    Canada lifts visa requirement for visitors from Taiwan

    Tuesday, November 23, 2010



    Here's a good news for Taiwanese who plans to visit Canada.

    Taiwan is the latest addition to list of countries exempted from visa requirements in visiting Canada.

    Canada lifts visa requirement for visitors from Taiwan!

    Effective immediately, travelers with ordinary Taiwan passports issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Taiwan no longer require a Temporary Resident Visa to visit Canada, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today. [Source]

    Will that privilege be given to Filipino citizens anytime soon? Highly unlikely, if not impossible.

    Canada’s visa policy is based on an assessment of a number of established criteria, including immigration violation rates, asylum claims, the integrity of travel documents and the cooperation on removals by the country or territory in question.

    I guess I need not explain why I said it will be impossible. ;-)

    CIO Assessment Notice - Applications filed after June 26, 2010


    Today, we have received the first Centralized Intake Office (CIO) assessment notice for application filed after the June 26, 2010 changes. It is just weird that the notice we received is for an applicant whose application was filed last week of July 2010. We have some clients filed weeks before that.

    Anyway, to give you an idea about the content of the letter, here's a summary


  • Basis of eligiblity (work experience or arranged employment

  • Acknowledgement for your payment

  • Your File No. and information on what happens next: your application will be forwarded to Canadian Visa Office for further processing

  • That you should inform the Visa Office in case of changes in your application (e.g. birth or adoption of a child, marriage or common-law relationship, new occupation or employer, submission of an Arranged Employment Opinion approved by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, change of address, change of e-mail address, change of immigration representative, etc). Please include a letter identifying what the changes are any relevant supporting documents. If your documents are not in English or French, send a notarized (certified) translation with a copy of the originals.

  • Prior to the June 26, 2010 changes, upon receipt of CIO Notice, applicants are being given 12o days to submit supporting documents. It looks like that the instruction on when to submit your original or supporting documents will be coming from the Visa Office this time. Most likely, you will be given only 45 days to comply. You better get your documents ready as early as now.

    Choices are the hinges of destiny

    Monday, November 22, 2010

    Choices are the hinges of destiny
    When we opended our office at Mall of Asia in Pasay City last year, Ms. Rizza Nandwani was one of the first clients who chanced upon our office there, walked-in to inquire and decided right there and then to start with her application. She is a Certified Public Accountant and during that time, Accountants are still included in the priority list. It is currentlt not included in the 29 In-Demand Occupations.

    It took a while before her application was filed to Centralized Intake Office (CIO) because according to her, she wasn't in a hurry. But because we constantly remind her of the possibility of changes in the immigration regulations that may affect her application, her application was fortunately sent to CIO before the June 26, 2010 Ministerial Instruction.

    Shortly after that, she finally got her visa and was one of those who was there at the immigrant's visa party last Saturday.

    If you are eligible under the current regulations, start your application now! Choices are the hinges of destiny.

    Do you need an immigration representative?

    Wednesday, November 17, 2010


    The short answer is NO. You do not need to hire an immigration representative for your immigrant visa application. That is of course based on the premise that you actually know what to do. But remember, small mistakes may cause BIG problems.

    Take this for example.

    I have just read and replied this email today from one of my blog readers.

    I had applied Canada PR application for federal class worker with NOC code 1122. The application was applied on 25 oct but returned today since we had not submitted the family information for the spouse. We did not know if we had to submit that form for spouse as well. What should i do know. I had invested so much of time and effort? should i type an explanation and letter and see if they can accept it even though the quota is over. Please advise. this is very urgent and can be depressing.


    The recourse should have been to complete the forms and send a new application. Unfortunately for this applicant, NOC 1122 have already reached the 1,000 cap. To be eligible, the applicant now needs an arranged employment.

    This is where the advantage of having an immigration representative like Canadian Immigration Consultancy (CIC) comes in.

