(CPSNS).    How can a foreign doctor get licensed in Canada? Medical graduates who meet the set criteria receive the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC), a medical qualification.

expression of interest system notices

MPNP announced expression of interest system notices

Manitoba /

MPNP announced expression of interest system notices: On December 2, 2022, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) published Expression of Interest system notices. Every year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) allocates a quota of nominations to the MPNP.  The MPNP uses these nominations to issue Letters of Advice to Apply (LAA) through Expression of Interest draws.    However, the MPNP can only approve as many applications for a specific year as nominations are available. For example, in 2022, the MPNP can approve 6,367 applications. As of now, the Federal Government has yet to announce a quota of nominations for 2023.   Expression of Interest system notices All applicants for the Skilled Workers Stream are required to create an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provide a certain number of nominations to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) each year (IRCC). To use the complete allocation of nominations through the EOI draws, the MPNP invites an equal number of applications to be filed. In a given year, the MPNP can only accept as many applications as there are accessible nominations. The MPNP can accept 6,367 applicants for 2022. For 2023, the distribution of nominations has not yet been published. In accordance with the highest ranking points at the time of a specific EOI draw and priority per stream, the MPNP sends Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs). The annual nomination limit is exceeded by the number of profiles in Manitoba’s EOI pool. Because of this, not every person who creates an EOI profile will be selected to get an LAA to the MPNP. By completing or upgrading their language test results, gaining more work experience, or finishing additional education, applicants can increase their scores. Individuals who want to move to Manitoba may also be qualified to do so through a federal immigration program.

Canada G7’s most-educated country

Study in Canada /

Highly skilled immigrants made Canada G7’s most-educated country. Boasting a higher ratio than any of its G7 counterparts, Canada holds the top spot among countries with the most significant number of university graduates. The G7 nations – France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States all pale in comparison to Canada’s remarkable educational success rate.    Canada stood above all other G7 countries, with 57.5% of its population aged 25 to 64 possessing college or university credentials. In comparison, the United States had 50.3%, the United Kingdom maintained 50.1%, France 40.7%, Italy 20.0%, Germany 31.1%, and Japan 55.6%.   G7’s most-educated country Statistics Canada reports that Canada has the highest percentage of citizens with college or university degrees of any G7 nation. With the influx of highly educated immigrants and the high rate of young adults completing degrees, the population of highly educated locals is growing. The significance of a highly educated workforce for Canada’s continuing economic growth was also highlighted in the study from Statistics Canada. As more people approach retirement age, it is crucial to make use of these qualifications, according to the report.   In addition, Canada is experiencing a labor shortage due to strong employment, historically low unemployment, and record-high open positions. To ensure that Canada has enough skilled workers to cover the vacancies left by retirements, it is essential to take advantage of our highly educated population, the report stated.   Education level of immigrants in Canada It is more likely for someone with a bachelor’s degree or higher education to land their first job in Canada earlier. The main factor contributing to the high level of education of immigrants in Canada is the country’s unique points assessment system, which chooses candidates based on their education and other qualifications. Higher education offers you more points, especially in the Express Entry system. High school graduates receive 28 CRS points, while those with a bachelor’s degree receive 112, those with a master’s degree receive 126 points, and those with a Ph.D. receive a maximum of 140 points. More points are awarded to those who complete their higher education in Canada. Additionally, they receive a few additional points if they gain Canadian job experience while holding a postgraduate work permit. The number of Canadians of working age who had at least a bachelor’s degree increased by 19.1% over the five years leading up to 2021. Immigrants are to thank for over half of this growth.   Why is Canada in the top G7 country? The population of Canada has a higher percentage of people who have completed college or a university degree than that of any other G7 country, according to Statistics Canada. As more immigrants enter the country, there are more people with undergraduate degrees or other higher degrees. In Canada, even more, young individuals are also receiving their degrees. At least, one in three Canadians has at least a bachelor’s degree. The release of the report took place on November 30, 2022. According to Statistics Canada, a skilled labor force is necessary for long-term economic growth. Leveraging a highly educated and skilled workforce is now necessary since a growing amount of Canadian individuals are reaching retirement age. Immigrants’ entry into the labor market will aid in addressing Canada’s labor shortage.   To find out more details about “Highly skilled immigrants made Canada G7’s most-educated country” you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@immigrationmatters.info   Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.

