Canada nominates over 10,000 immigrants for Provincial Nominations & Permanent Residence in August 2021.

Monthly Review: Canada PR Nomination Draws in August 2021

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Sandy Leave a Comment

Canada needs immigration.

And why are we painting such an optimistic picture to you?

Canada is heading for a fresh federal poll on September 20, two years ahead of its mandated time. In all their election campaigns, major Canadian political parties are rooting for immigration.

If one is to understand the importance of immigration in building the Canadian economy & support the ageing demography, the election campaigning in Canada is not centred on whether the country should accept immigrants, but how Canada can best welcome them!

Canada has now opened up its borders to international travellers, starting this September 9. It is even more encouraging to note that Canada welcomed over 35,000 new immigrants in the month of June 2021, the first of its kind since the imposed travel restrictions to curb the spread of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

This is viewed by expert immigration lawyers as a sign of relief as more new aspirants can be expected to immigrate to Canada very soon.

IRCC held four program-specific Express Entry resulting in over 7,000 invitations to apply (ITAs) for Canada PR, the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) issued over 3,400 ITAs for provincial nominations, in August 2021.

Permanent Residence Under Express Entry in August 2021

Somewhere in the whole nomination draws in 2021, the preference for candidates under Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) is still being sidelined. Usually, foreign skilled workers who have adequate work experience but outside Canada are considered under the FSWP category.

The federal Express Entry provides a direct immigration pathway for skilled foreign workers even without a job offer or work experience in Canada to obtain permanent residence (PR).

In the year 2019, before the current pandemic exploded the scenes, Canada created a record nomination through Express Entry draws by inviting over 1 million foreign skilled workers for the first time in its history. Data from Statistics Canada reveal that more candidates from the FSWP category were preferred.

Canada repeated the same feat in 2020, however, more candidates qualified under CEC & PNP categories.

Express Entry Draws – August 2021
Draw Number	Nomination Draw Date	Qualifying CRS	ITAs issued
#109	August 04	PNP-specific: 760 points	512
#200	August 05	CEC-specific: 404 points	3,000
#201	August 18	PNP-specific: 751 points	463
#202	August 19	CEC-specific: 403 points	3,000

Canada Express Entry is a long-drawn (maximum one-year validity) two-step process.

As it manages the application database for three federal immigration programs – the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), the Federal Skills Trades (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) – aspirants are first required to qualify for individual program requirements.

Such eligible profiles are assessed and ranked on a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Core human factors such as age, education, language skills, and work experience are used to calculate a CRS profile score.

The second step will involve the fortnightly nomination draws held by IRCC. The high-ranking candidates based on the CRS score get invitations to apply (ITA) for permanent residence (PR).

Active Provincial Nominations for Canada PR in August 2021

The unique arrangement between the federal and provincial/territorial governments in Canada, except in Quebec & Nunavut, allows the nomination of foreign candidates separately based on the unique labour demand of each province. These provincial nominations allow eligible candidates to apply for permanent residence.

Further, candidates with an active Express Entry were extremely benefitted as provincial nomination will give them a chance to gain an additional 600 points towards their overall CRS score. This would effectively guarantee them an ITA for Canada PR in a subsequent Express Entry draw.

With improved retention rates for immigrants and employers seeking more immigrants in Atlantic Canada, which otherwise was not much popular among immigrants, Canadian immigration through Provincial Nominee Programs and Express Entry is gaining much steam.

BRITISH COLUMBIA: Over 900 candidates were invited to apply for the provincial nomination throughout the past month. These provincial nominations were issued through the Express Entry British Columbia, Skills Immigration streams.

With the turning of the tech pilot program into a permanent immigration program, aspirants can expect more nominations of specific foreign tech workers to immigrate to Canada.

ONTARIO: The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) nominated 875 candidates in various EOI streams: In-demand streams, Masters Graduate, PhD. Graduate, Entrepreneur streams. Ontario is now eyeing to welcome at least 8,350 eligible candidates to apply for permanent residency (PR) in 2021.

Typically, foreign workers with Canadian work experience in occupations relating to National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill level 0, A, B. Such jobs include Managerial positions, Experts in certain fields, Professionals, Supervisors with graduate-level or higher education qualifications.

