Usage of South Asian language grew much among the Canadians

Statics in Canada says that the number of Canadians who speak a south Asian language is increased faster than the Canadian population in 2021.
Canada-immigration-news

Immigration to Canada has made a great impact on Canadians to speak a language besides English and French at home. Predominantly, South Asian languages such as Malayalam, Punjabi, Hindi, and Gujarati are spoken more by Canadians at home says the Canadian statistics.

The possible reason for the rise in people speaking a South Asian language is because of immigration. It’s proven that nearly one-fourth of Canada’s permanent residents from 2016 to 2020 were from South Asian countries, mostly one in five were from India.

According to the 2021 statistics report, 4.6 million Canadians speak other languages besides English or French at home in Canada. Canadian population raised 5.2 percent from the years 2016 to 2021, and the above-mentioned 4.6 million Canadians represent 12.7 percent of the total Canadian population.

So, the growth rate of Canadians who spoke South Asian languages was at least eight times higher than the overall Canadian population in 2021.

Mostly immigrants from South Asian countries move through two popular pathways, Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Program.

Express Entry

Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced the Express Entry immigration program in 2015. This is the most fundamental way for economic class immigrants to Canada.

Programs under the Express Entry pathway:

All three programs have different eligibility requirements. The candidates should first express their interest in residing permanently in Canada.

Then they’ll be provided a Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) based on their education, skills, work experience, and certain other factors.

Candidates who receive high CRS scores will be invited to apply for permanent residency. Every two weeks, Express Entry draws happens and candidates with high CRS score are invited.

Provincial Nominee Program

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is yet another popular pathway for qualified professionals to immigrate to Canada. Nearly every province and territory in Canada have a PNP. It allows people who are interested in relocating to a particular province to be nominated by each province and territory.

To enhance its economic and demographic needs and to welcome qualified workers, each province and territory has established its immigration stream.

A candidate may enter one of the PNPs through the Express Entry federal pool. Here the advantage is that the candidates will receive additional 600 CRS points that assure getting an invitation to apply for PR on the next Express Entry draw.

3 FAQs on Canadian Immigration Part 7: Understanding Canada Through Q&A

Immigration to Canada means qualifying for permanent residency status. Further, all Canadian permanent residency holders are eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship after meeting certain requirements. 

Canada-immigration-news
Understanding Canadian immigration through Q&A styled blog may address some pertinent questions that you were looking to get answered by experts for a long. 

You can go through the previous edition of understanding FAQ’S on Canadian Immigration: Part-1, Part-2, Part-3, Part-4, Part-5 & Part-6 to make an informed choice. 

Let’s begin with this edition of FAQs on Canadian immigration by discussing the three most relevant topics. 

Q1. What is the latest update on the Super Visa program for parents and grandparents of Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents? 

There is no recent update to the Super Visa program

The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadians to stay in Canada for an extended period of time. They can stay in Canada for up to five consecutive years without renewing their visitor status. Furthermore, parents and grandparents can enter Canada multiple times with the Super Visa for up to 10 years.

To be eligible for the Super Visa, the applicant can be a parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. 

No other dependents are included as an applicant for the Super Visa.

Other eligibility requirements include: 

  • A signed letter from a child or grandchild that invites the applicant.
  • A promised financial support for the applicant for the duration of the visit.
  • Applicant should have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company with one-year validation from the date of the entry. It should hold nearly$100,000 of emergency coverage.
  • The applicant’s child or grandchild must also be able to demonstrate that they can meet the low-income cutoff (LICO) requirements. This is to show that they are financially stable to support their family member.

For specific details relating to your case, please consult our immigration expert. 

Q2. What is ‘maintained status’ in Canada and how to get it? 

Section 181 of the the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) defines ‘Maintained status’ in Canada that allows temporary residents to retain legal status in Canada, say after expiry of term or otherwise, while waiting for IRCC to process their application to extend their temporary stay. 

Usually, all temporary residents have an automatically imposed condition that they are required to leave Canada after their work permit expires.

IRCC recommends submitting your extension application before your existing status expires to avoid complications.

Consider discussing specific details of your case with our immigration expert.

Q3. Has Canada increased the transition period for distance learning to help international students pursue studies online? 

