Quebec immigration seeks nurses

It is now easier for nurses to qualify for Canadian permanent resident visas under the Quebec Skilled Worker Program. To qualify, single applicants must score 49 points against a points grid. A maximum of 16 points can be awarded for professional training. Under the old system, nursing professionals scored only 12 points. They now receive 16 points. This makes it easier for nurses to qualify, even if they do not speak French, the official language of Quebec.

The Quebec government provides emergency assistance to $ 300,000 for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan

Quebec, November 19, 2013 - The Minister of International Relations, La Francophonie and Foreign Trade (MRIFCE), Jean-François Lisée and Minister of Immigration and Cultural Communities and Minister of the Charter of the French, M me Diane De Courcy, announced measures that Quebec will implement to assist Filipinos affected by Typhoon Haiyan. Funding of $ 300,000 is offered by the Société d'habitation du Québec (SHQ) ($ 200,000) and MRIFCE ($ 100 000). Measures to facilitate immigration applications of those affected by this tragedy will be implemented by the Ministry of Immigration and Cultural Communities (MICC).

Relieve

"On behalf of the Government of Quebec, I would like to express our deepest sympathies to the Filipino people must, with courage and determination to mobilize to overcome this ordeal. We are also all heart with Quebecers who are affected by this tragedy. By this gesture of solidarity, the Quebec government wants to provide support and comfort to the victims of this terrible natural disaster, "said Minister Lisée.

The MRIFCE has an "emergency aid" component in the Quebec International Development Program. This component can withstand some emergency interventions Quebec organizations for international cooperation in the case of natural disasters or humanitarian crises scale in poor countries. The MRIFCE was allowed to make a contribution of $ 100 000 through this program. This assistance will be distributed among the recognized organizations and active in the Philippine territory such as Oxfam-Québec and the Red Cross.

Lisée Minister and Minister De Courcy could directly offer the sympathies of the Quebec government to members of the Filipino community at a meeting with representatives of organizations working with Filipinos in the Montreal area. The ministers were also able to discuss the various issues and needs facing the community due to Typhoon Haiyan.

Welcome

MICC has implemented measures in order to expedite the processing of applications already received by those affected directly and significantly by the typhoon. Thus, it will give priority treatment to immigration applications for skilled workers and applications for family reunification. In addition, Filipino nationals who are currently staying temporarily in Quebec and holding a certificate of acceptance in Quebec will be an extension of it.

"We work closely with Citizenship and Immigration Canada, as we have done in previous natural disasters. Our priority is to accelerate the arrival of the people affected by this disaster, which had planned to settle in Quebec to work or to rejoin their families, "said Minister De Courcy. People personally affected by Typhoon Haiyan can get more information on what is implemented by the Ministry to expedite the processing of applications for viewing www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/philippines-haiyan .

Rebuild

"For the government of Quebec, it is important to help the people affected by this natural disaster, especially since Quebec has developed a unique expertise in this type of intervention, thanks to the strength and vitality of the housing industry and the timber industry. For us, it is quite normal to put this expertise to Filipinos and joining the large international mobilization is organized now, "said the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy Planning, Minister of Transport and Minister responsible for the SHQ, Sylvain Gaudreault.

The sum of $ 200,000 from the SHQ will provide thirty prefabricated buildings used for purposes of hosting or services. These transition homes have been specially designed to meet the needs of displaced as a result of natural disasters or conflicts.

The SHQ is not the first initiative of its kind. In 2010, she was actively involved in the reconstruction of a center for autistic children in L'Aquila, Italy, which had been destroyed during the tragic earthquake that struck the region in April 2009.

Strengthening Citizenship, Speeding Up Processing
Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act continues to protect the integrity of Canada’s immigration system
August 1, 2014 — Ottawa — Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander today announced that recent changes to the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act are already paying big dividends: citizenship backlogs are at their lowest level in more than two years, and applications are now being processed more efficiently than ever.

The government’s overhaul of the Citizenship Act saw the citizenship decision-making process move from three steps to one. This change and others in the Act are designed to improve program integrity and safeguard the value of Canadian citizenship.

The number of decision makers has also increased which will ensure that citizenship applications are processed more quickly and backlogs are reduced.

It is expected that in 2015/16 the processing time for citizenship applications will be less than a year. It is also projected that the current backlog of applications will be reduced by more than 80 percent.

Changes to Citizenship Act now in effect:

In addition to the new streamlined decision making model, the government has today implemented a range of legislative amendments to further strengthen Canada’s citizenship program. These amendments relate to authorities to refuse incomplete applications and a uniform system for judicial review of citizenship decisions are also now in effect.

These changes were part of Bill C-24, the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act, which received Royal Assent on June 19, 2014. These improvements are in addition to funding in Economic Action Plan 2013 of an additional $44 million over two years to the citizenship program to ensure the timely processing of applications.

Quick facts

Canada has the highest rate of naturalization in the world—85 per cent of eligible permanent residents become citizens.
Since 2006, Canada has welcomed over 1,300,000 proud new Canadians.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada received 333,860 citizenship applications in 2013, the highest volume ever and a strong reminder of the value of being a Canadian citizen.
Quote

“Canadian citizenship is highly valued around the world and our government is committed to ensuring that deserving applicants can be welcomed into the Canadian family more quickly. This is good for Canada’s economy, and good for Canadian society.”
