Canada FAQ

Educational assessment(EA) is when the government wants to know what quality of your education is. So, it decides to check the quality of your certificates which is done through world education services(WES). This process of educational assessment is extremely compulsory when you have taken degrees not from Canada but from other countries. IRCC has mandated the process for such candidates. Pharmacists and physicians are also required to undergo this assessment for immigration here. The world education services greatly assist you in getting this assessment. This kind of assessment is only recognized for the permanent residency visa but also is required for the study permits as well. The WES does its educational assessments and provides a grade point average which is similar to your percentage of an Indian degree. So, this translates your degree to a grade point average equivalent. WES also lets you know what the honesty of the educational documents is. A candidate gets his evaluation report from WES quite quickly in a week after his university applies for the same and sends his transcripts. The candidate just has to bear the charges and everything is done because the documents are sent back to him by WES after verification.

Yes, there is fund required for the visa of Canada. These funds are important because otherwise, the approval for the Canada immigration process becomes tough. The funds are required respectively under the Federal Skilled Trades and the federal skilled worker both of which are a part of the express entry program. In fact, showing such money is a mandatory part of getting qualified under these streams. The need for the funds increases once more family members are going to gain permanent residency with you in the country of Canada. The other conditions where no such funds are needed is in those situations where you already have employment ready for you in this country. There are more than 4 members you can have with you on a PR in this country. You will be glad to know that for one member, you need only 12,474 CAD funds as the required proof. So, there are many ways to show these funds. They can be present in the joint account of you hold with your spouse.

The next step is to wait, for the passing of one year since the express entry profile got created. It’s because once the profile has been created, it can be in the pool for one year. The candidate can wait for the scores to go down and wait for his profile to get shortlisted. After one year, it’s relevant to get rid of the old profile and create a new one. This has better chances of getting shortlisted because during the duration of one year, your experience increases. This increased experience increases the possibility of you getting the approval under the federal skilled worker program. There are also chances that your profile gets taken up by any state from the pool as per the rules of its respective PNP. PNP is a valuable way to immigrate, provided you have the required professional qualifications to get such state sponsorship. With the eligible credentials, the client can go to Canada quite easily. It is quite simple to get this visa because the federal skilled worker program just looks at the experience of a candidate, so its no harm to let your application stay in the pool, even if it does not get shortlisted. But after one year has elapsed, please make a second profile because your first profile gets elapsed.

The PNP is a great program to get you to Canada. The PNP programs of different provinces need different requirements from the client. The candidate needs to get job offers in some state to get the state sponsorship. So, when he gets the job, his salary will be as per the ongoing salary standards of that state. For example, the province of Saskatchewan requires someone to already have gotten future employment in this province as per the immigration program of the International skilled worker-employment offer. His employment should be in an occupation which is skilled. Apart from that, the score in the IELTS exam can be low but not less than CLB4. So, the salary package which you should be getting for this job offer should be as per the rules and regulations of this province. The province also needs someone to have the license once the employment pertains to a trade. Even if the employer is getting you on a job offer, he is required to get the labor market impact assessment(LMIA) done for you. However, he needs to conform to certain obligations to get you there: He should have to provide you with a contract of service. His wage standards should not be less than those in Canada for the same job and this he proves in the LMIA. So, there is no way he can offer you a lesser salary.

There are no hidden charges which have to be paid to a consultancy. The consultancy informs you about everything as to how much you have the competence to go abroad. Without the competence, the candidate cant get to be in Canada. without the competence, a candidate will have to stay outside because his immigration won’t be approved. At Nile Migration, all kinds of charges are told to you including your IELTS fees and fees for the Educational assessment which is mandatory. Rest there are fees for filing the visa which is equivalent to 550 CAD. There is no way a candidate has to pay more than these fees. There are other fees which are required once you are fortunate enough to get the ITA. This fees equals 490 CAD and is known as the Right of permanent residency fee. There is a fee for the medical exam(250 CAD) also which are levied once the candidate has become an ITA recipient. A client’s visa application fee increase once his kids are also ready to get Australia PR. For every kid he gets along with him, he has to pay an extra sum of 3,435 AUD. A credit card surcharge fees of 1.08% is also levied on this amount.

