quebec investment immigration also came to an end. At present, the future price increase information of Canadian federal investment immigrants has been basically confirmed. The US Federal Immigration Act will expire at the end of September this year. Faced with the current changeable immigration policy in North America, it is urgent for many applicants who have the intention to immigrate or regret missing the last bus in Quebec. The change of immigration policy cannot be predicted completely and accurately, and missing the opportunity of application will directly affect the final result. Friends who need to immigrate quickly can choose to invest in the United States. At present, the fastest record for domestic cases to be approved by the US Immigration Service is 3 days (created by outreach countries); If you have a long-term plan, you can apply for a nomination from Canada, so that you can have more time to make more adequate and safe preparations for immigrants.

American quality projects are suitable for investment immigrants.

There are many EB-5 investment immigration projects in the United States, and how to choose them is another topic. The outreach group, which was the first in China to promote and handle American investment immigration projects, recommended some high-quality and reliable projects to reporters, such as the ninth medical office park project of new york Regional Center, Solaris Mansion project of Colorado Regional Center Ski Resort, and Dream Hotel in Windham, Hollywood, etc. All of them are investment projects with less risks and guaranteed employment. The Solaris Mansion project in Colorado has been completed 95%, and EB-5 funds are not needed to start the project. The pre-approval letter from the Immigration Bureau has been obtained to speed up the examination and approval. Coupled with the proper preparation of materials, diplomatic outreach abroad has set an industry record of passing the examination and approval in three days and a new record of passing the examination and approval of investment immigration in four days at the earliest. At present, the investment amount of this project is limited, and interested applicants need to take the time to submit materials. Outreach countries initiated project audits to ensure that investors can successfully obtain permanent green cards and fully repay, and a large number of successful immigrant customers have fully repaid.

On the other hand, the current American immigration bill will expire at the end of September, and those who are interested should pay close attention to it to avoid further policy changes. At the same time, overseas expansion reminds all applicants that whether the materials are fully prepared and whether they conform to the ideas of immigration officials is the key to success. Once rejected, it will not only delay the opportunity, but also easily affect the re-application

Nomination of preferred provinces for Canadian investment immigrants

In addition to the two traditional investment immigration projects, the federal and Quebec, the effective way to immigrate to Canada at present is the provincial nomination immigration project. Outreach countries that have made many successful provincial nominations indicate that at present, the channels for applying for provincial nominations are relatively smooth. Because of their low asset requirements, the initial investment is only 45,000 Canadian dollars, plus preferential investment quota, risk-free capital turnover, attractive active investment behavior and investment projects, which is especially suitable for people with long-term immigration plans.

There are nearly 70 immigration programs in Canada, most of which are provincial nomination programs (PNP). Many friends are relatively more familiar with various federal immigration programs, but they don't know much about Canadian province nominations. In fact, immigrants nominated by PNP province enjoy the same treatment as federal immigrants, but the provinces are responsible for examination and approval, so the relative conditions are lower and the processing time is much faster. Choosing an immigration project that suits you will make applicants take fewer detours.
