New language rules for Canada citizenship become effective

New language rules for Canada citizenship become effective 

 

Canada, 17th November: Canada’s new language rules for Canada citizenship have come into effect from 1st November onwards. 


So, all aspirants of Canada citizenship will have to fulfill new requirements for language proficiency in Canada.
New Canada citizenship requirements effective November—As per the announcement made by Canada immigration minister Jason Kenney on 28th September this year, Canada will have new stricter requirements for aspiring Canadian citizens.
All applicants from 1st November onwards will have to fulfill following to become Canada citizens

The new language requirements for Canada citizenship applicants will be required to--

• Possess adequate knowledge of either French;
•Or English (i.e. any of the two official languages of Canada).
So, applicants will be required to furnish evidence or proof of their language abilities in English or French at the time of applying for Canada citizenship.
Any application not submitting the required proof or evidence of language ability along with Canada citizenship application will get his or her application rejected. The requirement is meant for applicants aged 18 and 54 years.
What is adequate knowledge?—Adequate knowledge of official language means the applicant must be able to understand as well as speak basic questions and statements in either English or French, states Paragraph 5(!)(D) of the Citizenship Act(R.S.C., 1985, c. C-29).
Prior to the changes becoming effective 1st November this year, applicants for Canada citizenship were selected on the basis of a written Canada citizenship test.
In case of failing to clear the Canada citizenship written test, applicant was required to clear an oral interview held with any Canada citizenship judge.
It may be worth mentioned that for the knowledge of the applicants for Canada citizenship, some basic information is mentioned on the application form for Canada citizenship itself.
Such information is provided by Canada immigration department-CIC(Citizenship and Immigration Canada) for the benefit of Canada citizenship applicants.
Which are the acceptable proofs of language abilities for Canada citizenship applicants
These include any of the following
• Proof of completion of a post-secondary or secondary education in French or English; or
• Proof of getting appropriate language level in any language training programs funded by government; or
• Any CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada)-approved test conducted by third-party.

 

New Criteria for Canadian Experience Class to be launched in January 2013







changes in Canadian Experience Class would favor the temporary workers

   
Jason Kenney, Immigration Minister has announced the proposed changes in the criteria of Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Worker Program.
The changes in Canadian Experience Class
The changes in this class would reduce the work experience for a temporary foreign worker from 24 months to 12 months.
This would be the criteria for the temporary foreign workers applying for permanent resident-ship.
The other requirements for CEC
The applicant must have a work experience of at least 37.5 paid hours per week.
The applicant should be a graduate. He should also fulfill the criteria of language. In fact, the proficiency of language will be very important criteria for giving weight to his application.
The intention of the changes
The changes are made with the intention of giving a fair chance to the temporary immigrants who hold a working experience in Canada rather than preferring those who would be coming from outside. The Department feels that they would be able to integrate with the society more than a new comer.
Information from the Minister
The Minister, Jason Kenney has informed that the micro details of the reached program would be published in the first half of the coming year.
Also, the New Year would accept a very few number of applications.
He says, “We have been making a lot of changes to our economic immigration system. We will take next few months to do a lot of the heavy lifting to get us closer to a fast and flexible immigration system.”
The past story
The world remembers the announcement in July of 2012 about returning the applications made post February 2008 wherein it was decided to refund the processing fee to the applicants too. The attempt was to clear the backlog as soon as possible.
Even now, the Department seems to be in a mood of accepting a fewer number of applications than they did before.
Canadian Experience Class is the category of Immigration which can attract the best talents across the world. Hence making it effective and fast as well flexible is a great measure to boost the economy of the nation too. This would invite more and more skilled people from the other nations to be a part of development process in the country.

