Canadian Immigration Process (Family Class: Spouse)?

Posted December 23rd, 2011 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

My wife and child are canadian and I’m american. I’ve been considering applying under the “Family Class” to become a Permanent Resident. However the thought of being out of commission for 1-2 years while I wait for my PR card does not sit well with me. Being stuck doing nothing for 2 years would drive me insane.

I guess my question is:
Is there anyway I could get a temporary work visa while I wait for my PR card? Normally work visas are usually issued only to highly skilled workers; but my work experience is pretty plain. (ex:Retail, Sales, Customer Service, etc. etc.)

Immigrating to Canada : Family Class?

Posted March 8th, 2011 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

My husband is a Canadian citizen and we are about to apply for immigration under the family class, for him to sponsor myself and my son from my previous marriage, into Canada from the UK.

We have a few things that we aren’t clear about, I am currently waiting for a court order to remove my son from UK jurisdicition, this will be in court on 19th August 09. We wanted to know if we could start our immigration application without this documentation and have it approved subject to us providing it?

“Can I work or study in Canada while waiting for approval?
While waiting for their Immigrant Visas, Family Class Immigrants are allowed to work or study in Canada only if they have been granted an Employment Authorization or Student Authorization. Family Class Immigrants entitled to apply for permanent residence from within Canada can apply for an open Employment Authorization after their applications have been approved in principle by immigration officials.”

I found the above and wondered if this is possible, if when approved in principle my son will be able to attend school and myself able to work, how would we go about this, and what time scale would it be?

Thank you in advance.

Posted May 19th, 2010 by immigratecanada and filed in Uncategorized

Hi,

I am 3d Animation Artist and work for film and animation. I apply for my Canadian Immigration under Federal Skilled worker Class. They said that my Category is no in the high demand list. Please read their response below I will hide my reference number rest remains same.

My Question is can I still apply under some other class such a provincial nomination etc.?

Please read their response below thanks.

Dear Sir:

We have received your application for permanent residence in Canada in the Federal Skilled Worker Class on 12 August 2009.

The Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism issued instructions which were published in the Canada Gazette on November 28, 2008. These instructions specify that only applicants who have an offer of Arranged Employment, applicants who are legally residing in Canada for at least one year as a Temporary Foreign Worker or an International Student, or applicants who have work experience in certain listed occupations are eligible to be processed in the Federal Skilled Worker class.

You have not indicated in your application that you have an Arranged Employment Offer or that you are legally residing in Canada for at least one year as a Temporary Foreign Worker or an International Student. Your application has therefore been assessed on the basis of whether you have work experience in the list of occupations eligible for processing. These occupations are identified by codes and described in the National Occupational Classification (NOC). You may access the list of eligible occupations at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#list

You have indicated that you have work experience in an occupation with the following NOC code: 5223,Xyz company, , Xyz company, Xyz company . This occupation is not included on the list of eligible occupations specified in the instructions identified by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and published in the Canada Gazette on 28 November 2008.

For the reasons outlined above, your application does not meet the requirements of the Ministerial Instructions and your application is not eligible for processing.The fees that you have paid are refundable. You will receive a cheque within eight to twelve weeks. If you submitted original supporting documents, these are being returned to you by mail.

There are many ways to immigrate to Canada. Although you have not satisfied the requirements to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Class, you may qualify under another category. To learn more about your options, visit: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp

Thank you for your interest in Canada.
