Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP)

The Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP) is the latest addition to Canada's Provincial Nominee Program which aims to address each provinces' labor market needs. This first-ever immigration agreement with Northwest Territories was just signed yesterday, August 5, 2009.

“I am very pleased to announce the very first nominee agreement with the Northwest Territories today,” Minister Kenney said. “This pilot initiative will better extend and strengthen the benefits of immigration for the Northwest Territories and allow it to bring in the immigrants it needs faster. Provincial nominee programs are an important part of our government’s focus on ensuring that our immigration system aligns with labour market needs.[Source]”

Applicants for Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP) can be nominated for permanent residency under one of four program categories:

Skilled Worker

Critical Impact Worker (Service and Hospitality Sector Occupations)

Entrepreneur Business

Self-Employed Business

Considering that Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP) does not include family stream like that of the AINP Family Stream and Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), you may only qualify under the new program if you will find an employer in Northwest Territories willing to sponsor you. Canada Jobs Portal would be of great help in searching for job vacancies in Northwest Territories.

I'll post the details about the Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP) once it becomes available.

Update on Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) Question

I promised you to post an update on Question on Manitoba PNP once I received a reply from Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP). Remember that I told you that I'll be sending them an email? Well, here's the reply I received.

Dear Apol E. Apuntar:

During the period when the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) had eligibility restriction based on occupation (so-called Occupations with Additional Requirements List), in the cases where we received applications in which the principal applicant was ineligible but complete information and documentation was provided for the spouse, we considered the spouse as the principal applicant.

Currently, there is no occupation restriction and applicants in all occupations can apply to MPNP. As a result, switching of principal applicants does not happen except in isolated cases where the choice who to be the principal applicant was based on who has the relative in Manitoba and the applicant was not aware that it does not affect the assessment of the relationship if the applicant or the spouse has a close relative.

Sincerely,

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program

In making a decision who must be the principal applicant under Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), it does not matter who has the relatives or friends in Canada.

Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

If you are not eligible under the Federal Skilled Worker program and can't wait for changes in Canada's high demand occupations, an alternative is the Provincial Nominee Progra.

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) Processing Period

I have a client who filed under Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) - General Stream - last August 2007. The MPNP processing period was longer than what we have expected, but just the same, they finalilly received their MPNP Letter of Approval few days ago.


It took them almost two years to get the MPNP Letter of Approval. The next step is submission of updated application forms and supporting documents. Hopefully it will only take 3 months to get their approval from Canadian Visa Office in Manila. After that, they can then start to live and work in Canada!

AINP Family Stream Pointers

AINP Family Stream is one of the Provincial Nominee Program that you may apply for in case you are not eligible under the new Federal Skilled Worker Class. To avoid delay and hopefully to increase that chances of your approval, here are some pointers.

Sponsor's Proff of Residence in Alberta
The Sponsor must have been residing in Alberta for the past two years to be considered eligible. To establish this, provide supporting documents like mortgage documents or utility bills received by the Sponsor at their Alberta address two years ago.

Minimum Funds Required for Settlement
The funds required for the Candidate to settle in Alberta are in addition to the assets of the Sponsor.

The minimum funds required for the Candidate and their family to settle in Alberta is CAD $10,000 for the Candidate, plus CAD $2,000 for each accompanying dependent. The funds must be in accessible in recognized financial institution, and may be in the name of the Sponsor, the Candidate or the Candidate's Spouse.

For applicants from the Philippines looking recognized Canadian Financial institution, try HSBC.

Language Ability
The Candidate and their Spouse must demonstrate language proficiency in either English or French. They basis for language assessment for English is International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and or Test d'Evaluation de Francais (TEF) for French.

You may submit your application even if you don't have the official assessment result as long as proof of registration (schedule of examination) is included and that the result is sent to AINP Office immediately upon completion.

Sponsorship History
If your Sponsor have previously sponsored and or co-signed an individual under the Citizenship and Immigration Canada - Family Class, you must also provide copy of Permanent Resident Card, Record of Landing (IMM 1000), or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292) of the family member previously sponsored by your Sponsor.

New Federal Skilled Worker Application

Based on the Immigration Minister's instrucitons, you are eligible to apply under Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) category if you have have: (1) an Arranged Employment Opinion (AEO), or (2) you are a foreign national who has been living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, or (3) you are a skilled worker who has at least one year of experience in one or more of the high demand occupations or what is now commonly called Canada's List of 38 Occupations.

If you have a pending permanent resident visa application under the Federal Skilled Worker category, here's how this will affect your application and what actions you may take in order to realize your dream of living and working in Canada.

For applications filed before February 27, 2008
All applications filed before February 27, 2008 shall be processed in the manner existing at the time of their application. Most of those who filed in 2004 already got the result while some others are either asked to update their information or are just waiting for the result.