Yes, Canada has extended the Distance learning measures upto to August 31st, 2023 in order to give more time for international students to return to Canada. 

During the recent border restrictions, international students were given an option to pursue their studies in enrolled Canadian universities or institutions online while living abroad. They are also eligible to apply for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) after course completion. 

PGWP allows recent graduates to work full-time in Canada and gain work experience to qualify for permanent residence soon after one year under Canada Experience Class (CEC) Express Entry program. 

International students studying abroad or who submit a study permit application before August 31st 2022 will be able to continue to complete up to 100% of their program online, without affecting their eligibility for a PGWP. 

Some international students may not have their application processed on time to begin their studies in person for the fall 2022 intake period. 

However, this innovative measure serves as a testament to the fact that Canada encourages the intake of foreign students and depends upon foreign skilled immigration to sustain its aging population and support the economy. Read this report

Saskatchewan Held Two EOI Draws Inviting over 1200 Profiles For Provincial Nominations

 Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) released the nomination results of two recent weekly EOI draws held on August 18 and August 25. The provincial draws invited 1,297 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residence (PR).

PNP News
Both the SINP draws invited eligible profiles registered under Express Entry and Occupation-In-Demand candidates. EOI draw requires interested candidates to get their profile assessed on a score out of 100 according to the International Skilled Worker Points Assessment Grid. 

The province favours candidates with bilingual capability in both English and French. The highest-scoring candidates are then issued an invitation to apply for a provincial nomination from Saskatchewan.

August 18 EOI draw invited 668 candidates to apply for provincial nominations under Express Entry and Occupations-In-Demand categories with minimum scores of 67. While August 25 EOI draw invited 629 candidates under the same categories with minimum scores of 65.

Qualifying for Upcoming Saskatchewan PNP Draws

Saskatchewan is showing a departure from its usual pattern by holding PNP draws on a weekly basis throughout July. Otherwise, the province used to hold draws once per month.

In order to be considered for nominations under the upcoming Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program (SINP) draws, candidates must register their Expression of Interest (EOI) profile with the provincial authority. 

Candidates must demonstrate their commitment to meaningfully settling in Saskatchewan by demonstrating their work experience, education, language ability, age, and connections to the province.

All the invited candidates must have valid Educational Credential Assessments.

Additionally, candidates already in the federal Express Entry pool need to register another EOI and choose Saskatchewan. 

Route to Permanent Residency 

On successfully receiving an invitation to apply (ITA) for a provincial nomination, candidates are awarded an additional 600 points toward their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. It will effectively guarantee an ITA for Canada PR in the subsequent Express Entry draw conducted by IRCC.  

Statistics Canada in its recent report noted the continued dependence of Canada on immigration to support its population growth. The report projected that Canada’s population could reach up to 57 million people by 2068 and is largely driven by increased immigration.

Report: Canada Continues To Depend On High Immigration Levels To Drive Population Growth

Statistics Canada in its recent report noted the continued dependence of Canada on immigration to support its population growth. The report projected that Canada’s population could reach up to 57 million people by 2068 and is largely driven by increased immigration.

The report was part of projections for Canada’s population growth spanning the next 47 years.
Canada-immigration-news
The biggest reason for Canada to show an increased tendency to welcome more immigrants is because working-age Canadians are quickly reaching the retirement age of 65. By 2030, it is expected that nine million Canadians will have retired. 

Therefore, Canada is resorting to sustaining its population through skilled immigration. At the present, Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan has a target of over 450,000 new permanent residents a year by 2024, the highest number in its history. The Maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and British Colombia are likely to benefit from the increased number of immigrants over the next several years.

Qualify for Canada PR Under PEI PNP

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are designed to accommodate the specific and specialized labor market demand of Canada’s provinces and territories. A successful provincial nomination will act in favor of reducing the time taken to obtain permanent residency at a later stage. 

In order to be considered for nominations under PEI PNP provincial draws, candidates must create an Expression Of Interest (EOI) profile with the province. EOI profiles are given points based on the province’s unique points grid. The highest-scoring candidates are then invited to apply through monthly draws.

PEI PNP Express Entry & Labout Impact category

If a candidate is already registered in the federal Express Entry pool, they could qualify for provincial nomination under the PEI PNP Express Entry category. 

