Canada: Processes for sponsoring Parents and Grandparents.
December 15, 2011
"We can call our elders and great elders to Canada via Super Visa multiple entries program, provided that we assure certain mandatory measures relating to their financials and medical insurance."
Since the colonization preacher made the declaration of the embargo of two years of support course for parentage's and predecessors talk roughly on construction of 'Monitor' for parentages and antecedents, offspring and citizens permanent residents in this country to have underway wearisome to cram how it works is controlled. And there are very specific procedures for how to practice this abroad.
This suggests the monitors is that paternities and ancestors are heading for offer manifold admission Permit for a retro of ten years, which will let them to emanate to this country for an epoch of two years which can be with kinfolk, and after two years will have to vacate this country to coming back to the state of basis and yield to Canada if they want to stay additional two years.
Nonetheless to do this first is secure a manifold entry authorization for a decade. Parentage's and forerunners now require to entreaty in the similar method, as before on that usually concluded with whichever provisional tenant papers or guest pass, but now further have to prove from side to side with credentials (such as birth credentials) who have a blood association with Canadian inhabitant or perpetual occupant that is alluring to come.
Stable indigenous will have to mark an article which is accountable for in case of monetary service to the blood relation or forerunner which are entitled, and must also validate that local has the aptitude to deliver these economic provisions who are tempting.
Conferring to the Bureau of the vicar of Migration, contemporaneous arrear has gone severe that require alternative to this capacity right with variation. The files at the responsibility spectacle certain of the tenders of current session have to face delay up to 7 years in nastiest circumstance. “It is necessary to act to reduce postponed.” was words by the minister of Immigration.
The official documents of the Organization put the figure at 165,000 parentages and appeal of ancestors of backing continuously expects their tasks require impression, adding mandatory abide by with the same rules, or rest for the parents and the grandparents of the process would total 300,000 in the 10 years and is unacceptable.
Resulting are the necessities for Entry permit:
Likewise when you put on, the candidate (i.e. parentages or antecedents) essentially get hold of and acquiesce indication of valid fitness assurance bought for Canada. The protection must be lawful for a minutest of one year from the date of entry into Canada, you must deliver a slightest attention of $ 10,000 and this indemnity need shelter the being for medicinal conduct or hospitalization and, if needed, to refunded to the state of foundation. This is likewise somewhat innovative.
Bonus obligation that is similarly novel is that parentages and antecedents will require to proceed medicinal inspection to acquire this visa, and clearly if you have therapeutic delinquencies will be prohibited to Canada for therapeutic intention.
This latest is in power from 1st December and proceeds in 8 weeks to course. If your elders are already in the country they are required to apply for pass extension and meeting all the above measures. Beneficially this will give parents access to Canada for a decade an also a biannual entry permission after passing through above mentioned procedures. As for critics the similarity in opinions amid admins and them is to give priority to this project as this shall be a good fortune for the economical boost of the state.
It is obvious why this program is launched, as to overcome the financial problem of parents and ease their burden in the native states. Innovative yet in its infancy the step taken will be a great manifesto for the families to reunite in the state full of chances and opportunities. Likewise the procedures amid this rule are very transparent and shall aid in the choosing of better candidate.
But this is to be understood that the officials will undertake every possible option to examine the state of applicant and its nature to assure that he or she may qualify the right to attain this new facility. Thus it also gives an option for such persons who only want to invite their elders for a short period of time.

Canada eases restrictions on 10,000 foreign live-in caregivers
Canada, 15th December: Canada government has issued nearly 10,000 Canada work permits to foreign caregivers.
This has been done to help attract more foreign caregivers in the nation while offering full protection of their rights in Canada.
Canada work permits- an early christmas gift for foreign caregivers—Welcoming the unprecedented move by Canada government, president of the Association of Caregiver and Nanny Agencies of Canada, Manuela Gruber Hersch said it is like an early Christmas gift for foreign caregivers.
She, however, said that she had no indication about the position or the objective of the federal government behind such move especially since the step was unannounced.
And even Canada immigration department-CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) has not answered to the queries. There is no information whether the recent step by the federal government is a permanent change in the immigration policy for foreign caregivers in Canada or just a one-off step.
