CANADA IMMIGRATION NEWS AND TIPS

  BOOK A ZOOM CONSULTATION Dear Mrs Powell, I follow you on Facebook and I was hoping to see a post about my situation. Since I haven’t, I am writing to ask a few questions, and hope you will answer my question in  The Gleaner . I am a chartered accountant with three years experience. My husband is 35 years old and I’m 29. My husband and I are interested in living in Canada. He is an accountant as well. We are just wondering if we would qualify seeing that I don’t have a bachelor’s degree, like my husband. I am qualified through ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). Does Canada recognise ACCA? Another issue is that I have two part-time jobs. Not a full-time job. Would that qualify me? I keep hearing that Canada has a backlog of applications. Is now a good time to apply? Please let us know if we have a chance of qualifying, as we would like to live in Canada and start a family there. CB Based on the information you provided, you could be a strong candidate unde...

Dear Ms Powell, I am bilingual and have been interested in applying to go to Canada via the Express Entry programme, but I’m worried that I won’t get enough points to qualify. I am a French teacher with a bachelor’s degree. What are my chances of getting through? Thank you in advance. – E.P. Dear E.P., The Canadian Express Entry System is one that manages applications for candidates who qualify under programmes such as the Federal Skilled Worker Programme, the Federal Skilled Trades Programme, Caribbean Experience Class, and some Provincial Nominee Programmes. The system is a points-based one as Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will rank applicants based on the comprehensive ranking system (CRS), which gives clients a score based on factors such as education, age, language skills, and family ties in Canada. Once you have provided a personal profile, you will be entered into a pool, where you are given a rank based on your background. IRCC conducts a draw almost every m...

I hope it will be one of the answers published. I am a nurse in Jamaica and I have been offered a job as a caregiver in Canada. I am interested, but I would need to know that I can become a citizen if I take that job. Would I be allowed to take my daughter? Can she attend high school? What are our options to become citizens? – M.K. Dear M.K., Thank you for contacting us. The pathway to citizenship in Canada is usually a two-step process for most immigrants and in some cases, three, depending on the route you take to come to Canada. Since you indicate that you have a job offer as a caregiver, I will outline the current most common pathway to citizenship for individuals with a valid job offer as a live-in caregiver.

I am now in the express entry pool and my score is 448 and so I expect that I will soon get an invitation to apply for permanent residence. When I applied, they didn’t ask for any documents.
