Canada is expanding Express Entry for international students regardless of the immigration backlog

A ray of hope can be there for the international students if their post-graduation work permits in Canada are expiring soon. As already discussed earlier the two million backlogs of Canada regarding immigration, the country is working towards expanding the Express Entry system and opening up pathways for international students and temporary foreign workers to grant permanent residency in Canada.

The skilled workers looking forward to settling down in Canada have an online Express Entry system. This system is used by Canada to manage immigration applications. The three types of immigration programs managed under the Express Entry program includes the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP).

Due to the increasing backlogs, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) paused the issuance of CEC invitations which is known to be the most common route for post-graduate work permit holders for obtaining a permanent residency.

In a recent detailed discussion that took place on 16th February 2022, about the state of Canadian immigration that considered the matter to look into making the Express Entry system more flexible for the candidates and the CEC draws would be resumed in the near future.

As of now, the immigration levels plan is seeing constant improvements and the balance will be shifting back as before in the next couple of years. Canada is estimated to welcome a record number of federal skilled workers, including the Canadian Experience Class in the upcoming three years.

In the mandate letter, Fraser stated that he would be prioritizing to broaden the options for the candidates to receive PR status for the international students as well as the temporary workers especially for the candidates whose right to remain in Canada has been affected due to the IRCC delays despite contributing to the Canadian economy significantly.

Express Entry Expansion to tackle the backlogs

A piece of concern rose out even after the reassurance of Fraser that the immigration applications will be tackled shortly that included the loosing of skilled immigrants to other countries which are working to reform their immigration system to welcome the new candidates and stating that everyone is in a race for global talent but when it comes to Canada, there’s no such question of winning the race.

According to the new strategy of IRCC to welcome more immigrants in the upcoming years under the Immigration Level Plan 2022-24 which is looking forward to admitting 431,645 applicants in 2022 aiming to attract skilled workers to occupy the labour shortages rose because of the pandemic and also including refugee resettlement for the candidates looking forward to seeking asylum in Canada.

The economic class admissions are going to admit most of the immigrants under the new plan. However, Canada has decided to halt the admission categories such as CEC, FSWP, and the FSTP and inviting only Provincial Nominee Program candidates for applying Express Entry system since September 2021.

Research made by the CIC news states that Canada is having 64,890 CEC and FSWP candidates’ pendency till 1st February 2022. Fewer immigrants were welcomed due to the new Immigration Levels Plan through Express Entry this year.

It is necessary for the PGWP holders to be eligible for CEC or Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) before the expiration of their PGWP. The freezing of Invitation to Apply scares the Canadian credentialed, skilled workers of getting their permanent residency progress derailed. It is also a negative point for the Canadian employers who wish to keep them as stated by the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association in the matter of the Express Entry pathway.

Concrete and systematic planning to tackle the short staffing in IRCC’s application processing is required necessarily. Not providing a permanent solution to the problem will lead to the casualty of resource mismanagement for the international graduates with PGWP in Canada.

A warning has been generated by the CILA that mentions the hardships because of the September 2021 pause in the Canadian Experience Class invitations for the thousands of international students and temporary foreign workers who have contributed to Canada’s economy and society and are now only left with limited permanent residency spots for them.

What is Statement of Purpose For Canada?

Statement of purpose is considered as one of the most important documents required for the application process for the student who wishes to study abroad. A statement of purpose is written to highlight the candidate’s educational background, achievements, and goals and also mentions the reasons for choosing the desired university as well as the program. The statement of purpose benefits the candidates to stand out among the huge number of applications and distinguish themselves according to their grades. The statement of purpose reflects the candidate’s enthusiasm for studying in the desired university based on their extracurricular achievements as well as academic achievements. A snapshot of the candidate’s personality has been reflected by the statement of purpose by the academic performance and helps the administration to make decisions if they find the candidate a good fit for the campus culture. The statement of purpose makes your way towards the receiving of a letter of acceptance. It is necessary to have a statement of purpose for the visa application as well as for the Student Direct Stream (SDS).

How to write an SOP?

The first step is to create an outline accordingly. The candidate should start the statement of purpose by giving a brief introduction about what developed his interest in the particular subject. After that, the relevant achievements and expertise should be considered and the reason behind choosing the course and the university. The main thing that should be kept in notice while writing purposes should be that the focus is required to be on mentioning your learning and education as well as the market and industry experience. The language should be positive, and the candidate should demonstrate their interests and goals and how their talents, experiences, and interests are going to help them to contribute to the institution in the future. If the candidate has any educational gap, then that should be considered optimistically. Having a clear introduction and conclusion is extremely important. It is suggested to re-analyze the statement of purpose before sending it as this will help the candidate to correct the flow, vocabulary, sentence construction, errors, and other grammar issues.

