Canada: 2012 career and corporate forecast envisages a debility

January 4, 2012: For the year 2012 many of economists have predicted a low work advance and commerce speculation but some also hopes steady ness in this regards and strongly endorse obligatory mixtures.

By way of the present corporate picture, if one doubts in Canada about unemployment ratio this year 2012, which has already looked like an odd prospect for the juvenile months in the most feared year in the history of humans, so are the thoughts of Canadians as they show a negative approach towards the New Year job and business progression. Some even predict humorously a storm is coming in the winter paradise, some say this would be Canadian spring in summer season or Jihad while the only reason behind the current analysis which already predicts a decline in career opportunities coupled with insufficient corporate settings.

Besides that yet the first few days of New Year 2012 were a little clean in opportunity and commercial line. However the skeptic approach is in much favor of the latest analysis from economists under the hood which proposed a minimal continuous decline in employment ration. More specifically about twelve thousand to twenty thousand a month would be added to the current 7.4 percent odd ratio. This goes for the staff belonging to tall companies as a general survey of thoughts of several workers in Bank Montreal has given an uneven upshot regarding Profession development in the ongoing year.

Not just that BMO had made a poll previous year and got the odd figure of nearly seventeen parts out the total claiming poor career opportunities for this year which is a sheer decline as compared to the previous big humble of over twenty nine per hundred ratio. Consequently this trend has clichéd a number of firms which had previously a good reputation for providing internees a chance to get train and educate for the fast developing corporate sector of Canada concerning, also the investments in innovative technology and gears.

Odd views are coming as vice president of commercial banking at BMO states that this could food the very uncertainty in the Canadians which is parallel to many of current global stress concerning movements like occupy Wall Street. But yet a number of natives are guessing for a constructive modification in the occupation zone and businesses providing positive opportunities. This was observed in an online survey of over fifteen hundred Canadians with miner complexities under three percent. Although the negative response recorded in September last year was not exposed but the results have some good prospects for the newcomers as they showed nearly over eighty percent corporate proprietors eager to capitalize more and about Thirty nine out of a hundred claimed of making more job opportunities.

But the overall survey has shown rather poor scenario in the previous year's last month's relating to profession development. This was reasoned by Mark Shoniker who is the director of commercial banking at BMO and is very painful to see the odds are in relation to the confidence of consumer. Though the previous year start for Canada was a great notion but it failed in the mid of previous year concerning labor market and resulted in shedding over seventy thousand jobs last three months of 2011. Some facts are yet to come for the last month of 2011.

This also concerns about the native and their earrings which were rather slow as compared to early time in 2011 and resulted in sheer drop under three percent owing to another digit to the current inflation. The main reason is that, according to Derek Holt an economist of Scotia Bank, jobs are full and the companies are now seeking to grow more in the upcoming global corporate struggle rather hiring. The result is there; over six hundred thousand jobs are now closed in Canada but for U.S. they are rather very cautious in this manner.

This will add another two percent in the already massive over one million unemployed figure of Canada this year. This is very drastic and will put a lot of firms to move very cautiously. This also corresponds to the very facts regarding the overall financial figures.

We yet have to wait for the imminent two days, as for Friday's engagement boom and Mondays' inspection of Bank of Canada. That should reveal the actual statistics. As for the views of some positive minds they still think that employment has to increase and reduce or keep it steady at the current 7.4 percent and boom in labor market should be favored. A prejudicial consensus on the coming days is still out of balance as if the odds are not even then the suffering would be tougher for the new comers and natives too regardless of whatever the global economy shapes.

Canada's Immigrant Investor Program Under Scanner

December 27, 2011: Investor Immigrants in the province of Manitoba an Issue of Concern for Canadian Authorities

Canada for long has been known to be one of the most immigrant friendly nations in the world. Recently however, the Canadian authorities have been voicing concerns about immigrants investing in various businesses and services in the province of Manitoba. While there have been no actual incidences of reported wrong doing, Manitoba Auditor-General Carol Bellringer has expressed dissatisfaction at measures taken by the government to protect the immigrants against agencies aiming to exploit their wealth and investments in a wrongful manner.

