processing of spousal TRVs

IRCC fastens the processing of spousal TRVs, helping more families reunite

Uncategorized /

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have fastened the processing of spousal TRVs to just 30 days for applicants who have already applied for permanent residency in Canada. This means that applicants no longer need to wait in their home countries for IRCC to make a decision but can instead come to Canada and wait for the processing to be completed.  As a result, Canadians or permanent residents with spouses and dependents abroad can be reunited with their families faster and begin settling in their communities. However, it is essential to note that spouses and dependents on a TRV can only work or study in Canada once they are approved for permanent residence or obtain a work or study permit. Families must stay together, particularly through important life events like relocating to a new country. This is why Canada is trying to make it easier for families to reconnect and sustain themselves once they reach. This basically means that Canadians and permanent residents with spouses and dependents living overseas will be able to connect with them more quickly and start settling into their new homes.    Processing of spousal TRVs As an approach to helping families to spend more time together while they wait for their permanent residency to be approved, Honorable Minister Sean Fraser proposed faster processing of spousal temporary resident visas (TRVs) processing and considerate application processes.  In the future, the majority of these applications will be processed within a 30-day period, and applicants will get access to processing procedures suited to their circumstances as spouses and dependents. These new tools have already been used to process multiple applications. There has been a 93% approval rate among this set of applicants. New initiatives to support family reunions were announced by the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, along with the Honourable Hedy Fry, Member of Parliament for Vancouver Centre, Including: Faster processing times for temporary residents visa (TRV) for spouses tools for processing new and specific spousal TRV applications. a new open work permit for candidates under the family and spousal classes. extensions for open work permit holders with permits expiration between August 1 and the end of 2023 Lastly, Minister Fraser declared that open work permit holders, including spousal applicants, who have open work permit expirations between August 1 and the end of 2023, will be allowed to extend their work visas for an additional 18 months.  Join our RSS Feed    Want to know more details about “IRCC fastens the processing of spousal TRVs, helping more families reunite” 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.

The Canadian Government needs more immigrants to improve the economy

Uncategorized /

The Canadian Government needs more immigrants to improve the economy as Canada faces an aging population, a new report suggests that the country needs to increase immigration to balance the demographic. According to the report, the working-age population would have to grow by 2.2% annually through 2040 to maintain the same old-age dependency ratio as in 2022. To return to the average ratio between 1990 and 2015, the same group would have to grow by 4.5% each year.  While the potential increase in immigration levels has sparked debate over whether the country can handle more newcomers, proponents argue that the labor market can absorb more workers and more working-age Canadians are needed to support the tax base. Last year, Canada’s population grew by over one million people, the fastest rate since 1957. With one million vacant jobs across the country, the country is experiencing a labor shortage, and that’s why immigration objectives are increasing. Canada has one of the oldest populations in the world, and its low birth rate leads to a labor shortage. According to Statistics Canada, the nation’s birth rate dropped to a record low of 1.4 children per woman in 2020. This would have to rise to 2.1 in order to maintain Canada’s population without immigration.   Immigrants Contributing to Canada’s Economy The economy of Canada is boosted by immigrants. According to Statistics Canada, immigrants play a significant role in all sectors of the Canadian economy. The number of people working (sometimes referred to as the labor force) and paying taxes to support public services, such as health care, is one indicator of how strong the Canadian economy is. The labor force in Canada is expanding annually due to immigration. While funding for public services is essential, embracing immigrants can aid employers in filling open positions with skilled candidates. This is a result of Canadians living longer lives and having fewer kids. Fewer people are enrolling in schools, and more individuals are retiring. As a result, there aren’t many current and future workers who were born in Canada. Not only do immigrants fill labor shortages and pay taxes, but they also spend money on goods, housing, and transportation, which helps the Canadian economy. Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025 According to the Canadian government’s immigration levels plan for 2023–2025, 1.45 million new permanent residents from all immigration categories are expected to arrive in Canada over the next three years. According to the government’s immigration goals, Canada will accept permanent residents through a number of programs. Canada plans to bring in 465,000, 485,000, and 500,000 additional permanent residents between 2023 and 2025. Canada welcomed 405,000 permanent residents in 2021. 431,645 people moved to Canada permanently in 2022. The following table displays Canada’s immigration plans for each immigration group between 2023 – 2025: Immigration Class 2023 2024 2025 Economic 266,210 281,135 301,250 Family 106,500 114,000 118,000 Refugee 76,305 76,115 72,750 Humanitarian 15,985 13,750 8,000 Total 465,000 485,000 500,000 Join our RSS Feed    Want to know more details about “The Canadian Government needs more immigrants to improve the economy” you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.

