Provincial Nominee Programs working wellThursday, 26 January 2012 Category Provincial Nominee Programs

Canada’s Provincial Nominee Immigration Programs (PNPs) continue to be successful according to a new report released today by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).
The CIC’s report evaluated immigrants admitted under a PNP between 2005 and 2009. One of its main focuses was the economic success of these immigrants, and it found that average incomes ranged between $35,200 and $45,100, with 70 percent of those surveyed holding a job in line with their skills.

“Clearly provincial nominees have strong economic outcomes and are making a positive contribution to Canada,” said Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney.

According to the report, PNPs are effective in helping spread the benefits of immigration across the country, which was the original raison d’être of their creation. The report quantifies that by stating that today 26 percent of all economic immigrants are destined for provinces other than Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec, compared to 11 percent in 1997.

The report did have some suggestions for improvement, including:

Recommended minimum language requirements.
Closer correlations between eligible occupations and local labour market needs.
Better coordination between provincial and federal bodies when processing PNP applications to prevent fraud.
Encouragement of the development of official language minority communities through alterations to the respective PNPs.
In 2012, Canada plans to admit between 42,000 and 45,000 immigrants under the PNP category, including spouse and dependents. For some provinces, like Manitoba, the PNP has accounted for more than three quarters of its total yearly immigration.

Updates made to National Occupation Classification matrix
06 February 2012



On January 31, 2012, [HRSDC] and Statistics Canada replaced the 2006 edition of the National Occupation Classification (NOC) with a 2011 version.

NOC codes reflect federal employment standards and are used widely for immigration. They describe, amongst other things, job duties, recommended qualifications, and prevailing regional wages for over 40,000 jobs in 500 occupational groups.

The NOC matrix is updated approximately every five years, drawing from new data gleaned in Canada’s national census as well as consultations with leading economic stakeholders.

Foreign workers who plan to or are in the process of applying through an economically driven immigration program (such as Federal Skilled Worker, Provincial Nominee Programs, or temporary work permits) may be directly affected by these changes.

For individuals whose Federal Skilled Worker applications were received at the Centralized Intake Office before January 31, Citizenship and Immigration Canada has confirmed that they will be assessed according to the old NOC system. Those received after should conform to the 2011 guidelines.

The exact impact of these new changes on specific immigration programs is currently under review by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and updates are expected to be published throughout the upcoming year as they become available.

Everyone,

A friend (not a member of this forum) tried to get an update regarding his application. This was the reply he got:
==============================

Dear Applicant,

Changes to immigration law in 2008 allow Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to set, through Ministerial Instructions (MI), the number and type of applications considered for processing each year, and the order in which these applications will be processed.

Under the first set of instructions (MI-1) CIC used this new authority under immigration law to control the type of applications received, but not the number. The number of applications received exceed the ability to process them in a timely way. CIC introduced caps on June 26, 2010 and on July 1, 2011 on the FSW program as part of the second MI and third MI. CIC has limited the intake of new FSW applications to better match the number CIC can actually process within the annual levels plan tabled in Parliament. FSW applications under the second and third MIs are processed on a priority basis.

CIC has received enough FSW applications since February 27, 2008 to reach immigration levels for the next two years. Unfortunately, it will take longer to process those submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010) than originally projected. This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the program in 2011. Therefore, few applications received /before February 27, 2008 (processed in the order they are received) are expected to be processed this year or next.

CIC’s goal is to make the immigration system more responsive to labour market needs. By giving priority to FSW applications received on or after June 26, 2010, CIC is responding to the most urgent labour market needs first. The length of time it takes to finalize an application under this program varies from one visa office to another since visa offices face different challenges. CIC continues to work towards global service standards and the use of departmental standard forms to minimize such regional variations as much as possible.

We hope that you will find this information satisfactory in responding to your questions and concerns.

Hi everyone!

I first applied July, 2005, AOR Oct 2005 (hence, Frustrated! is my login name here). Last year, we inquired with the embassy regarding our application and we got this same letter. So we decided to re-apply when the MI3 came out last July 1, 2011. We sent our application Aug 5, 2011 and now we are doing our medicals already. They are not processing old applications at all except for those that were updated already. When we received PER, we withdrew our old application and they refunded the full amount for our previous application since no processing was done.

If you are eligible for the MI3 or for the new one coming out this July, 2012, I would suggest that you re-apply. These occupations are their priority and processing is really fast. Those who applied July, 2011 had their visas issued already. Hopefully, ours will come this April.

Hope this helps you decide. Good luck to all!
