What are the requirements for studying in Canada?

The concept of skilled immigrants in Canada is more accurate than that in Australia. In short, only those who are called skilled workers have the opportunity to immigrate to Canada. Come with me to see what it takes to study in Canada.

Federal skilled workers have three meanings. First, skilled workers; Second, it is possible to rely on one's own ability to stand on one's own feet in Canada's economy and take this as the basis for becoming a permanent resident. Thirdly, after becoming a permanent resident, he intends to live in any province except Quebec.

Just like the four basic conditions of skilled migration in Australia, a foreigner who wants to immigrate to Canada needs to meet one basic condition. Only when this basic condition is met can you enter the scoring, otherwise the application can be rejected without further consideration. This is similar to Australia's failure to score because it does not meet the four basic conditions. In contrast, the basic conditions in Canada are much easier. This basic condition consists of one requirement and two supplements. One requirement is that you have worked full-time continuously for one year or worked part-time continuously for one year in the ten years before submitting the application for permanent residence, provided that one or more occupations you are engaged in are specific occupations in the national occupational classification matrix, but not restricted occupations. There are no restricted occupations at present.

The two additions are as follows:

(1) During the above-mentioned work period, the work in this occupation must be consistent with the introduction of occupation description in the national occupation classification;

(2) During the above-mentioned work period, most of the job responsibilities of this occupation are consistent with those described in the national occupational classification, and they are engaged in all the essential job responsibilities of this occupation. If this basic condition is met, foreigners are regarded as skilled workers. Unlike Australia, which must conduct technical vocational assessment first, Canada has no vocational assessment requirements.

Foreigners who become skilled workers can enter the scoring link according to the selection conditions. There are six items that can be scored, namely: education level, Canadian official language level, work experience, age, pre-arranged employment and adaptability. Unless you can get a pre-arranged employment place, the applicant also needs to have enough legally fixed funds, which can be taken to Canada.

Let's talk about how to score first.

1. Education level (maximum 25 points) 1, high school graduation: 5 points;

2. After graduating from high school, receive one year of non-university education, so that the total time for full-time study is not less than 12: 12 points;

3. One year after graduating from high school, I have a non-university degree, so that the total time for full-time study of * * * is not less than 13, or one year of undergraduate education, so that the total time for full-time study of * * * is not less than 13: 15;

4. After graduating from high school, two years of non-university education, so that the total time of full-time study is not less than 14, or two years of undergraduate education, so that the total time of full-time study is not less than 14: 20;

5. After graduating from high school, I have a non-university degree for three years, and the cumulative * * * full-time study time is not less than 15, or I have a bachelor's degree for three years, and the cumulative * * * full-time study time is not less than 15: 22;

6. Master's degree or doctor's degree, so that the total time of off-job study is not less than 17: 25.

The principle of bonus points is a single bonus point and cannot overlap. Meet multiple requirements, with the highest score.

With the same education, but did not reach the full-time study period, the score remains unchanged.

Australia has the concept of nominated occupation, which is divided into 40 points, 50 points and 60 points according to occupation. 40 points are mainly college education, 50 points are mainly undergraduate education, and 60 points are either professionals or skilled workers. Moreover, through comparison, it is concluded that Canada does not have the concept of shortage occupation unique to Australia, and of course it does not get extra points because it is a shortage occupation.

Second, the level of English and French

The official language of Canada is English or French. If the applicant chooses English as the first official language and French as the second official language. On the contrary, English is the second official language. Applicants usually need to provide English or French test scores, otherwise they need to provide a written statement to explain their English or French level. The highest score is 24 points. English proficiency is divided according to Canadian Language Proficiency 2000, and French proficiency is divided according to Canadian French Language Standard 2002. The specific scoring rules are as follows.

1, the first official language, listening, speaking, reading and writing, if any one of them reaches Grade 8 or above, get 4 points; Those who have reached Grade 8 or above in listening, speaking, reading and writing in the second official language will get 2 points;

2, the first official language listening, speaking, reading and writing in any one of the six or seven, 2 points; If any of the second official languages reaches Grade 6 or Grade 7, add 2 points;

3. Listening, speaking, reading and writing in any official language, if any one of them reaches level 4 or level 5, get 1 point, the highest language level or 2 points. 4, any official language listening, speaking, reading and writing, any one of which reaches level 3 or below, will get 0 points.

