CRS score

CRS scores below 400? Ontario may give you a better chance!

Posted on by Venkat Karky Leave a Comment on CRS scores below 400? Ontario may give you a better chance!

Canada Express Entry is a faster and simpler way for individuals and families from across the world to migrate to Canada. The Express Entry system that came into existence in 2015 manages and processes applications received through Canada’s federal economic immigration programs. The candidates are selected for Canada immigration through Express Entry based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores. It is a score out of 1200 and the highest scoring candidates are invited to apply for Canada PR in the Express Entry draws that are conducted regularly.

When we observe the common pattern of Express Entry draws that were held in 2018, we can see that the minimum CRS score requirement to be invited to apply for permanent residence swung between 440 and 445 points. Immigration experts are of the opinion that the minimum CRS requirement is less likely to come down from this range in the near future. So, the best option for those with low CRS score is to find an alternative way to obtain Canada PR.

Applying for provincial nomination through the Human Capital Priorities (HCP) Stream is a great option for them. This Express Entry-linked stream of Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has recently been revised to make it accessible for more eligible immigrants. Earlier, candidates were required to have a minimum CRS score of 400 to be considered under the stream. This has been waived in the recent rules changes and the minimum CRS scores are now decided by the director.

Ontario has already conducted three draws with CRS score requirements below 400. Two out of these targeted candidates with a job offer from an Ontario employer and the remaining one invited candidates with French speaking abilities (CLB 7 or higher). The minimum CRS score requirement in the draw held on August 9 was 350. Candidates with CRS scores below 400 are likely to be invited in the future draws of the stream as well.

But one important thing we have to note here is that all the candidates with CRS score below 400 were selected based on either their job offer or their French-speaking skills. It means a job offer or your French speaking abilities might help you to obtain a provincial nomination from Ontario. However, neither a job offer nor French-speaking skills is a must to apply through the Human Capital Priorities Stream.

Canada CRS Calculator

 

The Express Entry candidate who receives a provincial nomination from Ontario will get 600 additional CRS points as a result of which, they will be invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the subsequent Express Entry draws.

The Human Capital Priorities Stream helps OINP select candidates with skills and human capital factors listed in the eligibility criteria. OINP has so far issued 3,534 Notifications of Interest (NOI) through HCP Stream in 2018.

Why Indian students choose Canada over USA?

Posted on by Venkat Karky Leave a Comment on Why Indian students choose Canada over USA?

In the past few years, Canada has become the most preferred study abroad destination for international students compared to the USA. The reasons are many, the most important among them being affordability, increased work opportunities and high quality of education. Another reason is more chances for permanent residency in the country. Now let’s explore in detail the factors that make Canada the most preferred international study destination compared to the US.

1. Better chances for permanent residency

There are thousands of Indians who have been waiting to obtain their US Green Card, even for almost five to six years. Moreover, the US has also recently cancelled the spousal work permits for H1B holders. In short, the US is turning increasingly hostile towards foreign students and their aspirations to settle in the country after studies.

At the same time, Canada has a number of immigration programs that allow international students to apply for permanent residence once they finish their studies. Permanent residence in Canada comes with work rights for the spouses, free education for children and free healthcare for the family among many other benefits. This is a major reason why many Indian students prefer Canada over USA.

2. High quality of life, low cost of living

Canada promises a quality life in a peaceful and nurturing atmosphere. The hostile policies towards foreign students and immigrants and a surge in racism and related crimes in the US have made the Indian students turn their focus towards Canada. There was a significant rise in the number of foreign students seeking admission in Canadian institutions in the past few years. This can be attributed to a certain extent to the political atmosphere caused by Trump rule in the US and Brexit in the UK.

3. A welcoming atmosphere

Interestingly, these are not the only reasons for the rise in the number of international students in Canada. Canada is also taking concrete steps to attract more international students to the country. Canadian student visa or study permit is comparatively easier to obtain and the admission procedures are simpler. Moreover, international students can work for three years in Canada after their studies, unlike the US where the foreign students do not have such an option.

Canada also promotes diversity that helps foreign students to feel more at home. In Canada, one is free to follow his/her own culture without having to face hostility.

