    Immigration is not a solution during health care , unemployment and housing crises. Do not mislead potential immigrants. Nothing but hardship for them, and more stress for Canadians.

    Unemployment is probably more than 10%. There is no such issue of lack of workers in Canada. They just dont want to pay decent salaries hence many people can't find jobs. This is mostly related to the mediocre monopoly based economy model, lack of competition and not enough incentive for entrepreneurs

    Of all the Western countries, Canada has the least competent visa officers with very little regard to their own criteria, especially when it comes to visitor visa applications. Total disappointment.

    Mark and Alicia, you are both great, but I wish you would be more open about sharing your thoughts on unfair immigration policies. Alberta is currently the worst province for international students, as BC and Ontario have specific streams for MA and PhD students, while Alberta has none. Additionally, June 11th was terrible, with tens of thousands of people unable to access the system. I still wonder why no one speaks about Alberta's awful immigration policy! Please, as experts, put pressure on Alberta's Ministry of Immigration and Multiculturalism.

    🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 00:00 *🎙️ Live Q&A hosted by Canadian Immigration Institute provides authoritative, relevant, and timely immigration advice and information.* 02:18 *🌍 Viewers can ask Canadian immigration questions in the chat for the hosts to address.* 05:47 *💡 Express Entry draws have shown changes, including targeted draws and specific category-only draws.* 08:07 *📊 Express Entry CRS scores have been high, making it challenging for candidates to receive invitations.* 10:26 *🇨🇦 Learning French can boost CRS scores and provide additional pathways under Express Entry.* 13:24 *🔥 Alberta Advantage Immigration Program's reopening caused system crashes due to high demand for very limited application spots.* 16:39 *🎰 Applying to PNPs feels more like a lottery in the current immigration landscape, emphasizing the need for diverse strategy.* 20:51 *🔍 Post-grad work permit eligibility changes anticipated to align with in-demand job sectors and program of study categorizations.* 23:33 *🕵️ Changes in spousal open work permit eligibility for international students could impact temporary work permit holders in Canada.* 24:38 *🎓 New eligibility requirements for open spousal work permits in Canada now require the principal applicant to pursue a master's or doctoral program or specific bachelor's degrees.* 25:48 *💼 Postgraduate work permits in Canada are limited to one, but during the pandemic, there was a temporary extension policy for holders of valid permits.* 28:18 *🎯 Having 497 CRS points in the Canadian Experience Class may still be competitive, but the timing and type of draws significantly impact the overall chances.* 30:52 *🛠️ Language proficiency is a crucial factor in Express Entry eligibility, and applicants can retake language tests to improve their scores and update their profiles accordingly.* 32:14 *📚 For certain category-based draws, having relevant work experience in specific occupations can lead to a lower CRS score requirement for receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).* 33:48 *💡 Provinces like Alberta require that post-grad work permit holders have jobs related to their field of study; providing a clear explanation connecting education to job roles is essential.* 38:18 *🩺 Applicants for permanent residence in Canada can now upload a blank medical form upfront, allowing them to get the medical exam done prior to receiving a request from IRCC.* 42:52 *🕰️ Processing times for Express Entry applications can vary, and it's important to monitor the progress and reach out to IRCC if facing delays beyond the standard processing window.* 49:11 *📝 Alberta Opportunity Stream requires employers to be in continuous operation for a minimum of two years, with some exceptions.* 50:36 *💡 Temporary resident applications are being reduced to 5% of the total population in Canada.* 53:28 *📚 Study permit applications usually need to be made from outside Canada, with exceptions under specific circumstances.* 55:29 *🌏 Permanent residents nominated through provincial programs must show intent to reside in the nominating province to maintain their status.* 58:16 *🔒 The impact of new Alberta Opportunity Stream requirements on existing and future applications is uncertain due to lack of transparency.* Made with HARPA AI
