These programs focus on attracting the best and the brightest from around the world to bring their skills and experience to Canada. Often, many of these workers already have job offers in Canada in managerial, professional or technical positions. 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.]]> //canadian-visa-lawyer.com/event/ Thu, 16 Jun 2016 10:58:51 +0000 https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=1561 https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/canadas-foreign-worker-program-what-employers-need-to-know/ Tue, 08 Oct 2013 01:32:06 +0000 https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=791 We are constantly hearing that Canada is facing a shortage of workers and that we need to turn to immigration to satisfy the labour market needs of Canadian employers. Yet, while economists and demographers continue to chronicle Canada's labour shortage and that foreign workers are badly required to sustain our economic growth, the Government of Canada has been making numerous changes throughout this spring and summer that are of key significance to employers. Two controversial cases this past winter concerning Chinese mine workers in Northern British Columbia and the Royal Bank's termination of domestic employees while outsourcing work off shore, garnered considerable media attention. The government reacted by dramatically modifying its foreign worker program and making it tougher for employers to bring in foreign workers to Canada. ]]> 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. ]]> https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/canadas-skilled-worker-program-re-opens-its-doors/ Tue, 14 May 2013 01:18:47 +0000 https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=776 Canada's skilled worker program for permanent residence was re-opened on May 4, 2013 after several months of being suspended. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney closed the program in June of 2012 to further address a backlog of applications as well as to overhaul the program. The skilled worker category has been the cornerstone of Canada's economic immigration program for decades but in recent years had built up a backlog of nearly one million applications that were often taking in excess of five years to process. The newly re-introduced skilled worker program is designed to allow processing to occur far more quickly. In addition the new program changes shift emphasis from education and foreign work experience to language proficiency and Canadian work experience with the goal of enhancing an immigrant's ability to integrate into the Canadian workplace more quickly.]]> https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/canadas-business-immigration-program-to-be-back-in-business-with-the-new-start-up-visa/ Fri, 15 Feb 2013 23:39:41 +0000 https://canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=760 On January 24, 2013, Minister Kenney awakened the sleeping business immigrant program with the introduction of the New Start-Up Visa, the first of its kind in the world!