Meanwhile, Canada immigration minister Jason Kenny has reaffirmed to chalk out ways for allowing increased number of foreign caregivers to Canada in the recent times.
Canada live-in caregiver program—Canada work permits are a legal route to enable foreign caregivers to come and work in Canada. And the best thing about such work permits is that caregivers are no longer confined to keep working for the family offering sponsorship to come to Canada. They have the option to work for any other family or employer without any risk of losing their right to live and work as caregivers in Canada.
This recent change is aimed to offer protection to foreign caregivers in Canada following several reports of mistreatment meted out to such foreign workers by families employing them.
Some of the common complaints by foreign caregivers include long duration of work, poor work conditions, little pay and bad treatment by the families.
It may be mentioned that the demand for live-in caregivers or nannies in Canada is growing while the government of Canada assumes that Canada live-in caregiver program is not going to attract the required number of foreign caregivers to live and work in Canada.
Hence, the latest move is to provide incentives to help get more foreign caregivers to come and work in Canada.

New rules in progress for the Caregivers
December 19, 2011: The government is now planning to implement new rules and regulations for the new caregivers coming to work in the country.
To cope with the acute shortage of the foreign caregivers in the country, the government is now recommending new plan to support them. The new plan welcomes the foreign caregivers to come and work comfortably in the country.
Need for Caregiver Program:
This program serves to be very helpful for the Canadian families who can hire the skilled caregivers from the other countries to come and be with them and take care of their children or some old or disabled people; they usually take this step when no local person for this job is available.
New Policy:
The government is easing out the current norms for the overseas caregivers to make it simpler for them to come and work in Canada. Now once they have arranged for the job or signed a particular contract with the employer, they can easily come to the country. The government is also working to speed up their visas. As for the new foreign caregivers coming in, they can now get their open work permits quiet fast, like previously now they will be getting the required consent 18 months earlier.
What is Open Work Permits?
Open Work Permits are the consent issued by the government authorities that not only allows the foreign caregivers to come and work in the country but also permit to do some other job, and be in Canada even after completion of their contract with their original employers. This step will help the employers and even the caregivers after the completion of term, as now they will not have to lag with the employers just to attain permanent residency to stay further in the country.
As per this program, a caregiver who has completed 3900 work hours or have stayed for two years in the country before attaining the eligibility to get PR of the country. As per the previous policy it was not allowed they had to wait for their status and then can do another job.
Current Situation:
As per the records, the new plans have done wonders and increased the number of live-in caregivers at a tremendous rate. As much of 14,000 people have benefitted from the policy and have attained their open work visa recently.
Benefit of the policy:
This will not only benefit the residents of the country as it will be more easy to call them but also for the caregivers as they will treated more nicely here. Now a strict check will be taken for the employers to behave in good manner with their employees.

Alberta facing shortage of workers
Canada, 20th December: Several Alberta business leaders have pointed to immigration and shortage of workers as the top concerns for the federal budget.
This has been revealed by Rona Ambrose, Public Works Minister.
Labor shortage hits Alberta--Giving details, Ambrose said there is no denying the fact that the point raised by businesses in Alberta is genuine. This Canadian province is facing a severe shortage of required workforce to be employed by the businesses.
This is despite the fact that the annual intake levels of immigration has been increased by the government of Canada for Alberta.
Businesses are still experiencing skills-shortage despite an increase in the annual quota for immigrants coming to Alberta, Ambrose clarified.
Shortage of 77,000 workers predicted in Alberta—According to senior manager of E&Y’s oil and gas practice, Lance Mortlock, a shortfall of nearly 77,000 workers is predicted to hit Alberta in the coming decade due to baby boomers reaching retirement.
However, the businesses will find it difficult to cope up with such a huge shortage of workforce, he warned. Findings of a recent survey involving human resource managers of oil and gas firms highlighted availability of labor as the top concern of businesses in Alberta. And among the key challenges faced by businesses are attracting and retention of talented and skilled workers along with providing training to enable experiences to such workers.
The survey further revealed a huge shortage of field engineers, project engineers, project managers, drilling services workers, geosciences workers and individuals in several other trades.