Take IELTS scores as an example. When listening, speaking, reading and writing items reach 7.0, they reach 8. Listening, speaking, reading and writing items reach 5.0 to 6.9, then the items reach 6 or 7; Listening, speaking, reading and writing items reach 4.0 to 4.9, then the items reach 4 or 5; Listening, speaking, reading and writing items are 4.0 or below, and items are 3 or below.

In contrast, Australia's language ability is divided into four sixes and four fives, of which four fifties is one of the four basic conditions. It's much easier without a second official language.

In addition, Australian immigration law does not distinguish between IELTS categories, while Canadian immigration law only accepts the general G IELTS as conclusive evidence of English proficiency.

Three. Work experience (maximum score 2 1)

Australia has many restrictions on work experience. For example, if you nominate a job with 60 points, you must have 18 months 12 employment experience, which is the basic condition. If you want to get work experience points for three years of employment, these three years must be accumulated in the four years before submitting the application. In contrast, Canada's experience can be scored as long as it is accumulated in the past ten years. Of course, the premise must also be that your occupation (more than one) is a specific occupation in the national occupation classification matrix, and it must not be a restricted occupation. Fortunately, there are no restrictions on occupations at present. The specific scoring requirements are: full-time work for one year 15 points; Full-time work for two years 17 points; Full-time work for three years is 19 points, and full-time work for four years or more is 2 1 points. The above two supplements continue to apply. Australia's employment requirement is only at least 20 hours per week, while Canada requires at least 37.5 hours per week to be considered as full-time work experience.

Fourth, age.

If there is any difference between skilled workers immigrants in Canada and ordinary skilled immigrants in Australia, the biggest difference is the age classification. Canada's age is divided into: 2 1 to 49 years old, 10 points; 20 or 50 years old, 8 points; 19 years old or 5 1 year old, 6 points; 18 years old or 52 years old, 4 points; 17 or 53 years old; 2 points; 17 years old (excluding 17 years old) or 54 years old and above, 0 point. But Australia can't immigrate at the age of 45 because it doesn't meet one of the four basic conditions. 40-44 years old score 15 points, 5 points more every 5 years old, the highest age is 29 and below, 100 points 30 points.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) arranges employment in advance (10)

Pre-arranged employment is divided into four different situations, and in any case, you can get 10, provided that you are engaged in (more than one) specific occupations in the national occupational classification matrix, you can be employed, you can accept and engage in employed occupations, but there is no requirement that you are not a restricted occupation. These four situations are described as follows.

1. This person is in Canada and holds a work permit, and

A) The immigration officer believes that this person's occupation may have a positive or neutral impact on the Canadian labor market; B) This person is currently engaged in the professional work;

C) The work permit is valid when the application is submitted and the application is decided; and

D) The employer provides this person with uncertain job opportunities, provided that this person will soon obtain permanent residency.

2. This person is in Canada and holds a work permit for one of the following reasons:

A) International agreements between Canada and other countries, but excluding seasonal agricultural labor agreements; Or b) the job this person is engaged in will create or maintain social, cultural or economic benefits or opportunities that cannot be ignored for Canadian citizens or permanent residents; or

C) Work related to research, education or training projects designated by the Minister of Immigration for foreigners.

The premise is that this person is currently engaged in the work of this profession, and the employer has provided an uncertain job offer to this person on the premise that this person is about to obtain permanent residency.

3. This person has no intention to work in Canada before obtaining permanent residency, and has no work permit, and

A) The employer has provided this person with uncertain job opportunities, provided that this person will soon obtain permanent residency;

B) At the request of the employer, the Human Resources Development Department of Canada issued an opinion that:

1. The employment offer is true;

Two. Employment is neither part-time nor seasonal; Third. The salary standard is consistent with the general standard in Canada. At the same time, the immigration officer agreed to the employment proposal based on this opinion.

