Jason Kenney – the Energizer Bunny Goes Too Far
Posted by admin in blog

Jason Kenney has been racing across the country, making announcements about changes to the immigration system at every stop. Vancouver one day, Calgary the next . . . today it was Winnipeg. It’s enough to make you dizzy!

Maybe it’s making him dizzy too, because today he went too far in announcing two additional changes that will “help transform Canada’s immigration system” – not, unfortunately, for the better. These changes will make Canada’s immigration system one in which applicants are subject to arbitrary rule changes in mid game. People who applied in good faith under one set of rules could find themselves out in the cold when the Minister changes his mind about what kind of immigrants he wants.

One proposed change would allow new regulations, once approved, to apply retrospectively to people who have already submitted an application. “These changes” CIC gushed in their press release, “would help ensure that immigrants are chosen based on Canada’s current needs and priorities”. That will be a real hit with applicants and do wonders for Canada’s reputation for fairness worldwide! It will be like entering a hockey tournament and having the referee blow his whistle and tossing you out in the middle of the game because the league has just announced new rules requiring everyone to play with a baseball bat and one running shoe.

A similar change CIC says, would help then ensure FSW applicants meet current labour market needs. It would allow new rules set out in Ministerial Instructions to apply to people who have already submitted an application.

This is how CIC explains it in their press release. “For example, instructions could place a priority on a specific occupation, such as doctors, and have existing applications from doctors processed first, regardless of where they are in the queue.” To me it sounds like being at the front of the line at a club when the bouncer decides to let in “The 4 Guys” from the Captain Morgan Rum commercial because they’re trending on Twitter.

Some of the changes Kenney has announced recently make sense in terms of modernising our immigration system – but this emphasis on treating immigrants as economic units instead of people and throwing out any vestiges of procedural fairness demeans Canada.

Proposed Changes to CEC and Skilled Worker Applications

Posted: April 17, 2012 by Admin

Immigration Minister Kenney has recently announced changes... A similar change would allow new regulations, once approved, to apply retrospectively to people who have already submitted an application. There is no doubt that CIC will face a law suit over these proposed changes, as they remove all certainty for applicants and are a clear breach of procedural fairness.

What is background check?
Background checks are carried out on every Permanent Resident applicant over the age of 18. These checks are used to identify criminals and known security threats (espionage, subversion or terrorism). To ensure that the protection and safety of Canada is maintained, various sources are consulted for the completion of background checks, including but not limited to visa application forms, intelligence information, criminal conviction records and immigration records.

Once all information is received, it is carefully reviewed to determine the likeliness that the applicant is a threat to Canadian security. If any questions or concerns arise a Security Interview will be scheduled in order that the Immigration Officer may discuss these findings with the applicant. Failure to pass the background check is grounds for an immediate refusal of the Permanent Resident Application.

How long does the background check take?

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) in conjunction with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) administers the background checks. Since Canadian officials confer with other governments, departments and/or organization it may take several months for the completion of the background checks. There is no set timeframe for background check. Its duration can be affected by such factors as military service, foreign trips, membership in political organizations. It takes as much time as it requires.

What is security interview?

Security interview is different from selection interview. It is a part of the background check and designed for the same purpose as background check. Applicant can be called to security interview even if selection interview has been waived.

congrats Khosla and smart PT for getting your dreams( Visa)
 
Dear Mahesh

I hope that seniors are right about their security check process which makes some applicants to wait a bit longer than others as they will wait to get the reports from other agencies before DM & stamping the visa.

But i hope that you should be hearing very soon... Its really great pain to wait for that long..

Dear Rawlin,

CIC keeps BG check details confidential and contacts the applicant when there is a need to seek clarification. BG check details are never updated to ECAS.

My ECAS status is "Medical Results Received". We share the same NOC. Where are you from ?
