International Careers Fair in Nova Scotia matches Canadian immigrants with local businesses

Nova Scotia held an International Careers Fair in Halifax on 6 March 2012 that attracted many new immigrants looking for jobs in the province.

Hundreds of job seekers attended the job fair to meet with nearly 80 local businesses to see what job opportunities were available. Nova Scotia held the event to connect skilled immigrants, international graduates, and temporary foreign workers with local businesses.

The province is facing a looming shortage of skilled workers; Connecting immigrants with local companies is becoming increasingly important.

"By 2015, the demand for skilled workers will outstrip the supply," said Elizabeth Mills, executive director of the Nova Scotia Office of Immigration. "Employers need to start now. Immigration is not an instant thing; it doesn't happen overnight. They need workers who have multi-language abilities, workers with networks abroad and cultural and business savvy to do business internationally."

Mills noted that while the local talent pool now meets most employers' needs, the impending labour shortage will require more immigration. She added that hiring newcomers can be beneficial for companies because many immigrants tend to have a tremendous drive to succeed.

"I've heard it said and I see it in their faces: Failure is not an option for them. They come here with great expectations and they invest so much of their own talent, energy and resources," said Mills.

Universities in the province have also helped with the international search for talent.

"Universities in Nova Scotia have taken on a much more aggressive approach to marketing abroad. It's great because those international students who graduate here already have the right credentials employers want," she said.

Many people may not qualify for this program as there are only a limited number of occupations on the occupation list, but if you are interested in immigrating to Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker Program eligible applicants must:

- have a valid offer of arranged employment, OR
- have the necessary skills and one year of continuous full-time paid work experience in at least one of the occupations on the shortage occupation list, OR
- be an international student enrolled in a PhD program in Canada (or graduated from a Canadian PhD program within the past 12 months) and meet certain
criteria.

Once your application is submitted to Canadian Immigration and Citizenship, it will be processed according to the six selection factors in the skilled worker points grid, which are:

- your education
- your abilities in English and/or French
- your work experience
- your age
- whether you have arranged employment in Canada, and
- your adaptability

They did not refund my money nor did they refused my application. Many of my friends were refused immigrations as they could nod not fulfill the new laws as applicable under fob,2008 norms. They had put me again in waiting list. Now I have learnt that they are returning all the applications along with the fee deposited at the time of applications to the applicants who are in waiting list before the year 2008.

Canadian Immigration proposes changes for assessing skilled worker credentials

Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced a new proposal that would change how foreign skilled workers' education credentials are assessed. The proposed new requirement would require applicants wishing to immigrate under the Federal Skilled Worker program to have their foreign education credentials assessed and verified before they arrive in Canada.

"Our Government is building an immigration system that is focused on economic growth and ensuring that all Canadians, including immigrants, are able to contribute to their maximum capacity," said Kenney. "By having their foreign education credentials assessed before their arrival to Canada, foreign skilled workers will have a better sense of how their credentials fit into the Canadian labour market and will be able to contribute their full skill set to the economy more quickly."

The new process would let visa applicants know how their education credentials compared to Canadian credentials and it will give immigrants a sense of how Canadian employers are likely to value their education before they arrive in Canada. It is hoped that this new process will help eliminate applicants who do not meet the education requirements. The government also believes that this is an important step in helping to address the problem of immigrants arriving and not being able to work in their field.

Although, it is important to note that this credential assessment would not mean that Federal Skilled Workers would automatically find employment in Canada or within their desired occupation. It also won't guarantee that immigrants will automatically be licensed to practice in a regulated occupation.

"Internationally trained workers make an important contribution to Canada's job market and the economy," said Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. "That's why our Government is working in partnership to improve foreign credential recognition so that skilled newcomers can put their knowledge and skills to work sooner."

Those interested in immigrating to Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker program must meet the following requirements:

- You must have a valid offer of arranged employment, OR
- You must have one year of continuous full-time paid work experience in at least one of the occupations listed on the Shortage Occupation List, OR
- You must be an international student enrolled in a PhD program in Canada (or have graduated from a Canadian PhD program within the past 12 months) and meet certain criteria.

Canadian immigration to eliminate visa application backlog

As part of Canadian immigration's plan to reduce the backlog of visa applications, the government will be rejecting almost 300,000 people who applied for a Canadian visa before 2008. Their applications are being returned and $130 million worth of fees will be refunded as the government aims to decrease the massive backlog they say has been standing in the way of major reform to the immigration system.

