Both London and Sudbury offer a reasonable cost of living compared to some of Canada's larger metropolitan areas like Toronto or Vancouver.<br /><br /><u><i>London, Ontario</i></u>: London boasts a relatively affordable cost of living compared to major cities. Housing costs, including rent and mortgages, are more budget-friendly. The city also offers a wide range of housing options, from apartments to single-family homes, catering to diverse preferences and budgets.<br /><br /><u><i>Sudbury, Ontario</i></u>: Sudbury, on the other hand, is known for its exceptionally affordable living costs. Housing expenses are significantly lower than the national average, making it an attractive destination for families and individuals alike. Sudbury offers a variety of housing options, including apartments, townhouses, and detached homes.<br /><br /><b>Employment Opportunities</b><br /><br />Both London and Sudbury are home to thriving job markets and a diverse range of industries.

The mining sector, including nickel and copper mining, plays a significant role in the local job market. Sudbury also has a growing healthcare sector and educational institutions, contributing to job opportunities in these fields. Sudbury is home to <b>Cambrian College</b> which is now becoming a popular destination for International Students.<br /><br /><b>Immigration Pathways</b><br /><br />If you're considering moving to London or Sudbury, there are several immigration pathways you can explore aside from the Express Entry System:<br /><br /><u><i>Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP)</i></u>: Sudbury is part of the RNIP, which aims to attract skilled immigrants to rural and northern communities in Canada. This program allows eligible candidates to obtain permanent residency by meeting specific criteria set by the community they intend to settle in. The RNIP is an excellent option for those seeking a long-term commitment to either city.<br /><br /><u><i>Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)</i></u>: The OINP offers various streams for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international students. Through this program, you may receive a nomination from the province of Ontario, which can expedite your Canadian immigration process. The OINP stream that suits your profile will depend on your qualifications and intended location in the province.<br /><br /><b>Conclusion</b><br /><br />London and Sudbury, Ontario, offer appealing opportunities for individuals looking to live and work in Canada. With reasonable costs of living, diverse employment prospects, and immigration pathways such as the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot and the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program, these cities are becoming increasingly attractive to newcomers.

The dreams of pursuing education, work, or a better life can hinge on the approval of a single visa application. Unfortunately, not all applications are met with a positive response. Visa refusals can be devastating, but there's a glimmer of hope in the form of experienced immigration consultants who specialize in crafting strong legal arguments based on case law.

While these claims might sound appealing, they often prove to be nothing more than empty words.

No agency or consultant can genuinely guarantee an approval, as the decision ultimately rests with the immigration authorities.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><strong style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-bold);"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Role of Case Law and Legal Argument</span></strong></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Visa application refusals can be attributed to a range of factors, from incomplete documentation to concerns about the applicant's eligibility. However, every refusal provides an opportunity to learn and improve. This is where expertise in case law and legal argument becomes indispensable.

Through the expertise of experienced immigration consultants like Gateway to Canada, applicants have a fighting chance to turn refusals into approvals. The practice of building strong legal arguments based on case law demonstrates the profound impact that legal knowledge and skill can have on the outcome of a visa application. While guaranteed approvals remain a false promise, the certainty of skilled representation and decades of experience can be the lifeline that applicants need to overcome obstacles and achieve their aspirations.</span></p>

Choosing the right path after high school can significantly impact their career and opportunities. One option that stands out as a smarter and more cost-effective route is sending your child to study in Canada for a 2-year diploma. By doing so, they can avoid the need to study again in Canada for permanent residence purposes and open doors to an array of benefits, including sponsoring their loved ones, like you, for permanent residency.

