A Fleeting Glance at Canada Immigration, Visa and Citizenship

by Abhinav Outsourcings

As it is well-known, Canada, the Maple Country, is one of the globe/s leading immigration destinations (apparently, it enjoys a position in the top 5). Every year, the country's concerned visa and immigration organization--Citizenship and Immigration Canada (the CIC)--registers more than 200,000 visitors.
Immigration to Canada is the procedure, via which individuals shift to the country, to live there. Most of the people--after getting a Canada Visa or Canada Permit of their choice & preference--try to acquire the prized Canadian citizenship, and become citizens, for understandable reasons.

Citizenship of the Maple Countryalso famed as the 'Land of Milk & Honey'-- is characteristically pocketed, via birth in the country, birth overseas when not less than 1 parent enjoys citizenship of Canada and was born or naturalized there, or through adoption overseas by not less than 1 citizen of the nation.
The same may also be offered to an individual, who enjoys permanent residency status, has resided in the country for not less than 1095 days out of 4 years, before filing a petition, can work using the English or French language & sails through a test for national knowledge. Available data suggests that nearly 170,000 permanent residents acquire the nation's citizenship status every year.

In view of the widespread and growing interest of the world migrants in movement to the country, the country's Federal & Provincial administrations are continually bringing-in fresh regulations and schemes to effect positive resettlement for the world migrants, under a variety of easy-to-follow visa-categories.

Consequently, several wonderful immigration and visa options exist under which the migrants from across the globe could arrive and reside in the nation with the most accepted being Skilled Worker Visa, Business/Investor Visa, Study Visa, The Visitor Visa or TRV (Temporary Resident Permit), Family Class Visa, etc.

Perhaps, the trained worker category is the most widely used Canadian visa course employed for the object of movement to the nation even while this points-based visa-scheme is especially framed for those overseas people, who possess high levels of expertise & knowledge in a given field, which could be much in demand in the country.

Immigration to the nation also covers a special permit class for the immigrants who come under the business category. The CIC also permits Quebec (one of the key national provinces) to choose migrants, according to its own specific requirements. Much remarkably, 40% of the yearly immigration made to the country is carried-out under its refugee & family reunion schemes.

The American Dream: Immigrants and Entrepreneurs

by Alysia Suarez

 

The United States has long been the destination for people in pursuit of a better life. The "American Dream" draws immigrants seeking out freedoms including the opportunity for prosperity and success. These dreams include the chance to start their own businesses. The recent U.S. Census found that immigrants own 18% of small businesses in the U.S., a six percent increase from 1990. To put this into perspective, immigrants only account for 13% of the total U.S. population (Arora). Although immigrants have had to confront the poor economy and the lack of opportunities to secure traditional financing, they have proven themselves to be formidable entrepreneurs using determination and hard work to create successful businesses.

The entrepreneurial drive demonstrated by immigrants was born through the sacrifices made coming to the United States. Leaving their country and family behind in hopes of finding a better life provides the drive to succeed. Jim Blaine, CEO of the State Employees Credit Union, said 'Latinos are following in the footsteps of European immigrants a century ago. They all come in, and they have to be entrepreneurs" (Deconto). The numerous immigrants that I have interviewed over the past decade have shared that they have sacrificed to come to the United States in order to have the possibility of a better life for themselves and their children. They don't mind working multiple jobs to support themselves and their families both here and back home while they also save up to start-up their own business. Although the current economy crisis has had a major impact on many within the United States, and many are fearful of the uncertain future, it is the immigrants who hold onto hope that even through these challenging times there is room for growth and a chance at a better life that what they left. There are many reasons for people to immigrate to a foreign land but most come hoping for the possibility to embrace a new life where they are in control of their destiny through certain freedoms that are afforded to all within the United States. These freedoms include freedom to: choose your own religion, operating in a capitalist society, seek out an education, and make a better life for your family.