Foreigners like Skilled Workers, Critical Workers, and International Graduates with a valid job offer in PEI, and having support from their employer may qualify under the Labour Impact category. 

PEI PNP Business Impact category

Prince Edward Island also favors the immigration of foreign entrepreneurs to boost its economy. Such candidates are issued invitations under the Work Permit Stream, which is for foreign entrepreneurs who want to own and operate a business in PEI. They required a provincial score of above 80 points in order to receive nominations. 

Further, eligible candidates with a successful provincial nomination can apply to the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency.

The federal department is planning to hire 1,250 new employees by late fall in order to speed up processing capacity. Also, it has already launched a new website for public tracking of the immigration backlog.
Canada-immigration-news

Canada is expected to decrease application wait times and invite more new applications to be processed on par at pre-pandemic levels with these new measures. IRCC is keen to deliver on its earlier promise to return back to earlier service standard of six months for Express Entry programs.

Immigration Minister, Sean Fraser was in Vancouver when he detailed the media about the ongoing work at IRCC to reduce application backlogs, address labour shortages, and improve client experience. 

Immigration Backlog Data to Publish Monthly

IRCC raised the need to update aging technology to meet current demand aggravated by the recent pandemic. At the end of July, about 54% of immigration applications in the system have been there longer than the service standard

IRCC is targeting to process 80 per cent of new applications within their service standards.

In this context, IRCC will start publishing monthly data on their website and share more information in the coming weeks on additional measures being undertaken to improve the current system for immigration.

Right Time to Immigrate to Canada 

IRCC welcomed 405,0000 new permanent residents to Canada in 2021, with a 2022 target of 431,000 based on the Immigration Levels Plan. Canada is on track with nearly 275,000 new permanent residents arriving between January 1 to July 31.

Why does Canada receive more Indian Immigrants?

From the statistics of Canada, Indo-Canadians are the second large growing community in Canada next to the Chinese Canadians. Here comes the question, why do more people from India move to Canada both for studies and permanent residence?
Canada-immigration-news
India become Canada’s extensive source of talent. In 2021, Canada invited nearly 405,000 immigrants which is the highest ever. In this, close to one-third are of Indian origin. Additionally, 450,000 International students moved to Canada last year, which holds half the percent of the total Indian students. 10,000 Indian Immigrants got into Canada under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. And further 130,000 Indians got their work permits through the International Mobility Program.

Indians seeking to migrate to Canada, whether as citizens, foreign workers, or international students, must possess qualities like education, language skills, work experience, and settlement funds required by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to approve the visa.

Another reason why Indians move to Canada in large amounts to get PR is because of the lack of permanent residence pathways in the U.S. Also, the main factor is that there’s a huge dispersal of Indian diaspora in Canada and that makes the Indians feel at home in Canada and think about their settlement there.

In 2015, Express Entry was introduced by IRCC to handle its main federal economic class immigration programs. To rank the candidates from the program, IRCC implied the Comprehensive Ranking System to grant them a score. This score is given based on their age, education, language skills, work experience and such, and factors like Canadian education and work experience add additional CRS points.

Possessed with all the given characteristics mentioned above, Indians easily tend to get the top CRS score and successfully receive permanent residence under the Express Entry program. Proficiency in English compared to other countries also adds a significant advantage to Indians.

Additionally, to help eligible Indians to accelerate their academic careers in Canada, IRCC introduced the Student Direct Stream (SDS) in 2018. Indians who meet the SDS requirements can obtain their study permits faster. Also, the SDS has a greater success rate than the conventional method of getting a study permit.

Both studying and then working in Canada through the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), gives the advantage of getting PR easily under the Express Entry program and other Canadian immigration programs like PNP.

According to Canada’s 2016 Census, there are 1.4 million people of Indian descent in Canada. But the number is expected to rise significantly in the future. To accelerate its post-pandemic economic recovery, Canada is raising its immigration levels. The goal for this year is almost 432,000 immigrants, and by 2024, it will be over 450,000.

There is no quota-based intake for foreign workers or international students in Canada. With the high labor shortage and demand for studies, we expect more Indians would move to Canada over the years. The travel restrictions are also relaxed after the pandemic, so now students can physically be in the country for studies.

