Changes of Priority Applications this 2011

As Canada's Economy continue to strengthen. A lot of Jobs are added everyday, as we all know that service industry continue to dominates, but new sectors will be adding more job this year.

The first sector that is expecting growth in 2011 is the health care sector. This past November, Statistics Canada announced that the health care industry had gained approximately 120,000 new positions, giving the health care sector the highest growing rates of any employment sector in Canada. The health care industry will be adding positions such as Registered Nurses , Physiotherapist, home health care, and more in order to aid the aging population in Canada.

The next sector expecting increasing positions will be in the technology sector. In particular, developers of mobile applications and games and web designers will be in high demand. As more businesses begin to use social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, to advertise their business, experts in that realm will be highly sought after.

In the financial sector, insurance sales agents, business systems analysts, and other financial experts will be needed so that companies can continue to function properly.

Finally, both the natural resource sector and the building trade sector will be looking to hire new personnel. The construction industry has gained over 89,000 jobs in 2010 and the province of Alberta has seen a 100% increase in the number of posted jobs in the natural resource sector compared to 2009. This is great news for engineers,Heavy Duty Equipment Mechanics, Electricians, Carpenters and other experts in these fields, as it means more job opportunities available in Canada.

If you are included on this demand jobs I suggest you apply for an application. I believe this year is for the IT people, which is not included on the previous list. You must get ready to prepare so you could have an advantage.

Take advantage of the 6-12 months processing! Apply now!

Pinoy Medical Technologist Could Be Next NOC 3211

Medical Technologist was not included in two previous Canadian Priority Occupations. Before the end of June 2011 a new priority list will be open. As the number of qouta per occupation is needed, I dont know yet. But is it possible that Medical Technologist will be included in the next priority list?

A colleague told me that he has an inside information that it will be. Do I believe him? at first there is doubt but when I read this report from: www.workingcanada.gc.ca


Over the 2009-2018 period, an occupation will be in excess demand (a shortage of workers) if the projected job openings (arising from expansion demand and replacement demand) are greater than the projected job seekers (arising from school leavers, immigration and mobility), while an occupation will be in excess supply (a surplus of workers) if the projected job seekers are greater than the projected job openings. For Medical Technologists And Technicians (Except Dental Health), over the period of 2009-2018, job openings are expected to total 35,142. It is expected that 33,926 job seekers will be available to fill these job openings.

From the projected 33,926 job seekers (Medical Laboratory Technologists), 5,514 or 16% is expected to be coming from Immigration. They can't get the 5,000 Medical Laboratory Technologists if it will not be included in the priority list.

So what's in it for you?

Accepted IELTS at CIO Nova Scotia

Here's to answer all those questions about IELTS Exam requirement. If you visit Citizenship and Immigration Canada's website particularly the immigration section, you will see this announcement:

It's a clear-cut policy. 2 years. Why insist a one year rule?

It's because of this important notice from Appendix A Checklist for Federal Skilled Work applications.

It says if there is conflict between the guide (Appendix A) and other publications, the Appendix A is to be followed.

Now, this is what is written in the said guide:

It says language test results must not be older than one year upon submission.

So which do you follow?

It may have been that the Appendix A is not yet updated. But based on how Centralized Intake Office (CIO) handles applications it received, I wouldn't take that risk. Please note however, that the Visa Office in Manila accepts language test results that are older than one year even prior to the announcement that 2 year language test result is now acceptable.

Based on the guidelines, IELTS requirement is General Training and not Academic. But the Visa Office in Manila accepts Academic option just the same. It actually makes sense. Academic is relatively more difficult than the General Training option. But if you submit IELTS Academic option to CIO, it will not be accepted.

Be guided. Small mistakes cause BIG problem.

Afraid of Cap Limit

Let me share to you a question of a client with regard to her concern on the CAP limit for Immigration Application for Nurses.


stella cabana wrote:

Since my application package has been submitted last December and the effectivity of the cap being reached was early January (if I remember it right), and if this is what cap means, then my application might have been included if no notice was received by your agency that my application is not considered, right?

Ma'am,

Yes the application had been reach. Actually, what your implying might be true. As of now the letter we recieve consist of the following:

1. Positive assessment- which means they will proceed to 2nd part of the application. Time table is 4 months upon submission to Nova Scotia.
2. IELTS Updates- Last week of december we recieve another instructions that "ONLY" General Training IELTS will be accepted, those with Academic Training IELTS had recieve letters for IELTS update, giving them 120 days to take GT IELTS inorder to finally assess their applications. I have 2 clients filed august and sept last year that recieve IELTS update letter this week(figure the time frame). If you did submit an academic IELTS you better be prepare taking up GT IELTS now. Addition to it the coverage of IELTS eligibility now is 2 year unlike the 1 year only.
3. Returned Cases- This are the people who did not meet the eligibility, problem with docs, and people who did not make the CAP.

I know your main concern is not meeting the CAP, to tell you honestly, yes that is a possibility. But, remember as of now we are still sending nurses application to CIO Nova Scotia, those application who made it to the CAP doesnt mean 100% will get positive assessment, they will still be processed remember? So there is slight chance that other applicants recieve by the CIO may be considered for processing.

What if I dont realy did not made it in the CAP?
Let me qoute the last line from the websites instructions about the CAP

" Within the 20,000 cap, a maximum of 1,000 federal skilled worker applications per occupation will be considered for processing each year."

Even if you dont make it to Cap limit of 1000 this year there is still a chance, because after processing the first 1000 applicants they will open it again to process the next 1000 applicants. If your application now is get returned that would be ready for the next CAP opening possible this year.

Another thing. As we all know Nurses is a big part of indemand occupation in Canada there had been 2 changes of priority list and yet Nurses is still on the list. That Cap does not mean that Canada is limiting Immigrants they just preventing backlog of applications, they want to commit on the 6-12 months processing time, that is what the cap really means.

Tell your Nurse Friends that Canada is now on a first come first serve basis, Your biggest assest is being ahead of everybody. By the way we have new program for nurses that is called Privilage plan/Start up Plan. Under this we will start processing your papers for an initial dp and the full payment would be upon the time the occupation will be open again.

I hope I clear your mind Ma'am.