30000 Canada Immigration Applications Rejected

Canadian Government Rejected 30000 applications filed under Federal Skilled Worker Programs before February 27, 2008



















Eliminate the backlog:
 To reduce the massive backlog of 2, 85,000 Federal Skilled Worker applications, Canadian Government in the month of March 2012 announced that all the applications made before February 27, 2008 will be rejected. According to the government all these pending application were preventing them from making any kind of major reforms in the Canadian immigration system.
The Canadian government announced via local press note that they will refund the processing fees to all the permanent residence applications received before February, 272008. By rejecting 285000 applications the government will have to refund approximately $140 million to these rejected applications.
Re-apply: All the rejected applicants will get their refund from the permanent residency application with a communication note that if they wish to apply then they will have to go through the entire processes again.
Immigrants who want to work in Canada will have to file their application under the new Federal Skilled Worker Immigration program announced after February 27, 2008. They can apply under Canadian Experience Class program or Provincial Nominee Program.
There is discontent among the people who have been waiting for last 7 to 8 years to get their application approved. Many of them will not be able to qualify as per the new rules announced by the Canadian Government.
Lawsuit filed : Nearly 890 skilled professionals had taken legal action against the Minister of Immigration and the Canadian Government for going against the pledge to assess and for delayed response.
In a decision released on Thursday June 14th 2012, Justice Donald Rennie rejected the minister’s reasoningthat the pending backlog is correct and he has the authority to make policies. The broadcasting reports stated that the government has hit a dead end in this case of reducing the backlog.
The media reported that Ottawa has suffered a major setback in reducing the backlog after the federal court saidthat the government has to process all these applications in decent time frame.
The court also said that ministers can set directives by which he can reject some applications without taking it forward at all and there is no further going in case of those applications.
All the applicants who are eligible for processing as the new changes after 27th February 2012 should be assessed judiciously within a justified time frame.

Applicants for Federal Skilled Worker Program will get their fee refunded

Federal Skilled Worker Applicants have been asked by the CIC to confirm their contact information for the fee to be refunded




Citizenship Immigration Canada has estimated that they will be refunding the application processing fee to the applicants applying under Federal Skilled Worker Category. 

The back ground of refund
Way back in June 2012, CIC had cancelled the processing of Federal Skilled Worker applications which were submitted before February 2008. Till March 2012, CIC looked indecisive about the way or process of making the refund to the applicants.



The step was taken after a much debated announcement was made by the Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, wherein he had announced that the country needs to clear the backlog of applications coming under various categories of aspiring immigrants.
The Minister had also announced that along with the returning of applications the “processing fee” would also be returned back to the applicants. 

The latest development
In a recent announcement, CIC has made it clear that it would be refunding the application processing fee to as many as 100,000 applicants who had submitted their applications under Federal Skilled Worker Category.
The first and foremost step the applicants need to make is to confirm their contact information.

The formalities for the Applicants
This can be done by filling up the form return of Processing Fee, Right of Permanent Residence Fee or Right of Landing Fee Form to CIC.
The most important to be noted here, is that there refund will not include any kind of interest on it.
FSW applicants who are not sure of the fate of their applications are free to write to the CIC to understand the status of the same.
Those applicants, who had experienced their applications standing rejected before the introduction of the new law, will not get a second consideration. Hence, CIC suggests them to not get their applications status evaluated. Also, they wold not get their processing fee, because their application did not get rejected due to the enforcement of law, rather there might have been other reasons to it. 

The fate of the refund
CIC further announces that they will refund the processing fee to the applicants, but, the same cannot be adjusted with a new set of application, in case an applicant wishes so. This clearly indicates that if an applicant is interested in making a fresh application, he has to submit the form and the fee all over again.
As a matter of fact, CIC has not made any announcement on the new date or criteria to submit the applications afresh.