Applicants will now be told they can either re-apply under the new visa rules or apply through one of the country's provincial nominee programs.

"Canada risks losing the global talent competition for the world's best and brightest as potential immigrants choose to take their skills to other countries with more responsive immigration systems rather than remain in the queue to have their applications processed in Canada," said Finance Minister Jim Flaherty.

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has stated his intention to reform the Canadian immigration system to be more effective in filling labour gaps.

"Our government will reform Canada's immigration system to make it faster and more efficient," said Flaherty. "We will ensure it is designed, above all, to strengthen Canada's economy. As a result we will be better able to fill gaps in our labour force. We will attract more of the entrepreneurs we need to create good jobs and long term economic growth."

Canadian immigration also wants to place more emphasis on young immigrants who are fluent in English or French and whose educational credentials are best suited to getting them jobs.

The Opposition has already voiced concerns about the reforms, saying that there needs to be a more holistic approach to the issue that better takes into account immigrants long-term goals to bring over their families. Immigration lawyers have also voiced their criticism of the plan, claiming that it undermines the time and effort that immigrants put into applying for Canadian visas.

"These people have had the rug pulled out from underneath them," said Montreal-based lawyer David Chalk. "The government of Canada invited people who had certain qualifications to apply, these people invested time, energy, and hope."

Dan Bohbot, head of the Quebec Immigration Lawyers Association, claims that the decision to close these visa files will hurt Canada's reputation abroad.

"People really will not trust the process of immigration in Canada and that's going to affect our reputation and it's going to affect maybe the quality of immigrants wanting to come here in the first place," he said.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada Announces its Intention to Create a New Skilled Trades Program

Calgary, April 10, 2012 — To fill Canada’s growing labour shortages in construction, natural resources and similar industries, Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced plans today to make it easier for skilled tradespersons to immigrate to Canada.

The announcement is the latest in a series Minister Kenney has made about transforming Canada's immigration system into a fast and flexible system focused on jobs, growth and prosperity.

"“Our Government recognizes that our country faces a critical shortage in certain skilled trades,”" said Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney. "“That’s why we are taking concrete steps to address this problem at a national level.”"

Under the modernized Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) to be unveiled later this year, CIC intends to create a separate and streamlined program for skilled tradespersons. Skilled trades include occupations in construction, transportation, manufacturing and service industries. Skilled tradespersons are in high demand in Canada particularly in the natural resources and construction sectors.

Currently, FSW applicants are assessed against a 100-point grid, with a pass mark of 67. The grid takes into account the candidate’s official language ability, education, work experience, age, whether they have a job offer in Canada (arranged employment), and their overall adaptability (which awards points for things like previous work or study in Canada, spouse’s education and relatives in Canada).

Some criteria in the FSW grid, such as years of education, have traditionally favoured professionals and managers more than skilled trades, and thus skilled tradespersons only make up 3 percent of all FSWs entering Canada. During CIC’s consultations on FSWP modernization over the past year, stakeholders also agreed that changes were necessary to make the program more accessible to tradespersons.

The proposed FSWP Skilled Trades program would create a means for skilled tradespersons to be assessed based on criteria geared towards their reality, putting more emphasis on practical training and work experience rather than formal education. The new skilled trades stream would avoid some of the complexities of the traditional points grid. Skilled trades applicants will, however, need to meet minimum language requirements, given the importance of language as a determinant of immigrant success.

"“Above all, our Government remains focused on promoting economic growth and long-term prosperity,”" said Minister Kenney. "“Attracting skilled tradespeople is important for maintaining Canada’s momentum in the global economy.”"

If approved, further details about the Skilled Trades program and the revised FSWP are expected to be announced later in 2012. The full regulatory changes to the FSWP will also be published in the Canada Gazette in due course.

Study says Canadian immigration numbers should be reduced

A new study released this week questions whether Canadian governments should continue to maintain high immigration levels in tough economic times.

The study released 4 April by the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP), proposed that if Canada reduced immigration numbers during recessions then it could possibly improve the overall performance of immigrants. They added that it could also reduce the damage caused when new immigrants enter the labour market but can't find work for lengthy periods of time due to the economy.

