There is a proposal to make some changes in Canada's Federal Skilled Worker program points system. If approved, the selection criteria would pretty much be the same, but the points to be awarded for each criterion will be changed.

The secret of success in applying for a Canadian Visa is "commitment." Here is a story of one of our clients Orfi Yturralde, a computer administrator and at the same time a college instructor from Pampanga.
Ms Orfi, was a client of ours for a long time. We keep on encouraging her to apply for an Immigrant Visa since she is qualified and included on the past 38 priority applications. Then time came that she committed in the application. Taking advantage of the priority applications. We filed his application and in 6-12 months time she got her Immigrant Visa to Canada.
Now they are living in Saskatchewan. Ma'am Orfi is now working at Tim Horton's (restaurant) and has a part time job as office administrator while waiting for her schedule of his examination to practice her teaching profession in Saskatchewan. Her husband is now working in A/W fastfood chain as a supervisor. Her husband also work as a part-time caregiver during his free hours.
Do you want this too? Dont pass on if your included in the present priority list. Commit and apply. Remember opportunity only knocks once.
If you are not included in the priority prepare your self. Every year Priority list changes so you have to be ready always. Plan Ahead! Noah built his ark even though its still not raining.
White Christmas anyone? This is what often I ask my clients once they inquire about the opportunity of living and working in Canada. Some of them just smile while others commit. People who commit is now smiling in Canada. One of our clients who is experiencing this joy is Helen Montojo. We ask her if we could publish her letter on this Blog and share his joy of having an Immigrant Visa.
Hello,Musta na? We are now in Vancouver, B.C. We left the Phils on May 24 but am coming back in August.
Vancouver is a nice place-- maraming mapapasyalan at maraming Pinoy. There are a lot of jobs here in the health care sector. The weather is ideal-- the coldest is 10 degrees pero umabot ng 33 degrees one time. My husband is now coordinating with Skills Connect so he can upgrade his skills and avail of free tuition. Baka pag alis na namin ay magpa part-time job na siya sa Home Care. Meantime, panay ang pasyal namin. Enjoy muna kasi pag nakapag trabaho na ay hindi na makapag enjoy.We had the opportunity to visit Calgary and Edmonton last week when we attended the Convention for Couples for Christ. Summer kasi ngayon kaya okay lang sa mga cities na ito. Mas maraming jobs sa Edmonton. Advantages in migrating there are: mas maganda ang social benefits compared to BC, more job opportunities, prices of commodities are lower; taxes are lower, prices of real estate is very much lower than in BC. Bad side are: weather is soooo cooled umaabot ng negative 20 degrees at konti ang mapapasyalan. Kung gusto mong mag-ipon at magkaroon ng desinteng bahay --- Edmonton is the place to go. My husband is considering moving there but on second thoughts, kaya ba ng health ko ang lamig doon? Our options are still open.Kahit masaya at nag-eenjoy kami dito sa Vancouver ay inaalala pa rin namin ang eldest daughter na naiwan sa Pinas. We hope she could enjoy the places we visit here. May mga nagsa suggest na mag Student Visa siya para mapadali ang punta niya rito. Query: Does CIC process student visa? Marami rin ba kayong napapaalis? Ang consultancy fee ba ay gaya rin sa independent immigration? Kung mag-e enroll siya ng Licensed Practical Nursing dito sa Vancouver Community College ay eventually makakapag-apply siya ng Permanent Resident dito, para pagdating ko diyan ay ipapa process ko sa CIC.
Alam mo masuerte talaga ako kasi umabot pa ang profession ko sa 38 in demand profession of skilled worker. Effective June 2010, it was trimmed down to 25 at wala na ang mga Accountants, auditors and financial managers. Kaya mahihirapan na rin ang anak ko kasi Med Rep siya. Kaya nga we will try the Student visa route.I have attached some pix taken at Lake Louise and Jasper in Alberta. Wala akong picture ng Niagara Falls kasi malayo iyon, I need to travel by plane. See you soon...
Best regards,Helen

Provincial Nominee Program is an alternative program if you are not eligible under the Federal Skilled Worker Program if you want to live and work in Canada. Most provinces in Canada have an agreement with the Government of Canada that allows them to nominate immigrants who wish to settle in that province. If you choose to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee, you must first apply to the province where you wish to settle and complete its provincial nomination process. The province will consider your application based on its immigration needs and your genuine intention to settle there.
Different Provincial Nominee Programs:
Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)
(AINP) Family Stream
Manitoba Provincail Nominee Program
Newfoundland and Labrador
Ontario
Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program
British Columbia
New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program
Nova Scotia
Northwest Territories Nominee Program - Newest Program!
Prince Edward Island
Yukon
I will update this post every time there's a new Provincial Nominee Program signed between a province or territories and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. On a side note, if you're intending to relocate your business to Canada and need to "hit the ground runner", know that you can meet all your office needs including labels, business cards, and banners by ordering online.
Canada’s Live-in Caregiver Program is a unique program under Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. It allows someone to enter Canada on a temporary work permit, and then apply from within Canada to become a permanent resident.

A job confirmation letter from a Canadian employer.[A positive labor market opinion from Human Resource and Social Development Canada (HRSDC)]
A written contract with your future employer
Successful completion of the equivalent of Canadian secondary school. [For Filipino Applicants: You must have at least two year post high school education, in which you must have obtained at least 72 units of credit].
At least six months’ training, or at least one year of full-time experience (including six months with one employer) during the past three years. [For Filipino Applicants: In order for your training to be recognized, it must be taken at an institution accredited by the local education authority (TESDA).It should six months with a minimum of twenty-five hours per week in classroom lectures must have been completed as part of formal education.]
Good knowledge of English or French
A work permit before you enter Canada
Based on the Immigration Minister's instrucitons, you are eligible to apply under Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category if you have have: (1) an Arranged Employment Opinion (AEO), or (2) you are a foreign national who has been living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, or (3) you are a skilled worker who has at least one year of experience in one or more of the high demand occupations or what is now commonly called priority applications
If you have a pending permanent resident visa application under the Federal Skilled Worker category, here's how this will affect your application and what actions you may take in order to realize your dream of living and working in Canada.
A. Your application may still be processed depening on the Immigration Minister's Instruction.If your application is returned, you just have to wait until the list of eligible occupation changes. While at that, get your documents ready. Try to maximime your network in Canada and the Internet to find a job offer.
In this case, you just have to wait until your application get processed. While waiting for the next letter from the embassy, consider looking for a job offer from Canada. This may result to expedited process through PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM or arranged employment opinion. Or enter Canada through a work permit while waiting for your immigrant visa. Here's how to find jobs in Canada.
B. Your application will be returned returned and your processing fee will be refunded.
If your application is returned, it doesn't mean that you will no longer have the chance to live and work in Canada. Here's an excerpt from the Ministerial Instructions-The list of eligibility criteria outlined in the Action Plan for Faster Immigration's instructions for processing federal skilled worker applications are meant to reflect Canada's labour market needs. The instructions can be adjusted over time as the labour market changes, in consultation with provinces, territories and stakeholders.
The rules of the game have changed. If you are serious about your dream to live and work in Canada, there should be no room for hesitation. It is important that you make a decision NOW. Otherwise, your opportunity will soon be gone and you'll never know when it will be back again.
A bit of Canada's immigration history is in order.
What Does this mean?
