Detailed explanation of the policy items and conditions of how to immigrate to Canada in 2022

1, Express Entry Fast Track is the main immigration route in Canada, and three types of immigration methods are mainly realized through this route: Canadian experience CEC, federal skilled migration and federal skilled migration. In addition, some provinces can also take the EE channel to nominate immigration projects. EE adopts grading system, with high scores in general language, at least one year of skilled work experience, college degree, and age between 20 and 29, and can get more scores. There are other factors that can improve the score, such as French proficiency, having Canadian brothers and sisters or effective Canadian job opportunities.

Not everyone who submits fast entry documents can apply for immigration. Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invites candidates who have scored on the fast track to apply through a biweekly lottery. 202 1, Canada only invites candidates who have Canadian experience qualifications or have been nominated by PNP at the provincial level before.

Although the processing standard of ExpressEntry application is 6 months, the average processing time in 2020 is 9 months. The epidemic has slowed down the processing speed of IRCC. According to the latest data, the backlog of immigration applications for all IRCC projects is about 65,438+800,000. ExpressEntry alone has about 140000 applications.

2.PNP provincial nomination plan

Except Nunavut and Quebec, every province and region has PNP projects. PNP projects generally include two categories, namely, PNP that can take EE and independent PNP immigration policy. If nominated at the provincial level, the fast track score will be automatically increased by 600 points, allowing you to immigrate to Canada quickly through EE.

On the other hand, the basic PNP immigration policy is more inclined to recruit candidates who support the regional economic and population growth strategy, and is open to people who are connected with the province, such as those who have studied or worked in Canada, and those whose professional experience belongs to the skill level of the National Occupational Classification (NOC).

3. Quebec immigrants

Quebec, which is dominated by French, has its own immigration plan. Although the federal government still has the final decision on who gets permanent residency, it cannot formulate a comprehensive immigration policy applicable to Quebec.

To immigrate to Quebec, you need to obtain a Quebec Choice Certificate (CSQ), which can be obtained by applying for a Quebec immigration plan, such as:

1) Quebec Regular Skilled Workers Program, for French-speaking foreign workers engaged in technical occupations;

2)PEQ Quebec; ;

3) The pilot project of permanent migration of food processing workers, service workers and skilled workers in certain occupations in Quebec.

4. Family reunion immigrants

If you have family members in Canada, you may be eligible to apply for a family guarantee. Canadians can support their spouses and cohabiting partners, their dependent children or adult relatives, and their parents and grandparents. In some cases, Canadian citizens may be eligible to sponsor other family members.

Both sides of the sponsorship process have eligibility criteria. Canadians may need to prove that they can support you both financially. The insured must pass the criminal and medical access standards. You all have to prove that your relationship is true. For example, in the case of a spouse, the immigration officer must be sure that you are not married for immigration.

It can be seen that there are still many ways to choose to immigrate to Canada, and applicants can choose their own immigration methods according to their actual situation.

2. Detailed explanation of how skilled immigrants immigrate to Canada.

Second, the federal technology trade project (FSTP) Canada federal skilled immigrants

Starting from 20 13, the Federal Skilled Worker Migration (FSTP) provides an immigration channel for global talents with technical trade background. FSTP is one of the three countries that plan to manage skilled workers under Canada's rapid entry system. According to its immigration level plan, Canada's goal is to welcome more than 400,000 new immigrants every year, and an average of 1 10000 immigrant places will be allocated to ExpressEntry year.

FSTP is part of the major efforts made by the federal and provincial governments of Canada to welcome more skilled workers to Canada to solve the labor shortage in the trade industry. Canada has an aging population and a low birth rate, which is why it relies more on immigrants to support its labor force and economic growth, and the technology industry is a very needed field. To qualify for FSTP, the following requirements must be met:

1, employer

Hold valid job opportunities of continuous, paid and full-time work (at least 30 hours per week) provided by at most two employers in Canada for at least one year, or qualification certificates of provincial or regional institutions;

2. Language ability

Provide the basic language proficiency certificate of the designated language testing institution, which proves that the applicant has reached the minimum threshold set by IRCC, oral and listening of CLB)5, and reading and writing of CLB4;

3. Work experience

Two years of full-time working experience (or the same number of part-time jobs) in the technical industry in the five years before the application; and

The ability to demonstrate skills and experience, and they have fulfilled the basic duties of their profession.

Third, Canada Experience Class Canada Experience Immigrants

Since 2008, Canadian Experience Immigration (CEC) has provided the main channel for candidates who work in Canada and want to transition to permanent residency. CEC is an important choice for temporary foreign workers and international graduates who continue to gain work experience in Canada.

The Canadian Employment Center is part of the joint efforts of the Canadian federal and provincial governments, aiming at encouraging more temporary foreign workers and international students to build their own future in Canada. Skilled worker candidates who have lived in Canada before have great advantages in integrating into the Canadian job market. Having a high standard of human capital (for example, young people with high education level, work experience and education level) and establishing social and professional networks in Canada make CEC immigrants very successful in the labor market. To qualify for CEC, the following requirements must be met:

1, working experience

At least one year of technical, professional or technical work experience in Canada within 36 months from the date of application;

2. Language ability

Meet or exceed Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB)5 for NOCB work or CLB 7； for NOC skill level 0 or A work;

Step 3 settle down

Plan to live and work outside Quebec (individuals who have work experience in Quebec and plan to live in Quebec can apply for Quebec CEC).

Applicants can stay in Canada throughout the application process. However, the Canadian experience class is also open to individuals who are no longer in Canada, provided that they submit their applications within three years after leaving Canada to work.

It can be seen that skilled immigrants in Canada have relatively high requirements for applicants, especially in terms of language ability. However, skilled immigrants need less money and less time to obtain permanent residence status in Canada.
