SINP Family Members Category New Requirements

Friday, May 18, 2012


Family Referral

Note:  Beginning May 1, 2012, the SINP will limit the number of concurrent nominations/applications that can be supported to one per household until the principal applicant successfully settles in Saskatchewan.  The principal applicant will also be required to have an offer of employment in a National Occupational Classification (NOC) code A or B or designated trade.
This category is for immigrant families living in Saskatchewan who want to help their skilled and educated family members come to work and live in the province.
Applicants must have a relative who has been living in Saskatchewan for at least one year.  They must be willing to provide applicants with assistance during the immigration process and after they arrive in Saskatchewan.  These relatives are called supporting family members.
For more information on the roles and responsibilities of supporting family members, see the Application Guide for the Family Referral Category.
Spouses or common-law partners are not eligible to apply under this category.  They need to apply under the Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) Family Class.

Eligibility

To be considered for the SINP Family Referral Category, you must:
  1. Be between 18 - 49 years old.
  2. Have a signed affidavit of support (SINP-500-22) from your supporting family household in Saskatchewan.
  3. Have completed post-secondary education, training, or apprenticeship of at least one year in length that has resulted in a diploma, a certificate, or a degree.
  4. Have at least one year of work experience in the past 10 years in your intended occupation (your employment offer in Saskatchewan). 
  5. Have an offer of full-time, permanent employment in Saskatchewan either in an occupation or trade in the NOC Matrix level "A" or "B", or in a designated trade in Saskatchewan.  
  6. Have sufficient language proficiency in one or both of the official languages in Canada.

Application Guide

This Application Guide outlines the requirements for the Family Referral Category of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).  It includes all the instructions necessary for preparing your application.
All applicants to this category must complete the provincial forms, the required federal forms and any other federal forms that apply to their situation.  They must submit all of the completed, signed SINP forms, along with photocopies of federal forms and supporting documents detailed in the application guide, to the SINP.  If original federal forms and supporting documents are included, the entire package may be returned and you will have to re-apply.

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program



British Columbia (BC), situated in the westernmost part of Canada, is a province renowned for its cosmopolitan population and great natural beauty. Almost half of its 4.5 million residents live in and around the metropolitan areas of Vancouver and the capital city of Victoria. However, the province is also experiencing growth in the countryside as workers flock to fill positions in the booming natural resources industry.
The province’s long history as a center for immigration can be evidenced today in its diverse population. In fact, British Columbia is considered the most demographically diverse province in Canada. There are particularly vibrant immigrant communities hailing from China and other East and South Asian countries, giving the province a unique cultural flavor.
The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP) is the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) for this province. Like all PNPs, it encompasses a number of different categories of immigration through which eligible applicants may apply for Canadian Permanent Residency (PR). Qualified applicants may receive a provincial nomination certificate, which takes approximately 16-18 weeks to process. The certificate is then sent with the rest of their application to the Federal government for health and security screening. Using this system, British Columbia is able to select the immigrants that will best contribute to the province.

Categories of BCPNP Immigration
The BCPNP program organizes its immigration streams into two general categories: Strategic Occupations and Business Immigrants. There are several sub-categories of these two groups, each with its own unique qualification requirements.

Strategic Occupations:
The Strategic Occupations group is broken down into five sub-categories. These aim to target skilled and semi-skilled workers who will help to build British Columbia’s economy. Nominees in these categories must either have a job offer of indeterminate length from a BC employer, or have completed a masters or doctorate degree at a BC post-secondary institution in the natural, health, or applied sciences.

Skilled Worker This stream is designed for applicants who have permanent, full-time job offers from a BC employer in a skilled occupation. The employer must be considered eligible to request provincial nomination, and the job offer must meet federal and provincial labour standards. The employee will also have to prove that they are qualified to fill the position by merit of their education and work experience.

International Graduates – Applicants in this category must submit a BCPNP application within two years of graduating from a recognized post-secondary education institution in Canada. They must have received a permanent, full-time job offer from a BC-based employer. Applicants can be hired as `skilled` or `semi-skilled` labourers, provided that in the case of a semi-skilled job offer the employer can demonstrate a structured plan for the job to progress to a skilled level.

