- The impact of this general election on immigration. The September 20 Canadian general election, which will determine Canadian Prime Minister, who will serve four years, and lawmakers in each region, will affect Canadian immigration over the next four years, so everyone should pay attention to it. The reason why this general election affects immigration to Canada is that the state is recruiting new immigrants through programs and regulations suitable for each state, but it is the federal government that finally manages immigration policies. For example, the IRCC Immigration Bureau decides and delivers immigrants and procedures to each state, and the IRCC Immigration Bureau delivers them to the state, resulting in a plan to accommodate immigrants in accordance with the IRCC Immigration's plan. And the IRCC will be instructed by a political party that will be formed after this general election, so the direction of immigration to Canada depends on the party to be located on September 20. From now on until the new government is established, the IRCC Immigration Bureau and state governments will maintain their existing immigration policies. In other words, Express Entry and PNP will continue, and selection and approval will continue to produce results. In general, it takes about 1-2 months for the ruling party to decide on ministers and key figures after the election. Since then, the prime minister assigns tasks to each minister, including immigration ministers, the immigration office's policy will officially be affected by the ruling party and state immigration from a month or two after the new government takes office. For example, in 2019, there was a general election in October 2019, a cabinet announcement in November, and a power of attorney was announced in January 2020. In 2015, there was an election in October 2015, and in November, the cabinet and power of attorney were announced together. As such, a power of attorney has been announced as early as one month or at the latest three months, it is expected that the cabinet and power of attorney will be announced by December this year after the general election in September. And another reason why this general election is important is that the immigration plan for 2022-2024 will soon be announced. Since the 2022-2024 immigration plan is planned in accordance with the direction of the ruling party, immigration policies for the next three years will be established under the ruling party. The announcement will determine the number of immigrants to accommodate every year and the number of immigrants to be allocated to each state. And the immigration period may be affected by the budget that the ruling party will apply to the immigration office. All policies are expected to be officially applied from the beginning of 2022, so if you have already received permanent residency or permanent residency is scheduled to be received soon, you will not be affected by the new government's policy. However, if you are planning to officially proceed with permanent residency next year or after, the method or duration of permanent residency may change depending on this general election, so it will be easier to obtain permanent residency in the future. 2021-09-15 Read more >
- Am I able to enter Canada without PR If a Canadian permanent resident wants to enter Canada again after visiting a country outside of Canada, he or she must have a PR card. You must have it. PR cards can be seen as similar to a kind of eTA. Canadian citizenship... Visitors who are not permanent residents must have an eTA to enter Canada via air from abroad. As you do, a Canadian permanent resident must have a valid PR card to enter Canada via air. I need it. The misunderstanding here is that when the PR card expires, the PR status expires. Yes, but as I explained above, PR cards are only needed to enter Canada by air. Even if you don't have a card, you can maintain your Canadian permanent residency if you meet the PR status conditions. Permanent residency in Canada. The maintenance conditions require you to live in Canada for more than two years within the last five years. For example, permanent residency in Canada. He/she has lived in Canada for more than two years after possession, but even if he/she does not have a PR card, he/she will maintain his/her permanent residency as It's possible and you can get all the benefits of permanent residents. But when you go abroad and come back to Korea, PR... Since you don't have a card, you may have difficulty entering the card. For your information, PR cards can only be extended while living in Canada. While living abroad, PR. You can't extend your card and you can definitely extend your PR card after entering Canada again. So If you plan to leave the country, you must check the expiration date of the PR card in advance and make a plan to make it easier to re-enter the country. You can do it. If you visit overseas and your PR card expires or loses it, of course, how to re-enter the country... There is. You can enter the country with the approval of a PRTD document called the Permanent Resident Travel Document. After that, you can extend the PR card within Canada. Only permanent residents living abroad apply for PRTD. You can apply at VAC, the Visa Application Center. At this time, the application fee is 50 dollars. It occurs and the procedure period may vary depending on the situation of each VAC. It'll be approved in 1-2 weeks at the earliest. It can take months if it's long, so if you need to get approval for PRTD, you have to prepare and register in advance. We do. Once approved, PRTD is valid for 6 months and can enter Canada within that period. When receiving a PR card for the first time, it is usually valid for 5 years, but depending on the expiration period of the applicant's passport, it is sometimes 5 years. In some cases, approval may be made below. If you do this, you can extend your PR card in advance. In the past, If the PR card was extended, it was approved within an average of 3-6 months, but recently, due to COVID-19, the procedure was checked. It's hard to predict the exact duration, so if you plan to go abroad soon, you have to extend your PR card in advance. I am doing. 2021-09-08 Read more >