"During recessions, economic outcomes deteriorate more among recent immigrants than among the Canadian-born," said the report, "Making it in Canada: Immigration Outcomes and Policies". "It also helps prevent longer-run economic 'scarring' that can occur when new labour market entrants are unable to obtain jobs or are unable to practice their skills over a long period."

Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said he partially agrees with the findings in the report but did not support the idea of reducing migrant numbers during recessions. He added that he is trying to maintain a balance between immigration critics on both sides who have been urging the government to either increase or decrease migrant numbers.

"I think the findings confirm what I've been saying about the struggles of recent immigrants," said Kenney. "This is why I'm saying we need transformative change."

In 2010, Canada accepted over 280,000 permanent residents, the highest level in over fifty years. Canada has one of the highest intakes of immigrants in the world, with a per capita rate double that of the US rate, according to the IRPP report.

Data from the 2006 census shows that immigrants are earning roughly 60 to 70 percent of the wage earned by the average Canadian-born worker in their first few years in the country. This is compared to 85-90 percent in the late 1970s. Prior to the 1980s, Canadian immigration flows used to rise and fall based on Canada's economic performance.

Although the report did state: "Immigration has a very modest impact on measures such as gross domestic product per capita and the government's balance sheet, although whether it is positive, negative or zero is open for debate, with most observers favouring 'small positive'."

Minister Kenney Announces Proposed Plan to Expedite Skilled Workers' Transition from Temporary to Permanent Residence

Winnipeg, April 16, 2012 — To meet Canada's labour market needs more quickly, highly-skilled temporary foreign workers could soon transition to permanent residence faster than before, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

"“Thousands of highly-skilled foreign nationals are working successfully in Canada on a temporary basis,”" said Minister Kenney. "“Expediting their transition to permanent residence would help Canada retain bright and talented people who already have Canadian work experience and the ability to communicate in English or French. In many cases, they already have a job lined up. Such newcomers are set for success.”"

To make Canada's immigration system more flexible and even more responsive to our labour market needs, Citizenship and Immigration Canada intends to reduce the work experience requirement for eligible temporary foreign workers applying to stay permanently. One major benefit of the change would be to make it easier for skilled tradespersons working in Canada to transition to permanent residence as their work is often project-based and can be seasonal.

Currently, to be eligible to apply, applicants under the temporary foreign worker stream of the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) must have acquired 24 months of full-time work experience within the last 36 months. Under the proposed regulatory changes, the requirement would be reduced to 12 months of experience.

The announcement is the latest in a series Minister Kenney has made about transforming Canada's economic immigration program into a fast and flexible system focused on jobs, growth, and prosperity.

Launched in 2008, the CEC offers a pathway to permanent residence – and eventually Canadian citizenship – for international students and temporary foreign workers with highly-skilled Canadian work experience. The CEC aims to support the economic success of immigrants by selecting those who are most likely to succeed in Canada's labour market.

In 2011, a record number of people were admitted to Canada under the CEC. According to preliminary admissions data, 6,022 immigrants were welcomed under the CEC last year, a significant increase in admissions of more than 50 % from 2010. In 2012, 7,000 permanent residents are expected to be admitted through the CEC – more than ever before.

"“The CEC is a key part of our plan for the future of immigration in Canada, and so it is gratifying to see the dramatic growth in the program since its inception,”" said Minister Kenney.

Further details about the proposed changes to the Canadian Experience Class will be announced later in 2012.

Canadian immigration to revamp immigrant investor program

Canadian Immigration has started a consultation process on revamping their Immigrant Investor Program, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced on 13 April 2012. Currently, you cannot apply anyway for the Immigrant Investor Program. The immigrant investor visa cap of 700 has already been reached and the immigrant investor program will be closed at least until 1 July 2012. It is interesting to note that the Canadian entrepreneur visa scheme is currently suspended.

According to Kenney, the government will introduce legislation to amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to allow Kenney to create, change or cancel specialized programs according to market demand and proven effectiveness.

The Immigrant Investor Program is one of the programs that the Canadian Government says will be under review. Kenney said he will be consulting stakeholders, provinces and territories on how best to reform the current Immigrant Investor Program.

"Canada's Immigrant Investor Program undervalues the importance of Canadian Citizenship and fails to ensure that new investors are investing actively in the Canadian economy," said Kenney. "We will consult on changes to ensure that investments by immigrant investors contribute more effectively to growing our economy and creating jobs for Canadians."

