We are from Vietnam ,and currently working in Singapore
I have consult few lawyers : some said I could be the primary even I only have 6 months -1 year working experience
some said only my husband would be able to since he got higher experience years
I am confusing now Anyone could help me to consult that who could be the main applicant ? will get potential for not being rejected?One more point that some said my husband diploma would get the extra point because it has computer major in ( diploma in computer science got 6 points awarded ) .Would it be counted ? It is combination of computer , electrical and communication.So I dont know whether it would be counted. Each lawyer has their own grading point for my husband and me .
Thanks a lot

Canada job proposals for new immigrants

Canada is coming up with a project to help newcomers in the nation find jobs in accordance with their skill-sets and experience.

The aim of this project is to formulate innovative ideas to provide a platform for skilled immigrants and SMEs in Canada since this could result in providing jobs for skilled immigrants and provide manpower for SMEs.

What are Canada job proposals for skilled newcomers—Following are the eight job proposals for enabling newcomers possessing skills get jobs in Canada—

• Online database of pre-screened immigrants—This program is aimed to provide pre-screened skilled immigrants to SMBs at any time and from any place. Any employer in Canada will be facilitated with qualified candidates for meeting industry-specific needs.

• Single platform for recruitment and hiring of candidates for support services—It is a one-stop shop for the company having job opening and the potential employee in need of work in Canada.

• Online HR resources—This program by Canada will help provide SMBs with all the related HR information from any location.

• Orientation and wage subsidies—By providing provincial or national wage subsidies to skilled newcomers in Canada, the program will act as a stimulus for SMBs to hire jobseekers from anywhere, especially those who are reluctant to provide training and orientation to a newly hired employee.

• Marketing and communication program—Since, strong and effective communications are the very basis for bringing potential employees and employers looking for jobseekers, hence all the above programs need to be supported with communication and marketing.

• Education and information by financial institutes—The aim of this program is to provide information with regard to the potential jobseekers possessing skills to SMBs when the latter are planning extension of their business. The program will provide guidelines on recruitment, integration as well as retaining skillful immigrants.

Vital hiring practices—After hiring any skilled immigrant in Canada, the next job on hand for the employer is to introduce the new employee to the culture of the new workplace. This can go a long way in increasing productivity levels of the company or the business and help in retention rate of employees.

Hi OsamaR,
Thanks and I appreciate your efforts to share this info with us....
But unfortunately, this news is not applicable to QSW, it is for Quebec Enterpreneur Immigrants...
just wanted to highlight the difference between Quebec Skilled Worker visa and Quebec Enterpreneur visa:

pls check this link:
http://www.canadavisa.com/quebec-business-immigration.html

The Quebec Business/Investor Immigration program is a category of Canadian immigration that is available to individuals who have acquired entrepreneurial, investor, or self-employed experience.

Each of the three business categories (Entrepreneur, Investor and Self Employed) has their own requirements and selection process.

• Quebec Investor Program: To qualify as an investor, an individual must have a net worth of at least CAD$1.6 million, have managerial experience and be willing to make a government-secured investment of CAD$800,000 for a period of 5 years. Financing of this investment is available through Canadian financial institutions.

• Quebec Entrepreneur Program: To qualify as an Entrepreneur, an individual must have a net worth of at least CAD$300,000, have managerial experience in a business that they either owned or controlled, and be willing and able to establish or acquire a business in Quebec which will create at least one incremental job in Quebec.

• Quebec Self-Employed Person Program: To qualify as a Self-Employed person, an individual must have a net worth of at least CAD$100,000, and must have work experience in the profession or trade that they intend to practice in Quebec.

Processing Fees
Quebec Business Immigration Processing Fees differ depending on the category of business immigration:
Category Fee
Investors $3,899
Entrepreneurs $962
Self-Employed Workers $962
Each dependant $152

After arriving in Canada, the Quebec Entrepreneurs will have to adhere to a number of conditions for at least one year throughout the course of the three years after having obtained their Permanent Resident status. They must:
Successfully create or acquire an agricultural, commercial or industrial business in the Province of Quebec;
Control at least 25 per cent of the capital equity of that business, accounting for a minimum of CAD$100,000;
Employ a Quebec resident in the business (other than the Entrepreneur or accompanying family members) in a position of at least 30 hours a week. (Note that the agricultural Entrepreneur is not bound to this obligation);
Participate in the management of the business.

Some Info on Entrepreneurs visa for Federal program:
Note: CIC has temporarily stopped accepting applications for the federal entrepreneur program. Only applications received before July 1, 2011, will be processed. This suspension will continue until further notice.

The Entrepreneur Program seeks to attract experienced business persons who will own and actively manage businesses in Canada that contribute to the economy and create jobs.

However, the link says "Quebec to invest $450 million in entrepreneurs" So any one who lives in Quebec is eligible for this opportunity I believe !! Correct me if I am wrong becasue the whole article is not mentioning anything about restricting this program to Entrepreneurs Immigrants only which means anyone can apply ;D Moreover, the first paragraph says:
"The provincial government will spend $450 million over three years to promote entrepreneurship among young people in the province, Premier Jean Charest said Tuesday."

 

[mkshah]

But as of now it does not make any difference to us....
