Unreasonable things in Canadian Immigration Process

Unreasonable (or lucky for some) things in Canadian Immigration Process

1. You can get full educational points for your ABC degree, and also get full job experience points working in XYZ (completely different from ABC) field.

2. You could have worked in a topnotch relevant company in your field (like someone with Computer Science background working in Microsoft as a Computer Engineer for instance), but if your work experience letter doesn't match (>60%) with CIC guidelines, you are out. On the other hand, if you have worked in a never-heard (even non-existent) company outside of your field, but you manage to get a full bullet list of duties with keywords matching CIC guidelines, you are welcome.

3. Native speakers of English having to give IELTS.

4. WES is unnecessary in many cases. ►(I have also felt the same. It is like after toiling hard for that many years for a degree, you still need a far-away institute to tell you that you actually did it. But I guess, this is to separate fakes ones out, but why do genuine ones have to pay ?)

5. Long time to get the response. ►(That's true. Unless someone has made it a mission of life, it is a waste in some cases. That's why some people are seen loosing their PR for that matter, due to not being able to put the first step into Canada within the VISA limits.)

6. Uneven provincial application fees, and other (language) rules.

WES is unnecessary if not for all, atleast for people completed education from the USA, UK, IIT, IIM, as their standards are way higher. As far as i remember WES credentials was free of cost few years back. This is unnecessary

Agreed with your first point. For second point i would say they do check your background as well. So a person has to be very careful if they have manage to get a letter from non-existent company. CIC will check their websites, call and verify. But true these people are very lucky.

Take my example...my A company where i worked for 3 years back home in India have given me a letter with so called duties matching only 50% whereas i have done around 80% of the duties mentioned in the list. Coming here in Canada, i am working with a not so big company for past few months & i was very doubtful if they will provide me with a letter. But they are very generous and have provided me a letter with a detailed description of my duties very much so that it exceed beyond expectation. Its very easy to ask and get a favour from your HR here. Unfortunately, CIC will only consider Company A. Back in India big MNC's have problem, i dont know why.

Thanks that you started this thread.

Local companies don't consider outside education and experiences?

Besides what you said I found unreasonable the following:

1. 2 to 3 years to receive an answer, your life changes from one year to another.
2. Pay more than $700 to apply to get a CSQ is too high! in provinces like nova scotia or to get PNP has no cost, it is pricey to pay double.
3. No points for applicant´s spouse in English for QSW.

Thanks for your inputs 24 and cherishlady.

I couldn't understand what ttrajan said though.

The fact that CIC has a number of policies that specifically advantage foreign students for permanent immigration; but to receive a student visa, you have to explicitly deny any intention or interest in immigrating and demonstrate that you have strong ties to your home country.

I agree. But that is a general rule for all immigration policies everywhere, in which they have categorized them into immigrant and non-immigrant. But do you think once one gets a student visa, completes the study, one can not change one's intention ?