Even before the financial crisis started and funding became more challenging, immigrants faced the reality that seeking traditional financing would be difficult. Traditional lenders request a variety of documentation and proof of financial stability to support loans. This can be challenging for many immigrants. Any immigrant who recently immigrated would not have a credit score, nor access to credit or a solid job history, even if they earned a decent living in their home country. The culture of holding tight to family bonds and supporting each other collectively is what makes financing possible for many new start-up ventures of immigrants. Stieber writes, that although 'there are many government resources available to would-be entrepreneurs, most still rely on family and friends for most financing and other forms of support' (Stieber).

Interestingly enough, the majority of the immigrant entrepreneurs do not have college degrees (Arora). Even when immigrants have a degree from a higher educational institutions, their qualifications are often not recognized within the United States. Due to the limited employment opportunities, immigrants decide to start their own businesses and hire other immigrants to work with them and help run their businesses. However, an estimated 4.7 million U.S. workers are employed by immigrant owned firms gathering some $776 billion in revenues, according to the most recent figures in the Fiscal Policy Institute report (Koba). This observation that immigrants who do not have any formal higher education are able to start-up businesses in a foreign country is an example of how attitude and hard work go a long way in the entrepreneurial realm.

History has shown that immigrants in the United States of America provide remarkable economic strength. The U.S. attracts immigrants with its pro-growth culture and outstanding universities who often stay and create valuable, fast-growing startup firms. The current fear surrounding the economic crisis has capped visas and green cards available to immigrants, which has led to a decline in foreign workers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. As a result, the U.S. is currently at risk of losing its footing as the “brain magnet” compared to other nations (Immigration & Entrepreneurship). What will the future administration decide in regards to immigration? One thing is for sure: the passion and drive that is required to be a successful entrepreneur can be found in many immigrants who come to the U.S. seeking out a better life.

by Abhinav Outsourcings

Immigration To Canada Is a Way That People From Other Countries Can Move To Canada. A country with vast expanse of uninhabited terrain but with a flamboyant and burgeoning economy is the most sought after destination for many millions across the globe. This North American country has been traditionally built on the waves of migrations from other countries. Even the original inhabitants of this land are believed tom have cross over the Baring strait over a million years ago from Russian mainland.

Till the 15th century this land lay in obscurity, unknown and undiscovered. The things started to change as more and more European explorers started landing on the mainland Canada and finally after a tussle with the French colonized part now Quebec Canada was declared a confederation under the Queen of England. The country struck the chord of prominence when the volunteers of royal Canadian army participated in anti German crusades in world war. The things were set to change and a country had appeared on the horizons of the globe.

The country made several advances in mid war era and post 2nd world war times saw this country rise to the positions and ranks of a developed nation with manufacturing industry taking the front seat and contributing to the progress of the nation. With that a new phenomena was on rise and like all other first world countries Canadian economy too needed an incessant supply of willing trained and qualified personnel to enter the country and contribute to an ever expanding economy. People were required from all walks of life and every field of technical and support skills which could actually be helpful in fuelling the progress mechanism of the country.

The Immigration to Canada as a Way of People from Other Countries Moving to Canada was shaping itself as a credible way of infusing multiple skill-set into the every hungry domestic labor pool of the country. Another parallel route that was being encouraged by the authorities was the businessmen and investors classes to invite people with business experience and acceptable financial credentials to enter the country and setup new businesses or park funds in the expansion schemes and programs to create and sustain employment and business venues.

Skilled and business migration became a most followed and most sought after Way for People from Other Countries to Move to Canada in addition to the sundry classes under the family reunion and reunifications.

You can also use the skills or business migration options if you were not fortunate enough to be born as a Canadian or to a Canadian national or rather more precisely not connected to a Canadian national. With the new regulations in place and about to be enacted as a formal law very soon, you will get a much faster response as the targeted time of processing of new applications under the new system is being pitched and propagated as mere 12 months and that means if you happen to file your requests for migration under the new Canada Immigration program after May 2013 you could be under way to obtaining visa for entry by mid of 2014. Incredible isn’t that? You would be assessed more closely in the initial stages that would enable you establish yourselves rapidly in the country.