Official's Proclamation
“It was an area we thought there was a high risk that there could be problems,” said Bellringer in an interview. “We wanted to find out how that whole investment part worked, and if there was any potential for [immigrants] to be taken advantage of.” The audits in Atlantic Provinces coming up with revealing information about alleged frauds and lawsuits, Bellringer tabled a proposal to launch similar audits in Manitoba. According to the office of the Auditor General, there have to be investigations pertaining to financial and human resource management. The high risk areas have yet to be identified and probed with sufficient ferocity.

Manitoba, over time has emerged as a favourite among immigrant investors. Peter Bjornson, Minister of Entrepreneurship, training and trade said,

We've got a waiting list of people who want to come and invest in Manitoba

There however, is an upper cap on the number of foreign nationals the province can invite to influence its economy and trade. Bjornson opined that the upper limit needs to be raised to allow Manitoba to attract more immigrants. He added that the province had a well structured plan in place to inspire this move.

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, however clearly indicated that any such order is not coming to pass in near future. He said,
We are not going to continue with the rate of growth in the program over the past few years until we are able to sit down with the provinces and make sure our concerns are addressed.

Where does the program stand?
In the light of these developments, the Canada investor immigration program is under careful consideration. One of the issues seem to be the fact that immigrant investors start wherever their business finds a soft turf to begin with and then gradually move to Vancouver and other glamorous provinces to sink their into the bigger, tastier pie. The “home province” so to speak is left out in the cold, ready to host newer businesses which would eventually move to another province without contribute anything to the host's economy so to speak.

Super Visas, being a costly affair is for Rich ones only


January 2, 2012: Super Visas is not turning as much favorable as it was expected to be, rather it is more of costly affair and disappointing immigrants who are looking forward to sponsor their parents and grandparents.

Super Visa launched during the previous month, by the Immigration authorities of the country, was much hyped and was thought as the easy way for the immigrants to reunite with their parents and grandparents back in their country.

Super Visas:

As per this new scheme by the immigration authorities, the super visas were supposed to bring together parents and grandparents of the new immigrants settling in Canada. These visas not only encourage the families to get together but also allow them to stay with their family members for the coming two years. The announcement of this visa scheme was soon followed by the optimistic response all over.

Costly Affair:

The coming of super visas was much appreciated by the new immigrants for whom it paved a way to get more close to their dependent parents and their grandparents. But the implementation was not as easy as of thought off.

In reality supervise turned up as a costly affair and could be afforded by only those who can pay for it. Soon the prime requirement of health insurance was brought forward. Being a high cost adding factor is hampering immigrants to sponsor their elders to the country.
The sponsored parent should carry a health insurance policy of around $ 3,300 or as per according to their age and requirements with them ensuring the country will not be bearing for their health issues. But such high cost for bringing in the elders is not an affordable for a common immigrant who earns enough to feed his family and maintain a middle class status.

Problem in Getting Super Visas:

Many of the immigrant's are facing problems such as excessive documentation like birth certificates and other information required by the department that too at very short notice.
Recently the immigrants sponsoring their relatives were asked to submit all the details of the coming relatives consisting of personal information and complete other requirements within the time limit of 90 days. They are also asking for the things which are not required at initial stage therefore increasing troublesome situations for the sponsors as well as the sponsored people.
Adding more to it, in case applicant failed to submit the requirements on time, the department of its will assume that the applicant have changed their mind and will subsequently cancel the filled application by them.

The ones who are rich are finding it an easy option but those who are not may still have to wait for other ways to meet their elders.

Alberta an energy rich and wealthy destination in Canada.

January 2, 2012: With a first Muslim female mayor and an oil rich resource Alberta is the next ideal destination for the skilled immigrants who seek fortune in Canada.

One of the three grassland regions of Canada is highly populated since last decade and has crossed over three million streaks. The main reason why this region is now an apple of eye for the settlers is the natural resource of oil in these regions. Alberta one of the three Canadian prairies is full of the natural resource the oil and has now the most favorite spot for the foreigners to start a great settlement for life.

As the Chief Alison Redford has claimed that the gift of oil has made a number of attractions in recent decades from mainly China, Venezuela and Philippines mostly by major brand holders like Exxon Mobil Corp and Statoil ASA. This has made feasible to create the best natural energy assets exterior to Arab Lands.
So is the result of this fondness of oil as the mass of colonists has made stride in contemporary years owing to oil firm for they are willing to hire over ten thousand skilled worker in next eight years. This has already traversed in the proportion of satisfying up and around about several other regions of Canada.

