Montreal has unseated Paris after QS rankings introduced student opinion metric in the whole ranking system. It really must not have come as a surprise to any student who has studied in Montreal that the city now stands as the best student city in the world.

It had finished 7^th last year. But this year it even beat fellow francophone metropolis Paris to take the no 1 spot in the 2017 QS Best Student City rankings.Paris actually fell to a no 2 spot and London has come to the next no 3 spot. Vancouver is the only other city from Canada to find a spot and is at the moment ranked 10^th in the World.

QS rankings is the best agency in the world at the moment to give World University rankings.

Ben Sowter, who heads the Intelligence Unit at QS, explained that the Best Student City Rankings is based on six parameters:

Rankings: Where do universities in the city place in the QS World University Rankings?

Student mix: The number of students in general, and the number of international students.

Desirability: Includes factors such as safety, pollution, corruption.

Employer activity: Are employers interested in graduates from at least one university?

Affordability and Student opinion and experiences.

Students surprised by Montreal experience

The last metric is a new measure, and that is what helped Montreal being propelled to the top spot this year.

Study in Canada

He said that for Montreal and other Canadian cities, the actual experience that people are having when they go there, is much more positive than the imagination or expectation of it before they go. He also said that the low expectations that students have could also result from the degree of modesty that the Canadian Universities and Colleges display as potential destinations for international students.

“One of the things I’ve heard said about Canada is that, from a cultural standpoint, it’s much less forthcoming in letting people know that it’s there,” he said. He was of the view that the city is not assertive enough and could actually do with a lot of publicity. The city actually needs to emphasize that it is there, it has a very different political landscape and it is open for business.

Canada has increase its immigration targets for the next three years which might see an influx of about 1 million new Permanent Residents in the country. With setting of these bigger targets for Canada’s economic immigration categories for 2018, Immigration and Refugees Canada will only be left with the option of quicker and frequent draws from the pool in the new year’s or to take in more candidates meaning a larger draw. Both of these options will affect the Combined Ranking Scores bringing the threshold to a lower cut off.

In 2017, all the CRS thresholds have hovered between 400 to 450s. In most of the draws in 2017, they remained around the 430’s. 2017 also saw the lowest threshold so far in June at 4013. In 2016 this trend did not prevail as there were fewer ITA with very high cut-offs. The lowest CRS score in 2016 was 453. In 2018, it is expected that many more ITA’s will be issued, and this translates to expecting much lower CRS scores.

2017 also saw a few exceptional draws, like on May 26th and Nov 1st, where candidates with provincial nominations and Federal Skilled Trades Class were targeted. This peaked to a high at 775 for provincial nominees and fell to as low as 199 for Federal Skilled Trades Class. It is important to note that provincial nominees receive extra 600 points for nomination on their express entry application.
When draws are made on program mes specifications, they always have an effect of reducing the thresholds in the Express Entry System. But November seems to have set in a new and dynamic trend for 2018, and for obvious reasons, 2018 will be an year to watch out for.

Canada Express Entry

A move that is being as the most ambitious in the Canadian history will usher in nearly 1 million new immigrants till 2020. The immigration minister, Ahmed Hussen has stated that in the period between 2018 till 2020, nearly 10 lakh new immigrants will find home in the country.

Most of these economic immigrants will find way to Canada through the express entry system. In an expansive target tabled in the House of Commons a few weeks ago, new multi-year immigration levels plan has been set out. All immigration targets through the various Express Entry streams will increase every year until 2020.

The new plan is very different from the previous plans that have set targets for the upcoming years. This plan is touted to benefit all Canadians because immigrants will help contribute to the economic growth and innovation in the country and keep the country as a front runner in the Global economy. 3,10,000 new immigrants will settle in Canada in 2018 with these numbers increasing to 3,30,000 in 2019 and 3,40,000 in 2020, which are the targets as set out in the new plan.

Around 5,65,000 amongst these new immigrants will find entry into Canada through the economic programmes.

More ITA’s (Invitation to apply) have been issued in 2017 compared to the previous two years put together. Almost quarter million new immigrants are envisaged to come in through one single economic programme managed under Express Entry.

The intake for the Express Entry applicants in 2017 saw a decrease in the CRS scores with the minimum falling to 413 in June whereas last year this minimum was 450 for the Federal Skilled Workers Class. The reason for this fall was the increase in no of immigrant’s intake set out. The Federal Skilled Trades Class also saw a decline in the CRS scores at which ITA’s were sent. This threshold dipped to 241.Higher intake targets may contribute towards even lower CRS thresholds in the coming years.

Canada’s most popular Provincial Nominee Programme (PNP) streams are helping candidates in the Federal Express Entry pool to immigrate into the country. Ontario’s Human Capital Priorities stream opened last week and allowed certain candidates to qualify for receiving an ITA (Invitation to Apply).

The specific criteria of the Human Capital Priorities stream, which is a part of the Ontario Immigration Nominee Programme(OINP) are; a minimum score of 400 on the CRS, and a few other eligibility criteria. Candidates who are identified through the stream receive a notification of interest from the province. They then apply for receiving a nomination certificate, which adds 600 points for them on the Express Entry pool, and are sure to receive an ITA in the next draw.

Canada Education Consultants (CEC) provides you the easy pathways for the Provincial Nominee Program Canada 2017. The stream was opened many times during the year, and may open once more in 2017. In June, the stream made a strategic decision to do away with the criteria of a minimum 400 points to allow intake of communications and IT professionals. It seems that similar decisions may be made in the future to allow people from preferred professional backgrounds. At the moment Ontario is not receiving applications through this stream, as it was closed just a few days later after opening. The province has confirmed that if an applicant is approved even after the OINP yearly allotment is filled, the nomination will be issued in 2018.

The five amendments that are done in Canada benefit international students as well as the permanent residents, who held protected person status or were temporary residents such as work permit and study permit holders.
As On 11th October, the Canadian permanent residents who were previously on study permit will be able to count a portion of their time while studying towards Canadian citizenship residency requirement. There was also reduction in the physical presence for 3 to 4 years. It means international students and graduates, who would be looking to settle in Canada can enjoy the better way for their needs.

How this benefits international students
As per the new regulations, each day of the permanent residents spent in Canada as an international student or a post graduation work permit holder, was counted as a half day for up to a maximum of 365 possible days. The new measures and the reduction in the days for physical presence for three years could mean the workers and the international graduates in Canada are eligible to apply for citizenship after two years of being permanent residents.Morever, the government no longer needed the citizenship applicants to be present in Canada for 183 or more days in 4 out of 6 years preceding the citizenship application as was earlier.

As before, the time spent in Canada on temporary status was not counted for citizenship. The students would be counting their physical presence requirement for citizenship after getting the permanent residence. The residents had to be present in Canada for 4 to 6 years to fulfill the physical presence requirements in order to be eligible to apply for the citizenship.