Is the statement of purpose mandatory for a Canada student visa?

All Canadian universities do not require an SOP for pursuing higher studies. It is completely on the university if they require a statement of purpose or not. Although, most of the Canadian reputed institutions require a statement of purpose. If a candidate wishes to apply for one or more Canadian universities, then the candidate should use most of the same content except the course details as well as the university names.

How do I write a statement of purpose to an embassy for a visa?

The statement of purpose plays a key role in the visa application. It is stated as the most crucial part of the application. To get your application accepted, the statement of purpose should be completely honest and must be reflecting the candidate’s true personality and professional identity.

Writing a statement of purpose for a university is slightly different from a statement of purpose for a visa application. The statement of purpose for the visa should be well-detailed and the visa officer should have complete clarity of the candidate’s future aspects in the specific country.

The structure should be in the following way:-

The address of the candidate should be mentioned at the top right corner of the statement of purpose and on the left side; the address of the visa officer of the particular country should be mentioned.
The second step is to mention the subject of the matter of the candidate’s statement of purpose for the visa application.
The next paragraph should start with a brief introduction of what the candidate intends to discuss for the visa in their statement of purpose.
The pointers that are required to be included in the introduction should be discussing the long-term goal and the inter-link about how it relates the candidate to the preferred educational program. This should also include the future goals of how the candidate’s preferred course will contribute to the field.
The candidate should also include pointers related to their background about how things helped them develop their interests in the chosen professional field. This helps the visa officer to connect with the point of view of the candidate.
Coming to the next paragraph, the candidate should summarize everything about their academic background, qualifications, and accolades. The internship experiences and current studying, projects, academics, market or industrial exposure.
The candidates have to take care of the fact that they should not highlight any negative aspect as well as any dishonest approach in the statement of purpose.
The next step is to write about the professional experiences of the candidate. This helps the candidate establish a career progression. The student’s great career graph will be a plus point.
The next step is to elaborate on the reasons for joining the particular academic course and the university. The candidates should discuss how the specific course and different modules will help them in shaping a brighter future. The skills of the candidate should also be considered which would be helping them to get better exposure in developing and honing the skills needed in the professional goals. And the dream goals should be briefly discussed in the statement of purpose.
Considering the last paragraph, the candidate should conclude by stating their passion, willingness, and readiness to pursue education in the desired university. The statement of purpose for the visa should sound focused on the future vision to follow their dreams. The candidate’s zeal and zest to study and work should be nicely reflected in the statement of purpose.

Do I need a Letter of Explanation for a Canada study permit?

The Letter of Explanation is an official document stating the valid reasons of the candidates for studying in Canada. This is also considered to clarify the contradictory details in the study permit application. Letter of explanation and statement of purpose are the same thing in Canada. This document is considered a necessary document in Canada for the visa and university application.

Canada Immigration Level Plan

By Beyond Immigration Immigration

Recently Canada made an announcement stating that the country is planning to welcome more than 1.3 million immigrants over the next three years to support the post-pandemic growth.

Canada has decided to increase its immigration targets. The country is looking forward to welcoming almost 432,000 new immigrants in the year 2022 instead of the initial plan to welcome 411,000 newcomers.

Indians have the highest nationality in gaining permanent residency in Canada accounting for about 40% of the total number. A total of 27,000 Indians gained access to Canada and about 50,000 Indians were invited to make an application for permanent residency.

Canada is planning to target the following number of immigrants in the coming three years:-

An account of 431,645 permanent residents in 2022
An account of 447,055 permanent residents in 2023
An account of 451,000 permanent residents in 2024

The immigration minister Sean Fraser stated that the levels plan will help balance the needs of the country and the international obligations. The main focus of the levels plan is to attract skilled workers who are going to contribute to the economy of Canada and help tackle the labour shortage while keeping in mind the importance of family reunification and providing help to the world’s most vulnerable populations through refugee support. Support will be provided to Canada’s resurgence through increased retention of newcomers in the regions which are facing economic, labour, and demographic challenges. The minister also added that he is proud of how far Canada has come with its achievements and looking forward to Canada becoming the top destination of choice with the help of the newcomers.

It is estimated that the Express Entry, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), and the Temporary to Permanent Residence will invite 56% of new immigrants in the year 2022.