4. This person holds a work permit, and at the same time

A) The above five 1a) to five 1d) and five 2s are not applicable; However, b) V 3a) and V 3b) are applicable.

However, in Australia, there are only nominated occupations in the list of short-skilled occupations (as mentioned above, there is no such concept in Canada). If there is a job offer, you can add 5 points, and it must be provided by a company or individual who employs more than 10 people. The relationship between work visa holders and ordinary skilled immigrants is not direct.

Six, adaptability (highest 10 points) * * * The following five items can be added.

1. Education level of spouse or cohabiting partner

Education level of spouse or common-law partner (cohabitation) who apply for immigration together. The calculation method is as follows: if a person is a skilled worker, the education level can get 25 points (as defined above, the same below) and get 5 points; 20 or 22 points, 4 points; Score 12 or 15, score 3 points. In Australia, spouses need to meet four basic conditions to get 5 points.

2. Have studied in Canada.

Applicants who apply for immigration together, or their spouses or common-law partners, hold a study permit for two years after the age of 65,438+07 in a Canadian high school. Applicants can get 5 points for this regardless of whether they have completed a course. In contrast, Australia pays more attention to studying in Australia. Studying full-time in Australia for two years and obtaining a degree or diploma can exempt you from work experience.

3. Previous work experience in Canada

The work permit holder has one year's work experience in Canada, so the applicant can get 5 points. Australia is not so generous. Only one of the four reward points has relevant bonus points, that is, if you have worked in Australia for six months in mid-April, you must also be an occupation on the list of technical occupations. If you fail to meet any of the other three items, you can get 5 points.

4. Family relations in Canada

In any case, the applicant can get 5 points for family relationship, with a maximum of 5 points.

First of all, applicants or spouses or cohabiting partners who jointly apply for immigration exist through blood, marriage, cohabiting partnership and adoption.

Citizens or permanent residents living in Canada who are applicants or spouses or cohabiting partners applying for immigration together:

Father or mother;

Father or mother's father or mother, namely grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother; Children;

Children of children, that is, grandchildren, grandchildren; Children of father or mother, namely brothers, brothers, sisters and younger sisters;

Children of father or mother of father or mother do not include father or mother, that is, uncle, aunt and uncle; Or the children of father or mother, that is, cousins.

Second, the spouse or cohabiting partner who does not apply with the applicant is a citizen or permanent resident living in Canada.

(1) Canada only regards family relationship as a negligible bonus factor, while Australia classifies people who have relatives as other types, and scores a lot lower or fails. The former are 138 and 88 1 visas, while the latter are 139 and 882 visas.

(2) The concept of kinship in Canada is relatively broad, while in Australia, different visas distinguish different relatives. For example, the guarantor of 138 visa is limited to parents, children, brothers and sisters and uncles and aunts, while the guarantor of 139 visa is extended to grandfathers, grandmothers and cousins, and grandsons, granddaughters and granddaughters are extended to cousins.

(3) In Australia's general skilled migration system, the spouse who is already a citizen or a permanent resident is not a relative and cannot be guaranteed or awarded extra points. However, Canada believes that spouses are equal to other relatives.

(4) Although Australia's visa system is rigorous, it is too complicated, as Judge Moore of the Federal Court of Australia pointed out. Compared with Canada, it is unnecessarily complicated.

5. Have pre-arranged employment (5 points can be added).

The above is a guide for skilled immigrants in Canada, which is a simple comparison with similar projects in Australia. The current passing score is 67 points. It is suggested that readers with a score equal to or higher than this can seriously consider immigrating to Canada, provided that the work they are engaged in is in the following occupational list. Just remember that the normal processing time for overseas applications in Australia is one year, which may be delayed for some time due to investigation, but it is rare to see more than one and a half years. Canadian overseas applications, in Beijing, 45 months is fast, and there are also more than 53 months; In Hong Kong, 38 months to 59 months is normal; In Singapore, 33 to 46 months is normal; Taipei is much shorter, and the normal cycle is 14 to 18 months.