Australian Government Will Expand Skilled Migration Cap To Fix Skills Shortage

The Australian government is looking at various possibilities to lift the annual cap on skilled migration so as to target more foreign skilled talents to enter the country. 

Australia-immigration
The current annual migration to Australia targets 160,000 skilled workers, reports suggest the government could raise it to 180,000 or as high as 200,000 in the coming months. 

Through the expansion of the skilled migration cap, the federal government is looking to fix the skills shortages across various industries in Australia induced by the significant drop in the number of permanent skilled workers following the border closure driven by the pandemic.

Skills Minister Brendan O’Connor remarked, “We have to find whatever means possible to supply skills to our labour market because increasing the skills in our labour market will increase productivity.”

Investment in the Australian workforce is our number one priority, but we also have to, obviously, look at areas of acute demand and give opportunities for the temporary and permanent skilled migration paths.

Skills shortages in Australia and possible solutions to fix them through increased migration targets will be the key topic of discussion at the government’s jobs and skills summit, set to take place next month in September.

About 100 people from unions, businesses, civil society and government are expected to take part in the forthcoming summit. 

Australia Posts 480,100 Job Vacancies in May 2022

The Australian Bureau of Statistics noted about 480,100 job vacancies in Australia as of May 2022. This is nearly a 100 per cent increase from February 2020. 

Australia is currently facing skill shortages in different industries like Manufacturing, Retail, Tourism, Tech industry & Healthcare. An increase in the migrant cap will most likely benefit these industries. 

Who is eligible to immigrate to Australia?

Skilled visa to Australia requirements is based on points secured against various human capital factors like age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and more.

Reunite with your family: PGP program and the Super Visa

Families from other countries who got permanent residence and Canadian citizenship can sponsor their parents or grandparents to migrate to Canada under the PGP program.

Canada-immigration-news

What is the PGP program?

Parents and Grandparents Program is a Canadian family immigration program. Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their parents and Grandparents to move to Canada. They are also endorsed to get permanent residence in Canada. Eventually, they can also apply for citizenship.

Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held the last PGP lottery in October 2021. Evidently, 30,000 permanent residents and citizens have submitted their sponsorship applications for the PGP program.

Eligibility and Requirements

To sponsor, you need to be eligible with certain requirements of the PGP program

  • Residing in Canada, you got to own permanent resident status or citizenship or at least registered Indian under the Canadian Indian Act.

You must meet the Quebec government’s immigration sponsorship requirements if you want to sponsor a parent or grandparent there. The income requirement in Quebec also differs from the rest of Canada.
  • For the PGP program, IRCC requires proof of income from the sponsor and should exceed the minimum necessary income level (MNI) for the three most recent tax years before the date of your application. This is to ensure that the sponsor can financially support their family members and as well the sponsored person. The MNI is based on the assessment of the Canada Revenue Agency.

Reports Find 4.6 Million Canadians Speak Language Other Than English Or French At Home

The recent report from Statistics Canada brings forth an unusual finding which reflects upon the language diversity in Canada. The report found that 4.6 million Canadians predominately speak a language other than English and French at home. 

Canada-immigration-news
Immigration has been increasing the number of Canadians who speak a language other than English and French at home. In particular, 1 in 4 Canadians in 2021 reported their mother tongue other than English and French. They constitute about 9 million people in Canada. 

However, the vast majority of Canadians still speak at least one of Canada’s two official languages – English or French. About 92.9% of the Canadian population in 2021 spoke English or French at home on a regular basis.

Statistics Canada also highlighted an interesting trend in the french-dominated province of Quebec. The number of people in Quebec whose first official language spoken is English topped 1 million for the first time. 

Immigration continues to enrich Canada’s culture 

Canadians who speak South Asian languages saw a significant increase between 2016 to 2021. In fact, the number of speakers of South Asian languages grew at least eight times larger than that of the entire Canadian population during the period.

This signals the rising trend of immigration coming from countries like India and China. At the same time, there was a decline in the number of Canadians who spoke predominately European languages. This coincides with the fact that immigration to Canada is relatively less from countries like Italy, Poland, or Greece. 

Canadians who spoke a language other than English and French were more likely to concentrate in the large urban centers in provinces like Ontario, and British Columbia.
