- How should I prepare for immigration to Canada? State and Federal Immigration Program The most frequently asked question before preparing for permanent residency in Canada is which area can receive permanent residency more easily and quickly. Canada is a federal state with 10 states and 3 territories, and immigration programs are divided into federal immigration programs that can be done anywhere in Canada and state immigration programs that are implemented in each state. That's why each state immigration program has different characteristics and conditions, which leads to a lot of inquiries about which state is the fastest and easiest to proceed with permanent residency. However, the easiest and fastest way to get a state green card is not the same for everyone, but it will be applied differently for each applicant. For example, if you graduate from a university in Canada, if you have a family in Canada, or if you work in a particular job, you may receive different benefits from region to region. If we divide the conditions into three main categories, we can divide them into occupations, language skills, and residence records. First, if you have a specific technical background and a job offer in Canada, it's a good idea to look at the British Columbia Tech-pilot permanent residency program. Tech pilot permanent residency programs are available only in British Columbia, and the advantage is that engineers in a particular 29 occupations are able to easily proceed with permanent residency on a lower condition, and the duration of the procedure is also faster than other immigration programs. Or, if you have experience as a computer engineer or web designer, you can easily proceed with permanent residency through the Ontario Immigration Program. British Columbia and Ontario are cities where more than 60% of the total immigrants settle each year, making it easier to immigrate to British Columbia and Ontario if you have a specific technical background. Second, there is a way to proceed with permanent residency according to French ability. Canada uses English and French as its first language, and Quebec and Ontario allow it to proceed more easily than permanent residency. Of course, if you speak French well, you can get additional points not only for state immigration but also for Federal Immigration Express Entry. Finally, if you already live in Canada, the state that currently resides in a state determines which immigration is more advantageous. If Manitoba has no record of living in another state and Manitoba has settled down from the start and has an academic or career experience, this is a big benefit. Since there are at least three to four state programs in each state and as many as ten, there may be more suitable programs for applicants than those mentioned above. And if you proceed with federal immigration, (EE) Express Entry, family-in-home immigration, and self-employed immigration, the terms of permanent residency are the same, regardless of region. Also, there may be areas where permanent residency is easier for individuals, but don't forget that this can also be achieved through the applicant's academic background, career, language score and patience, so always try. Therefore, I would like to recommend that you find areas where permanent residency is possible and at the same time establish a living place for various reasons such as natural environment, children's education, welfare, and retirement, which were originally for immigration purposes. 2020-09-16 Read more >
- You can work without SIN number After COVID-19 Pandemic Service Canada announcement for new policy of SIN If you have a resident registration number in Korea, there is a social insurance number called SIN in Canada. This Social Insurance Number (SIN) is a required number to work for wages in Canada. In other words, without a SIN, you cannot work and earn your salary legally after you get a job in Canada. Since the SIN is a 9-digit number used for identification purposes and is used for tax reporting and government identification, it is illegal to use someone else's number, and the employer must collect the employee's SIN and personal information after hiring the employee, issue the salary, and report the tax to the government. For SINs, Canadian citizens, permanent residents, work Permit holders and Study Permit holders who have legal status to work in Canada may be issued through Service Canada. However, recently, it was difficult to get it issued by Service Canada due to COVID-19 and it was difficult to get proper wages, so the Immigration Bureau announced a new revision. The Canadian Immigration Service has stated that Canadian employers may also pay employees with work permits or student permits that have not yet been issued a SIN. You don't need a SIN when you first get hired and you can pay. However, employees are still required to apply for a SIN within three days of starting employment and to deliver it to the employer within three days of receipt. As the immigration office has allowed us to pay without SIN, we can check further to see if the related wage payment is going well. Those who are identified will be examined by three main reasons: employers suspected of non-compliance, employers identified as non-compliance in the past, and finally random selection. The validity period of the examination can be achieved at any time within six years of the first employment of the employee, and if the employee is treated unfairly at work, or if the employee has received a work permit through LMIA, you will see that he is following the rules of the initial LMIA application. For example, if you work for the company that issued the LMIA, whether you are doing the right job, and whether your paycheck is smooth. As this is valid for the first six years of employment, employers must ensure that the relevant documents are maintained for six years and that payments can be made without a SIN. 2020-09-09 Read more >
