A detailed introduction of Canadian immigration policy in 2022
In 2022, Canada's immigration policy was introduced in detail. Adjustment 1: Canada's EE and provincial nomination quotas were greatly increased.
According to the data of the Canadian Federal Immigration Service, Canada is expected to receive 330,000 immigrants in 2022, and the overall immigration quota will increase by 7%! Almost all the quotas are paid to the category of economic immigrants, and most new immigrants will be approved to become permanent residents, because high-tech immigrants can not only fill the existing vacancies in Canada, but also help create more job opportunities.
Adjustment 2: Expand the preferential policies for China applicants.
1. Allow visa applicants over 60 years old in China to obtain visas as soon as possible;
2. Allow China applicants to pay visa application fees through UnionPay;
3. China students can get a study visa in less than 8 months.
Adjustment 3: Reduce English level.
Previously, Canada's immigration policy was that applicants must meet the requirements in English or French to apply for naturalization, and only IELTS scores were recognized. But now Canada allows permanent residents aged 18 to 54 to have more ways to prove that their language ability meets the requirements.
Adjustment 4: Parents reunion visa holders can apply for extension of residence.
Extraordinary visa is actually a form between ordinary visa for visiting relatives and parents' reunion immigration, and it is also a temporary way for children to leave their parents with them. And now that the super visa policy has changed, cardholders can apply for an extension. As long as they submit an application for extension 30 days before the visa expires, they can legally continue to stay even before the visa expires.
Adjustment 5: The threshold for naturalization is low.
In terms of naturalization, Canada has abolished the requirement of living in Canada for four years and 65,438+083 days per year in the past six years, greatly reducing the time requirement for living in Canada. As long as you live in Canada for three years, you can be naturalized. Even if you move outside Canada after naturalization, you will not have the freedom to move because your nationality is cancelled.

Most Canadian universities require IELTS scores to reach a total score of 6.5 and a small score of not less than 6.0. Of course, different majors have different requirements for IELTS, especially those in business, language and engineering.
For example, the University of Waterloo requires 7 points, and some schools require 7 points for business and engineering, depending on the requirements for students to apply for schools.

Yes, many parents choose to send their children to Canada to attend high school in order to make their children enter Canada more smoothly.

Canadian universities only accept transfer between domestic universities, unless there is an agreement between universities, it is very difficult. Some students have finished their freshman or sophomore years in domestic universities, but they still applied for universities in Canada when they were freshmen.
8. Can I work while studying in Canada?
International students are only allowed to work on campus while studying in Canada. For example, if you are a library assistant or a handyman on campus, you can engage in internship related to your major after graduation. The requirements for obtaining an employment permit are:

B) The work is related to the approved research or training project;

What should I pay attention to when studying in Canada? 1. Visa time
Note that if your student visa has expired for 90 days, you can only go back to China to renew it. Many students and parents are very concerned about the expiration and renewal of visas. Generally speaking, the reason for this problem is that students forget the expiration time of their visas. Not renewed within the specified time, so there is no legal status to stay in Canada.
If the renewal is within 90 days, students can still go through the relevant formalities in Canada. If you consider it for more than 90 days, you'd better go back to China as soon as possible and reapply. Don't take any chances, thinking that you won't be found. If it is found out, the consequences will be very serious. The longer the illegal residence, the more difficult it will be to apply for a new visa.
Second, maintain the consistency of visas.
Many foreign students who have just arrived in Canada have signed up for short courses. At this time, you don't have a long-term admission letter, and all study permits are valid for a short time. Some students even have only visiting visas. But your short-term visa time is up, and you haven't applied for a new one, so you can't stay in Canada during this period. So pay more attention to when your license is valid, and make sure whether your license is public or has a designated school.
Third, work is not allowed.
When studying abroad, many international students will use their spare time to do part-time jobs, accumulate some experience and earn some living expenses. But there are also legal and illegal differences between working. In Canada, it is stipulated that full-time students can legally work on or off campus. If you used to be a full-time student and later became a part-time student, you can't work. Part-time students who want to work must apply for a work visa at the immigration office before they can continue to work. At the same time, the Immigration Bureau has the right to check the registration of students. Once it is found that some part-time students go to work without applying, they will be repatriated. Therefore, students studying in Canada must work legally.
Fourth, don't violate school discipline.
The main purpose of studying abroad is to go to school, so it is very important to get good grades. Students are advised not to do anything against discipline at school. Once you violate the discipline, the school administrator will deal with you according to the seriousness of what you have done. If the consequences are serious, you will be expelled and repatriated, so you can't continue studying in Canada.
Generally speaking, cheating is the most important and common reason for violating school discipline. In fact, it is equivalent to being dishonest in learning. Whether you intentionally or unintentionally, as long as you cheat, the school will severely punish you.