No wonder, to solve the huge scarcity of workers, many firms are resorting to immigrant workers.
Increased training needed for underemployed, unemployed—A good solution for this problem could be in the form of increased training opportunities to people facing joblessness or those working below their potential, she maintained.
This includes immigrants as well as Canadians to help get jobs in accordance with the requisite qualifications and skill-sets, added Ambrose.
Canadians living in other provinces struggling with the issue of underemployment must be encouraged to move to Alberta to solve the problem of shortage of labor here. That’s because Alberta has the lowest unemployment rate of five percent in Canada.

Fewer jobs, less income for immigrants in Canada
Canada, 20th December: Newcomers to Canada have lower rates of employment despite having higher education levels than Canadian peers.
Moreover, there is a wide employment gap between immigrants and Canadian-born workers.
This has been revealed by the findings of a latest RBC Economics report titled ‘Immigrant Labor Market Outcomes in Canada: The Benefits of Addressing Wage and Employment Gaps'.
High unemployment, lower incomes for new immigrants—No wonder, immigrants continue to face higher rates of joblessness than their native-born counterparts, the RBC report affirms.
The report further maintains that an increase of nearly $30.7 billion would have been resulted in the incomes of immigrants in Canada if they had been rewarded on same patterns as those of Canadian-born workers.
The study aims to analyze the wide gap in the immigrant labor market.
According to assistant chief economist of RBC, Dawn Desjardins, the figure of $30.7 billion is indeed a big number and it is a clear indicator of huge untapped contributor.
That's because people getting higher incomes do have increased purchasing power. So, they are going to buy increased number of new things including homes, she claimed.
Successful integration of immigrants-still a far cry in Canada--There is no denying the fact that Canada has been successful in attracting increased number of immigrants possessing talents and qualifications, but in terms of successful integration of newcomers in Canada, the nation still needs to do much more, the report clarifies.
That's because the average income of recent immigrants in Canada comes to nearly $28,700. However, if immigrants with full-time employment were offered equal pay as offered to Canada-born counterparts, their average salary would have been around $57,000 in the year 2006.
This clearly shows that the actual pay of immigrants was almost 21 percent less than what it should actually have been. And the wage gap for recent immigrants in Canada is even higher with $37,200 per employed person (or 56 percent).
All this brings us to the conclusion that since, immigrants comprise more than 20 percent of total population of Canada, hence, the nation needs to ponder over the issue of underutilized skilled labor, Desjardins clarified. Small steps in immigrant outcomes will have a significant positive contribution to the nation's economy, he stated.

News Release – First Parent and Grandparent Super Visa issued two weeks after launch
Ottawa, December 19, 2011 — The first Parent and Grandparent Super Visa has already been issued, Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism announced today.
“We pledged to process the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa in less than eight weeks,” the Minister noted. “We’ve issued the first of the Super Visas in just two weeks and we remain committed to reuniting families through the Super Visa in a timely manner.”
The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa was launched as an option for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents looking to visit their families in Canada for an extended period of time. The process for getting a Super Visa is simple and straightforward. Super Visa seekers use the same application form as applicants for the standard six-month visitor visa. Applicants for the Super Visa must also submit proof that the host child or grandchild meets a minimum income, demonstrate that they have purchased comprehensive Canadian medical insurance and undergo the Immigration Medical Examination.
The first Super Visa was issued at the Canadian mission in Manila on December 14, 2011, only two weeks after CIC began accepting applications.
“With the Super Visa, we have taken a common sense approach that allows parents and grandparents to spend extended periods of time with their loved ones in Canada, while at the same time, acting responsibly in protecting Canadian taxpayers,” Minister Kenney added. “I’m pleased that the response to this program has been so positive.”
Until the Super Visa was launched on December 1, 2011, visitors to Canada usually could only visit for six months at a time and visitors who wished to stay longer had to apply for extensions and pay a new fee every six months. With the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, eligible parents and grandparents will pay fewer fees and have greater certainty that they will be able to enjoy the company of their families in Canada for a longer period of time.

Insufficient intros and salaries, migrants facing tough time in Canada.