Just recently, those who filed in 2005 received a confirmation letter from the Visa Office, giving them the chance to withdraw their application if they are no longer interested. If you did not withdraw your application, it is expected that within a year, you will get a notice from the embassy to update your information.

If your occupation is on the list, you have the option to withdraw your application and then reapply. Considering that the Canadian Visa Office in Manila is processing those filed in 2004, you may consider this option if your application is filed in 2007.

While waiting for the next letter from the Visa Office, consider looking for a job offer from Canada. This may result to an expedited process through provincial nominee program or arranged employment opinion. Or enter Canada through a work permit while waiting for your immigrant visa. Here's how to find jobs in Canada.

For application filed after February 27, 2008 that are included in the list
Expect a notice from the Visa Office within 6 to 12 months from now. While waiting for this notice, here's what you may do:

1. Get your documents ready
2. Prepare your settlement funds
3. Prepare yourself for IELTS Examination. Although IELTS is not mandatory, it is to your advantage if you will prepare yourself. The best way to establish your english language proficiency is though your IELTS Score. Get a comprehensive IELTS Review and Test Simulation before taking the exam.

Application filed after February 27, 2008 but is not included in the list

There are two possible scenario here.

A. Your application may still be processed depening on the Immigration Minister's Instruction.

In this case, you just have to wait until your application get processed. While waiting for the next letter from the embassy, consider looking for a job offer from Canada. This may result to expedited process through provincial nominee program or arranged employment opinion. Or enter Canada through a work permit while waiting for your immigrant visa. Here's how to find jobs in Canada.

B. Your application will be returned returned and your processing fee will be refunded.


If your application is returned, it doesn't mean that you will no longer have the chance to live and work in Canada. Here's an excerpt from the Ministerial Instructions-

The list of eligibility criteria outlined in the Action Plan for Faster Immigration's instructions for processing federal skilled worker applications are meant to reflect Canada's labour market needs. The instructions can be adjusted over time as the labour market changes, in consultation with provinces, territories and stakeholders.

If your application is returned, you just have to wait until the list of eligible occupation changes. While at that, get your documents ready. Try to maximime your network in Canada and the Internet to find a job offer.

How to file an application under Federal Skilled Worker Category

Simplified application process will no longer be used. Application forms to be used may be downloaded here. All Federal Skilled Worker class application without an AEO will now be processed at Centralized Intake Office in Sydney Nova Scotia.

The same points system (six selection criteria) will be used in evaluating your application. You may send your resume to aapuntar@go2canada.com for FREE ASSESSMENT if you are interested to apply under Federal Skilled Worker Category.

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is the Provincial Nominee Program with the most options or categories that you may apply for. Most of the program would either require you to have a job offer or a relative. But under MPNP General Stream, your friends may help you get a nomination.

Applicants to the MPNP must be able to clearly demonstrate they are employable in Manitoba and have a strong potential to settle successfully and permanently in this province. If you are a skilled worker and are interested in living and working in Manitoba, you have the best chance of being nominated if:

you have sufficient language ability to begin working soon after arrival

you have settlement supports in Manitoba to assist you upon your arrival

The criteria for each stream is outlined below.

Employer Direct

Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)

Like other Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia also has its own version of Provincial Nominee Program. This is called Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP).

The Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) offers a quicker entry into Canada for qualified workers and experienced entrepreneurs who wish to settle in Nova Scotia and become permanent residents of Canada. Like other Provincial Nominee Program, the NSNP is a two-step application process for permanent resident status in Canada: Apply to the Nova Scotia Nominee Program and then apply to a Citizenship and Immigration Canada visa office once you get your nomination.

NSNP Program Streams:

Skilled Worker Stream - there are specific sectors in Nova Scotia that have many opportunities for skilled immigrants. This stream fast-tracks applicants who have the needed skills and permanent full-time job offers.

Family Business Worker Stream - this helps family-owned businesses to hire close relatives who have skills that couldn't be found in Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

Community Identified Stream - aimed at individuals who are employable, have strong established connections to a Nova Scotia community, and can contribute to the labour market and economy of that specific community.
International Graduate Stream - helps employers hire and retain recent international graduates whose skills may be in limited supply in the province. This stream targets international graduates who have established strong ties to Nova Scotia and intend to live, work, and establish their careers in this province.

For list of requirements and guidelines for each category, visit the Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP) official website.

How to find jobs in Canada

Depending on your circumstances and how much you are willing to help yourself, there are ways more than one that you may do to get a Permanent Resident Visa and or legally work in Canada.

1. Contact your friends or relatives who are now in Canada. Ask them to help you find a job offer by referring you to their respective employers and other contacts. They are in the best position to help you. Or if applicable, they may help you get a PR Visa through Provincial Nominee Program.

