Breaking News - Priority Occuaption List amended



June 26, 2010, government of Canada has amended its priority occupation list for Skilled Workers reducing it to 29 occupation from 38 and eliminating professions such as Financial Managers, Computer and Information Systems Managers, Accountants, Auditors, Lecturers, Vocational Trainers, Professors, Health Managers etc. The new occupations that made their way to the list are Architects, Pharmacists, Social Workers, Primary Production Managers (Except Agriculture), Professional Occupations in Business Services to Management, Insurance Adjusters and Claims Examiners, Biologists and Related Scientists, Dentists, Dental Hygienists & Dental Therapists and Psychologists. The professions that remain unchanged include Restaurant and Food Service Managers, Specialist Physicians, General Practitioners and Family Physicians, Physiotherapists, Registered Nurses, Medical Radiation Technologists, Chefs, Cooks, Contractors and Supervisors, Carpentry Trades, Contractors and Supervisors, Mechanic Trades, Electricians (Except Industrial & Power System), Industrial Electricians, Plumbers, Welders & Related Machine Operators, Heavy-Duty Equipment Mechanics, Crane Operators, Drillers & Blasters - Surface Mining, Quarrying & Construction and Supervisors, Oil and Gas Drilling and Service.

Important to note is that there is a cap of 1000 visas introduced for each profession per year. As such, the government would stop accepting applications in a particular profession if it reaches its target of 1000 visa in that profession. Since there are on average 3 people in a family, we are looking at 300 to 330 visas in each profession per year. This would result in a fierce competition between applicants and hence the need of submitting a complete application without any errors to ensure that it is placed in the processing queue right away rather than being returned causing the delays in resubmission and a possible denial due to the quota exhausted by that time.

Post Graduate Work Permit is #1 Work Permit in Canada

The Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) is now the number one work permit in Canada.  It may be obtained after graduating from a Canadian institute and may be valid anywhere between eight months and up to three years depending on the length of study program.  Graduating students who gain one year work experience while holding PGWP may qualify for permanent residence under Canada Experience Class.  In 2019, nearly 200,000 former international students held a PGWP, and around 60,000 former students obtain Canadian permanent residence each year.  PGWP requires students to complete their program of study in Canada. However, under the new policy students who are unable to physically come to Canada by the end of 2020, can begin their studies at a Canadian institution from the comfort of their own home and then travel to Canada to finish their program here.  This will not affect their eligibility to qualify for the PGWP at a later stage even if they took 50% of their prog...