    With CIC, there are series of checking done before your application is sent to Centralized Intake Office or to Canadian Visa Office. This minimizes, if not totally omit, mistakes such as incomplete forms and wrong information. You will be guided. It may take longer before your application is filed but you can rest assured that your application is complete. CIC does not guarantee approval of your application. But we sure can help you increase chances of your approval.

    So there. Do you need an immigration representative?

    Respect OFWs! | 11-11-10 Blog Action Day

    Tuesday, November 09, 2010

    Respect OFWs!

    Gateway to Canada is supporting Migrante International's Blog Action Day to Uphold, Promote and Respect the Rights of All OFWs!

    Overseas Filipino Workers contribute to Philippine economy through dollar remittances. According to this report, remittances from OFWs last May reached a record high of $1.578 billion. And according to Dr. Bernardo M. Villegas, it would be difficult for the Philippines to sustain the annual GDP growth of 7 percent without OFW remittances!

    Working abroad away from one's family if difficult. It takes a lot of sacrifice. And aside from being maltreated by some employers abroad, they are also victims of maltreatment by our very own government.

    OFW Agnes Tenorio simply wanted the Philippine Consulate General in Hong Kong to assist her. Instead, she received a verbal beating from its Labor Attache Romulo Salud. She got to record the exchange.

    Agnes is one of the many OFWs who have experienced such maltreatment from the Philippine government’s representatives abroad. We had OFWs filing cases of overcharging against recruitment agencies only to be called “tanga” or stupid by a high-ranking government official. We had rape victims in the Middle East who were made to wait for the Philippine embassy’s Christmas party to finish. We had a deceased OFW’s body being refused to be repatriated back home simply because the deceased was not a member of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA). [Source]

    This needs to be stopped! Speak up! Join 11-11-10 Blog Action Day!

    Respect OFWs!

    Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will now only accept applications for NOC 1122 if with Arranged Employment


    Here's an updated on NOC 1122 as November 5, 2010.

    NOC 1122 cap reached

    Noticed the '(Cap Reached)**'? That wasn't there few days ago. Check my NOC 1122 update as of Nov 1, 2010 for the screen shot.

    Here's what the double asterisk means:

    **Once the cap has been reached, we can only accept applications for this occupation from people with an existing offer of arranged employment. [Source]

    With that, it's now official. Applicants for NOC 1122 will no longer be accepted unless you have an Arranged Employment.

    If your occupation is classified under NOC 1122 and you still want to pursue your dream to live and work in Canada, start looking for NOC 1122 job vacancies in Canada and send your resume. Make sure you prepare a Canada resume format.

    Here's a list of Canada Jobs Portal where you may find job vacancies for NOC 1122.

    TEF in the Philippines

    Language proficiency is once of 6 selection criteria in Canada's points system for Federal Skilled Worker progam. It is composed of parts - English and French.

    For English language, you need to take IELTS Exam. To get the maximum of 16 points for English language, you need to get a minimum scors of 7.5 for listening and 6.5 for reading, writing and speaking.

    For French language, you can get a maximum of 8 points. To get that, you need to take the Test d’évaluation de français (TEF) or French language evaluattion test.

    For information on how take the TEF in the Philippines:

    Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.


    Decision

    Because of the news that NOC 1122 have already reached the 1,000 cap, I have been receiving lots of email telling me that they were sad and find the news depressing. Most of them say that they were just waiting for IETS Exam. Some are waiting for feedback from friends in Canada and some others blame it to financial concerns.

    These were the same reactions I received when the 2nd Ministerial Instruction were issued, wherein Accountants who used to be included in the priority list were no longer included in the 29 In Demand Occupations. Those Accountants who weren't able to file felt the same way.

    What can I say?

    Sometimes it's really the smallest decisions that can change your life forever. Immigrating to Canada is not just a matter of making a decision. It is about making a a timely decision that requires serious commitment. Thus, only serious minded applicants can successfully pull it off.

    I don't mean to rub it in and make you feel sorry. But you see, I keep repeating on this blog the importance of making a decision.

