Canada is always in dire need of civil engineers, a fact that will be endorsed by Canadian universities, consulting engineering firms or industry associations. Civil Engineers are currently being considered for processing by the Citizenship and Immigration Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker Program.

Difference between Quebec and Federal Investor Programs

Quebec program has broader consideration for people having managerial experience in a government, governmental organization or multinational concern. As such, the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program may be suitable to individuals with diversified backgrounds, as the Federal isn’t.

Re-opening of the Quebec Investor Program from 1st August 2013

Image
Following the attendance of an important meeting by financial intermediaries with the Quebec Immigration Authorities in Montreal on June 12, 2013, we have learnt that the Quebec Investor Program will re-open from August 1st, 2013. It is reassuring to learn that the investment and net worth amount will remain the same, i.e. $CA800,000 and $CA1.6 million respectively) However, there are chances of application fee being increased to $CA10,000. We have been advised that the Minister will have the right to limit the number of files from any given country and cease accepting files at any given time. We anticipate that the Quebec immigration department will accept around 2,000 files in total. Criteria in a Nutshell -  Do you qualify as an investor? You must: * have a minimum net worth of C$1,600,000 * have 2 years of management experience * make a mandatory investment  of C$800,000            * with the option of financing of up to C$620,000           * of 5 years

Public Notice: Clients of Unauthorized Agents

It has come to our attention that unfortunately few of the unauthorized immigration ghost agents in Pakistan are misguiding and misdirecting individuals who were, in past, dealing with another deceased unauthorized immigration agent (their partners/ex-employers) to our firm to create confusion and to fulfil their malign intent out of professional jealousy and rivalry.