One-year extension to Canada Super Visa program

Canada, 13th December: Here’s some great news for parents and grandparents wanting to meet their children living in Canada.
Canada Super Visa program extended—The government of Canada has decided to extend Canada Super Visa program for another year. This is being done in response to increased number of applications received under Canada Super Visa program since its launch about a year ago.
Canada government has announced a one-year extension to its immigration program named Canada Super Visa.
Canada Super Visa program has been a super hit with immigrants, especially those hailing from India’s Punjab state, says consul general of Canada, Scot Slessor.
This becomes evident from the fact that nearly 7,000 Canada Super Visa applications were received by consulate office of Canada immigration department-CIC(Citizenship and Immigration Canada) within a period of 12 months since the program’s launch. In the short span of one month, the consulate received a whopping 1,000 applications for Canada Super visas in December 2011.
Canada Super Visas—Canadian immigration department announced launch of Parent and Grandparent Super Visa for foreigners wanting to visit their children or grandchildren living in Canada. Such parents or grandparents need to make an application for Canada Super Visas.
This Canada visas enables them to stay in Canada for a period of up to 24 months at a stretch. So, such Canada visa category is aimed to allow longer period of stay in Canada(Canada visitor visa allows a maximum stay of up to six months after which foreigners need to apply again for getting extension of their stay in Canada) at much lesser cost.
Parent and Grandparent Super Visa does not require any renewal of immigration status for a stay of up to 24 months in Canada. And the best thing is that it’s a multiple entry Canada visa having validity for a period of up to ten years.

Eligibility for Canada Super Visa—Any applicant needs to
• Provide evidence of parent/grandparent relation to the Canadian permanent resident or Canadian citizen;
• Provide a proof of private medical insurance from any Canadian insurance firm and this should be valid for a minimum of one year from the entry date;
• Have undergone a medical checkup and must be admissible on the basis of health;
• Provide a written promise duly signed with regard to financial or monetary support(it can be an invitation letter from the child or the grandchild in Canada hosting them for the duration of their stay in Canada).

Skilled Worker Immigration Program to be re-launched by the mid of 2013

Jason Kenney announces the re-launch of Skilled Worker Immigration Program in May, 2013  May, 2013 is likely to bring “good news” for the immigrants, as this is the time scheduled for the announcement of re-launching “Skilled Worker Immigrant Program”.      The federal Government will be re-launching the program and there is an assurance from immigration Minister Jason Kenney that this time well qualified professionals will not land up serving as a “driver” in order to survive in Canada.   The program which was halted sometime in June this year will now be launched with a change in the selection criteria.  The changes in the selection criteria  • Preference will be given to younger applicants and also to those who are proficient in the official languages of the nation. • An applicant should be well conversed with either French or English for standing a better chance for getting the visa. • Also, the spouse of any applicant will also be judged on the basis of language proficiency. • An applicant holding Canadian Work Experience will be scoring more points than the one with no Canadian Work Experience. • The credentials earned by an applicant will be cross verified and checked against the Canadian standards.  The suggested outcome of the changes  Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says, “The reforms are designed to dramatically improve the economic outcome of newcomers and to help the productivity of the country.” He also adds that the workforce in the nation has been shrinking due to an aging population.  He assures that “an Engineer will be working as an Engineer and a Doctor as the same; this will help the country to meet its national goals too.”  He also informs that steps would be taken to ensure that the earnings made by the immigrants are quite close to the native burns, even if it can’t be made the same.  He is aware of the fact that the ultimate decision to employ and pay an immigrant will be taken by the regulatory agencies, yet every effort will be taken to place the immigrants in the right kind of jobs within a year of their arrival.  The scores earned by an applicant will also decide his or her eligibility for becoming “permanent resident” of the country.  The impact of freezing the application process  Ever since the applications under this category have been frozen, the Department could clear as many as 100,000 backlogged applications. Apart from this, the Government had already returned as many as 280,000 applications submitted before February 2008. Along with this, the government had to make a refund of more than $1 Million in the form of application fee which was submitted by eh applicants.