  • Immigration rules change, you have to make a timely decision

  • Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.

  • It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

  • Dreaming for a better quality of life? Decide now and make a commitment to that decision!

  • The list has been there since June 2010 - five months ago! What took it you so long?

    If you are serious about immigrating to Canada and you still want to live and work in Canada, you shouldn't lose hope. There are other programs to immigrate to Canada depending on your circusmtances. There's Provincial Nominee Program, Arranged Employment and Canadian Experience Class. Most of these programs require a job offer. Here's how to find jobs in Canada. And bear in mind that Canada's door to immigration is still wide open and that your occupation may still be included again in the next Ministerial Instruction. You better be ready when your occupations opens up again. Don't say you were never warned.

    And now for those whose occupations are still open.

    What are you waiting for? Start the application NOW. Don't wait until you get the IELTS Exam Score before you visit our office to start the process. Let's get your documents ready while you are preparing for the IELTS Exam. By doing so, we will be able to file your application as soon as you get the IELTS Exam Results.

    But what if I did not reach the required pass mark due to poor IELTS Scores?

    That's understandable. But you need to ask yourself, if you failed the IELTS exam, are you going to take the exam again?

    If your answer is NO, then forget about seeing us. That would only mean you are not serious about this golden opportunity. And we only deal with serious minded applicants.

    If your answer is YES, then that means you don't easily give up and will do everything in your power to give your family a better quality of life by immigrating to Canada. If passing the IELTS Exam is the only thing that it takes to do that, I think it is not too much of a sacrifice even if it means taking it again and again. It may cost you money, yes, but think about the rewards of living and working in Canada. Can you think of an investment with that amount that will give at least one half of the benefits you will get as a permanent resident in Canada?

    Did I hear you said Lottery? ;-)

    But do you have a better chance in winning the lottery than passing the IELTS exam? Come on! LOL

    So there. If you think you are serious about this opportunity, come and see us. Attend one of our Live and Work in Canada Informationl Seminars.

    Update on Applications received by Centralized Intake Office | NOC 1122 reached the 1,000 cap!

    Friday, November 05, 2010


    UPDATE - Nov 8, 2010: NOC 1122 applications without arranged employment will no longer be accepted.

    NOC 1122

    I have just checked Citizenship and Immigration Canada website for updated on the total number of complete FSW applications received since June 26, 2010 and I was surprized with what I have seen. NOC 1122 Professional Occupations in Business Services to now have reached 1,000 cap as of Nov 1, 2010! Few days ago, I posted something like Less than 100 spots remain for skilled worker NOC 1122.

    But something is not right here. Yesterday, from the same website, there's only 940 and the report was as of Nov 2, 2010. And now the report as of Nov 1, 2010 is already 1,000? Too bad I do not have a screen shot.

    The only explanation there is that the number of complete Federal Skilled Worker applications received as reported is just an approximate. NOT ACTUAL.

    If Citizenship and Immigration Canada will base the cap on the applications received and not based on the positive assessments, that will be sad. I suspect that most of those who applied under NOC 1122 are not really eligible. And if that is the case, many NOC 1122 applicants will receive a negative assessment.

    I reapply hope they reconsider it, at least for NOC 1122.

    Now, what if your job classification is NOC 1122 and you haven't sent your application to Centralized Intake Office yet?

    My suggestion is to send it just the same. Remember that the numbers indicated in the report is just approximate. And who knows, they may based the cap on the postive assessments and not based on applications received?

    If your application did not make it to the cap, the worst scenario is that your application will be returned unprocessed. The processing fee will be refunded in full. The only expense you will incur is the courier charges which is very minimal.

    17,000 slots still available for Federal Skilled Worker applicants!

    Wednesday, November 03, 2010


    If you are interested to live and work in Canada, it is never too late start your application now.

    Canada Visa

    Between June 26, 2010, and June 30, 2011, a maximum of 20,000 complete Federal Skilled Worker applications will be considered for processing. Within the 20,000 cap, a maximum of 1,000 Federal Skilled Worker applications per eligible occupation will be considered for processing within this same time frame.