These diploma programs offer specialized training and hands-on experience, making graduates job-ready in a shorter timeframe. Not only does it save time, but it is also a more cost-effective option, helping your child build practical skills that align with industry demands.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Seizing Work Opportunities and Permanent Residence</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Upon completing the 2-year diploma, your child can avail the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) in Canada. This work permit allows them to gain valuable work experience while exploring diverse career opportunities. As they contribute to the Canadian workforce, they become eligible for various immigration pathways, such as the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The PGWP and these immigration programs pave the way for permanent residency without the need to study again as an International Student.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Pursuing a Bachelor's Degree at a Lower Cost</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once your child attains permanent residence status, they have the freedom to make well-informed decisions about their future education. At this point, they can opt to pursue a bachelor's degree in Canada at a significantly lower cost as a permanent resident. By choosing this pathway, they can focus on their academic aspirations without worrying about the expenses and complexities of being an International Student.</div></span></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Family Reunification: Sponsoring Loved Ones</span></b></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps one of the most heartwarming benefits of obtaining permanent residence is the ability to sponsor family members, including parents, for permanent residency in Canada. As a parent, this means you could have the opportunity to join your child in this beautiful country, reuniting with them and experiencing the Canadian dream together as a family.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Conclusion</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sending your child to study in Canada for a 2-year diploma is not only a smart educational decision but also a strategic move towards a promising future for your entire family. By avoiding the need to study again for permanent residence purposes, your child can focus on building a rewarding career and pursuing their passions in Canada. The opportunity to sponsor you as a permanent resident further strengthens the bond between you and your child, ensuring that you can share in their journey and embrace a life of opportunities together in Canada. Embrace this smarter path, and unlock the doors to the Canadian dream for your child and your family!</div></span></div></div>Apolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02295016945179435797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12836048.post-24959400506554041852023-06-29T06:42:00.029+08:002023-06-29T06:42:00.133+08:00Study in Canada Info Session in Alabang | July 22, 20223<span style="font-size: large;">In collaboration with our highly recommended partner schools in Canada, we're conducting a <b>Free Info Session</b> about student visa pathway to permanent residence in Canada.

<!--google_ad_section_start-->
If you have a valid work permit issued on or before June 7, 2023, you may be allowed to study in Canada even without a study permit until June 27, 2026. This will benefit those seeking academic upgrading either to meet the minimum requirement in education factor for permanent residence application or for career advancement. </span><br />

While they play an important role in Canada’s prosperity, foreign workers sometimes face barriers in the types of study programs in which they can enrol to pursue their dreams and create new opportunities.<br /><br />Today, the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced a new temporary measure that removes the limit on the length of the study programs that temporary foreign workers can enrol in without a study permit.<br /><br />Starting immediately, foreign workers will have the opportunity to seek additional training and education that can help them in their careers. This measure will also help foreign workers expand their future job prospects and increase their opportunities to transition to permanent residence. Prior to this change, foreign workers could study while working, but only in programs of 6 months or less. For longer programs, they had to apply for a separate study permit. This has been a barrier for those who wish to improve their education and receive more training, including those needing to upskill or validate their foreign credentials through certain programs.<br /><br />With this new 3-year temporary measure, foreign workers can study full time or part time while their work permits are valid or until the expiration of the policy, with no restrictions on the length of the program.<br /><br />This temporary measure applies to those who hold a valid work permit or who have submitted an application to renew their work permit on or before June 7, 2023, and are authorized to work. If a foreign worker wishes to study longer than the duration of their work permit, they still need to apply for a study permit.</blockquote><p>Source: <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2023/06/new-measure-to-benefit-foreign-workers-looking-to-improve-their-skills.html">www.canada.ca</a> </p><p><b>Some pointers if planning to apply for permanent residence</b>:</p></span><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: large;">If you’re a worker who is studying full time, your work experience won't count toward eligibility for the Canadian Experience Class.

The PGWP Program allows international graduates to obtain an open work permit to gain valuable Canadian work experience.<br /><br />Starting April 6, 2023, these measures will allow PGWP holders who wish to stay longer to opt in to a facilitative process to extend their work permit and will allow Canada to retain high-skilled talent.<br /><br />Foreign nationals whose PGWP has already expired in 2023 and those who were eligible for the 2022 PGWP facilitative measure will also have the opportunity to apply for an additional 18-month work permit. Those with expired work permits will be able to restore their status, even if they are beyond the 90-day restoration period, and will receive an interim work authorization while awaiting processing of their new work permit application.<br /><br />Talented and skilled international graduates play a vital role in addressing Canada’s labour shortage, and those nearing the end of their PGWP are already well integrated into Canada’s labour market. The additional work permit will allow eligible applicants to continue contributing to the Canadian economy while gaining valuable work experience and preparing for the opportunity to apply for permanent residence.</blockquote><p>Source: <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2023/03/canada-announces-extension-of-post-graduation-work-permits-for-up-to-18-months-to-retain-high-skilled-talent.html">www.canada.ca</a></p></span>