ALBERTA: The province held its biggest draw inviting candidates for 396 provincial nominations through its Express Entry stream. Officials from the province have reportedly spoken to media persons confirming that the AINP has now removed the temporary criteria adjustments made to the Alberta Express Entry Stream in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.	MANITOBA: The province of Manitoba held one draw through the following three streams: Skilled Workers in Manitoba, International Education Stream, and Skilled Workers Overseas in August. A total of 275 Letters of Advice to Apply were issued of which 36 were issued to candidates who declared a valid Express Entry profile.
SASKATCHEWAN: The total tally of nominations is nearly double that of last month. The province invited nearly 948 candidates over four provincial draws through the Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand sub-categories of the International Skilled Worker Category.	PRINCE EDWARD ISLANDS: The province went as per its pre-scheduled draws inviting 161 eligible candidates under Express Entry, Labour and Business Impact candidates.

That being said, Canada is still far away from reaching its ambitious annual immigration intake levels of 401,000 new applicants. It is expected for Canada to invite at least over 40,000 new immigrants from August to December to fulfil this annual immigration target.

Reality Check: How is it like moving to Canada in the post-pandemic era?

What is it like Immigrating to Canada Post-Pandemic?

Posted on August 31, 2021 by Sandy Leave a Comment

Nothing has changed.

Canada is still open-heartedly welcoming the immigration of skilled foreign professionals, international students, business entrepreneurs and their families. Canada remains the only G7 country to offer a direct immigration pathway to apply for permanent residence (PR) to such economic-class immigrant aspirants.

Even as Canada is heading towards a federal poll on September 20, two years ahead of its stipulated time, all major Canadian political parties are routing for immigration. If one is to understand the importance of immigration in building the Canadian economy & support demography, the election campaigning in Canada is not centred on whether the country should accept immigrants, but how Canada can best welcome them.

Canada has already set an ambitious immigration level plan to target over 1.2 million new immigrants over the next three years. With these parallel developments in mind, let’s analyze the issues that are plaguing the current immigration system.

Impact of COVID on Canadian Immigration

COVID-19 pandemic had disproportionately affected every sector. Immigration in Canada was significantly impacted, however, Canada increased its economic class selection criteria and transitioned more temporary residents to permanent residence to meet its annual immigration targets. They did it by regularly conducting program-specific Express Entry draws (CEC-only and PNP-only) and other Provincial Nominee Program draws.

While Canada remains on track to welcome over 401,000 new immigrants by the end of 2021, there is a significant risk involving some newcomer segments such as women and family class immigrants.

Additionally, Canada has not conducted even a single Express Entry draws for the Federal Skills Worker Program (FSWP) candidates. The FSWP is the most preferred direct immigration program among skilled foreign workers with work experience and who wish to apply for permanent residence.

With Canada doing away with most of the travel restrictions measures, immigrant aspirants can soon expect an all-program Express Entry, considering FSWP candidates for PR nominations.

Check out our previous blog >> How will travel relaxations aid immigration to Canada?

Innovation from Canada Provincial Nominee Programs

Canada PNPs have shown more resilience in inviting new immigrants to apply for provincial nomination. They held industry and occupation-specific draws that are meant to respond to very specific labour market needs. Since February 2021, British Columbia PNP has been issuing specific provincial draws. The same approach is followed by Ontario PNP & Saskatchewan PNP.

Canada may follow this new approach in its Express Entry draws which will help address skilled worker shortages in key areas across Canada such as in technology, health care, and agri-food.

Those immigrant aspirants who wish to count their self-employed work experience within Canada to apply under Express Entry still remain difficult as Immigrant, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada still believes it is difficult to verify self-employment in Canada.

Check out how all major political parties in Canada are rooting for immigration.

Coming to the immigration of international students, Canada is open to the entry of international students for the upcoming fall semester, ie. September-December. Canadian public universities are also open to receiving new admissions from international students to immigrate to Canada next year.

Top 12 in-demand occupations skills required to immigrate to Alberta.

Demand for Immigration in Alberta Increases, New Applications for Canadian Immigration Open!

Posted on August 4, 2021 by Sandy Leave a Comment

Good news for immigrants as a recent study finds increased demand in certain Alberta occupations, fueled by labour shortage due to COVID.

As a part of a government measure to analyze the impact of COVID-19 related restrictions on each province/territory, we focus on the increased opportunity for aspirants immigrants to take advantage of the labour shortage demand in Alberta.

Here we have summarised the top 12 in-demand occupations in Alberta that could fuel more immigrants to apply for provincial nominations, leading to permanent residency.

