I was browsing the net when I came across article that led me to know about the upcoming Study in Canada Fair 2014.
For those of you interested in studying in Canada, here's an event that can be the key in achieving your dream in studying, and ultimately, work & live in Canada.
The fair will be held on October 4, 2014 at the Fairmont Hotel in Makati City from 10 am to 6 pm.
Admission is free and you can register online. Just go to www.studyincanada.eventbrite.com.
The best part is that it is endorsed through the official Facebook page of the Embassy of Canada in the Philippines.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada targets to admit 55,300 persons in the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category in 2013. A new regulation and procedure will also be implemented in 2013.
Find out how you will be eligible.
Attend one of Canadian Immigration Consultancy's Live and Work in Canada information seminar schedules.
If you can't attend due to your busy schedule, you may take this free online assessment.
After the sad news of temporary pause on new applications to the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) last July, here is the revised Federal Skilled Worker Program of Canada every aspiring immigrants should know about.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is proposing the following changes to the FSWP:
Other important aspects of the proposed revised FSWP are:
The proposed changes will take effect when CIC starts again to accept applicants under the FSWP early 2013. Know more about this important update by reading the official statement of the Revised Federal Skilled Worker Program of Canada here.
My takeaway for the proposed changes are (1) that aspiring immigrants need to to be competent in the Canadian English and/or French language, (2) age will now be a factor and (3) education attained need to be on par with Canada's education level. Those are something to prepare for if you consider migrating to Canada under FSWP. Best of luck. :)
The Canada-Alberta Pilot Project could be one's much awaited opportunity towards a better future.
The Canada-Alberta Pilot Project allows certain Temporary Foreign Workers in specific skilled, in-demand occupations to be issued a work permit that allows them to move freely between employers, without first receiving authorization from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada.
Previously, only the steamfitter/pipefitter occupation was included in this pilot project. But it has expanded to include:
But before you come crashing at the Embassy of Canada nearest you, read more information about CANADA-ALBERTA Pilot Project here.
Biomeotrics will be utilized to further strengthen Canada's immigration system via the Harper Government's Protecting Canada’s Immigration System Act.
Biometrics will make it harder for unscrupulous people to get to migrate to Canada by taking other identities, most notably criminals attempting to get away for their crimes in another country.
On the part of legitimate aspiring migrants, this would definitely entail additional cost in pursuing that Canadian dream.
Two questions.
Are you interested to work or migrate to Canada now or in the future?
Do you have your own blog, website or social media page?
If you answer YES to both questions, then the recently launched Citizenship and Immigration Canada Widget is right for you.
You can just copy & paste the widget code in your blog, website or social media page and voila! You get the latest information about working or migrating to Canada.

Canada's Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP) is one of easier for for foreign workers to obtain a permanent residence in Canada. I've used the word "easier", in the sense, that foreign workers hired as caregiver in Canada can become eligible for permanent residency after completing two years of work or 3,900 hours.
Plus, recent policy changes provides for faster issuance of open work permits for Live-in Caregivers.
LCP allows Canadian families to employ foreign workers to provide care to their child/children, elderly or member of their families with disabilities, provided that there is a proof of shortage of Canadians or permanent residents to fill that need.
In 2008, about 10,400 individuals (spouses & dependents included) became permanent residents from the 7,200 caregivers in 2005.
Canada deeply recognizes the role of live-in caregivers in their society that it has taken significant actions in protecting them from abuse and exploitation. Improvements made on the Live-in Caregiver Program in 2010 and the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in 2011 greatly increases the protection of caregivers. They are:
More good news for Live-in Caregivers in Canada as they can now be issued open work permits once they completed their obligation and submitted an application for permanent residence.
Previously, they have to wait first for the approval of their permanent resident application before being eligible to an open work permit. An open work permit allows the caregiver to move out of their employer's home and seek jobs in other fields if they so desire.
There may be a decline on the demand for live-in caregivers in Canada nowadays but that is a path worth exploring for those who dreamed of working, and eventually settling, in Canada.
How's your English? Comment est votre français?
Are you dreaming of becoming a Canadian citizen someday? It is best to start becoming fluent or at least be conversant in either French or English.
Applicants for citizenship are required to communicate in either of Canada's official languages. Makes sense because how can you adjust well in working or living in Canada if you couldn't understand the people around you or be understood in return?
There is a new proposal from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) tha aims to change the way citizenship applicants prove their language ability.
CIC currently uses the citizenship knowledge test as well as the applicant’s interaction with CIC staff to assess language ability. If it appears an applicant does not meet language requirements, they are invited for an interview with a citizenship judge. There can be a significant time delay between the submission of the application and the subsequent hearing for language.
The proposed new rule that applicants must provide objective evidence that they meet the language requirement when they file their application would give citizenship judges better evidence on which to base their decision. CIC would also be able to return applications of those who do not provide evidence they meet the requirements more quickly, thus improving application processing.
[... Applicants would be able to demonstrate language ability by submitting a variety of evidence, including:
the results of a third party test; evidence of completion of secondary or post-secondary education in English or French; or evidence of achieving CLB/NCLC 4 in certain government funded language training programs.]
Once a lady friend approached me on her chances of going to Canada. Since, I am not an immigration consultant, I referred her to another friend who actually is. And she immediately shot down my suggestion.
I'm sure there a lot of visitors of this blog that are similarly curious about their chances of going to work or live in Canada but are not yet sold to the idea of approaching an an immigration consultant.
Well, they ought to try the Come-to-Canada Wizard just like my lady friend.
Starting today, a pilot project is launched allowing temporary foreign workers to bring along family members and work too in British Columbia, Canada.
Read it in full here.
In a pilot project in British Columbia, Canada will be exploring the benefits of allowing family members of temporary foreign workers to also work in the province together.