- Canadian Temporary Permanent Residency Program (TR to PR) Additional 7,307 people received the invitation If you are interested in permanent residency, you may have heard of TR to PR pathway, a temporary permanent residency program announced on May 6 this year. TR to PR pathway is a total of six programs that have been announced in six streams: English-speaking graduates living in Canada, English-speaking compulsory workers, English-speaking healthcare workers, French-speaking compulsory workers, and French-speaking healthcare workers. Among them, the most popular stream was for English-speaking graduates, which immediately reached its capacity limit of 40,000 and closed early in just 25 hours. Because of the sudden rush of applicants at this time, 47,307 applications were actually received much more than planned due to system. In other words, 7,307 additional applications were received, 18% more than the immigration office's target. The reason for this computer error was that all applications were received online and when the first application was received, the government website checked whether there were applications received hourly and aggregated the total applications. However, some applications received at the same time were aggregated into only one. In other words, if two applicants were submitted at the same time, the system recognized the application as a single application and received this additional amount. After finding this error, Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino decided to proceed with all 7,307 additional temporary applications for equity. He also sent an e-mail to applicants for additional applications, saying he made the decision because he was concerned that the cancellation would have adverse consequences for applicants who had trusted and waited. However, this decision is not supported by everyone. Most applicants are very favorable to the Immigration Service, which has agreed to grant these additional permanent residency opportunities, but some say it is unfair to elect additional applications, with more than 40,000 initially announced in the policy. And when we first planned and proceeded with the TR to PR Pathway, we were hired based on 40,000 people for the first time, so we expect additional people to be assigned or the existing application to be delayed a little. There was a rumor that we would receive additional 7,307 applications due to misunderstanding of this news, but there should be no misunderstanding as it means that we will proceed with additional applications due to immigration errors. 2021-09-01 Read more >
- Introducing eTA(Electronic Travel Permit) for Entry to Canada With the recent lifting of restrictions on entry to Canada, more and more visitors are looking to travel, study, employment or visit Canada for permanent residency purposes. In order to come to Canada like this, you need to know exactly what eTA you need to enter Canada and prepare for entry. Canada is not a country where anyone can travel just by having a passport. Depending on your nationality, you must obtain an electronic travel permit called Visa or eTA to enter or transfer by air through a Canadian airport. The eTA is an abbreviation for Electronic Travel Authorization, which allows you to apply separately and enter Canada by plane. Once you apply for an eTA, you will be approved for up to 5 years. However, if you get a new passport or change your passport number, you will be able to enter Canada by air after you get your eTA approved again. If you enter Canada by air with an eTA, you will generally be able to stay in Canada for 6 months from the date of entry, and you will be able to live in Canada additionally through a visa permit extension application before the expiration of 6 months. As I said above, eTA is necessary when entering Canada by air. In other words, if you enter Canada by land from the United States, you don't need an eTA, or if you're already living in Canada, you don't need an eTA if you're traveling in Canada by domestic flight. However, just because there is an eTA, it does not necessarily mean that you can enter Canada. The eTA is literally a permit to fly to Canada, allowing entry to Canada after final entry to Canada is confirmed with the officer at the Canadian International Airport. For your information, not all Canadian travelers can apply for eTA. Only travelers with citizenship in countries subject to visa waiver can enter via eTA and other citizenship holders must register visa separately for entry into Canada. In general, eTA applications are simpler than Visa applications, and eTAs can be approved as soon as minutes after they are received. Of course, depending on the case, it may take hours or months, and the cost is lower than Visa in Canadian dollars, which can be accepted immediately at $7: If the application is made online, the application will include basic personal information such as name, passport information, employment information, purpose of entry, scheduled date, etc. The important thing at this time is that if the passport information is incorrect or the name is incorrect when receiving the eTA, it can be a problem when entering the country even if the eTA is approved. After approval, it automatically links to your passport, so you can take your passport with you right away without an approval letter. Because this simple and fast approved eTA is not necessarily approved quickly, if you have changed your passport, plan to enter Canada, or plan to live in Canada, we recommend that you register in advance for approval if you plan to go abroad. 2021-08-25 Read more >