"We can no longer be a passive player in the global competition for talent and investment. That is why we need to review and amend our immigration laws to create dynamic programs that allow immigrants' investments to directly benefit the Canadian economy," Kenney said

Critics have argued that the current investor program is really just a cash-for-visa scheme that fast-tracks permanent residency to those who can lend the government $800,000. Immigrant's investments are transferred to the provinces to be used for economic development projects, but, currently is a loan that has to be repaid five years later.

Kenney has suggested that an immigrant investor scheme, which would lead to the active use of investment capital to promote economic growth, will enable Canadian provinces to benefit more than is currently the case from the immigrant investor scheme.

Because of this current repayment system, the program is popular among immigrants and currently has a backlog of 88,555 immigrant investor applications. Yet it may prove to become less popular among immigrant investors who will no longer want to navigate the more expensive process.

Currently in order to be eligible for the program immigrants need to:

- have two years of business experience, meaning you must have been a part or full owner of a business for two years or more, or have managed the
equivalent of five full-time workers in a business for a minimum of two full years,
- have a minimum net worth of $1,600,000 that was obtained legally, and
- make a $800,000 investment

"There are literally millions of millionaires around the world who would love to come to Canada and are willing to invest in this country," Kenney said. "But we've been massively under-pricing that program relative to our major competitors like Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the United Kingdom."

Canada proposes changes to immigrant entrepreneur visa program

Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney announced the department would be discussing the possibility of bringing in changes to the immigrant entrepreneur scheme. Citizenship and Immigration Canada's current immigrant entrepreneur program has been suspended since 1 July 2011.

"Our Government's top priority remains jobs, growth and long-term prosperity. Canada cannot afford to lose out in the competition for foreign entrepreneurs among immigrant-receiving countries," said Kenney. "We need to proactively target a new type of immigrant entrepreneur who has the potential to build innovative companies that can compete on a global scale and create jobs for Canadians."

In the coming months, CIC said they plan to consult with industry associations in the development of a new "startup" visa program for entrepreneurs. These proposed changes will help immigrant entrepreneurs connect with private sector organizations that have experience and expertise working with startups.

"This "startup" visa initiative is an example of the type of small-scale programs that would allow CIC to try innovative approaches to economic immigration," said a government press release.

Canadian immigration also hinted at the possibility of creating other short-term visa programs under the Economic Immigration Class. The proposal is that these visa programs would be limited to no more than 2,750 applications per year and would end after five years. If a program is successful during the five-year trial period, then CIC could choose to extend it.

"Our Government is committed to strengthening the immigration system to make it truly proactive, targeted, fast and efficient in a way that will sustain Canada's economic growth and deliver prosperity for the future," said Kenney.

Immigration Minister Kenney also announced on 13 April that they would begin consultations on changing the immigrant investor program, which currently requires a five-year investment of $800,000.

Canada creates fast track approval process for employers hiring temporary workers

Canada announced this week that if businesses are frustrated by red tape and delays in hiring temporary immigrant workers they may be able to fast track their foreign worker visas.

Canada's Human Resources and Skills Development Minister, Diane Finley, announced that businesses with a two-year positive history of successfully hiring temporary foreign workers will be allowed to apply for fast-tracked hiring. A positive history means that the company has a consistent history of filing genuine and successful visa applications and have not violated any immigration rules. Finley also noted that businesses who violate the rules will have their ability to hire temporary foreign workers suspended for two years.

"Employers with a strong track record in need of high-skilled workers will be able to obtain a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) within 10 business days," Finley said. "Even better news, this is effective immediately."

The fast tracked LMO process will initially apply to Canadian businesses hiring high-skilled immigrant workers.

Canadian employers are currently required in most cases to apply for a LMO before they can hire a foreign worker. This means the company must first prove that it has made an effort to recruit locally and within the country. If it has been unable to find workers, it must apply to Service Canada and receive permission to hire someone for a two-year period from outside the country.

However, recently many Canadian companies have complained about the backlog in Service Canada's processing of LMOs. Some have reported applications taking up to several months to process.

After a Canadian company is approved to hire from abroad, the workers recruited must then apply for a work visa through Citizenship and Immigration Canada. While this new process will help employers complete LMOs faster, this will not fast-track the actual visa applications that workers need to submit after the LMOs are approved.