NEW IMPORTANT UPDATES


Important Updates on the Federal Skilled Worker Backlog Court Case


As many readers of CIC News are aware, recent changes to Canada’s immigration legislation have called for the closure of Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) files submitted before February 28, 2008. Campbell Cohen law firm has been at the forefront of challenging the legality of these changes. Currently, Campbell Cohen is representing 897 pre-February 2008 applicants and their dependents, and along with other lawyers has brought this issue before the Federal Court of Canada.
If you submitted an application to the FSW program before February 28th, 2008, it is not too late to join. 
A Quick Background
In an effort to better select Canadian Permanent Residents and reduce immigration backlogs, in February 2008 the Canadian government amended the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The amendments granted the Canadian Immigration Minister the authority to take action (issue instructions) such as establishing application intake quotas, new application requirements, and new immigration categories. The changes in this amendment apply only to applications submitted on or after February 28, 2008.
The Immigration Minister, under the amendments, made changes to the FSW that included restricting the number of eligible occupations and introducing an intake cap of 20,000 (later reduced to 10,000) applications a year.
These new instructions created a hierarchy within the files waiting to be processed. Newer files were processed faster than those submitted before February 28, 2008. As of March 2012, there was still a significant application backlog. The Immigration Minister therefore made the decision on March 20th, 2012 to eliminate those applications submitted to the FSW program before February 28, 2008. This amounts to the return of approximately 280,000 immigration applications.
A more detailed background can be found in CIC News’ earlier article on the subject.
The Court Case Today
The lawyers arguing the case before Federal Court have two primary objectives. Firstly, they are seeking their cases to be certified as a Class Action Lawsuit. To do this, the Court must be convinced that all applicants who are challenging the decision may be represented as a single unit, or class. If successful, these applicants will have their claims argued in a single Court hearing. The result of the hearing will apply to all applicants. The second objective goes to the merits of the case. The Court must first determine that there is a serious issue to rule on and if it does, then the Court must ultimately decide if the government’s action is legal or illegal. The Certification Hearing will be held in November 2012.
On September 18, 2012 a Stay Motion was presented to the Court wherein the lawyers requested an Order that would prevent the government from beginning the process of terminating applications and returning government processing fees. The Motion was dismissed, but all was not lost because:
  • An agreement was reached with the Department of Justice on behalf of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to:
    • not initiate communication with applicants to process termination of their applications;
    • not issue refunds unless applicants directly wish a refund; and
    • not destroy files until the outcome of the next step in the proceeding in November
  • It is clear following this proceeding that based on fact and law individual applicants can challenge the termination of their applications in Federal Court, if necessary.

ANOTHER NEW RULES FOR YOU KABAYANS


New Rules for Family Class Spousal Sponsorship


Canada has a longstanding commitment to family values. This commitment is reflected in the government’s ongoing efforts to keep immigrant families together whenever possible.
One of the main avenues that Canadians use to bring their loved ones to Canada is the Family Class Sponsorship program. Thousands of family members have received Canadian Permanent Residency through this program. However, at times people have attempted to use the program as a way to sidestep standard Canadian immigration requirements. To encourage legitimate applications, new legislation has recently been implemented to ensure that the Family Class program continues to be a safe and effective way of bringing loved ones to Canada.
What is the Family Class Sponsorship Program?
The Family Class Sponsorship program allows Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their close family members for Canadian Permanent Residency. For Canadian immigration purposes, close family members are defined as the following:
  • Spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner;
  • Dependent child;
  • Parent or Grandparent*;
  • Brother, sister, nephew, niece, or grandchild
    • Must be orphaned, under 18 years of age, and not married or in a common-law partnership
  • Intended adopted child under 18 years of age;
  • Other relative, if the Canadian sponsor has no relative listed above and no relatives who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents
*At this time, no new applications for parent or grandparent sponsorship are being accepted. However, interested parties may apply for a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa.
Sponsors in Canada must agree to support their family member socially and financially upon their arrival in Canada. Both sponsors and their family members must be approved to apply through the Family Class program.
New Rules for Spousal Sponsorship
Two new rules have been added for cases of spouse/common-law partner sponsorship. They are the following:
1. 5-Year Restriction on Sponsorship (March 2nd, 2012)
  • Canadian Permanent Residents who were sponsored as a spouse/common-law partner cannot become a sponsor themselves until they have been a Permanent Resident for 5 years.
  • In this way, fraudulent applicants will not be able to manipulate the program and sponsor a partner living abroad.
2. Two-Year “Legitimate Relationship” Regulation (October 26th, 2012)
  • This rule applies to spouses/partners who have been in a relationship for two years or less and who have no children in common with their sponsor at the time of application submission.
  • Once in Canada, the sponsored individual will receive conditional Permanent Residency. They must live with their spouse/partner in a ‘legitimate relationship’ for two years, or face the possibility of having their Permanent Residency revoked.
  • Exceptions will be made for sponsored spouses or partners who are suffering from abuse or neglect.
The Logic Behind the New Rules
Fraud is always a concern in spousal sponsorship applications because of the somewhat subjective nature of the relationship. Marriage fraud can take a number of forms. Sometimes, a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident is duped by a foreigner who feigns romantic interest and convinces them to become a sponsor. Other times, intricate marriages of convenience will be undertaken, often with a cash incentive for the involved parties. Fraud disadvantages those who have applied in good faith and waited patiently to bring their loved ones to Canada.
“There are countless cases of marriage fraud across the country,” said Immigration Minister Jason Kenney. “I have consulted widely with Canadians, and especially with victims of marriage fraud, who have told me clearly that we must take action to stop this abuse of our immigration system.”
By placing restrictions on spousal sponsorship, it is hoped that incentives for committing fraud will be greatly reduced without discouraging genuine applicants. Other countries, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, have imposed similar restrictions with success. It is hoped that Canada will follow in their footsteps, and no longer be seen as a ‘soft target’ for fraudsters.