Redford who has crossed his forty years of life and still he has been very confident in this regard and has firm belief that even though some of the thinkers had made narrow minded deleterious statements regarding the importance of this region. But as the current scenarios are claiming their own feasibility for the future, which is a complete change in the ideology of the political system bundled with bold innovation one can only imagine. So speaking in a manner of ability they are going to shape future for the world it has yet to comprehend.

A Chinese family migrated here in 2009 name and showed their consent to finding job and that it was very easy for them to get settle and make living. They have good relations with locals and local admire their hard work also. The result is satisfying, for recent years Alberta has made a huge mark up in for economic growth of Canada at a value of over sixty nine thousand U.S. dollars and seventy five parts taller than Quebec's and has won amid several other provincial entrants.

The nascent depiction of Alberta will be traded by the fresh Energy Sector and thus is a great attraction for the rest of world to start the glooming opportunity and condense their enforced count on Arab oil. So novices for businesses are welcome. Discernible subgroups structure around a barrio of the residents of Calgary has been categorized as the fifth most habitable abode in the world by Economist magazine.

Not just that Naheed Nenshi has appeared in the Calgary the largest city if Alberta as the first Muslim female mayor, this shows the liberal views of the state and that it has changed its image by the positive investments and skilled immigrants in recent years. Naheed is a Tanzanian immigrant by parentages and has shown great devotion in case of subgroups and colonists. Her own views for this intention was nourishing as she avowed this abode as exclusive in its assortment of mayor from lesser which is even a sectional if one disquiet the creed.

Some of the colonists have found Alberta appealing and full of opportunity is because it is still young and has plenty of places to work and research for future. Alberta gets its name after Queen Victoria fourth offspring and it became a jurisdiction at a population of nearly the thousand persons in 1905. So it is clear that there is a lot of spaces present for new comers and that of the oil it has a great future and rich prospects. As history has shown that original European pilgrims who came took place of intrinsic communities worked in collectively for making living via crops and had to tolerate the stiff cold of below forty in their times. But their motives and courage was even tougher than the harsh environment thus they prevail steadily and made this land another place of opportunity for tomorrow.

Alberta is also very appealing for Bankers as in past most of the businessmen were really begging for their financial matters but as for the present the Global investment banks counting Rothschild, Societe Generale SA and Credit Suisse Group AG have opened their branches in the city which has aided the region in this matter positively.

Alberta will not be just a simple village anymore yet the main customs and culture is still giving a primitive look but that only recompense a fifteen per hundred of the county budget productivity. The reason is the juvenile oil and gas presence in the region which has added up extra for the major portion of gross output annually. Agreeing to official statistics it produces around a third of administration profits and hires one out of six hands. Other reason is also the climbing price of oil which is 100$ per barrel. Craig Alexander, chief economist has been very optimistic with this province and even said that it has a lot of gamble imminent.

British Columbia Lays Groundwork to Attract Immigrants

December 27, 2011: Dramatic reverse of UK' outlook, British Columbia sorts ways to boost the influx of skilled immigrants.

Premier Christy Clark has called for the setting up of a task force to study how skilled immigrants and investors can be attracted to the province of British Columbia, Canada.

This is a province and a country that was built on immigration and that hasn't changed, Clark said.

A nine member group shall be constituted to analyse all of the province's programs related to immigrants and suggest any possible improvement or enhancements in order to simplify the procedure of immigration for skilled workers from around the world.

The Task Force
It is expected that eminent community and business leaders shall be roped in to form the task force. The Provincial Nominee Program, Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, and the Federal Immigrant Investor Program are the various schemes to be scanned by the group that has proposed to submit a report by the end of March next year. John Yap, elected head of the task force has voiced a resolve to make the immigration procedure to British Columbia a smooth ride for skilled workers and interested investors. The team is likely to meet employers, industry associations, community members and other groups of importance to get a rounded picture and then work upon it in an appropriate fashion.

Premier Speaks

"We've laid out an ambitious plan to create jobs in the B.C. Jobs Plan and we will need skilled immigrants to help fill more than one million job openings expected over the next decade," Clark said. "We don't know yet, how we're going to fill those jobs."

Much like what the province of Manitoba has been asking for, even BC has asked for a removal of the cap on immigration influx. It is interesting to note that the provincial nominee program was launched to help integrate skilled and educated professional immigrants into the Canadian population. It is important to do away with the upper limit on immigration of skilled workers under PNP as it does little to further the cause.