The new system will also cut down on paperwork for businesses since they'll be able to apply online.

According to Finley, Canadian immigration expects to process about 150,000 temporary foreign worker applications this year.

News Release — Private partners join Federal Internship for Newcomers Program


Ottawa, May 10, 2012 — The Government of Canada is expanding its internship program for newcomers to include private sector companies, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

CGI Group Inc., a leading provider of information technology and business process services, and CIBC, a leading Canadian-based financial institution, will partner with CIC to hire newcomers through the Federal Internship for Newcomers (FIN) Program.

Delivered in partnership with regional immigrant serving organizations and hiring departments and agencies, the FIN Program is a Citizenship and Immigration-led initiative that offers newcomers to Canada the opportunity to gain valuable temporary work experience.

“Lack of Canadian work experience can prevent many newcomers from successfully integrating into the labour market,” said Minister Kenney. “This program is an excellent example of the federal government’s leadership role in helping immigrants enter the Canadian workforce.”

“We hope these new partnerships serve as a model for other private sector companies who are eager to tap into the strong talent pool of newcomers this program provides,” he added.

Through the FIN Program, CIC will provide CGI and CIBC access to newcomers who have been screened for employment readiness to fill temporary and permanent positions in their companies.

“As a global company, we recognize the richness that the diversity of professionals from the FIN program can bring to the company and our clients,” said Alain Brisson, Senior Vice-President, National Capital Region, CGI. “CGI gives its professionals the freedom to innovate, to be entrepreneurial, to achieve their full potential and to chart their own career.”

“At CIBC our workforce needs to continue to mirror the diversity we see within our communities, and we want to recruit the best people,” said Sharon Wingfelder, Vice-President, Diversity and Resourcing. “CIBC is proud to partner with the Federal Internship for Newcomers Program to help immigrants establish a strong new start.”

The announcement was made at the 2012 FIN graduation ceremony in Ottawa where more than 60 newcomers celebrated the end of their eight-month internship with federal government organizations.

Since September 2010, Citizenship and Immigration Canada has provided work placements for more than 130 newcomers in 20 federal departments and agencies. For more information on FIN, visit the website.

Doctors, engineers drive cabs in Canada-Study

Canada, 11th May: Highly qualified foreign professionals including doctors, engineers and architects drive cabs in Canada.

This has been revealed by the findings of a latest study.

University-educated immigrants drive cabs—Aptly named ‘Who Drives a Taxi in Canada’, the study seems to affirm the common saying that tougher job prospects compel many highly-educated individuals to take to taxi driving in Canada.

Canada has nearly thousands of such people who are finding it hard to get employment in their chosen field of expertise. The study involved 50,000 taxi drivers in the year 2006 out of which nearly fifty percent are foreigners.

The study further maintains that twenty percent of such cab drivers possess master’s or undergraduate degree while number of Canada-born cab drivers possessing undergraduate or master’s degree is said to be around 4 percent.

Two hundred immigrants driving taxis are either PhDs or doctors while in case of Canada-born people, those with doctorate or PhD degree driving cabs in Canada is said to be only 55.

In Vancouver, nearly 20 immigrants with PhD degrees are driving cabs due to shortage of jobs here.

Under-employment—root cause of frustration and ailments—Under-employment among immigrants in Canada has resulted in frustration, says Richard Kurland, an immigration lawyer based in Vancouver. It is not uncommon to witness problems of high blood pressure due to increased stress levels among immigrants.

Despite of having a heap of degrees under their belts, newcomers in Canada have to take up jobs that are far below their education level. And this leaves a long-lasting mark on their minds.

Consider, for instance, the case of an immigrant from India who was a qualified civil engineer from India. But, even after repeated attempts to get a job in this chosen field, he failed, says 55-year-old Amrik Mahil.

Mahil admits he had to work in a store along with his wife in the 1980s after moving to Canada. And he became a cab driver in the year 1993 to survive in Canada.

Meanwhile, taking a cue from such incidences, Canada immigration did introduce reforms in the last few years to increase work opportunities for immigrants.

Moreover, Canada has also announced fast recognition of foreign credentials along with compulsory English language tests to improve integration of newcomers in Canada.

Ten Hottest Jobs for Canadian Immigrants

May 30, 2012

Canadian Immigrants and job opportunities