CANADA IS THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE MGA KABAYANS


Canadian Economy Creates High-Paying Jobs


hired

Since the beginning of 2012, Canada’s job growth has expanded to include a record number of high-quality positions. This is according to a report by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).
Over 155,000 jobs have been created this year thus far. This is a higher number than economists were expecting. Of these jobs, many were full-time positions in high-paying sectors of the economy. Because of this increase in quality positions, Canada is currently enjoying the highest level of job quality since the beginning of the global economic recession.
Job growth varied from province to province. Quebec outpaced all provinces in terms of total job creation. The leader for most improved job quality was British Columbia, where 90 percent of new jobs were full-time and well paying. Ontario came in a close second.
CIBC explained that one driving factor in the recent surge of quality jobs was an overall expansion of Canada’s manufacturing sector. This sector was responsible for creating 88,000 jobs in the past 6 months – more than half of all new jobs created. These jobs were generally in high-tech, skilled manufacturing fields.

NEW RULES MGA KABAYAN ,New Citizenship Language Rules to Take Force in November


Beginning November 1, 2012, citizenship applicants will
 have to follow new rules to prove their competency 
in one of Canada’s official languages.
“Extensive research has consistently shown that the 
ability to communicate effectively in either French 
or English is a key factor in the success of new citizens 
in Canada,” said Immigration Minister Jason Kenney.
 “We believe it is important that new citizens be 
able to participate fully in our economy and our society.”
The Canadian Citizenship Act requires that all adult 
applicants for Canadian citizenship must be able to 
communicate in either French or English. Previously, 
language ability was assessed on an individual basis 
by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) officers. 
Beginning in November, CIC will be adopting a more objective 
assessment process. Applicants will be required to submit 
one of the following:
  • The results of a CIC-approved third-party test; or
  • The evidence of completion of secondary or post-secondary
  •  education in English of French; or
  • The evidence of achieving the appropriate language level 
  • in certain government-funded language training programs.
Providing evidence of language ability will now be required 
in order to submit an application for Canadian citizenship. Applications that are submitted without the necessary 
language documents will be returned.

Good News Mga Kababayans, Ontario Wants 135,000 New Immigrants Each Year

welcome to ontario

An expert roundtable on immigration to Ontario has concluded that immigration to the province should be increased to 1% of its population, or approximately 135,000 people a year. Of this number, it is advised that at least 65-70% come economic immigration classes.
In 2001, 2002, and 2005, immigration levels exceeded 135,000 per year. However, immigration levels have dropped slightly as other provinces compete to attract new arrivals. In 2011, just 99,000 immigrants landed in Ontario.
By raising the number of immigrants coming to Ontario, as well as focusing on economic immigration classes, Ontario hopes to infuse its province with an influx of young, productive, and innovative workers. As immigration numbers rise, this will mean that non-economic programs like Family Sponsorship will remain high despite an increase in workers.
Home to Canada’s capital as well as its largest city, Ontario has long been the most popular destination for immigrants coming to Canada. While the majority of its immigrants arrive through the Federal Skilled Worker Class of immigration, the province has also suggested that its Provincial Nominee Program raise its visa issuance quota from 1,000 to 5,000 annually.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada Cracks Down on Marriage Fraud