The Immigration to Canada for People from Other Countries is available in various manifestations right from the federal programs to state run local initiatives in coordination with CIC. All these routes grant permanent residential status to applicants. The other routes like arranged employment can help you obtain temporary residential permits of maple country.

Immigration to Canada From India: An Easy Process

by Jobs And Visas

Canada is the second largest country with the ninth-highest per capita income. The broad range of different nationalities draws influence on the culture of Canada making it a multi-cultured and a diverse country. It is the eleventh largest economy in the world offering high standards of living and quality in lifestyle and education. In the recent times, it has been noticed that a vast majority of skilled individuals are migrating to different nations for higher wages and better opportunities. The Canadian job market is actively seeking for able and skilled professionals in order to develop a powerful workforce.

To fill the growing labor shortage, Canada is attracting more professionals from across the globe by offering them with lucrative career opportunities. To encourage easy flow of people in and out of the country, Canada citizenship and immigration have simplified the programme for the skilled labor by making it more flexible.

 

The revolutionized immigration policy also allows the government to choose candidates from the skill sets that will bridge the gap between the demand and supply of the labor.

People with high skills and expertise or those who are over-qualified can easily immigrate to Canada through skilled worker category. It is for this reason that immigration to Canada from India has been increasing at a tremendous rate as India annually produces a segment of highly qualified professionals who are young and determined but still do not get a job. The lack of employment opportunities and fancied career growth in India pushes more and more people out. Also, the immigration process of Canada is relatively easy as compared to rest of the countries where the policies and procedures are long and stringent.

Immigration services for Canada can be broadly classified into four categories- skilled worker class, entrepreneurs, self employed and investors, sponsoring members of family class and provincial nominees. The added advantage of Canada is that it offers almost all the privileges to its immigrants as it offers to its citizen, promoting equality among different nationalities. A person who becomes a permanent citizen of Canada enjoys the benefit of free public school education and health care facilities at nominal charges. Like other countries, Canada also follows certain guidelines for family sponsorships under which the close or immediate relatives of the family members can easily migrate.

The pool of opportunities, outstanding education system, peaceful political conditions, universal health care faculties and better standard of living make Canada a dream for many young and aspiring candidates. The residents as well as the immigrants in Canada play a major role in improving the economic and social life of this self-governing country. The progressive and democratic society invites newcomers and helps them embark new avenues in life.

The Term of Immigration Law

by John

The term 'Immigration Law' refers to a particular country's policies with regards to immigration of a person to their country. In other words if a person travels from his native country to another country on a passport for employment, studies, business or any other purpose he is governed by that particular country's immigration law which finds its fundamental content and soul of its context from International Immigration law. Although Immigration Law is governed by International Law, but it cannot be denied that a particular country's national law plays a pivotal role in encoding and embracing its Immigration Policies, which primarily deals with a person's legal status as a citizen.

Though with the advent of Global modernization the passage to different countries have become moderate gateway, but with also came complexities with regards national laws of the countries, when it comes to new migrants who wish to live, study, work or gain permanent residency in a certain country. Stringent Immigration Law governs the entire process of moving from one country to another. Even before you can move to a foreign country, you need to work with an immigration lawyer to help ensure that you fulfill all the required formalities. Some firms provides exclusive immigration related counseling to the person who's planning to stay abroad. But even though all the above complexities and socio-economic scenarios, the passage to foreign gateway have become more fascinating and every year more and more people are moving out of their native boundaries to explore new horizons.

Immigration law is not uniform throughout the world, but the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights has decreed that all countries must allow entry to its own citizens. Immigration laws vary from country to country, as well as according to the political climate or tradition of a particular country. Majority of countries adopt neutral stance in regulating its national immigration policies by which immigrants may become citizens like England, U.S.A. however, there are many who maintains strict governance with regards a person's stay in its native land, his entry or his right to participate in its democratic structure.

To maintain a check on immigration countries set up customs at entry points such as airports and roads at the border. At the customs department, travel documents are inspected. Sometimes travelers are also required to declare or register the amount of money they are carrying. There are different penal provisions vis-Ã -vis different countries for any deviations or intentional over jumping the national immigration checks of the native land.