Computer and information systems managers (NOC 0213)	Employment insurance, immigration, border services and revenue officers (NOC 1228)	Information systems analysts and consultants (NOC 2171)
Database analysts and data administrators (NOC 2172)	Software engineers and designers (NOC 2173)	Construction inspectors (NOC 2264)
Nursing co-ordinators and supervisors (NOC 3011)	Pharmacists (NOC 3131)	Family, marriage and other related counsellors (NOC 4153)
Health policy researchers, consultants and program officers (NOC 4165)	Social and community service workers (NOC 4212)	Contractors and supervisors, other construction trades, installers, repairers and servicers (NOC 7205

Among the top 12 in-demand occupations in Alberta, tech-based occupations like Computer and information systems managers, Software engineers and designers, Database analysts and data administrators, Information systems analysts and consultants are mostly employer-based immigration programs. However, interested candidates can immigrate to Canada based on their previous work experience and then look out for jobs in the local market.

The healthcare-based occupations would mostly require foreign aspirants to undergo bridge programs before they could qualify to work in Canada. Mount Royal University is expanding its Bridge to Canadian Nursing program to train more international nurses. The 10 to 14-month-long programs will allow guide international immigrants on the path to begin practising in Alberta.

Most immigration aspirants prefer to gain a graduation certificate from any Canadian institution. This helps them obtain the mandatory “Canadian experience” to obtain Canada PR. It helps them qualify for Canada PR in less than 6 years from the time they first received their study permit.

While the federal government provides an interactive online tool to benefit job seekers to view the trends in their own occupations of interest, you can meet our immigration lawyers to get customized information depending on your job profile.

Immigration Options to Alberta

You do not necessarily need a job offer to apply for Canadian immigration, however, skilled work experience goes a long way toward an immigration application and increases your earning potential.

Canadian immigration is simple and less complicated than most other countries. The federal government runs three high-skilled-based work programs, managed by the Express Entry system. One may stand a chance to obtain permanent residence in Canada by getting nominated to apply under Express Entry.

Express Entry manages the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skills Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Canada has kept these streams active as Express Entry-managed programs are expected to account for 108,500 new permanent residents in 2021.

Another significant option to qualify for Canadian immigration is through Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP). Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) popularly nominated eligible immigrant aspirants to apply for provincial nominations through:

Alberta Express Entry Stream,
Alberta Opportunity Stream,

AINP is known to hold regular nomination draws inviting eligible candidates to apply for provincial nominations. Upon receiving a successful provincial nomination, such candidates are assured of permanent residency invitation in the subsequent Express Entry draw.

If you seek to Immigrate to the UK as a caregiver, you are in luck! This profession is in high demand throughout the United Kingdom, and after five years of residency, you will be eligible for a UK Permanent Residency Visa.

Caregiver, what does it mean?

When everyday struggles affect someone’s independence, a caregiver becomes essential for normal functioning and assisting them with doing what they need to “get by.” When the position of caregiver falls on-at-home caregivers or working family members (who may still have other family members or children to care for), the task may become challenging.

“There are only four kinds of people in the world. Those who have been caregivers. Those who are currently caregivers. Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need a caregiver.”

― Rosalyn Carter, Former First Lady of the United States

Caregiver exhaustion is a significant problem for families and friends who are taking on so much responsibility. Professional caregivers are a common choice for supplementing the kindness and treatment so many people choose to have for their loved ones.

Nursing Home caregiver requirements in the United Kingdom:

Eligibility:

: ANM/GNM/BSC Nursing
: IELTS 5 bands+ (Individual 5.0) or OET C Grade : Male/Female
: Minimum One year of Experience
: Age till 44 Years

We will assist you from the beginning of the process till the end, and the contract is for three years. The spouse can go after three months as a dependent and can work full time. The processing time takes from 3 – 5 months.

Some of the responsibilities of a caregiver are mentioned below:

Many people who receive care have survived their abilities to care for themselves and benefit from a caregiver’s help.

Providing emotional support and motivation to complete necessary tasks.
Assuring that the client’s home is arranged to meet their needs and that safety precautions are taken.
Improvements in wellness, behaviour, and needs are monitored.
Following a doctors advice, which could include helping in fitness and medication administration.

We are delighted to provide the best immigration services to those seeking to start a new life in another country. Our knowledgeable advisors will assist you in planning every aspect of your foreign tour. CanApprove team is standing by to help you. Contact us now!

Canada PR options for an Early Childhood Educator

Canada offers multiple options for prospective immigration candidates to study, work, and settle permanently.

We’ve listed the top 4 ways for you to migrate to Canada as an early childhood educator:

Express Entry system;

Provincial Nominee Program;

Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot; and

Atlantic Immigration Pilot.

Express Entry System

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) manages applications for three federal immigration programs, namely the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skills Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canada Experience Class (CEC).

Early childhood educators are classified as level B as per the National Occupation List, making them eligible to qualify and apply for any program under the Express entry system.

