26 May 2010: Potential Canadian migrants are being urged to submit their applications for migration
Potential Canadian migrants are being urged to submit their applications for migration within the next few weeks, to avoid being shut out ahead of major immigration changes by the Canadian Government.
The Canadian Government has given itself a deadline of 30 September 2010 to identify changes to the Federal Skilled Worker program. The changes are being implemented to reduce the number of new applications lodged after that date and enable the immigration system to catch up with the backlog of applications.
The government is expected to slash the number of occupations on the shortage list of occupations deemed in great demand and eligible for migration without the requirement of a pre-arranged job offer by a Canadian employer.
The Canadian Government had not yet given any indication which of the 38 occupations currently on the list will be removed on or after 30 September, 2010.
Migrants whose occupation are not on the revised list will no longer be eligible to apply and it may possibly be many years before an opportunity arises again.
The House of Commons Committee has given the Canadian immigration department until 30 September, 2010 to identify their objectives for the new changes and it is expected that the changes may be implemented anytime from that date onwards. With this in mind, to ensure the department has a full three months to determine approval for Stage 1, migrants are being urged to begin the visa application process as soon as possible to ensure their case can be ready in time for submission on 30 June.
The Canadian Skilled Migration Program is a points-based system, with points awarded according to age, education, work experience, and language skills. Applicants aged 20 to 50 are awarded maximum age points, a higher age limit than most other countries. The current pass mark for the Skilled Worker Visa is 67 points
