However, there is currently no federal pathway to permanent residence for low or semi-skilled workers other than the Caregiver class. Under Canada’s immigration program, low and semi-skilled workers do not qualify to apply for permanent residence under Canada’s Express Entry System, leaving it to Canada’s provinces and territories to attract and retain these overlooked but important workers.]]> https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/immigration-minister-announces-immigration-levels-plan-for-2016/ Tue, 22 Mar 2016 22:35:47 +0000 https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=1536 On March 8, 2016, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, the Honourable John McCallum, announced the overall immigration targets for 2016.

Speculation had been circulating for years that the program might be drastically changed including eliminating the Permanent Resident component.

Two key components of the economic immigration program, the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), are slated to achieve their highest levels of admissions ever. The 2014 immigration plan is targeted to achieve continued economic growth for 2014 and the coming years ahead.]]> https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/immigration-101-what-every-international-student-needs-to-know/ Sat, 21 Sep 2013 01:30:30 +0000 https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=789 The start of each new school term brings exciting opportunities for international students. In addition to experiencing a new country and obtaining an international education, international students have numerous opportunities to work and live in Canada both during and after their studies. Yet, nearly every month I am consulted by international students facing removal from Canada without being allowed to complete their studies. What can international students do to maximize their opportunities not only from an educational perspective but also for immigration purposes?]]> https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/the-doors-are-open-canada-invites-economic-immigrants/ Wed, 29 May 2013 01:22:42 +0000 https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=779 Over the past five months, Canada's Minister of Immigration has either created, modified or re-opened 5 separate categories for immigration to Canada in the economic program. This signals a strong message to the world that the doors are open for immigrants to Canada and also demonstrates the Canadian government's recognition of the significance that immigrants play in Canada's overall economic growth. ]]>