- Announcement of new measures for PGWP applicants With COVID-19 in vogue, new measures have been introduced for applicants seeking employment through Post-Graduation Work Permit in Canada. Post-Gradiation Work Permit (PGWP) is a program that helps you get open work permits for up to three years after graduating from a Canadian school, build your career in Canada, return to your home country, or proceed with immigration to Canada. PGWP helped so many students that there were students who deliberately started and graduated from Canada to receive this PGWP, so Canada had a lot of difficulty in applying for PGWP without abusing these benefits. For example, if you completed the program part-time rather than full-time during the semester, you were not eligible to apply for PGWP, and you could not apply for PGWP if you graduated from other departments because there were schools or schools that could apply for PGWP. Also, it was not possible to apply for PGWP even if I completed online class. However, the above three measures have been implemented because the COVID-19 trend could affect the PGWP application. The first measure now allows students to take classes online from abroad until April 30, 2021, and even if they take classes online from abroad, they will not affect PGWP. However, the next time you finish more than 50% of your studies in Canada after online classes, you will be able to meet the PGWP qualifications. The second measure is that students who started classes between May and September 2020 can proceed and complete classes online, and then apply for PGWP. However, the class period is only applicable for 8-12 months of the program. In other words, if you are a student enrolled in an 8-12 month program that begins between May and September 2020, you will be able to apply for PGWP the next time you take classes online. The third last action is to allow PGWP to be approved by adding up all academic periods when a student who has started classes between May and September 2020 has completed an online class and has graduated from one or more programs. However, at this time, more than 50% of classes should have been completed in Canada. For example, if we started one program in August 2020 and completed another eight-month program in Canada by April 2021, we decided to approve PGWP based on the 16-month period of two eight-month programs. The government's latest move comes as many international students are currently unable to enter Canada due to the recent covid-19 entry restrictions, forcing them to conduct online classes. Due to this measure, even if you complete the program through online classes, you will be able to open it so that you can apply for PGWP next time, which will help international students a lot. Canada's Immigration Bureau announced that Canada's covid-19 related regulations will be eased based on coronavirus control in Canada and abroad, and said it will continue to keep an eye on Canadian and international conditions as it seeks further changes. 2020-09-02 Read more >
- Is the LMIA going on normally even after the Corona crisis? LMIA is often required by the majority of applicants for work Permit in Canada or for permanent residency. The most basic purpose of LMIA is to provide support from Service Canada for local employers in Canada to hire foreign workers to meet the shortfall if they are unable to meet their local workforce. In other words, if a Canadian employer can fill the shortage of enough people in Canada, namely Canadian citizens and permanent residents, Service Canada will not consider the Canadian employer's LMIA progress required. So what does Service Canada use to determine that there is enough manpower in Canada? At this point, it is Canada's unemployment rate that sets of unemployment. Due to the recent prolonged COVID-19 crisis, more businesses are closing down, which is causing economic losses and unemployment in Canada to soar. In addition, the Canadian government has extended the closure of the U.S. border by another month until September 21, suggesting a prolonged COVID-19 crisis, while also indicating that it may take time for the Canadian economy to normalize. So, is LMIA still going on at this point? First of all, the LMIA has been going on and getting approval recently. More precisely, LMIA applications and progress remained the same from the time the pandemics were issued to April due to the March COVI-19. However, LMIA stopped for a while until May and mid-June, and from mid-June to now August, LMIA documents can be received, and interviews and approval are proceeding smoothly. I personally feel that the LMIA interview is simpler than before and the approval rate is higher. However, there are still LMIA sanctions regarding a few professions of non-skilled and unskilled workers, so you have to check and prepare this part before applying. To explain how to proceed with LMIA and the procedure period again, for LMIA applications, we will proceed with 28 days of job openings and apply after preparing LMIA documents. After LMIA registration, recently, Service Canada will contact your employer for an interview between 2-12 weeks on average, and if you complete the interview well, you will receive approval documents within an average of one week. Including the recent LMIA advertisement, the procedure period should be approximately 2-4 months, so it should be prepared 3-4 months before the current stay in Canada expires. Although LMIA is often abandoned or looking for other ways to proceed with LMIA due to COVID-19 recently, we recommend that you proceed with LMIA as it is still going smoothly or if you need to proceed with it right away. Some states have recently said that LMIA could be stopped, but it's not really happening yet, and LMIA is a federally-run program rather than a state program, so even if the state closes, it's going to be open to the public. For the time being, Covid-19 can change not only LMIA but also immigration policies periodically, so we recommend that you consult with experts before proceeding. 2020-08-26 Read more >
