The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Programme was launched in last January and it is constantly gaining momentum. The interest is growing from both immigrants and employers. This programme was planned as a partnership between the Canadian government and the Atlantic provinces to attract and keep skilled immigrants, as well as recently graduated international students from Atlantic universities and colleges, to meet the requirements of skilled workers.

On a count till July this year 280 candidates have been recruited through this stream. Amongst these, more than 200 candidates were given an endorsement through an Atlantic province, which is the first stage towards immigration for Canada. The second stage is applying for permanent residence. More than 400 employers in Canada are eligible to use the Atlantic Pilot programme to fill job vacancies and recruit immigrants.

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.

Ontario is Canada’s most populous provinces with both the country’s largest city, Toronto as well as the national capital city, Ottawa. More than 39 percent of landed immigrants choose Ontario for settling. The Human Capital Priorities is one of the three enhanced OINP streams which are aligned to the Federal Express Entry stream. OINP also offers a French speaking skilled worker stream as well as the Skilled Trades stream which was recently started.
These streams under PNP are playing a very crucial role in Canada’s economic immigration system. In 2016, almost 26 percent of applicants received ITA’s through the PNP’s. This number was only 13 percent in 2015. The target for receiving immigrants through the PNP’s in 2017 is 51,000 which will increase to 55,000 in 2018.

New rules on the age of immigrants for applications to Canada have come into force as of October 24^th, 2017. Now on all applications for immigration to Canada, Children below the age of 22 will be considered as dependants. This ruling also pertains to economic migrants and refugees. Before this for the past three years, only children less than 19 were deemed as dependants on all immigration programs administered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

All children who are dependent on their parents because of their physical or mental health condition will still be considered dependants children even if 22 years of age or older

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Canada has explained that this ruling will be not be applied in retrospect to applications that were submitted on or after 1^st August 2014. The ruling is applicable only to applications submitted on 24^th October 2017 or after that. IRCC has said that, ‘applying the change to in-process applications would require a pause in finalizing many permanent residence applications and would impact processing times in many programs.’

Canada as a country has always laid emphasis on keeping families together. The government believes that the new rule of increasing the age limit would have a great positive effect and will impact the social and cultural family foundations in the society. The decision would also raise the bar for the country by making it a choicest destination for families, which would in turn boost the economy as a higher no of skilled immigrants would want to be here

Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Ahmed Hussen said that,“Raising the age of dependents lets more families stay together. This will bring economic and social gains to our country as it enhances our attractiveness as a destination of choice for immigrants and refugees”.

The current Federal Government has a very progressive outlook in terms of immigration. The recent changes go on to prove that the Government is dedicated to providing an easy transit for immigrant families into the Canadian sphere. Recently many other measures were changed in the Canada Citizenship Act so that immigrants find it easier to attain a citizenship and the transition is smoother than before.

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.

In 2015, Canada had a total of 3,53,000 international students studying at various levels. A good 14 percent of them were Indians. 51 percent of international students studying in the institutions there, plan to apply for permanent residence in Canada and 37 percent say they will stay on for further education. International students make up for 11 percent of post-secondary student population in Canada. Among the countries that send maximum no of students to study in Canada, India comes a close second, only to China.

In 2014 the number of internationally mobile students crossed the 5 million mark, and it is estimated that by 2022 the number of students studying abroad will reach 7 million.

In surveys being held, 95 percent students cite Canada as the best study destination. A massive, 91 percent students are satisfied with their experience in Canada.International students consider Engineering, business and the natural and social sciences as the top fields of study in Canada.Canada Education Consultants is one of the premier consultants to get the best education in Canada for the Indians

In a latest boost, the country is now planning an increase in the no. of international students and academic researchers to more than 4.5 lakh by the year 2022. This will be an economic fillip to the universities, since international students pay much higher tuition fee than Canadians. The Canadian Trade ministry has clarified that the move will be made without reducing the seats for the Canadian students.The federal strategy is also to increase the no of jobs sustained by overseas students by almost a lakh. The ministry is planning to spend almost 5 lakh a year to fund a marketing and branding campaign so that international students are lured to Canada as a high-quality education hub at relatively low cost.