A Welcome Christmas Gift for the Immigrants:
Potential immigrants are excited because Canada has for long established and done justice to its claims of being one of the most immigrant friendly nations in the world. There is little left to be desired in the country's programs for immigrants save for some small knots which the task force shall smooth out.

Canada: Tangible delinquency amid several Asian émigrés.

January 11, 2012: "Canadian immigration department located several distorted permits reaching 22 percent for Chinese migrants."

In 2008 The Canadian immigration department passed a stiff rule to keep their immigration plane working with motion and accredit in accordance to the basic need of that time. The result was an alarming number of fraudulent entries from the Asian economic giant China.

The main hurdle which was faced for these applications was a lack of steadiness which was then confirmed by conventional administration of Canada under the findings of settlement attorney Richard Kurland.

The official verdict was based on counterfeit nature of several Chinese applications which were presented under arranged employment offer (AEO) package.

The previous government of Diane Finley had passed a bill called C-50 which was mostly related to satisfying applicants with quality skill and only highlighting for the growth of monetary sector of Canada.

The fact were troubling as there were several paper works showing fabricated educational details and much hyped professional experience. The authorities further admit their ill information relation to such false entries.

Candice Malcolm, orator for Colonization Preacher Jason Kenney stated that currently the admins were reviewing the status of many applicants and were trying to check for transparency as per required by mandatory perspectives of the bill and enhanced law.

The main faults were relating to a third portion of permanent resident mainly Chinese immigrants in the province of British Columbia of Canada. In British Columbia over nine thousand out of total thirty thousand stable Chinese émigrés were settled in 2010. Out of which over seventeen thousand Chinese students who were attracted to Canada over six thousand went to British Columbia.

The papers also shows that several application were unable to process because of the limit of accommodation. Mainly immigrants from three Asian countries were responsible for providing false information and the possible reason was lack of a proper institute which can provide facts.

An analysis of skilled immigrants from China in 2008-2010 showed many of the stable settlers had poor English conversation skills. The percentage was about twenty two parts of hundreds.

Much discontent was from the abuse applications for the categories of accountants and auditors. The percentage rages from forty two percent in total. Same fate was for a great number of fraudulent applications for the categories financial managers which surpassed the twenty seven percent marks out of total.

A general report concerning the requests of workers mainly heading Ontario stated a tangible delinquency amid several immigrants for worker visa. It further pressed a need for a stiff process for achieving much acquired transparency. This goes for the recent approval of only six out of total sixteen percent applications of thirty one applicants from Taiwan under AOE package in 2010 heading to British Columbia.

Canada is seeking numbers of able but idle work force of Europe

January 12, 2012: "Canada should not neglect the able but unemployed work force of Europe seeking living both in their homeland and foreign. "

Spain has been the first country last year facing the bitter economic upset so is the rate of joblessness in that country, while the same is the case for many European countries. A number of idle but able workforces are looking for a place to start their life again while a heap of opportunity is present in Canada.

Recent analysis done by international journalist Mathew Fisher has shown a large percentage of very able but jobless persons are lingering in the Eurozone. The reason is the economic crisis which has hampered the economy last year and is still poignant this year.

Fisher stresses that Canada should have taken lead while the economic upset in Europe, lodging of their more able work force as soon as possible. For example Spain is the worst case last year by their redundancy ratio above twenty two percent. Greece in this case leads Spain by their low but significant sixteen percent unemployment ratio.

If one considers only the countries in trouble neglecting the still prospering four nations like Germany, Austria, Holland and Finland. Then he would be amazed to see that the unemployment ratio in the Euro zone excluding above mentioned four is double than that of Canada’s recent year’s statistics of an above seven in ratios parts out of hundred.

This is even bitter for the youth under the age of twenty five for Europe, as Spain is the major country in this upset having a tall ratio of over forty nine percent and then Greece followed it by over forty six percent. This is only fifteen percent for Canada.

In view of the above alarming statistics, Canada’s Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has formulized a plane to accommodate over two-fifty thousand for the idle and able Europeans. He has stated that this motive is in national interest of the state and will serve better for the deprived and unemployed workforce of EU.

The main interest under this scheme will attract majority those persons who are good in English and French language, having good computer skills and also those able in production with solid perfunctory and methodical experience.