Visitors applying under this public policy who held a work permit within the last 12 months will also continue to be able to request interim work authorization to begin working for their new employer more quickly. Set to expire today, this COVID-era temporary public policy has been extended by 2 years, until February 28, 2025. Leaving this temporary policy in place makes visitors an option for employers in Canada, as many are facing significant labour shortages during this period of economic expansion.<br /><br />Prior to this temporary policy change, those applying to work in Canada would typically need to apply for their initial work permit before they came to Canada. If they were already in Canada with visitor status when they were approved for a work permit, they would need to leave Canada to be issued their work permit. With this policy in place, leaving Canada isn’t necessary.<br /><br />To be eligible to apply, an applicant looking to benefit from this temporary public policy must</span></span><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">have valid status in Canada as a visitor on the day they apply</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">have a job offer that is supported by a labour market impact assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA-exempt offer of employment</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">submit an application for an employer-specific work permit no later than February 28, 2025</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">meet all other standard admissibility criteria</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span><br />Applicants who currently have visitor status but who have held a valid work permit in the past 12 months can follow special instructions to get interim work authorization to start working for their new employer before their work permit application is finalized.</span>

In recognizing their immense sacrifices, Canada has offered pathways to permanent residence in return.<br /><br />On behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, members of Parliament Salma Zahid and Rechie Valdez today announced that the amount of work experience in Canada required for a caregiver to qualify for permanent residence is being reduced from 24 months to 12 months. In addition, some spaces under the existing caregiver pathways have been reserved for caregivers who already have work experience in Canada from a previous work permit so that they are able to apply for permanent residence. The change will be effective as of April 30, 2023, and will be retrospective for caregivers who have already applied.<br /><br />As a result, caregivers and their families will benefit from a faster path to permanent residence and successful settlement in Canada. By reducing the amount of work experience required in Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) also intends to improve processing and applications. This update is expected to benefit around 90% of applications currently in processing, an advantage for both the caregivers who are just starting out and those who have been providing care in Canada already.<br /><br />As we approach the end date of the existing caregiver programs, we will continue to make any necessary changes to show our appreciation to the caregivers who help reduce some of the stress in the lives of Canadian families in need. Work is underway on the future of caregiver programming to plan for what comes next after the pilots conclude in June 2024.</span>

The Government of Canada is continuing to take concrete actions to address current labour needs.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 11.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today announced the temporary lifting of the 20-hour-per-week cap on the number of hours that eligible post-secondary students are allowed to work off-campus while class is in session.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 11.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">From November 15, 2022, until December 31, 2023, international students who are in Canada and who have off-campus work authorization on their study permit will not be restricted by the 20-hour-per-week rule. Foreign nationals who have already submitted a study permit application, as of today, will also be able to benefit from this temporary change, provided their application is approved.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 11.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This measure will provide many international students with a greater opportunity to gain valuable work experience in Canada, and will increase the availability of workers to sustain Canada’s post-pandemic growth. With more than 500,000 international students already in Canada available to potentially work additional hours, this temporary change reflects the important role international students can play in addressing our labour shortage, while continuing to pursue their studies. Study permit holders are still expected to balance their study and work commitments, as those who stop studying or reduce course loads to only study part-time are not eligible to work off-campus.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 11.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This month, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is also launching a pilot project to automate the processing of study permit extensions. The types of applications being included in this pilot have a consistently high approval rate, as all applicants have previously been approved to study in Canada. The pilot will involve a small group of applicants who could see their extended study permit processed much faster, with the goal of improving client service. Should the pilot be successful, it will be expanded in order to help reduce processing times and allow officers to focus on more complex applications.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 11.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Today’s announcement is part of a series of initiatives that aim to benefit international students and graduates, while supporting Canada’s broader efforts to improve client service and application processing times.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 11.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Other measures recently launched to benefit international students and recent graduates include:</span></p><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 11.5px; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">a transition period for those studying online from abroad </span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">an opportunity for those with expired or expiring post-graduation work permits to get an additional 18-month open work permit.</span></li></ul><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 11.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With unprecedented interest in Canada from applicants around the world, IRCC continues to set the bar higher for immigration processing. Ongoing efforts and client service improvements by the department aim to strengthen Canada’s immigration system, shorten wait times, reduce application backlogs and improve the experience of clients overall.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 11.5px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Source: </span><a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2022/10/international-students-to-help-address-canadas-labour-shortage.html">https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2022/10/international-students-to-help-address-canadas-labour-shortage.html</a></p></div></div></div></div>

But with the right planning and decision, it is the easiest pathway to get a PR status. This recorded webinar (September 24, 2022) aims to provide information for International Students in Ontario in order for them to make an informed decision.</span></span><br />