The exam of IELTS requires the candidates to get entirely 6 in the bands. However, his score can be higher once the candidate is not of the right age. In case, a candidate cant get the score acceptable for immigration, he can opt for this exam again after 1 month. This score is also less once you have a job offer in the province of Saskatchewan which requires only 4.0 in bands of speaking and writing and the score of 4.5 in listening and even lesser 3.5 in reading. This is quite attainable, but for that its mandatory to get a job offer in Saskatchewan. There are 4 segments in IELTS about which everyone is, aware. The longest segment is reading which requires the candidates 1 hour for completion. It has 40 questions in it. The next long section is listening (40 minutes) which includes 40 questions. The section of speaking takes a candidate 11-14 minutes in completion. There is some preparation required for the IELTS test to get ahead in this exam and get the required band score. The IELTS score is also required mandatorily for the university admissions in foreign countries. Sometimes, universities also require a threshold band in a certain IELTS segment. How much points do we need to score for this Canada PR visa. A PR visa for Canada requires the candidates to get 6 in all the exam’s sections. However, the score also differs if the candidate has applied for a PNPs. Its because the PNPs choose candidates based on their specific requirements for different occupations. One of such provinces is Saskatchewan which also does not need CLB 5 score if you want to immigrate under certain streams which include a job offer in this province. So, you don’t need to bother yourself about getting CLB 7 in IELTS in this province.

There are approximately 12 million people living in the U.S without legal status, a situation that is unsettling and exposes foreigners to abuse and a life without certainty. Canada is an attractive alternative because Canadian employers value North American work experience and life in Canada is not significantly different from life in the U.S. Most people assume that their illegal status in the US is grounds for automatic disqualification but this is not the case. Each year thousands of individuals without status in the United States find the home they were looking for in Canada.

After you have received the invitation from the, Australian government, some time elapses before you receive the PR. The letter of invitation from the government is important for someone to have this visa. You need a time period of 2-3 months after getting the invitation and then finally getting the, PR from the government. The invitation is only sent to those, whose Expression Of Interest is given a consent by the government. This consent is required by one of the state governments in case of the 189 visa. The invitation is only applicable once its accepted within 2 months. So, an applicant can apply for his PR within this time period, otherwise his invitation stands cancelled. An applicant can only get his invitation cancelled twice, after two of such cancellations; the EOI is taken off from the Skillselect database. However, the relaxation for the applicant is that he can make the PR application either from within Australia or from his home country.

No, your parents are not eligible to get the PR visa with you. They can be called by you to Australia, once you have secured the PR visa for yourself. As per this visa, it’s important that you extend the sponsorship to your parents as per the Parent Category Visas. So, if you have the PR or citizenship of this country, there’s nothing tough for you. You ought to have the residence of this country for 2 years to act as a sponsor. For this visa to be applicable to your parents, it’s important that they have the “Balance of Family” criteria fulfilled. As per this condition, the parents should have the, higher number of children living in Australia than in any other foreign country or in the native country. For this, the sponsor has to provide a guarantee that they will take care of the financial expenditures of their parents when they get in Australia. This guarantee is important so that the expenditures of parents should not be a financial burden on the government of Australia. This kind of Assurance of Support is a necessity for your parents to get approval for this visa. The Australian government allows a maximum of three people for such kind of support. There are different types of this visa varying where the application for them is made, whether in Australia, or from your native country.

The duration of the Australia PR visa is 5 years after which you have to submit it for renewal. After the duration of the PR visa of this, 5 years is over, you can another visa which will allow you to leave and get into this country again. This second visa is the Resident Return Visa(RRV). This visa is actually needed for the going in and out of the country an indefinite number of times during 5 years without wasting any time. So, this visa is useful for you once your Permanent Residency visa gets over. For you to get the RRV visa, it’s crucial that you have lived in this country for atleast 2 years out of 5 years, when you have the PR visa. Its important for you to get this visa until your PR visa gets renewed and you have the need to travel out of the country. When you are in Australia, it takes a time period of 1 month for the PR visa to get renewed. However, if you have no such plans of getting the PR renewed, you can get the RRV visa for yourself to enjoy the same facilities as a PR visa. You can leave the country on a RRV visa and get back here to Australia without getting any other visa.