asylum seekers

Ottawa announced millions in funding for support asylum seekers

Uncategorized /

On July 18, 2023, the Federal Government announced increased support for asylum seekers in Canada due to the rising number of people claiming asylum. The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Sean Fraser, announced a one-time injection of approximately $212 million in funding into the Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP) until March 31, 2024.  This includes roughly $97 million in new allotment for the City of Toronto. The IHAP provides funding on a cost-sharing basis to provinces and municipalities for interim housing for asylum claimants.  Additionally, IRCC has been working with the most impacted provinces and territories to increase the amount of temporary housing, including over 3,800 hotel rooms in six provinces to provide temporary housing to asylum claimants. This was in addition to the $700 million that had already been provided through the program, including over $215 million for the City of Toronto, it was added. In a statement The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Sean Fraser said:  “The most vulnerable people in the world who seek our protection will continue to get support from Canada. Today, we devoted extra funds to make sure that communities like Toronto have the ability to provide asylum seekers escaping conflict, persecution, and violence with a roof over their heads as well.”   What is Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP)? The Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP) collaborates on a cost-sharing basis with local governments and provinces to give asylum seekers temporary shelter. IHAP intends to keep the Government’s promise because its primary goal will be to give financial assistance to the provinces and, if necessary, municipal governments in the event that a cost-sharing agreement is not reached with the provinces, in order to deal with the extraordinary interim housing pressures brought on by an increase in the number of asylum seekers entering Canada.   What is the difference between Asylum Seekers and Refugees? A person who left their country and is looking for protection from persecution and serious violations of human rights in another country, but who has not yet received official recognition as a refugee and is awaiting a judgment on their asylum claim, is said to be an asylum seeker. Asylum-seeking is a human right. If a claimant has committed a serious crime, made a previous claim in Canada, submitted a claim in another country with which Canada shares immigration information, or received protection in another nation, their application may be refused. Once granted, asylum seekers are permitted to remain while the federal government determines whether they meet the requirements for refugee status.  They might have access to social services, education, health care, temporary housing, and legal aid in the interim.  Who is a refugee? A hearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board must determine that the applicant cannot return home because they fulfill one of two requirements:  a “well-founded fear of persecution” because of their race, beliefs, or other factor. having been “ongoingly denied” essential human rights or having been “seriously affected” by war. Refugees are permitted to remain in Canada, where they can apply to become permanent residents and eventually citizens.

permanent residency requirements for Hong Kong

Canada eased permanent residency requirements for Hong Kong nationals

Uncategorized /

On July 11, 2023, the Government of Canada eased permanent residency requirements for Hong Kong nationals. Canada removed the education requirement for Hong Kong nationals applying for permanent residency under the Canadian work experience stream (Stream B) starting August 15, 2023.   This amendment simplifies the application process and expands eligibility for permanent residence to more Hong Kongers with Canadian work experience. Applicants will no longer need to submit proof of education.  This change complements recent measures, such as extending and expanding open work permits for Hong Kong residents to help more Hong Kongers transition from temporary to permanent residency in Canada. The removal of the education requirements under Stream B [as of August 15] is a win-win situation since it makes it possible to support more Hong Kongers who need to come to Canada while also assisting Canadian firms in filling labor shortages with local people who already have work experience. As the requirements for permanent residency will no longer be determined by their educational status, more Hong Kongers with Canadian work experience will be eligible. As applicants are not required to submit documents anymore, it also makes the application process easier.   The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Statement:  “Canada has made a huge step toward encouraging inclusivity and embracing the spirit of opportunity by acknowledging the remarkable abilities and potential of Hong Kong’s talented individuals. The removal of the education requirements under Stream B is a win-win situation since it allows us to welcome more Hong Kongers to Canada who requires our assistance while also assisting Canadian businesses by providing individuals with local work experience in order to address labor shortages. I welcome these changes because it shows Canada’s sustained commitment to the people of Hong Kong and opens the door for further fruitful relations between the two countries.”   Permanent residency requirements for Hong Kong nationals The temporary public policy for Hong Kong nationals who are currently in Canada offers qualified applicants and their families a road to permanent immigration. Hong Kong residents may qualify for one of two streams. Hong Kong nationals may apply under one of the following categories for permanent residence: Stream A: In-Canada graduates Stream B: Canadian work experience There is no longer a due date to get qualifications for the updated Stream B pathway. Instead, applicants just need to have completed at least one year of full-time employment or 1,560 hours of part-time employment in Canada during the previous three years in order to apply for permanent residency, expanding the pool of candidates.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has charged Indian national Brijesh Mishra with immigration-related offenses, including unauthorized representation or advice for consideration, counseling misrepresentation, misrepresentation (direct or indirect misrepresentation and communicating false information), and non-compliance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).  The charges stem from an investigation initiated by CBSA after receiving information regarding Mr. Mishra’s status in Canada and his alleged involvement in fraudulent activities, including issuing fraudulent letters to Indian students on behalf of Canadian postsecondary institutions.
