Registered Nurse=VIsa for Canada

We first met Mr. George Hansen Reyes, when he came to the office to inquire about getting a work permit for Canada as a Nurse. Since our Company is an Immigration Consultancy Firm for Canada, his inquiry was directed to our Sister Company International Jobs Recruitment Company (I-Jobs).

At that time I-Jobs still had an Employer who was asking for a database of Filipino Nurses bound for Alberta.

Due to his busy schedule, he was not able to attend the Orientation seminar for Alberta, until the time came when the Work Visa applications become scarce due to the current recession in North America.

On the early part of 2008 Mr. Reyes learned about the revised Permanent Visa application for Canada that processed 38 High Demand Occupations. Where if qualified an applicant may get his Canadian Permanent Residents Visa within 6 months to a year.

We filed his application for Permanent Residents Visa for Canada last March 31, 2009 to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Canada.

A month and a half after, May 15, 2009 we received his CIO positive Assessment for Canada, making him Eligible to proceed with the final assessment of his application, the submission of original documentation to the Canadian Embassy.

We filed his original documents to the Canadian Embassy last July 28, 2009.

Got his File Number August 18, 2009

Received Medical Notice Oct. 19, 2009

At this stage the Embassy asked Mr. George Reyes to submit additional documentations to fix a problem with his Personal History as well as asked to undergo additional Medical Procedures.

After the problems were finally solved, we got his Visa Notice December 8, 2009 where he was requested to submit his passport, the Passport of his wife and that of their Dependent child.

Last December 24, 2009 the Canadian Embassy sent us his Permanent Resident Visa.

Canada Dream- PLAN AHEAD!

It was early December last year when Mr. Benjamin Jamorabo brought us S & R New York Style Pizza received the Canadian Permanent Residence Visa for his whole family. If that isn't a wonderful Christmas gift for his family, I don't know what is.

The Jamorabo family with one of our Senior Consultant at CIC Mall of Asia Office

Mr. Jamorabo is a retired bank examiner and will be moving to Canada together with his family early this year. His elder daughter is a graduating nursing student while the younger daughter will be finishing college, too, few years from now. Do you know what that means?

Since great income opportunities await for his daughters, specially his elder daughter, who most likely will be working as a nurse, it only means Mr. Jamorabo will no longer need to work once they landed in Canada!

Kidding.

It means better quality of life for Mr. Jamorabo and his family. It means a better future for his kids.

It was December 2006 when I first Mr. Jamorabo. He was already 50 years old at that time but still met the pass mark using the points system. Considering his age and the 3-5 years processing during that time, it takes a lot of courage and determination to come up with such a decision.

Using the Simplified Application Process, his application was filed February 2007.

When AINP Family Stream was introduced June 2008, we immediately prepared his application for the program with the end in view of a faster processing.

Imagine their delight when the Ministerial Instruction was issued on November 2008 which identified the 38 High Demand Occupations that eligible for a faster visa processing - 6-12 months only!

After withdrawing his application filed at the Canadian Visa Office in Manila, a new application was filed to Centralized Intake Office (CIO) on Feb 2009 and received the positive assessment a month after. He was classified under Financial Auditors and Accountants.

It was May 2009 when he was able to complete the required documents and submit the same to the Canadian Visa Office in Manila. June 2009, he was required to pay the Right of Permanent Resident Fee (RPRF) and all family members where instructed to undergo medical examination.

After some delays due to some medical concerns in one the family members, their visas were finally issued December 2009!

That's Mr. Jamorabo's plan. A dream come true.

But what about you? Do you also have the courage and determination to make a big decision?

A Treat From A Succesfull CLient

It's not required, but how could you say NO if a client sent you a round trip ticket to Bohol and requested you to personally deliver their visa instead of them going to Manila? And that the client insists saying that he will be celebrating his birthday and he wants you to be there?

Ms. Pinky Cardillo, one of my colleagues, have just arrived. She was treated by the client to a Bohol country side tour. She went to Panglao Island, to the famous Chocolate Hills and other tourist destinations in Bohol!



Engr. Ene Viba applied as a University Professor. His wife is also an engineer by profession. They will be moving to Canada this April 2010.

Company Trainors are Eligible Too!

You may not know it but if you are working as a Company Trainer for at least one year within the last 10 years, you may be eligible too under the new Federal Skilled Worker program. Your occupation is actually included in the list of 38 High Demand Occupations classified under College and Other Vocational Instructor. And it does not matter if this is your present job!

Here's a proof.

Ms. Febe Bayona is currenly working as a Sales Officer, which is not included in the list of high demand occupations. But because of her previous experience as a Company Tariner, she was able to get a positive assessment and after submission of supporting documents to the Canadian Visa Office in Manila on Sept 2009, their PR Visas were issued 3 months after!

Important News on Canadian Representatives

Here's an important announcement from Citizenship and Immigration Canada concerning Canada Immigration Lawyers and Immigration Consultants related to the Special immigration measures in response to the earthquake in Haiti.

Important information for Haitian-Canadians about using immigration consultants

The Government of Canada is concerned that members of the Haitian-Canadian community are being misled that a paid immigration consultant can speed up the arrival of their loved ones from Haiti.

CIC is expediting immigration applications for Haitians with close family members in this country. No immigration consultant can speed up this process.

If you choose to hire a consultant, your application will not be given special attention or processed faster.[Source]

The only representatives who may charge a fee to represent or advise you on immigration and refugee matters with the Government of Canada are:

lawyers who are members in good standing of a Canadian provincial or territorial law society

Immigration consultants who are members in good standing of the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC), and

notaries who are members in good standing of the Chambre des notaires du Québec