International Post-Graduate Pilot Project This Pilot Project has been implemented for a 3 year period, and will remain open to receive applications until 28 May 2013. Graduates from an eligible Masters or Doctorate program in British Columbia, with a degree in a targeted field within the natural, applied, or health sciences, may apply through this immigration stream.
An application must be submitted within two years of graduation, and it is expected that if more than 6 months have elapsed since graduation the candidate will have applied for and received a valid temporary work permit. However, a job offer is not required to apply to this stream.

Designated Health ProfessionalsThree health professions have been targeted by the province for immigration through this stream. They are registered nurses/registered psychiatric nurses, physicians, and midwives. Slightly different application rules apply to each profession, but all must be able to legally practice in British Columbia. All must also have been recruited for work by regional health authorities. Health professionals who do not fall into this stream may be eligible to apply through the Skilled Worker stream.

Entry Level and Semi-Skilled This stream is for workers currently in Canada who are working in semi-sklled positions (classified as C or D level according to the National Occupation Classification) in the tourism, food processing, or long-haul trucking industries. Nominee applicants must have worked for their nominating employer full-time for at least nine consecutive months before they can apply to the BCPNP. In addition, applicants must have completed a minimum of 12 years of education, and hold valid licensing if applying as a long-haul truck driver. Beginning in 2012, language testing in English will be required of all applicants.

Northeast Pilot Project In an effort to further develop its Northeastern sector, the BCPNP has created the Northeast Pilot Project. This two-year pilot will be accepting applications until 4 April 2014. For this region only, semi-skilled applicants in any C or D position may be eligible to apply to the BCPNP. Applicants must still fulfill all other requirements. High skilled workers in this region may apply to the regular Skilled Worker stream.
In all cases where a job offer is required, the employer and the employee (the nominee applicant) submit joint applications to the BCPNP. Generally speaking the nominee applicant will have to prove the following:
• That they intend to settle in BC
• That they can become economically established in BC
• That they do not have an active refugee claim
• If inside Canada, they maintain legal immigration status
• If outside Canada, they are residing legally in their current country of residence

Business Immigration:
The Business Immigration category offers accelerated immigration to individuals prepared to invest in a British Columbia business and settle in the province. It is organized into three categories: business skills, regional businesses, and strategic targets. Generally speaking, businesses must fulfill the following three requirements to be eligible for any immigration stream:
• The primary purpose of the business must be to earn profits from active income;
• The business` sustained commercial viability must be likely; and
• The business must economically benefit British Columbia
Business Skills – Applicants in this category must be prepared to invest a minimum of $400,000 in a BC-based business. They will have to own at least one-third of the business, and participate in its daily management. The business must create at least three jobs, and one key staff member may be brought from abroad. Applicants will have to provide additional information that attests to their personal net worth and ability to practically establish a business in British Columbia.
Fast Track OptionA fast track option is available for individuals who make a conditionally refundable deposit of $125,000 with the province.
Business Succession Plan Buy Out – Another option under this stream is to buy an existing BC-based business instead of creating a new one. The purchased business must be outside of the Vancouver metropolitan area, be operated by the same owner for at least five years, and have non-family employees.
Regional Business – Regional business applicants must invest a minimum of $200,000 in a business venture outside of the Vancouver and Abbotsford metropolitan areas. The business must create at least one job for a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and they must own at least one-third of the business. Applicants will have to provide additional information that attests to their personal net worth and ability to practically establish a business in British Columbia.
Similar Fast-Track and Business Succession Plan Buy-Out options are available through this stream.
Strategic Projects – This stream helps foreign companies establish their business in British Columbia. Up to 5 key staff may come to the province to assist in the enterprise. A minimum of $500,000 must be invested, and at least 3 jobs must be created and filled by Canadian citizens or permanent residents. No fast-track option is available for this stream, but a Business Succession Plan Buy-Out may be pursued in some circumstances.

Arrival in British Columbia
Once they have arrived in British Columbia, newcomers can access a wide range of government services dedicated to helping them become settled in their new home. Settlement agencies can be found in most cities and large towns. These agencies assist new arrivals with language, community connections, employment, and practical settlement issues.
Free English classes of various levels are offered to immigrants and temporary residents. Through the Host Volunteer program, newcomers can get connected with local Canadian volunteers, who will assist them in integrating into their new communities. The Skills Connect for Immigrants Program has been created by BC to help skilled immigrants connect with employers in the province who are in need of their knowledge and experience. Finally, Settlement Information and Support Services helps new arrivals with day-to-day issues of integrating into their new home. By accessing this system, immigrants can get help with things such as securing health insurance and enrolling their children in school.
The BCPNP program is rapidly growing to help support British Columbia’s labour market needs. However, the province has dedicated itself to not only growing economically, but also to supporting the new immigrants that will help it do so.

