Canada extends validity of Super Visa, parents & grandparents can stay for 5 years per entry

Canada has announced plans to extend the validity of its popular Super Visa- which allows parents and grand parents of current permanent residents and citizens to visit them.
The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced that, starting July 4, Super Visa holders will be allowed to stay in the country for up to five years per entry.

Current holders of the Super Visa will also have the option to request an extension of their stay by up to two years while in Canada.
This means current Super Visa holders will now be able to stay in Canada for up to seven consecutive years.
According to IRCC data, approximately 17,000 Super Visas are issued per year. The visa is a multi-entry visa that is valid for up to 10 years.

Another change the IRCC announcement brings, is that select international medical insurance companies will be able to provide coverage to Super Visa applicants in the future.

Canada’s Immigration Minister will have the authority to designate these companies.

1. Have a signed invite letter from you that includes:

a promise of financial support for the duration of their visit

the list and number of people in your household

a copy of your Canadian citizenship or permanent resident document

2. Have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that:

is valid for at least one year from the date of entry

provides at least $100,000 for minimum coverage

have proof that the medical insurance has been paid (quotes aren’t accepted)

3. They must also:

be allowed to enter Canada

take an immigration medical exam

For the past several years, Indians have led the charts both in terms of the number of invites issued to become permanent residents and those admitted as permanent residents. To illustrate: In 2020, Indian citizens bagged 50,841 invites to apply for permanent residence in Canada, under the ‘Express Entry’ route.

Denmark Wants to Change Its Permanent Residency Employment Criteria.
Becoming a Danish permanent resident could become easier than before, as the New Danish Minister for Immigration and Integration, Kaare Dybvad Bek, has expressed his intentions to facilitate the procedure for workers.

In an interview with Politiken newspaper, Minister Bek said that people engaged in paid internships should be considered as sufficient criteria for permanent residency, saying he wants Denmark’s immigration rules to be “tight, but not crazy,” SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
More specifically, the minister said that internships and trainee programs should count toward the work requirement, indicating that applicants for permanent residency must have worked for at least three years and six months for the last four years, which means that only a six-month period of unemployment would be acceptable for such applicants.
Minister Bek, who noted that he was trying to “tidy up things that make no sense” in Denmark’s permanent residency rules, pointed out that although he wants to facilitate these rules for workers, he is not keen to restore the old education policy, which regulated education to be used to satisfy the work requirement.
“We believe that people become well integrated by being at a place of work. That could be having responsibility for senior citizens, a checkout at Netto, or laying bricks. By being around colleagues every single day, you will get a very good idea of what Danish society is generally about,” Bek said to Politiken, indicating working people should be considered first.
According to Statista data, the number of permanent residence permits granted in Denmark peaked in 2015, when 5,500 permits were granted. It then dropped to 2,200 in 2017 before slowly increasing since, reaching 4,450 by 2021. In 2021, a total of 74,769 people received some kind of residence permit in Denmark.

Canada planning major Express Entry changes
The Canadian government is planning changes to the Express Entry system, which would allow the immigration minister to invite candidates based on an economic goal.
Aiden Strickland, a spokesperson on behalf of the immigration minister, said in an email to CIC News that these proposed changes will improve Canada’s ability to select applicants that match its economic needs.
“Through our growing pool of candidates seeking to become permanent residents, this will allow IRCC to conduct targeted draws aimed at selecting those in the queue that have certain language skills or health care qualifications to name a few examples,” Strickland wrote. “This will be essential in addressing Canada’s labour shortages.”
The changes are currently being discussed in the Canadian parliament. On May 19, Philip Somogyvari from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) presented the proposed changes to the Standing Committee on Immigration and Citizenship, a committee of elected officials that studies matters related to Canadian immigration.
Somogyvari, who is an IRCC Director General, explained the amendments would authorize the immigration minister to invite Express Entry candidates on a new basis, one that would support an economic goal identified by the minister.
“Eligibility requirements to be a member of a category would be established by the minister and could be based on factors such as work experience, educational background or language skills,” Somogyvari said.
“For example, if there was a desire to leverage immigration to support the growth of Canada’s tech sector, a category of Express Entry candidates would be created based on criteria such as their possession of work experience in their sector occupation and/or their possession of a related educational credential. Invitations could then be issued to the top-ranked candidates in that category.”

Australia has opened a permanent residency pathway for 457 visa holders in any occupation.

Federal government will amend the migration act to open PR pathway for 457 visa holders.
According to the amendment proposed, any one who held a 457 visa on or after 17 April 2017 and was in Australia for 12 months between 1 Feb 2020 and 14 Dec 2021 will be able to apply for the 186 Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream, irrespective of their occupation and age.

This instrument amends the Migration (LIN 19/216: Exemptions from Skill, Age and English Language Requirements for Subclass 186, 187 and 494 Visas) Instrument 2019 to specify an additional class of persons for paragraph 186.221(b) of Schedule 2 to the Regulations.
The Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457) was a temporary visa that allowed skilled workers to come to Australia and work for an approved business for up to four years after it was granted.

On 18 April 2017, the then Prime Minister Australia Malcom Turnbull and Peter Dutton MP, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, jointly announced that the Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457 visa) will be abolished and replaced with the completely new Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa which would support businesses in addressing genuine skill shortages.
A new 482 visa was introduced for skilled workers. However the abolition of 457 visa had left many temporary residents disappointed.

