New instructions for Canadian immigration Federal Skilled Worker applications
IT IS FAST
On November 28, 2008, Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism Canada Minister Jason Kenney announced the new instructions for the processing of all Federal Skilled Worker applications received since February 27, 2008.
The Action Plan for Faster Immigration seeks to shrink immigration application processing times to 6 to 12 months.
The list of 38 qualifying occupations was compiled based on consultations with provincial and territorial business and labour stakeholders. They have been identified as the most in-demand occupations in Canada.
Under the new regulations, Federal Skilled Worker applicants will need to satisfy one of the following criteria in addition to the current points system in order to qualify:
- They must have at least one year of continuous full-time or equivalent paid work experience in the last 10 years in one of 38 qualifying occupations that are in high demand in Canada; OR
- They must have an offer of Arranged Employment in Canada; OR
- They must have been legally residing in Canada for at least one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student.
The list of 38 qualifying occupations was compiled based on consultations with provincial and territorial business and labour stakeholders. They have been identified as the most in-demand occupations in Canada.
Those Federal Skilled Worker applicants (submitted on or after February 27, 2008) do not have experience in a listed occupation, will have their applications returned and their processing fees refunded (unless the Minister has otherwise instructed that applications be retained). Federal Skilled Worker applications submitted before February 27, 2008 will be processed based on previous assessment criteria and processing times.
The changes to the Federal Skilled Worker category will not affect any other classes of Canadian immigration.
For those applicants who have their files returned, there are several other categories under which they may qualify for Canadian immigration. The Provincial Nomination Programs (PNP) for one, is an attractive fast-track option.
Federal Skilled Worker applicants who do not meet these requirements will have their applications returned with a full refund of government processing fees. The new regulations are retroactive to applications that were received on or after February 27, 2008.