Refund up to $130 million FSW Processng Fees, Proposed.

Wednesday, April 04, 2012



I'm sorry to be the bearer of this bad news for FSW applicants filed before February 27, 2008. It looks like Citizenship and Immigration Canada is serious is wiping out the FSW backlog.

The Government of Canada is proposing to return applications and refund up to $130 million in fees paid by certain federal skilled worker applicants who applied under previous criteria established prior to February 27, 2008.

$130 million FSW fees

Options for Pre-February 27, 2008 FSW Applicants




The proposed legislation aiming to close the files of FSW applicants who applied before February 27, 2008, and for whom an immigration officer has not made a decision based on selection criteria by March 29, 2012 will most likely be passed in the Parliament.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada thinks it has the power to put these changes in place. Whether this is legal or not, one thing is certain: It is a sad news for those affected by the changes.


The question now is, what happens next? What are the options or remedy for those who will be affected?

On the question of how will this change may affect one's application, please refer to the Questions and answers: Changes that affect Federal Skilled Worker applications provided by the Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

Q. Would I be affected if CIC removes the FSW backlog?

A. Under the proposed changes, CIC would close Federal Skilled Worker applicants’ files if they:

* applied before February 27, 2008, and
* have not had a decision made by an immigration officer based on selection criteria by March 29, 2012. (information on selection criteria is below)

We expect this would affect around 280,000 people including dependents.

If the proposed law is passed, CIC would begin to return the full amount of fees paid by affected FSW applicants.

[Source: http://cic.gc.ca]

We of course understand that it's not easy accepting this development specially if you have waited for almost 8 years already only to be told that your application will not be processed.

But all is not lost. For Canadian Immigration Consultancy clients, we will come up with a program how they can continue to avail of our services even though their file has been returned.

I'm still interested to live and work in Canada, what should I do?

The process has gotten more difficult. But for something as valuable as an immigrant visa to Canada, it is still worth it. For those with the skills, education and English ability there is no investment that is going to yield a higher return on investment than an immigrant visa to Canada. The investment is small, the risk is low, compared to the benefits an immigrant visa will bring to those so fortunate enough to get an immigrant visa to Canada. Take charge and pursue your goals, “Get Ready”.

Option No. 1: Submit a new application under the new Federal Skilled Workers program

The Canadian government is taking a bold step in clearing their backlog of immigration cases. The Canadian government feels they must be able to change more quickly to the needs of employers. It means anyone interested in immigrating to Canada in the future must be “Ready at All Times" to file their application when their occupation opens or when they get selected by a Canadian employer for a job.

Another Ministerial Instruction is expected to issued this coming July 2012. If your occupation will be included in the new priority list, you may have a very short window of opportunity. Preparation starts now. Take the IELTS Exam; get your documents ready; get your credentials assessed if your occupation is regulated in Canada. In other words, be ready to enter the door when it opens this July 2012!

Option No. 2: Provincial Nominee Program

Use your network of relatives and friends to help you find employers in Canada or to provide Provincial Nominee support. Here's how to find jobs in Canada.

Option No. 3: Student Visa

This option is for those who no longer have the ideal age to submit a new application. If you have children in university or newly graduated, another path is for them to take advanced educational courses in Canada. Your children may take the opportunity of working in Canada and then converting their visas to an immigrant visa. Even though the Canadian government is slowing down the reunion of parents, they are offering the super visa that will allow parents to go to Canada and live with their children.

This is unfair, I want justice! I want my voice to be heard!

In the past, there's always a Grandfather clause every time there are changes in Canada's immigration regulations. But this time, the Immigration Minister seems to be capitalizing on Bill C-50 which gave him the power to decide which application shall be process quickly, put on hold, or worst, to be returned unprocessed.

However, there are those who argue that the power given to the Immigration Minister was limited only to applications filed after Feb 27, 2008 and that returning the applications filed before the said that is unconstitutional.