    As of October 29, 2010, a total of 2,988 complete Federal Skilled Worker applications (without Arranged Employment) was received by Centralized Intake Office (CIO). That only means some 17,000 slots is still available for Federal Skilled Worker applicants!

    But always remember that the quota may be filled sooner than we expect. If you are seriously considering this opportunity, you should start your application NOW! People never plan to fail. They just fail to plan.

    Now, do you really want to give your family a better quality of life by immigrating to Canada? Do you have the courage and determination to make such decision?

    If you answer yes, then here's a plan you may want to consider.

    1. Take the free online assessment if you want to find out if you are eligible.

    2. We can discuss the process via email but if you want, attend one of our seminar schedules. We can also set a one-on-one orientation.

    3. Decide. Start your application and make a commitment to your decision. It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

    4. Processing of Federal Skilled Worker program only takes about 6-12 months. That means immigrant visa for you and your family in less than a year!

    5. As a permanent resident in Canada, you can legally apply for any work that you may qualify to. You and your family will be entitled to various social benefits like health care, free education, monthly allowance for your kids, great income opportunities, retirement pay and more. Simply put, you will have a secured future, a better quality of life!

    You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by. ~James Matthew Barrie

    If you think this is a good plan, let's get this started!

    Tuesday, November 02, 2010


    Immigrant Visa Party

    Because of so many crooked consultants here and abroad, many applicants are doubtful by default when in comes to dealing with immigration consultants.

And as such, we have already sent thousands of Filipino workers to Canada. We have the track record to speak of. In fact, we are conducting immigrant visa party every month!

    Less than 100 spots remain for skilled worker NOC 1122 (Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management)

    Monday, November 01, 2010




    I was in a bus going back to Manila when I read this twit from Citizenship and Immigration Canada about NOC 1122 having only less than 100 spots left for Federal Skilled Worker applications.

    I was like, WHAT?! I mean that could mean the 20,000 quoata may already have been met!

    But when I read the article, it turned out that only 2,988 total complete FSW applications received since June 26, 2010 as of October 29, 2010

    Looking at the breakdown, there were 900 applications received for NOC 1122 Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management and surprisingly, ONLY 405 applications received for nurses!

    I really can't believe those numbers. Would you think that there are more advertising specialist and ISO/Management Consultants combined than registered nurses? I don't think so.

    But why did that happened?

    In my experience, there are many applicants who really want to apply for that job classification but I discourage them because they are not really eligible. An office administrator do not belong to that job classification. Administraive supervisors do not belong to NOC 1122 Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management. The same thing is true for Systems Analysts and Informationation Systems Manager.

    My theory is that most of those who applied for NOC 1122 Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management - those 900 applications - were not really eligible for that job classification. There is a great chance that most of these applications will receive a negative assessment from Centralized Intake Office (CIO).

    Now if you are applying for NOC 1122 Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management, you should get your application filed soon. Apparently, the basis of 20,000 quoata is the applications received and not those assessed to be eligible for processing.

    If Citizenship and Immigration Canada wants to get the desired numbers, it should based the quoate on CIO's positive assessments and not applications received. I hope they reconsider it.

    I keep on reminding you that only a maximum of 20,000 complete Federal Skilled Worker applications will be considered for processing between June 26, 2010, and June 30, 2011. And that within the 20,000 cap, a maximum of 1,000 Federal Skilled Worker applications per eligible occupation will be considered for processing within this same period.

    Because of that, one of the common question I receive from applicants is that how would they know that their occupation is not yet closed. That is there some sort of online reference being updated daily. My answer was of course was there's none. We would only if the cap or quota is already filled only when Centralized Intake Office released a statement.

    They have just did. As of October 29, 2010, a total of 2,988 complete Federal Skilled Worker applications (without Arranged Employment) was received by CIO. Below is the breakdown:
