Canadian employer guaranteed immigration has always been highly concerned and sought after by Chinese people. In 2019, the total number of immigrants in Canada was 341,180, and the number of economic immigrants reached 196,635, accounting for 57.6%, of which skilled immigrants accounted for more than 90%.
Employer-guaranteed immigration is one of the most applied immigration programs for Chinese people due to their advantages of low application threshold, low capital investment, high approval rate, and simple process. Adhering to the true intention of helping everyone successfully immigrate to Canada, today Xiaobang introduces various Canadian employers to guarantee immigration in the most easy-to-understand words.
What is Canadian employer guaranteed immigration?
Canadian employer guaranteed immigration is a way of immigration to obtain permanent residence status in Canada. Simply put, if you want to obtain permanent residence in Canada in this way, you need to find an employer in Canada first, and then the employer unit applies to the relevant government departments to guarantee you. After the review is approved, you can obtain permanent residence in Canada.
In Canadian employer guarantee projects, Xiaobang wants to popularize a concept for everyone first. Employer guarantees are actually divided into two categories in Canadian immigration projects. The first category is provincial nominated employer guarantee projects, and the second category is federal employer guarantee projects.
province nomination, as the name suggests, is that Canadian provinces have the authority to nominate. Some Canadian provinces negotiate with the federal government based on their province's economic development and various talents they need. It is called PNP for short, which is one of the most popular immigration methods at present. As for the federal program, it does not need to go through the provincial nomination stage and can directly submit a permanent residence application to the federal government. Compared with the two, the advantage of federal projects is that it does not go through the provincial nomination application stage, that is, in the overall process cycle of permanent residence, the application cycle of federal projects will be faster. Next, Xiaobang will introduce in detail the specific immigration projects guaranteed by these two types of employers.
Provincial nominated employer guarantee project
Let’s start with the provincial nominated employer guarantee project. Among the many nominated employer guarantee projects in the province, if the most popular employer guarantee project in the past two years after the epidemic is the Ontario .
Ontario employer guarantee
Canada's economy has three troikas: Ontario, BC and Quebec. Ontario is one of them, and it is also one of Canada's three largest economically powerful provinces. Ontario has two important cities. The first is Ottawa , which is the capital of Canada. The second is more familiar to everyone, which is Toronto , which is the largest city in Ontario.
Especially after last year, Ontario joined the new EOI policy. In the early stage, there was no requirement for education or language in scoring, especially the requirement for language, which can be said to have attracted many applicants.
The first feature of Ontario employer guarantee project is that its work experience requires work experience in the same position. For example, if your job in China is a sales manager, then your job in Ontario employer guaranteed job application must also be a sales manager. Canada has made a specific classification of job professions, which is often called NOC. For example, if financial manager is 0111 in the NOC table, then its career application form must also be 0111.
This is different from the guarantee of employers in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan requires relevant work experience. For example, you are a marketing manager in China, because work experience will involve factors such as marketing promotion and sales, so when we match your position, we can choose a retail manager.
Ontario also implements a scoring system. Unlike BC, if English, education, and age do not participate in scoring, what is it based on scoring? Xiaobang summarizes four items for everyone, namely work skills, occupational category, salary level and work location.
Another major advantage of Ontario employer guarantee project is that it is free of IELTS! Yes, this is also the reason why many applicants choose this program.
Recently, an important thing in Ontario is that the latest provincial nomination in Ontario has added two new terms. Xiaobang summarizes it as follows:
First, after the applicant has obtained the provincial nomination, he must apply for a work visa within 6 months.
Second, from the date the applicant receives the provincial nomination, he must come to Ontario to work for your employer within 10 months.
Third, the applicant needs to continue to maintain his work before obtaining his permanent residence status.
Finally, let me tell you about the processing cycle of Ontario employer guarantees. The overall cycle is about 18-30 months, about two to two and a half years.
BC Provincial Employer Guarantee Project
Next, Xiaobang will talk about the BC Provincial Employer Guarantee Project. In fact, the BC Provincial Employer Guarantee Project is divided into two application channels, one is our common ordinary channel, and the other is the fast channel, also called EEBC.
So what is the difference between fast channel and ordinary channel? The biggest difference is the federal processing cycle. The processing cycle of ordinary channels in the federal is one to one and a half years, and the processing cycle of fast channels is only 6-8 months.
Then let’s take a look at the application conditions for employers in BC Province. First of all, in terms of language, NOC 0, A, and B. Although the immigration policy does not require applicants to provide language scores, from the perspective of scoring, it is recommended that everyone prepare more. Because there is a screening threshold for employers in BC Province, applicants must at least have an IELTS score of 5. If you take the EE fast track, the language requirements will be even higher. IELTS must at least reach CLB7, which is the level of IELTS 4 6.
Next, let’s take a look at the other application conditions - education, and highlight the key points! You need a college degree or above, or even a college degree or above, you do not have a very advantageous position. If you take the EE fast track, your education should be undergraduate or above.
The previous article has always emphasized that there are scoring in this project. Xiaobang has passed all the filtering scores in 2021. It can be seen that the ordinary channel belongs to the skilled worker category. Its filtering score is between 90-100 points, which is similar to 2020.
Then in the EE fast channel, there will be a slight floating, the filter score is between 86-106 points, which is higher in the scoring system of BC. The latest screening of the EE fast track should be January 11, 2022. The score this year is relatively higher. The ordinary channel is 103 points, and the fast track is relatively high, reaching 110 points.
Then let’s take a look at the application process for employer guarantees in BC. The overall application period is about 18-30 months, which is not much different from the Ontario employer guarantees above.
Saharan employer guarantee
Next we look at another provincial nomination project -Saharan employer guarantee.Saharan province is located in central Canada and is one of the three Canadian prairie provinces.
Saalz Institute employers guarantee this project is lower than other employers guarantee immigration projects. First of all, the language level is required. The minimum requirement is CLB4, and reading this item requires 3.5 points. The work experience requirements are also relatively broad, and you can have one year of work experience within 10 years.
Saharan employer guarantee is a special one. Look at the red icon, that is, its job approval letter, Job Approval Letter, generally we abbreviately call it JAL. When the applicant submits the provincial nomination application materials, the applicant's application materials and employer's materials, that is, the guarantee company's materials, are tried together. At this stage, the Canadian Immigration Bureau must not only look at whether the employer's company meets the requirements, but also look at the applicant's comprehensive background, education, personal work experience, etc. and the rationality of the job offer. This is the case-by-case trial.
Saalz Institute employer guarantee has another difference. In the provincial nomination stage, the employer is first reviewed. If an employer wants to hire overseas employees, he must first conduct provincial approval and submit a JAL application. If the province believes that the employer has no problem and meets the conditions, the government will give the applicant JAL approval, that is, the applicant's approval document.
Saskatchewan also implements a scoring system, but the score requirements are relatively low, only 60 points are enough. Its screening rules are not that those with higher scores are not as intense as BC, nor as strange as Ontario. As long as it can reach 60 points, it is enough. Therefore, employers in Saskatchewan basically do not need to consider scores. It can be said that it is a relatively low-demand project in employers' guarantees for immigration.
Next, let’s take a look at the advantages of employer guarantee projects. First of all, there are a lot of quotas, and the province is small, so there is not so much competition, so the application threshold is also low.
In fact, the Saskatchewan project has another advantage, that is, the consumption level in Saskatchewan is low and the basic living expenses are not large. For example, renting a house or buying some daily necessities are very cheap, which can save and reduce living costs to a certain extent.
Relatively speaking, employers in Saskatchewan guarantee immigration is relatively fast, and the overall cycle is within two years. I will briefly talk to you about the
provincial nomination project. Let me explain the federal employer guarantee project below.
federal employer guarantee project
Atlantic four provinces employer guarantee (AIP)
Although the four provinces of the Atlantic are among the four northeastern provinces of Canada, it is actually a federal project.
Because the four Atlantic provinces are underdeveloped and they are extremely eager for talents, the Federal Immigration Bureau has specially opened such a channel for them in order to attract talents to the four provinces to activate the local economy and labor market. In 2017, it was just a pilot project launched by the Federal Immigration Agency.
Fortunately, at the beginning of this year, the Immigration Bureau hoped to continue to drive the economic level of the four underdeveloped provinces, change the AIP project of the four Atlantic provinces to a permanent immigration project, becoming a very indispensable member in the history of Canadian immigration.
Recently, the application conditions of the four Atlantic provinces have improved a few points. I have summarized a few points for you. In fact, the more obvious point is that there are higher requirements for languages. Previously, it required only 4 points for English, but now it selects language levels according to the type of job. NOC 0, A, and B requires 5 points for IELTS, and only NOC C work is 4 points for IELTS.
In addition, the applicant's education level has also improved. If the applicant is applying for NOC 0 or A, the applicant needs a college degree. If it is NOC B or C, the applicant needs a high school degree.
Since the employer guarantee project in the four Atlantic provinces is a federal project, what are its advantages? We also mentioned earlier, yes, the processing cycle is fast! You can get a permanent residence in one step in about a year.
Manchester Province employer guarantees
Manchester Province, it is also one of the three grassland provinces (Manchester, Saskatchewan, Alberta), and the capital is Winnipeg .
Next, let me briefly introduce to you the Manitoba employer guarantee. It is a little different from other employer guarantee projects. It requires first holding a work visa and accumulating certain work experience in the local area before applying for the provincial nomination project, which belongs to a special category.
In fact, it does not require much education in terms of application conditions, and it values the comprehensive situation of the applicant more. In terms of language, there are no rigid requirements for the current immigration policy, as long as you can meet the employer's requirements.
As mentioned earlier, this project requires you to work locally first, and this work requires a work visa based on LMIA.
Regarding work experience, you need to work in the local area for 6 months before applying for approval. It can be said that it is through the method of saving the country in a curve, first having a work visa, then going to the local area to accumulate work experience, and then applying for immigration to achieve the goal of obtaining immigration status.
Manchester Application period for employers is relatively longer because you need to accumulate 6 months of work experience in Manchester. Other employer guarantee projects can obtain permanent residence status in about two to two and a half years. So it will take another half a year to work in Manchester, so it will take 2.5 to 3 years in total.
Employer guarantee projects compared with
Let’s take a look at the employer guarantee projects in these provinces just mentioned. They are all projects that can obtain permanent residence in one step, including the Atlantic APP project.
Let’s look at the language requirements in the picture above. If BC Province needs to reach at least 5 points in IELTS, Saskatchewan needs 4 points in IELTS, and Atlantic Province also needs 4 points in IELTS.
In EOI screening, BC Province is relatively fierce and has high requirements for applicants. Ontario also has EOI screening, but for applicants, the current immigration policy is not binding. Saskatchewan EOI screening can be said to be useless and there is no threshold. There is no EOI screening in the four Atlantic provinces.
Overall, Canada's immigration policy is still very friendly, and future immigration opportunities are still sufficient, but customers who want to immigrate also need to be prepared at all times in order to seize the opportunity to get an invitation to immigrate faster. Therefore, friends who are interested in immigrating to Canada must seize the opportunity and hurry up and start processing!