2. Maximize the use of internet and email. Look for job vacancies in Canada that match your profile. Send your resume with a good cover letter. (Here's a free Canada resume guide) There are many job posting sites where you can find job vacancies in Canada. But to avoid scammers like that in the case of OMNI Hotel Scam, I suggest you look for job vacancies from Canada Job Bank, which is a government owned website. You may also want to check these Canada Jobs Online Portals that I highly recommend.

3. Once you find an employer who is willing to hire you, that employer needs to submit an application to Human Resource Social Development Canada (HRSDC) to get you a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) report.  Simply put, it's  a validated job offer from an eligible employer. Your employer will then send you the LMIA. There is also a chance that an employer may be willing to sponsor you through Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) or through the Global Talent Stream.

4. If you already have the LMIA, you may now file your application for Temporary Resident Visa - Work Permit or Permanent Resident Visa at the the Visa Office near you. To check which Visa Office may handle your application, click here.

AINP Applicants with Federal Skilled Worker Application Already Siubmitted

It is already given that if the candidate has already submitted an application for permanent residence to CIC, such as a Federal Skilled Worker application, they are still eligible to apply to the AINP Family Stream.

There is one important thing that you must consider before filing an application for AINP Family Stream if you already submitted an application under Federal Skilles Worker permanent resident visa application.

When you filed your Federal Skilled Worker permanent resident visa application, what was the destination you have indicated? If it is not Alberta, that may not be considered favorably by AINP.

It is important to establish and convince AINP that you have the real intention of living and working in Alberta. If you failed to do that, there is a great chance that you will never get your nomination.

If the destination you indicated on your Federal Skilled Worker Application is not Alberta, that wouldn't help establish your intention to really settle in Alberta.

Additional Information on AINP Family Stream

Last week, I sent an email to AINP clarifying the settlement funds requirement for the AINP Family Stream Category. Particularly, I asked if funds deposited in a Philippine Commercial banks may be accepted as proof of funds. I received a reply this morning and I want to share the information I've got.

Funds must be in a Canadian financial institution.

If the candidate has already submitted an application for permanent residence to CIC, such as a Federal Skilled Worker application, they are still eligible to apply to the AINP. The candidate must indicate on their AINP application that they have previously applied to CIC. This will enable the AINP and CIC to coordinate and deal with the applications appropriately.

It will take between 6 - 12 months for the AINP office to process applications submitted under the Family Stream. It will take a further 6 - 18 months for permanent residence applications to be processed by CIC. Please note that these processing times may change without notice.

I'll write another entry on how to open a bank account with a Canadian bank from within the Philippines soon.

Update: July 10, 2008
Here's a couple of links where you may find information on how to open a bank account in Canada from within the Philippines:

HSBC Premier - Philippines
HSBC Canada - Opening an account when you're outside Canada.

AINP Family Stream Settlement Funds Requirement

After the news about Alberta's Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) Family Stream category was released on June 19, 2008, I received a lot of emails from clients and readers inquiring about the program.

One of the common questions I received was about the settlement funds requirement-

The Candidate or their spouse or common-law partner (if applicable) or the sponsor must be able to demonstrate that they have the following accessible funds in a recognized Canadian financial institution:

at least CAD $10,000 for the Candidate

CAD $2,000 for each of the Candidate’s dependents (spouse or common-law partner and children)

Does that mean that you have to open a bank account in Canada? Can a non-resident open an bank account in Canada?

I don't think there are other ways to interpret that specific requirement -that the funds must be in a recognized Canadian financial institution. But just the same, I sent an email to AINP clarifying the matter. I'll update this once I received their reply.

But should that be the case, you can actually open an account with HSBC Bank Canada from another country where there are HSBC operations. Contact HSBC Philippines for information on how to open a bank account in HSBC Canada from within the Philippines.

There might be other Canadian banks here in the Philippines where you may open a bank account if that is really necessary. I think there is a Bank of Nova Scotia branch in Makati, too. My boss used to have an account there.

I'll update this entry as soon as I gathered more information.

Family Stream: Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)

Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) recently introduced another stream for its Provincial Nominee Program. If you have relatives in Alberta, it will now be easier for you to live and work in Canada!

Provincial Nominee Program

Provincial Nominee Program is an alternative program if you are not eligible under the Federal Skilled Worker Program if you want to live and work in Canada. Most provinces in Canada have an agreement with the Government of Canada that allows them to nominate immigrants who wish to settle in that province. If you choose to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee, you must first apply to the province where you wish to settle and complete its provincial nomination process. The province will consider your application based on its immigration needs and your genuine intention to settle there.

Different Provincial Nominee Programs:

Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)
(AINP) Family Stream
Manitoba Provincail Nominee Program
Newfoundland and Labrador
Ontario
Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program
British Columbia
New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program
Nova Scotia
Northwest Territories Nominee Program 
Prince Edward Island
Yukon

I will update this post every time there's a new Provincial Nominee Program signed between a province or territories and Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
