2013 List of Priority Occupations for Federal Skilled Worker Program

Few days ago, Canada's Immigration Minister replied to a twitter question about the list of occupations for the new Federal Skilled Worker program.  Here's a screen shot of his answer:

NOCs O, A and B

It looks like there will be no "priority list" to be expected.  According to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, the new Skilled Worker Program will be limited to applicants in NOCs O, A & B, but won't be limited to particular occupations. 

This is an interesting development.  It's like back to pre-February 27, 2008, only that there will definitely be a limit on the number of applications to be accepted.   If the limit will only be say, 10,000 applications across all NOC's, it will most likely be filled within a week or two.  The more reason you should start preparing your documents now!

Kanino Ka Ba Magtitiwala?

If you are planning to file an application for any type of Canadian Visa, whether to visit temporarily, do business or immigrate, hiring a Consultant or Representative is not required. When to hire a representative or consultant? The answer is quite simple. If you don't know how to do it, you need help.

But who may represent you? 

Anybody can help you with your application. Some will do it for free and others would charge you exuberant fees. Some others would promise you 100% approval and other add-ons. But you need to consider a couple of things: Regulation and Experience.
With a very volatile and fast changing Canadian Immigration Regulations, you need to be updated with what's going on. And only experienced and authrorized representatives can help you keep up with these changes.

 There is a reason why Canadian government and other countries with immigration programs regulate immigration consultants. Canada is serious in combating immigration fraud.

 Experience
Canadian Immigration Consultancy has been in business for more than 20 years now. We have already sent thousands of clients to Canada and majority of our new clients are coming from referrals. Here's some of our clients who are now in Canada.


Regulation

Only Authorized immigration consultants, lawyers, Québec notaries, and paralegals regulated by a law society may offer immigration advice to applicants for a fee. If you are planning to hire a representative, make sure you are dealing with a member of Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) or a Canadian Immigration Lawyer. Otherwise, you may be getting a wrong information or worst, be a victim of fraud.

Canadian Immigration Consultancy been employing a licensed Canadian lawyer for over ten years, even before the Canadian government passed their law about Authorized Immigration Representatives. John Weisdorf, CIC's Authorized Representative and Member of, and in good standing with, the Canadian Law Society (Membership No.08162L) represents CIC on behalf of our clients.

For Quebec Immigration Program, we are the exclusive representative of Vivre O Canada Immigration in the Philippines.  

We both have the Expereince and Authority to help you with your Canadian Visa Application.

Immigration is not a simple process. Small mistakes cause BIG problems. Why take risk?

New Immigration Program for Filipino Nurses and Medical Technologist

While many Canadian Immigration programs are reducing their numbers or tightening their requirements to qualify, Quebec Immigration remains largely untouched and very much in favour of healthcare professionals like you.

In order to deal with the shortages of medical professionals like you. Quebec has introduce a new approach in their Immigration program.

The beauty of the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) is that unlike all other Canadian Immigration programs commonly known, the QSWP can be applied for solely based on your qualifications obtained outside of Canada.  The program itself does not require a Canadian job offer, there is no limit to the number of applicants that can apply if you are a nurse and you are not required to show settlement funds to be eligible for this program.

If you are a bachelor of nursing graduate, under 35 and have 4 years of nursing experience you should qualify with minimal language requirements.  If that doesn’t match your career and educational profile don’t despair as there are many different factors that can contribute to your eligibility. For example, having children and your husband’s credentials can help strengthen your application.

With the impending changes of priority application and the pointing system. The best option for nurses and other medical specialist.

Canadian Immigration Consultancy is ready to help you.

For Quebec Immigration Program, we are the exclusive representative of Vivre O Canada Immigration in the Philippines.

Canada Pointing System Changes

In case you miss it. Here are the propose changes for the FSW application in Canada. If you are applying or planning to apply in Canada as an Immigrant here are the factors you want to consider.

Language Factor
1. Requiring minimum language abilities in order to qualify for the program. The proposal is to set it at Canadian Language Benchmark 7 (CLB 7) for all four abilities (speaking, listening, reading and writing). It's equivalent to IELTS Score of 6.
2. The number of points for the second official language (French) would be reduced from 8 points to 4 points. 3. Significantly increasing the maximum points awarded for fluency in one official language from 16 points to 24 points. The computation would be as follows: 

CLB 7 = 4 points (IELTS 6) 
CLB 8 = 5 points (IELTS 6.5 for Reading, Writing and Speaking. For Listening it's 7.5) 
CLB 9 = 6 points (IELTS 7 for Reading, Writing and Speaking. For Listening it's 8) 

Age Factor
The proposal is to favor younger applicants by awarding a maximum of 12 points for applicants aged 18 to 35 and a reduction of 1 point for every year after 35:

36 years old = 11 points 
37 years old = 10 points 
38 years old = 09 points 
39 years old = 08 points 
40 years old = 07 points 
41 years old = 06 points 
42 years old = 05 points 
43 years old = 04 points 
44 years old = 03 points 
45 years old = 02 points 
46 years old = 01 points 
47 years old = 00 points 

Work Experience Factor

1 year = 09 points
2-3 yeas = 11 points
4-5 yeas = 13 points
6 + yeas = 15 points

Adaptability Factor
The proposal is to change the adaptability criteria to emphasize factors that are shown to have positive impacts on an immigrant’s economic and social integration. Maximum is 10 points.
10 points - PA Previous Work in Canada (min. 1 yr at NOC 0, A, B)
05 points - Previous study in Canada — PA

The additional points (3-5) from Spouse's education is no longer included. 

Education Factor
Education points would be awarded based on the equivalent Canadian educational credential and points would be redistributed in recognition of the credential’s relevance in the Canadian labour market. Designated organizations would work on a case-by-case basis to authenticate credentials obtained in foreign jurisdictions and determine their equivalent value in Canada. 25 points - Doctoral level
23 points - Master’s level or professional degree
22 points - Two or more post-secondary credentials, one of which is a three-year or longer post-secondary credential