Yes, if you did not receive a job offer, before PR. After PR your chances are quite bright to get a job in Australia. This kind of job is available to you when you have the, 189 visa granted to you. The Australian recruiters prefer those kinds of employees who are based in this country. So, when you are in Australia, on the PR visa, you can attend interviews. Apart from that, you also don’t face any delays in getting the job. Also, once you are on a PR visa in this country, everything gets sorted out for you. You get to meet people through whom you can get information about which positions are empty. Such people know about positions about which no advertisement is there on the internet. So, physical relocation to Australia helps when you are not able to get the job in Australia by being in India. Again, when you are in Australia, you have the highest potential of getting a job. First, you can visit the various companies and contact their HRs personally and such meetings can only be fixed when you are in Australia. You can fix several meetings for a single day. This helps you to personally meet company HR and providing them with your resume, rather than providing it online through job portals.

It depends on the points which you require for the Australia PR. Once the candidate already has 60 points, he still needs his/her spouse to appear for the IELTS. However, the score gained by the spouse in the IELTS can be less, if the main applicant’s points are 60 or more. The partner, who is accompanying him or her, must need to prove functional English in that case. The band score for each of the bands should not be less than 4.5. However, when the main applicant has not been able to collect 60 points on his own, then his partner has to score a good score in the IELTS level exam. He needs to have as much as 6 points in every band and his occupation should be in the nominated occupation list which includes yours. That’s when you can get 5 points for the IELTS score of your partner, provided his score is not less than 6 in any of the IELTS bands.

The last age for which a candidate can get the Australia PR is the age of 44. The candidate does not get points if he is older than 44. It’s because this is the last age at which he is eligible to receive 15 points. After this age, no points are given to him. However, immigration is allowed to you, even when you have not turned 50. However, you have to get the point score of 60 which is required for immigration as per 189 and 190 visas. For you to get the Australia immigration, visa its better for you to take, the IELTS test. This test is required for one to prove the ability to talk in English. Without this ability, you cant be declared eligible to be in this country. So, to prove this ability, you ought to get 6 overall in IELTS. A candidate should have the requisite work experience of 3 years before application for this visa.

Yes, if an employer wishes to hire you, he or she needs to sponsor you for the PR. This visa is only provided to you, once your employer is willing to give you sponsorship. Once the employer sponsorship for this visa has been approved, it’s time for the applicant to put his application for the 186 visa in a time gap of ½ a year. If the employee makes the application for the 186 visa after this time gap, his application meets with a denial. The candidate should not be 45 years of age when he gets such nomination from the employer.

Yes, you can be sponsored by someone while getting the Australia PR visa. This sponsorship can be provided by, a relative through a relative visa to you. The sponsor can be a partner of someone who is the holder of PR from Australia, or himself a PR holder of this country. In case, an employer is ready to sponsor you, who has been into a Labor Agreement with the designated Department Of Home Affairs, you are also likely to get the 186 visa. This visa is applicable to you under the “Labor agreement Entry” stream of the 186 visa. This visa is also applicable under the “Direct entry” stream of the 186 visa, where the employer is not in a labor agreement with the department of home affairs, but can still provide you with the sponsorship for the PR. However, there are many subclasses which are available for the relative visa. As per these subclasses, there are different kinds of categories which exist for the kind of sponsored relatives. For example, the subclass 114 visa applies to a relative, who is alone and is in the pension receiving age. So, if your spouse has deceased in India and your progeny is living in Australia, you are eligible for this visa. The other category of this visa, visa 115 applies to those kinds of sponsored relatives whose only close relatives live in Australia. In case, your spouse is living in Australia and is a PR holder or a citizen of that country, you can get the PR on the basis of 820 and 801 visas. To receive a nomination from the state government, under the 190 visa category, you should have your occupation to be a part of the occupation in demand lists of any one of the states.