Fisher reported that he has been to length and breathed of Europe and has crossed several leading states of Euro Zone by train or by any other conveyance. What he found was too many complain from Europeans despite of their high education and skilled experience still deprived of modest living.

He found suitable evidence that people who had left Europe in search of good place to again start living; Canada was the ideal place of migration among several deprived natives on the EU.

By the change in the policies back in 1960 Canada became a welcoming spot for global incomers from several states and Europe too. This was the major case in pervious years when a large number of European among the leading Asians immigrants travels to Canada. The same was a rarity in the past decades.

But before 1960 the major flux of immigrants was from the European countries obviously. This consequently is the main reason why Europeans holds ninety percent of immigrant ratio in Canada than any other nations.

Presently a slight upsurge in case of EU émigrés has been reported but that is yet too being fixed as a significant measure. In the same way Fisher has praised that Canada has done a noble deed in giving opportunity for Europeans to come in their state, as will be good for tit because of the high skilled nature of Europeans in competition with the Asian much skilled and too able work force.

Applying for a Work Permit outside Canada

January 14, 2012: In the 'old days, perhaps the in last ten years, representing clients seeking to enter Canada under the category of skilled workers was a pleasure, feel most immigration consultants

The program is the backbone of the contribution to build the country's Immigration Department. Applications in this category are enthusiastically received and processed within one year.

The lawyers representing those customers valued their ratings according to a table to identify and target points according to these regulations.

When requests are filled and points are 'sealed' then the applicant is then protected from any change in the selection criteria that occurred after the application was full. The success was easy to predict.

It now appears that the officers care more about building the country. In addition, applications are taken on average five to six years for processing. In 20% of cases, this process takes much longer.

This application package includes:
•an instruction guide, and
•All required forms.

The instruction guide is a tool that:
•provides the information you need to know before sending your application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada ( CIC ), and
•Will help you complete the forms and the required supporting documents.

Read the instruction guide thoroughly before completing each form.

The forms contain questions that will assist in processing your request.

Now, when requests are made, forms, reference letters, bank statements, etc. are retained for five years before an immigration officer for the first time you see them. When they do, the first thing they ask is to be updated both the application and accompanying documents. Presently from 1st April 2011, you can work in Canada for a maximum of four years. So you have to start calculating your period of work from 1st April 2011.

The Immigration Department recently announced simplification of the application process "for many applications.

Eligible applicants submit their applications in just a simple three-page form and appropriate payment. The necessary documents will be included not far from the beginning. This will ensure a place in the list of processes.

When the application is ready to be considered, the visa office will ask the necessary documents. This will prevent both the applicant and the immigration officer to do double work, but that does not mean your application is processed faster.

For those who think to seek legal help until their turn at the immigration office, I think it's a bad idea. The department warns that "you must meet all the requirements when completing your application." It would be a tragedy waiting five years on the list only to discover that when you apply, you somehow missed something.

Changes to Temporary Foreign Worker Program

Changes to Temporary Foreign Worker Program are effective from 1st April 2011. These amendments are intended to help us better protect your rights when you come to work in Canada by ensuring that employers comply with the requirements of their job.

When applying for work permits, employers will be evaluated on:

Strict criteria to confirm the seriousness of the job (Truthfulness);

History of compliance with the commitments outlined in the offer of employment to foreign workers hired in the last two years (essentially the same);

Compliance is required with the laws of federal, provincial and territorial governments.

In cases where employers fail to meet their commitments with foreign workers, they may be ineligible for recruitment of foreign labor for a period of two years.

You can apply for a work permit as soon as you receive written evidence of the job offer or contract and the notice of the labor market (AMT) of HRSDC. In cases where the AMT is not required, you can apply when you have written evidence of the job offer from your employer.

To work in Canada, you may need a temporary resident visa.

A temporary resident visa is an official document issued by an agent that is placed in your passport. It serves to confirm that you have fulfilled the general requirements for admission to Canada as a temporary resident.

It is also to be remembered that the family members include spouses, common-law spouse, dependent children and dependent child of a dependent child.

Dependent children accompanying you can study in Canada. Their applications for study permits must be submitted at the same time as yours. If they are to arrive after you, they must obtain a study permit before coming to Canada.

When you get to the point of entry into Canada, an officer will make a final determination. Note that you must select the Canadian visa office in your country of residence in your country of nationality or the country where you are legally established for at least a year.