December 20, 2011: “Much discontent in the hearts if new Canadian as they face higher unemployment rates in major cities then in the rest of Canadian region. Also the gender difference has taken its toll.”
A person who wants to go to Canada on immigrant Visa is generally required to have higher skills and enough qualifications that would be compatible to the criteria of immigration. Also he or she is asked to be efficient in language plus other computer skills which are of great demand today. But what is the catch for all the effort. As a general survey has disclosed the current scene in Canada which is somewhat in contrast to what it seems to have been in that country.
Normally you would dream to get an ideal job and a citizenship without any problem but this is not what happens in real. The immigrants are required to stay there for a time then they have to cross a tough process of recognition and even some failed to do so were to apply again and again. None the less also for those lucky who got their first admissions approved the next phase is tougher than the previous. The “job hunt”. In current situation the Jobs are scarce so are the venues of earning. As compared to native stable residents you are not given the same position and also the same salary.
A recent analysis shows that both the immigrants and the natives having similar skills are worth more than 30.7 billion $ to this country’s economy. As for the administration of Royal bank they seemed to have criticized the intention of Canada for gathering more talent than it could handle. This someway in relates to the Data which has revealed that over 40 percent of the immigrants these days hold a Bachelor degree which is much higher than the low percentage of Eighties.
The difference is clear, just six years ago the average annual income survey of nearly every immigrant in Canada was over forty five thousand while this is reduced to less than thirty this year. While debate is hot that unless the margin is reduced they annual income should be over fifty seven thousand dollars. This has an impact unwanted and the gap is nearly twenty one percent and per annum salary goes under forty thousand Dollars for an equally qualified and skilled immigrant. A suggestion is to consent this break and make a good impact on the gross domestic product of the country. Also even some little extra can boost the economy for good reason.
Yet the scene for the immigrants is hopeless as they face tough and nearly out of job situations in most part of the country. It is to be taken in consideration that over thirty years ago the margin of joblessness was somewhat higher to the later years but that could be reduced a bit more if some of the main features which are being taken today would have met earlier rather than just space filling.
Now the situation has gone even worse than past thirty years and the rate of unemployment is inc4reasing much higher. Also the gender difference is worsening the crisis since male earn nearly double then their female colleges. This also goes for the major three metropolis of Canada which is already showing increase in unemployment rather than in other areas of this country.
Resulting analysis goes in contrast to what Canada offers as the foundation of this great juvenile was on the bases of immigration but that does not look the same in present and could be worse in near future.
December 20, 2011: “Much discontent in the hearts if new Canadian as they face higher unemployment rates in major cities then in the rest of Canadian region. Also the gender difference has taken its toll.”
A person who wants to go to Canada on immigrant Visa is generally required to have higher skills and enough qualifications that would be compatible to the criteria of immigration. Also he or she is asked to be efficient in language plus other computer skills which are of great demand today. But what is the catch for all the effort. As a general survey has disclosed the current scene in Canada which is somewhat in contrast to what it seems to have been in that country.
Normally you would dream to get an ideal job and a citizenship without any problem but this is not what happens in real. The immigrants are required to stay there for a time then they have to cross a tough process of recognition and even some failed to do so were to apply again and again. None the less also for those lucky who got their first admissions approved the next phase is tougher than the previous. The “job hunt”. In current situation the Jobs are scarce so are the venues of earning. As compared to native stable residents you are not given the same position and also the same salary.
A recent analysis shows that both the immigrants and the natives having similar skills are worth more than 30.7 billion $ to this country’s economy. As for the administration of Royal bank they seemed to have criticized the intention of Canada for gathering more talent than it could handle. This someway in relates to the Data which has revealed that over 40 percent of the immigrants these days hold a Bachelor degree which is much higher than the low percentage of Eighties.
The difference is clear, just six years ago the average annual income survey of nearly every immigrant in Canada was over forty five thousand while this is reduced to less than thirty this year. While debate is hot that unless the margin is reduced they annual income should be over fifty seven thousand dollars. This has an impact unwanted and the gap is nearly twenty one percent and per annum salary goes under forty thousand Dollars for an equally qualified and skilled immigrant.