Impermanence nation: Canada's growing relaing on temporary residents to meet labor needs

Canada is increasingly relying on temporary residents to meet its labor force needs, according to a Reuters analysis of official data, but this phenomenon makes workers vulnerable and fails to provide wage growth or stability to businesses, warn workers, advocates, economists and industry groups.
Temporary residents come to Canada on time-limited visas, some of them tied to specific employers, after which they are expected to return to their countries of origin. While there are ways to become permanent residents, and many come intending to do so, there are often significant hurdles to achieving this.
Offering temporary visas is seen as an easy fix for tight job markets and may allow politicians to avoid the potential political fallout of large numbers of new permanent residents, analysts say.
But this trend can depress labor standards, which employers might otherwise boost to entice hires. People with permanent resident status are better positioned to demand better working conditions, economists say.

Wage suppression can reduce the overall population's spending power and hurt economic growth, said economist Armine Yalnizyan, Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers.
University of Waterloo economist Mikal Skuterud argues that to promote economic equality it may make more sense to prioritize the immigration of higher-skilled people, who will exert downward pressure on the highest salaries while employers of lower-paid workers raise wages to woo employees.

Temporary residents - who often come from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean - say their precarious immigration status leaves them open to exploitation.
The programs are an "essential tool" for Canada's economy, its immigration minister told Reuters, but he sees room for broader pathways to permanency.

The number of people living and working in Canada on a temporary basis has grown faster than permanent.

Canada is open to tourists again. Here’s how to avoid criminal inadmissibility issues at the border-:

This year marks the first since the start of the pandemic that Canada is fully open to tourists.
Canada imposed travel restrictions on tourists in March 2020 and lifted them for those fully vaccinated in late summer 2021. Effective April 1st, fully vaccinated tourists do not need to complete a COVID-19 test before entering Canada.
This is good news for tourists since Canada is making it much easier to visit the country.
One thing to keep in mind though is the importance of preparing in advance if you have a criminal offense on your record. Upon arrival to Canada, tourists are greeted by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers. They screen tourists to ensure they comply with Canadian immigration law which includes ensuring they are admissible to Canada. Having a criminal record is grounds for a CBSA officer to deem you inadmissible to Canada and prevent you from visiting the country. American citizens should also understand their passport is linked to their FBI background record which CBSA officers have access to.
It is also important to understand Canada wants tourists. As such the Canadian government provides various solutions so you can overcome your criminal record and be able to visit the country. This is due to Canada believing individuals are able to be rehabilitated and certain infractions do not necessarily mean the tourist presents a public safety risk to Canadians.

A Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) is the first solution. It is a temporary solution that you can pursue as long as you make a compelling argument to the Canadian government as to why your criminal record should be excused on a temporary basis. The TRP is usually a better solution for those seeking temporary entry to Canada on business or for compassionate reasons. It is generally advisable for tourists to pursue the second option instead, known as Criminal Rehabilitation.

Immigration helps Nova Scotia’s population surpass 1 million

Nova Scotia saw some of its fastest growth in 2021.

Nova Scotia’s population has breached one million people, which is largely thanks to immigration.
Nova Scotia passed the population milestone following record growth since July 2021. The month before, Canada had lifted travel restriction on approved permanent residents, which had limited immigration since the border closed in March 2020.
“More people make us stronger in every way,” said Nova Scotia’s Premier Tim Houston in a media release. “We all benefit from this growth with a greater tax base, new businesses and jobs, greater diversity and culture and improved infrastructure.”

A provincial government media release says immigration played a large part in the population’s growth. Nova Scotia’s population grew 5,696 in the first quarter of 2021, the largest increase in a first quarter since 1971.
In 2020, most immigrants to Nova Scotia came from India, China, the Philippines, Korea, and the United Kingdom.
The province’s current immigration retention rate is at 71 per cent, the highest out of the Atlantic provinces. These four east-coast provinces have historically seen newcomers come and go in search of jobs or more urban centres.
One of the province’s key priorities is to support economic growth by attracting workers and entrepreneurs. To support this goal, Nova Scotia is preparing to launch a $2.5-million marketing initiative to promote immigration to the government.

Canada to welcome 6,000 caregivers by the end of 2021Immigration minister announces new measure to finalize caregiver applications for permanent residence.

Canada’s immigration department plans to finalize 6,000 caregiver applications for permanent residence by December 31, 2021.

In a statement released on April 15, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) said it will finalize the applications for caregivers who have completed their in-Canada work experience, as well as their immediate family members.

“Immigrant caregivers, who take care of our families and elders, are often separated from their own families, and the pandemic has significantly slowed down permanent residence application processing, keeping them apart from their families longer than we would have hoped,” Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino said in the release. “With today’s announcement, we’re getting caregiver immigration back on track which will help reunite front-line heroes with their loved ones.”

By prioritizing these decisions, IRCC will be able to issue more caregiver work permits for those who have valid job offers to work for families in Canada. The statement also says the pandemic has affected operations at IRCC, particularly for paper-based applications as office closures resulted in more employees working remotely. The number of mail-in applications processed in 2020 was significantly reduced. As a result, IRCC is digitizing the application process so that the department can process the applications it received in 2020 before the end of the year. IRCC says it will ensure caregiver program applicants receive acknowledgement of receipt letters by May 31, 2021.
