IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR FEDERAL SKILLED WORKERS PROGRAM
Immigration representatives give immigration advice and help to visa applicants, usually for a fee.

You do not need to hire an immigration representative. It is up to you. Your application will not be given special attention or guaranteed approval if you use a representative.

All the forms and information that you need to apply for a visa are available for free on www.cic.gc.ca as well as on this website. If you follow the instructions in the application guide, you can complete the application forms and submit them on your own.

IF YOU INTEND TO FILE YOUR APPLICATION THROUGH A REPRESENTATIVE THESE USEFUL TIPS WILL HELP

  • Ask for recommendations from people you trust. Talk to several potential advisers before choosing one.

  • Ask about their training and experience:

    • find out if they are an authorized representative

    • ask for references

    • find out how long they have been in business.

  • Discuss what services they will provide and the fee. Get this information in writing.

  • Ask questions. You should be wary of a representative who refuses to answer your questions.

  • Be careful of anything that sounds too good to be true.

  • If you are choosing a representative in Canada, you can also contact the Better Business Bureau before making your choice. They can tell you if any complaints have been raised against immigration representatives that operate in Canada.(CIC.GC.CA)

Government of Canada will welcome more economic immigrants in 2010
Toronto, June 26, 2010 — Canada is adjusting its 2010 immigration plan to put even greater emphasis on economic recovery and further reduce the federal skilled worker backlog, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney told a news conference today.

“When I met with my provincial colleagues last week, they all stressed the importance of economic immigration,” Minister Kenney said. “As we recover from the recession, increasing economic immigration will help ensure employers have the workers they need to supplement our domestic labour supply.”

Each year, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) sets out a plan for the number of immigrants it intends to welcome within economic, family and humanitarian immigration categories. The planned range for 2010 is 240,000 – 265,000 immigrants. CIC generally achieves the midpoint of this range. In 2010, CIC anticipates achieving the upper end of this range, allowing Canada to welcome more immigrants in the economic category than originally planned. This includes federal skilled workers and record-level numbers of provincial nominees, without reducing the number in the family or humanitarian immigration categories.

Minister Kenney noted that some of his provincial colleagues expect the need will grow further in the years ahead. “This is something we will need to take into consideration when we consult more broadly on plans for future years,” he said.

Even with higher numbers of economic immigrants, Canada still receives many more applications than can be processed in a timely way. As a result, the department is limiting the number of new applications it will consider in the federal skilled worker category every year.

“Canada will continue to welcome historically high numbers of immigrants, but we need to manage the number of new applications or risk creating new backlogs and longer processing times,” Minister Kenney said. “We have more than enough applications on hand now to fill many of our needs, and we want to be fair to those people who have been waiting the longest.”

DISCOVER CANADA - Citizenship Guide
The popular new citizenship study guide, Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship is available as an audio download. The announcement was made by Senator Marjory LeBreton at the Canadian War Museum on behalf of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney.“We want newcomers to successfully integrate into Canadian society and become full and equal citizens,” said Senator LeBreton. “This study guide is a necessity for anyone seeking Canadian citizenship and it must be accessible to everyone. Now you can listen to it in your car, on your commute, while you exercise – anywhere you choose.”

Because not all citizenship applicants have the same literacy or learning ability, this audio guide has been produced to assist those who are still strengthening their proficiency in French or English. It is the first step in developing more resources to accompany the guide.

As noted in this year’s Speech from the Throne, our Government will be commemorating the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 two years from now. Events such as this, which helped shape our identity as Canadians and ultimately our existence as a country, are just one of many significant historical events added to the new study guide.

“A shared understanding of our history unites us as Canadians,” Senator LeBreton said. “The citizenship study guide places new emphasis on important historical events like the War of 1812 because a country’s future is built on its history. Newcomers are helping write the next pages of our history.”

The study guide is available as a CD or for download online as an mp3, .mov or .wmv file. Download Here