be aware mga kabayans on new rules in arranged marriage

As part of its ongoing efforts to reduce marriage fraud in Canada, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has introduced new legislation related to spousal sponsorship.
Certain sponsored spouses will now be required to live in a ‘legitimate relationship’ with their sponsor for two years after receiving Permanent Residency. If this is not adhered to, Permanent Residency status may be revoked. These measures apply to all applications received on or after October 25th, 2012.
The regulations apply to couples who have been in a relationship for two years or less and who share no children with their sponsor at the time they submit their application. Once Permanent Residency is received in Canada, the couple must continue their relationship for at least another two years.
An exception to the regulations has been put in place for partners suffering abuse and neglect. If evidence of such a relationship can be provided, and the abuse stems directly from the sponsor, the two-year relationship requirement will be waived.
“I have consulted widely with Canadians, and especially with victims of marriage fraud, who have told me clearly that we must take action to stop this abuse of our immigration system,” said Immigration Minister Jason Kenney. “Sometimes the sponsor in Canada is being duped and sometimes it’s a commercial transaction. Implementing a two-year conditional permanent residence period will help deter marriage fraud, prevent the callous victimization of innocent Canadians and help us put an end to these scams.”

our proud FILIPINO KABAYANS who make their famous spotlight around the globe

THE TOP 10 FILIPINOS WHO BECOME 
FAMOUS AROUND THE GLOBE

Filipinos have always made their marks wherever they go around the world, whichever field they would take. Whether they’d be half or full-blooded Filipinos, it doesn’t really matter—they would still have that courageous blood of Rizal in their veins and their achievements would make millions of Filipinos around the globe proud. So since many have already made their marks, I have compiled a list of famous Filipinos that deserve a Hall of Fame Award, Filipino version.




1.Lea Salonga
Who else deserves the highest spot in this list but the very talented and always humble singer-actress that won the hearts of many people all around the world with her compelling voice. She’s the voice behind Kim in Miss Saigon, Mulan, and many other famous musical films.





2.Charise Pempengco
Her fame as one of the most watched in Youtube and most Googled young Filipina singer, may be instantaneous but she sure does deserve the second to the highest spot. She is the girl that has the voice as powerful as that of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, and fortunate enough to be able to sing together with the latter.

3.Manny Pacquiao—I would dare say that no one in this planet would not know the phenomenal and undefeated Pinoy boxer. His fights never fail to calm the rebels and unite all the Filipinos as well as other nationalities all over the world. When its Pacquiao's fight, its like the world would from revolving on its axis and everything would freeze.


4.Carlo Ocab
I’m a blogger and I would always be proud of this now 15-year-old Filipino blogger who topped and still holds the crown in the most competitive keyword in the internet marketing world, “make money online’’. He started blogging, or atleast being noticed at the age of 13. Wow! His skills only prove that in every work, age doesn’t really matter. And in every field, Filipinos could always excel.





5.Dave Batista, Jr.
Or simply Batista,wrestling fans would always associate his name with one of the best the world has ever have. He may be half-Filipino but he sure do have the skills that every Pinoy could always be proud of.

6.Jasmine Trias
She might have not made it to the top 3 but she has been one of the most influential Filipino-American Idol ever even to the extent that Hawaii even declared a day for her. Her votes could have made her the mayor of her town! She’s undeniably talented and sweet.







7.Vanessa Hudgens
The High School Musical sweetheart and rumored to have auditioned for the teen-thriller, Twilight, for the role of Leah. Needless to say she’s beautiful, talented and very charming.


8.Kiwi Camara—at the age of 19, he was the youngest and one of the brightest law graduate from Harvard. Not much was written about this amazing young man but he was able to prove Filipinos are very intellectual.


9.Nicole Scherzinger—lead singer of Pussy Cat Dolls. Very beautiful, astounding and talented. She deserves a place in the Filipinos Hall of Fame.



10.Arnel Pineda—The Journey,The Voice. Very amazing indeed. After many years of searching for their lead singer, the group has found their man in Arnel. His voice is like no other.