The points-based system assesses every registered profile on age, education, work experience, and language proficiency in English or French. The evaluated profiles are further ranked following the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

IRCC conducts Express Entry nomination draws every fortnight to issue invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residency to the highest-ranking candidates.

Provincial Nominee Program

The job prospects of Early Childhood Educators are extremely demanding in provinces like Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Yukon Territory.

Other immigration-heavy provinces like Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta have fair chances of employment as Early Childhood Educators.

Top Canadian Provinces That Need Early Childhood Educators & Assistants
Province	Immigration Stream
Manitoba	Manitoba Skilled Worker Overseas Stream
Nova Scotia	Labour Market Priorities Stream
Prince Edward Island	Express Entry & Labour Impact Categories

Candidates with an active Express Entry profile are at a distinct advantage after securing a provincial nomination. They get 600 additional points summing up with their overall CRS score. This will effectively guarantee them an invitation to apply for permanent residency in subsequent federal draws.

Rural & Northern Immigration Pilot

Foreign skilled workers with a valid job offer in one of the participating communities in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia can qualify for immigration. Early Childhood Educator as an occupation is in high demand in Manitoba & Saskatchewan. Applying through RNIP may improve your chances of qualification.

Being an employer-specific pilot, applicants must show their intent to live in the community. All other requirements include work experience, language proficiency, minimum education criteria, and proof of financial stability.

Atlantic Immigration Pilot

An extension of RNIP is the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program (AIPP) which focuses on the immigration of foreign skilled workers in the Atlantic region of Canada. It includes New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

Latest Canada Immigration Options For Human Resource & Admin Managers

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Sandy Leave a Comment

Harsh truth needs to be told first.

No Canadian company will simply hire a foreign individual as their HR manager unless the aspirants can demonstrate a thorough understanding of Canadian labor laws and related provisions.

However, this should not serve as a deterrent for foreign talents to prevent them from applying for Canadian immigration. Canada selects immigrants based on economic contribution and humanitarian needs, as well as for family reunification. The country’s ageing demography and low birth rate coupled with losses due to pandemic have made it rely on foreign immigration even more today.

Here are some reasons why any foreign talent, in our case Human Resources (HR) Managers, should consider migrating to Canada for their career growth and better life chances.

Historic Immigration Levels Target: Canada sets targets for the number of immigrants it receives in each immigration category. These targets are set in consultation with the general public, various community and business organizations, provinces and territories, and settlement support groups.

Over 1.2 million new immigrants are expected to be welcomed in the next three years. The target for 2021 is to admit 401,000 immigrants. Of these, approximately 60 per cent will come to Canada as economic immigrants, helping to support Canada’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Easy Option for Permanent Residence: Canada remains to be one of the fewest advanced economies to offer permanent residence certificates to foreign immigrants even without a job offer. This is why several economic class aspirants including skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, international students prefer to work & settle in Canada. Even so, Canadian PR holders may qualify for citizenship after fulfilling residence criteria.

Get in touch with our experts to suggest you an immigration plan based on your work profile.

Opportunities in Regional Areas of Canada: Even a recent study has outlined an increased level of immigration to regional areas of Canada in recent years. Many of Canada’s export industries including agriculture and fish processing regularly hire international workers for short-term or longer periods. There’s also a prominently growing tech sector in the country that demands skilled talent in the field of engineering, software/IT, finance & business management.

Other regional destinations apart from major cities like Toronto, Montreal, Quebec is the regions of Regina and Saskatoon in Saskatchewan, Halifax, Charlottetown, Fredericton, Moncton, Swift Current, Winkler, Steinbach, Brandon, Thompson, Brooks, High River, and Wood Buffalo. Further, recent studies have indicated increased retention rates among immigrants in various such areas in Canada.

Canadian Economy is Built on Immigration: Canada’s recognition of the contribution of migrants as part of a new global campaign, “It Takes a Community”, highlights the many positive ways that migrants can impact local communities.

The global campaign to include sharing of their stories and speaking up about how Canada has played a role in migrants’ lives tells a lot about how the country’s economy is dependent on immigration.

Best Canada PR Immigration Options For Human Resources & Admin Managers

Fastest Option- Express Entry System:

Express Entry that began in 2015 is a federal database of immigration candidates that handle applications for three federal immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canada Experience Class (CEC).

Candidates are evaluated on human capital factors such as age, work experience, education, language proficiency, spouse adaptability (if applicable) and are scored based on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Anyone need not have a valid job offer before applying for Canada PR under FSWP.

Only the highest-scoring candidates are issued invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residence through the fortnightly Express Entry draws conducted by IRCC. However, you may still immigrate to Canada even with low CRS. Read this blog to know more.

Provincial Nominee Programs:
