- The number of Canadian students continues to increase. The number of students studying in Canada in 2019 is estimated to have tripled from 2009 to about 600,000. In 2018, a total of 5.5 million students from all over the world went to different countries to study, and Canada was selected as the fourth largest country in the world after the United States, Britain, and Australia. The average number of students who came to Canada from 2000 to 2009 was about 150,000, while the average number from 2010 to 2015 doubled to 300,000. And since 2016, the number of students studying abroad has skyrocketed by an average of 7 to 8 million every year. The reason why so many students from abroad visit Canada more and more is the advantage of being able to reach immigration after studying abroad in two ways, and the weak exchange rate in Canada. First of all, Canada can easily reach immigration after studying abroad. The image of the Canadian country itself is strong as an open and friendly society. This has become a greater advantage at a time of heightened emotion as other Western countries have increasingly closed their doors to immigration. Also, Canada has many benefits for students studying abroad. You can work part-time at school to support yourself financially. After school, you get Post-Graduation Open Work Permit and have the benefit of staying in Canada for up to three years. Furthermore, with this Work Permit, you can acquire permanent residency. In other words, the commonly called "immigration after studying abroad" can lead to extra points through academic transfer in Canada and permanent residency after obtaining a career through work permit. The second reason is that the current exchange rate in Canada is lower than that in the U.S., the U.K., and the euro, so it can reduce the financial burden. Of course, many students prefer to study in Canada because attending school as an overseas student is never higher than those of other countries who can go abroad, and in terms of quality, they do not lag behind those of other countries. In Canada itself, the population of new Canadian universities and universities has decreased due to the low birth rate, which means that the Canadian nation and universities themselves must continue to attract and maintain their operations. Due to the aforementioned reasons and demographic factors, Canada's international student population is expected to continue to grow. According to countries, the number of international students coming to Canada to study was the largest number of students from China from 2010 to 2016, but from India from 2017 is the highest number of students. In 2018, India ranked third with about 110,000 students studying abroad, China with about 8.5 million and Korea next with 1.7 million. In addition, France, Vietnam, Brazil, Iran, and Japan are the countries where many students are coming. The number of Korean students studying abroad is increasing gradually to 1.4 million in 2015, 1.6 million in 2016, and 1.7 million in 2017, and 2018. Canada says it wants to build social ties with a variety of countries, not one country, while currently more than 50 percent of its students come from India and China, preferring students from other countries besides India and China. A total of 11 countries, including France, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, and the Philippines, were identified as preferred countries. If the number of students studying abroad continues to increase, the number of immigrants will increase as well, and the economic impact of students studying abroad will continue to grow. 2019-11-20 Read more >
- What to do after a green card is obtained From now on, if you receive your Canadian green card through experience immigration, invitation immigration, business immigration, or any other means of immigration, you should prepare for permanent residency in Canada through permanent residency. If you already have a work permit or study permit with you in Canada and you get a permanent residency, you can easily pass it by because there is no big change in sight. There are four main areas: SIN reissuance, permanent residency, permanent residency benefits, and child education. The first and most important thing is to let the government know that we have finally received a green card. The first thing to do is to update your original Social Insurance Number (SIN) to a permanent resident. You will visit your nearest Service Canada and update your existing SIN with your new SIN number, which is now permanently used in Canada. After receiving such a new SIN, you should inform the bank and various agencies that the SIN has changed and update it. Also, when you do a tax report, you have to report it with a new SIN, so if you have an accountant, you must deliver a new SIN. The second thing to do is to prepare in advance for the extension of Canadian citizenship or permanent residency, which should be applied later. To acquire Canadian citizenship, you must live in Canada for three years in the last five years and two years in the last five years to extend Canada's green card. Therefore, if you go abroad, you must record when and when you went to the country to make it easier for you to apply for an extension of your citizenship or permanent residency and to calculate your minimum residence date. For your information, if you travel abroad, you must have a PR card to enter Canada, so you must carry a PR card on your overseas trip, and you must check the expiration date of this PR card and extend it on time. The third thing you need to find out is the benefit that Canadian permanent residents receive for free. There are institutions that introduce free English classes and employment for new permanent residents when they acquire permanent residency in Canada. Most non-profit organizations are introducing SINs, health insurance, driver's license applications, and school registration methods. A representative group is the SUCCESS, MOSAIC, and OPTION. Also, children benefits, bank interest rates for new permanent residents, and mortgage loans are available for additional benefits, so anyone planning to buy a house is recommended to consult a bank. Fourth, if you have children, you must tell them that you have acquired permanent residency at their school. Since children may be different from going to school on Study Permit and going to school with a permanent residency, they should be able to talk to the school in advance at the same time. It is important to remember that receiving a green card does not end and that in order to maintain it, as mentioned above, you must periodically extend your green card by obtaining Canadian citizenship or filling your residence in Canada. Since I received this green card through hard work, I hope to create a new life in Canada through the acquisition of citizenship or periodic extension of permanent residency. 2019-11-13 Read more >