Before this project, only spouses and common-law partners of temporary foreign workers employed in a managerial, professional or skilled trades job have been eligible to obtain an open work permit in British Columbia.
But through this pilot project, up to 1,800 working permits will be available for spouses, common-law partners and working-age dependants of temporary foreign workers and will be offered only until February 15, 2013.
Find more information about being a temporary foreign worker in Canada here. It is also important to take note of the New Rules of Canada's Temporary Foreign Workers Program that took effect last April 1, 2011.
Getting hired to work temporarily in Canada not only allows foreigners to earn a living for a short period of time. Being so gives them the Canadian Experience that will open more doors of opportunities.
If this pilot project proves to be successful and expanded to the entire country, skilled working families of foreigners like Filipinos stands a good chance in finding greener pastures in a developed country like Canada.
Jason Kenney, the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration & Multiculturalism, announced Canada's plan to admit about 40,000 immigrants under Canada's Provincial Nominee Program in 2011.
For those people dreaming of getting a job in Canada, you might want to have a closer eye on the province of Newfoundland & Labrador.
The province is expected to have 70, 000 job openings in the next 10 years as reported in thetelegram.com and based on the recent release of the Newfoundland and Labrador Labour Market: Outlook 2020.
Starting today, July 1, 2011 the slight but impactful changes to Canada's Federal Skilled Workers Immigration program will be implemented.
The reduction of the number of applications to be considered plus the cap set for each of the 29 priority occupations would be tough to applicants. But at least, the list weren't trimmed down further. There was a time the high demand jobs to migrate to Canada under the same program stood at 38.
It also important to note which occupations reached the cap limit under the previous set of requirements. They were:
0631 Restaurant and Food Service Managers
1122 Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management
2121 Biologists and Related Scientists
2151 Architects
3111 Specialist Physicians
3112 General Practitioners and Family Physicians
3113 Dentists
3131 Pharmacists
3152 Registered Nurses
It is best to act fast to be eligible and be able to submit their applications as soon as possible especially those falling under the 9 occupations listed above.
Remember that to be eligible:
Notes:
I am not an immigration consultant. It would be best to consult only with those authorized ones, avoiding crooked immigration consultants when applying to migrate to Canada. I personally know a very experienced and authorized one who offers free assessment. Check him out here.
Crooked immigration consultants days are numbered or, at the very least, will be tougher.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is going after shady and unacceptable practices of immigration consultants that will protect applicants from immigration fraud and boost confidence in the integrity of Canada's immigration program.
Crooked immigration consultants may take advantage of the changes in the Canada immigration program - limiting the number of application to be accepted from certain categories of federal economic immigration stream - and lure many applicants.
Part of this initiative is naming of Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) as the new regulatory body to oversee immigration consultants, taking over from the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC). Members of CSIC can start to register with ICCRC on June 30, 2011. Transition to ICCRC from CSIC ends on October 28, 2011.
Immigration consultants or representatives are authorized to offer paid professional service if they are a member of good standing with ICCRC, provincial/territorial law society, including paralegals or members of Chambre des notaires du Québec.
CIC and the ICCRC will implement Bill C-35 to weed out crooked immigration consultants.
Bill C-35 [Act to Amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act]
makes it an offence for anyone other than an authorized representative to conduct business, for a fee or other consideration, at any stage of an application or proceeding. This includes the period before a proceeding begins or an application is submitted and means that anyone who provides paid immigration advice at the pre-application stage will need to be an authorized representative, as identified in section 91 of the Act.
Unpaid third parties, such as family members and friends, can still act on behalf of an applicant.
Know more about Bill C-35 here.
It is one's right to seek a better way of life for one's self and his/her family like migrating to a country like Canada. Hiring and paying for an immigration consultant can facilitate one's immigration application.
But not all immmigration consultants can help an applicant. Getting the help of unauthorized or incompetent consultant can delay the application, cost unnecessary fees or worse get the application denied.
By seeking professional advice only from legally authorized immigration consultants, applicants stand to have a better chance of migrating to Canada, realizing their dream for a better life.
At the same, doing so lessens the opportunity of crooked immigration consultants to victimize migrant-hopefuls. To me, it is a contribution in itself to curtailing immigration fraud and human trafficking.
Here's an authorized and experienced Canada Immigration Consultant.
Canada announced changes to its immigration policies. Basically, a reduce intake of immigration applications.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is limiting the number of new applications it will consider in certain categories of the federal economic immigration stream. Effective July 1, 2011, the changes will affect new applicants to the federal Skilled Worker, federal Immigrant Investor and federal Entrepreneur programs.
Paramedics and Ambulance Attendants are group of workers who administer pre-hospital emergency medical care to patients with injuries or medical illnesses and transport them to hospitals or other medical facilities for further medical care.
Talking about paramedics, Peter Petrelli comes to mind. He is a major character in the successful TV series, Heroes. Aside from having extraordinary powers, he is a paramedic in that show. In the opening episode of its final season, Peter was using his powers in his paramedic duties, abling him to save so many lives.
Other than in that show, Paramedics and Ambulance attendants are not a glamorous job. Emergency services are on call 24/7 so they have irregular working hours. And every situation is almost always a matter of life and death.

Opticians fit clients with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses, assist clients in the selection of eyeglass frames, arrange for the production of eyeglasses or contact lenses and mount lenses in eyeglass frames.
Opticians are the kind of medical professionals that I see at least once a year. They are the ones who help farsighted or nearsighted people see better and at the same time look better. Opticians themselves need an eye for what frame or eyeglasses would enhance the facial features of their clients.
They are employed in optical retail outlets or other establishments with optical dispensing departments, or they may be self-employed.