Newfoundland and Labrador to recruit nurses from India

Uncategorized /

Newfoundland and Labrador to recruit nurses from India On November 3, 2022, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador announced that the province will recruit internationally-educated registered nurses from India to fill vacancies.  In the next few weeks, a preliminary group of Provincial Government officials will head to southwestern India to establish a recruitment desk in Bengaluru, located in Karnataka.  Once there, they will be assisted by a representative from the College of Registered Nurses to oversee licensure. The team will also work to increase awareness of Newfoundland and Labrador as appealing immigration destinations for nurses and nursing students through presentations and meetings. The provincial government is leading a mission to India to find globally trained registered nurses who can fill openings in Newfoundland and Labrador, according to Dr. Andrew Furey, the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador. The mission is an addition to other existing national and international efforts to attract medical personnel. The Honourable Tom Osborne, Minister of Health and Community Services, the Honourable Gerry Byrne, Minister of Immigration, Population Growth, and Skills, Lynn Power, Executive Director of the College of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador, and representatives from two regional health authorities were present for the announcement. In the upcoming weeks, a team of provincial government representatives will go to southwest India with the intention of establishing a recruitment desk in Bengaluru, which is situated in the state of Karnataka. A member of the College of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador will join them and be responsible for regulating licensure. Because many nurses in the area undergo training that is comparable to that received by registered nurses in Newfoundland and Labrador, the state of Karnataka has been chosen. The area was also picked due to the concentration of prominent nursing schools there. The Provincial Government has also had success in the past in attracting medical specialists from Bengaluru.   Ethical hiring The announcement encouraged Registered Nurses’ Union president Yvette Coffey in a phone interview. “It’s out-of-the-box, innovative thinking,” Coffey said. With a “significant number” of nurses eligible to retire, support and mentorship programs are essential to working with students, recent graduates, and internationally educated nurses, Coffey said. “We have to be very… careful that we are recruiting ethically,” Coffey said the nursing shortage is a global issue   To find out more details about “Newfoundland and Labrador to recruit nurses from India”, you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@immigrationmatters.info Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.

Immigrant children

Immigrant children earn more than their Canadian-born peers

Uncategorized /

Immigrant children earn more than their Canadian-born peers according to the Economic Outcomes of Tax-filing Immigrants Admitted as Children Compared to Canadian Taxpayers by Age at Taxation in 2020 report, immigrants who have entered Canada as young children experience more significant monetary benefits than their native counterparts when reaching 30 years old.    Evidence suggests that the gap in income between immigrants and other Canadians is primarily due to their higher education attainment. Immigrant families are more likely to prioritize academic success for their children, resulting in greater numbers of graduates holding advanced degrees. This increased educational attainment leads to higher wages and better job opportunities for the immigrant population.   Education potential of Immigrant Children The difference in income between immigrants and other Canadians can be attributed to their higher level of education. Families of immigrants motivate their children to continue their education and earn advanced degrees more frequently.   At every age, significantly more immigrant taxpayers reported post-secondary tuition fees than did the average Canadian. By the time they hit 30+ years of age – at which point most university students are in post-graduate programs – more than a third of immigrant taxpayers, 33.7 percent, reported post-secondary tuition fees on their income tax reports compared to barely over a quarter, 27.2 percent, of all Canadians.   Immigrant children earning potential  The survey also indicates that immigrant children have a higher earning potential than their Canadian-born counterparts since more immigrant children are completing post-secondary education. The median income for 25-year-olds in Canada as a whole was $29,710, whereas the median income for 25-year-olds who moved to Canada as children were $30,300. By the age of 30, the pay gap between immigrants and the general population had grown to almost 13%, with persons who had immigrated as children receiving a median income of $47,400 compared to the general population’s $41,810 income.   Want to know more details about “Immigrant children earn more than their Canadian-born peers” you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@immigrationmatters.info   Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.

Healthcare

The number of job vacancies in Canada’s healthcare sector reaches an all-time high

Work in Canada /

A recent report from Statistics Canada showed that there are more healthcare job vacancies than ever before.  In August of 2022, there were 152,000 vacant healthcare and social assistance positions. Immigrants fill many healthcare positions in Canada.  In fact, 36% of physicians and 25% of registered nurses were born outside the country.    However, it can be difficult for foreign-trained medical professionals to get the proper licensing from Canadian authorities, which makes it hard for them to find work in the healthcare system.   Overall, there are around one million open positions in Canada, which is an all-time high rate of 5.7%. The number of open positions that correspond to the overall labor demand is used to measure vacancies.   The Healthcare system of Canada. One of the richest nations in the world, Canada has a successful economy, a wealth of natural resources, and excellent infrastructure. Progressive leaders in the US, the nation’s southern neighbor, have praised its universal public healthcare system as a better option than the American system, where millions of people remain without healthcare.   Canadian Medicare is a distributed, publically funded, and universal healthcare system. The provinces and territories of the nation are principally responsible for funding and managing health care. Each receives per-capita cash assistance from the federal government as well as its own insurance plan. Benefits and methods of delivery vary. However, all citizens and permanent residents are entitled to free point-of-use hospital and medical treatments. Dental care and prescription outpatient medications are examples of excluded services that some citizens and permanent residents may be required to pay for. For specific groups, provinces and territories offer some coverage. The majority of Canadians—about two-thirds—also have private insurance.    HealthCare Canada Job Benefits in Canada Career Perks: Opportunities for Growth access to ongoing education Flexible Work Schedules Mobility and Job Security Excellent pay and benefits Insurance Benefits Leave Benefits   To find out more details about “The number of job vacancies in Canada’s healthcare sector & related details”, you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@immigrationmatters.info Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.