- Quebec Investment Migration Provisional Suspended The Canadian Immigration Service says the Quebec Investor Program, which was eligible for permanent residency through investment in Quebec, will be temporarily suspended from November 1, 2019. With the exception of the great deal of the $1.2 million investment in Quebec, immigration is easier than the exacting conditions of any other immigration program. It has always been a program that many applicants are interested in because they were able to obtain permanent residency. However, according to the Minister for Immigration in Quebec, more than 20,000 applications for investment in Quebec are still piling up without being processed, so we have announced an end to investment immigration by July 1, 2020. We have also indicated in advance that the outage period may be shorter or longer if we review it once again within Quebec. Investing in Quebec, if you invest 1.2 million dollars, you can return it to the government five years later without interest, and you can get a green card by giving up interest for five years. Investors also needed more than $2 million in net worth and more than two years of management experience. While this investment migration has helped Quebec receive a lot of financial support, it has also been unwelcome to the way it seems to pay for permanent residency and citizenship. With the suspension of investment immigration to Quebec, Quebec has announced new applications for its business and self-employed programs. Business Min will receive 25 applications, while Ja Young Min will receive 35 more applications. For your information, there is capacity only for business people in Quebec, and for those who are fluent in French, there is no limit to capacity. Applicants who were waiting for Quebec investment immigration can either proceed through other immigration methods or prepare to immigrate through business people, a similar investment method. It is very similar to Quebec investment immigration as a way for applicants with business experience to apply for a certain amount of business ownership. Federal investment was suspended in 2014, followed by a halt to investment in Quebec in 2019. On the other hand, experienced immigrants such as business people, self-employed people, small-town immigrants, RNIPs, AIPPs, or farm workers are on the rise. At the same time, immigration in Canada seems to prefer immigrants who can give Canada real skills or experience over immigration that can work financially. 2019-11-06 Read more >
- Method of obtaining child care teacher certificate for permanent residency in Canada Recently, a growing number of immigrant applicants are preparing to immigrate to Canada through the job of nursery school teachers. The reason is that if you immigrate as a child care teacher, you can obtain extra points for moving to the state, and it is advantageous for you to continue working even after acquiring permanent residency. If you are preparing to immigrate through this type of child care teacher job, you must have a Canadian child care teacher's license. To have a child care teacher's license, there are two ways to graduate from a school in Canada or obtain a certificate from abroad. The first way is to graduate from the Department of Nursing Teachers at Public or Private Schools in Canada. There are many advantages if you get a certificate when you graduate from school in Canada. The biggest advantage is that it is easier to get a job through the lab period. If you get a certificate from abroad and you don't have a Work Permit, it may not be easy to get a job for the first time. However, it is easier to get a job because you can legally work in Canada during the practical period, which is part of the school class in Canada. Another advantage is that if you graduate from a public school with a major in infant education, you can acquire an Open Work Permit called Post Graduation Work Permit. With this work period, you can start working legally without company support. There are also scholarship benefits, job information sharing in schools, and improvement in English ability. To point out the shortcomings of this method, of course I have to go to school in Canada, so it is a high tuition and program period. Usually, the program is completed for 1-2 years. Another way to get a Canadian nursery teacher's license is to convert a certificate that we have already received overseas into Canada. The advantage of this process is that you can save time by preparing for the transition after obtaining a license from Korea and also save money. However, if you enter Canada first, you may have to enter Canada first as a tour rather than as a job candidate. After that, it may not be easy to get a job because you have to convert to work permit with the support of your company. Most employers prefer child care teachers with status to work right now, so it's hard to wait until they get company support and get a Work Permit. Both of the above methods are used according to personal preferences. In addition, through the above two methods, you can apply for permanent residency by building your career in Canada after obtaining your license. Having a child care teacher's license makes it easier to continue working even after obtaining a permanent residency and can earn a higher salary than an unlicensed job, so if you are still looking for a job or an academic career for immigration, it is also a way to obtain a child care teacher's license and then proceed with a permanent residency. 2019-10-30 Read more >