The PNP program of Canada is looking to invite 83,500 newcomers through this program as it is the main admission program for the economic class immigrants suggested by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Express entry admissions are cut half for this year but it is aimed to get back to normal levels by the year 2024 with the estimated arrival of 111,500 immigrants.

The IRCC is considering the TR2PR program as the main immigration program with inviting 40,000 immigrants in 2022 and 32,000 immigrants by 2023 and planned to reduce the admissions under the Express Entry system.

Canada’s provinces are regulating the PNP invitations since the start of the pandemic. 24% of the admissions are estimated to be considered by the family class which includes at least 80,000 candidates to arrive under the Spouses, Partner, and Children Program and considering 25,000 applications under the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP). PGP admissions target has been increased by 1500 additional spots by the IRCC.

The left 20% of the candidates will be arriving in Canada under the refugee and humanitarian programs. Canada is looking forward to resettling 40,000 Afghan refugees over the coming years.

The Canadian government has been requested to state its immigration plan by November 1 every year by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). The announcement wasn’t made last year because the Canadian government was holding an election in September. Canada’s immigration system is completely guided by the levels plan. The basic approach of the levels plan is to look at the number of immigrants the country is going to welcome under the various federal, provincial, and territorial programs. According to this, the IRCC plan their operations to ensure that it can attract, settle, integrate, and retain the targeted levels of newcomers that are set to arrive in the provinces and territories.

By 2015, the number of immigrants welcomed in Canada was about 250,000. A target of 300,000 newcomers was announced in 2016. The target rose to 340,000 before the pandemic started and the immigration fell below 200,000 in 2020. To support the post- Covid economic recovery, the Canadian government decided to welcome 400,000 immigrants every year.

Canada’s immigrant record broke down last year by welcoming 405,000 new permanent residents, mostly from the temporary residents of the country.

Under the Express Entry, the PNP, and Quebec’s streams, almost 62% of the immigrants took entry to Canada, and 20% of immigrants were welcomed under the family class through the Spouses, Partner, and Children Program and the Parents and Grandparents Program, as well as the refugee and humanitarian programs, welcomed 15% immigrants.

Canada has an ageing population and low birth rate that makes Canada lack in population, labour force and economic growth, and enough workers so that they can pay taxes to support health care and education. As a result, Canada has to target newcomers to support its economy.

Due to the pandemic, taking up immigration largely has become important for the economy. The increased spending during the pandemic has made the Canadian government-run fiscal deficits. Employers belonging to Canada faced labour shortages because of the ageing population and the changing economy during the pandemic and the less arrival of the immigrants.

As the country is holding elections for the second year a well, it is required for the Canadian government to table the second Immigration Levels Plan of the year by 1st November 2022 replacing the recent plan.

To live together with loved ones, friends, family or relatives is everyone’s wish. If one is eligible- they can sponsor their acquaintance and family member by following some reasonable and necessary guidelines.

Can a friend sponsor me to Canada?

It will be quite a task if an aspirant is willing to pursue higher studies in Canada. A relative, friend, or a capable family member can write a letter stipulating that they will pay for their tuition fee and living necessities as proof of a study permit. Apart from this, one requires a letter of admission from a Canadian educational institution, financial support proof, and proof; the aspirant will leave after completing their studies. Friends of permanent residents or Canadian citizens may apply for a visitor visa. However, there is no direct sponsorship program for a friend of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident currently available. When; a visa officer or the designated authority will ask for the invitation letter from a friend, an applicant needs to present or send it to the office where they have applied for the visiting visa. Although, one can become a permanent resident or settle in for the long term in Canada, under the family class category. After becoming a permanent resident one can study, live and work in Canada without applying for a visiting visa anymore. Our readers must be wondering about family class category visas or how to sponsor someone to Canada. Likewise, other immigration visas categories, family class sponsorship also have certain eligibility requirements to be fulfilled. The applicant or sponsor should start reviewing the family sponsorship application and relevant requirements. The sponsor should at least meet the following requirements; eighteen years of old or older, have permanent resident proof, or Canadian citizen and minimum necessary income as per the requirement.

Under the family class sponsorship or parents and grandparents program, PGP, one can sponsor their loved ones as per their eligibility. PGP is the cheapest program as Ottawa has reduced the sponsor amount where the sponsor can have to bear it for minimum last year. “Since many sponsors may have been affected financially by the COVID-19 pandemic, the income requirement for the 2020 tax year has been reduced to the minimum necessary income, instead of the minimum necessary income plus 30 percent,” IRCC.

How do you become a sponsor in Canada?

The eligible sponsor should be eighteen years old and a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada concerning the applicant.