4. High quality education

Canadian degrees have high value in the international job market. Canadian government also gives highest priority to ensure that the education offered in Canadian institutions of higher education is of world-class quality. Many Canadian universities are among the list of the best universities in the world.

5. High employment rate

Canadian graduates enjoy high employment prospects, both in Canada and abroad. Most of the graduates from Canadian institutions are getting placed within six months after their graduation. The courses offered by Canadian universities are industry-oriented, preparing students to easily adapt to work life and perform well. This is yet another positive reason why more Indian students are choosing Canada as their international study destination.

Canada offers a lot of opportunities for Indian students! To know if you are eligible for studying in Canada, contact us for a free assessment.

Canada the best destination for nursing professionals

Why is Canada the best destination for nursing professionals?

Posted on by Venkat Karky Leave a Comment on Why is Canada the best destination for nursing professionals?

Canada is a place that offers vast opportunities for nurses to thrive in their career while enjoying financial gains and high standards of living. Nurses have a wide variety of specialties for training and to gain experience in Canada. But becoming a recognized nurse in Canada involves a few steps, but it’s worth the effort considering the attractive perks enjoyed by nurses in Canada. Now let’s explore why Canada is the best place to work for a nursing professional.

1. Rising demand for nurses:

Canada has an aging population, which means the demand for nurses will keep rising in the future. Canadian Nursing Association predicts that there will be a shortage of around 60000 registered nurses in 2022. By 2050, nearly one-third of the Canadian population will be over the age of 60. In other words, the demand for healthcare services will only rise. It means opportunities for nurses will not fall short in the near future.

2. High salary:

A registered nurse in Canada earns an average monthly salary of $72,800 per year. The salary range has also witnessed an incredible growth over the past few years. For example, between 2007 and 2013, the growth was at a range of more than 15 percent. At entry level, nurses can earn an average of $60,000 per year and experienced nurses can earn up to $80,000 every year.

3. Flexible work schedules:

A registered nurse in Canada gets enough off-days. They also get compensated for their overtime work, besides paid annual off-days. It means, despite a hectic schedule, nurses get enough time to relax. Immigrant nurses can also use their annual off-days to visit their home country.

4. Childcare facilities in hospitals:

Mostly, nurses have to work at odd hours and even on weekends and holidays. So taking care of their children will be the greatest concern for them. Canada is a country that gives the highest priority to family welfare. In order to help the nurses take care of their children while they are working, many hospitals and institutions have arranged childcare facilities.

5. Pension and retirement:

Canada has no mandatory retirement age in Canada, so nurses can keep working as long as they can. The pension schemes for nurses vary from one region to another and one institution to another. However, the longer a nurse works and contributes to the pension plan, the bigger will be the benefits.

Majority of International Students in Canada Plan to Obtain PR After Studies

Posted on by Venkat Karky Leave a Comment on Majority of International Students in Canada Plan to Obtain PR After Studies

Sixty percent of international students  in Canada want to apply for permanent residence after they complete their studies, a survey conducted by the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) has found. The survey was conducted among the international students across the country. In a similar survey conducted by the CBIE earlier in 2015, only 51 percent of the international students had expressed their intention to apply for permanent residence in Canada. This year’s survey has shown that there has been a significant rise in the number of international students in Canada who plan to permanently reside in the country.

In the past few years, there has been a remarkable rise in the number of international students enrolled for various courses in Canada. A major reason for this is the policies introduced by the Canadian government that encourage international students to obtain permanent residence in the country after their studies.

Among the respondents to the CBIE survey, around 29% of the students had considered other countries as their study destinations before finally choosing Canada. Over half of them (54%) had applied to the US, 22% to the UK and 15% to Australia. The major reasons pointed out by these students for choosing to study in Canada were the quality of the education system, tolerant and nondiscriminatory nature of Canadian society and a safe environment to study.

Around 14000 international students responded to the CBIE survey, which was conducted between March and May 2018. They make up around 4% of the total number of international students in Canada pursuing post-secondary level courses. Ninety-four percent of these students said that they were satisfied with the education experience in Canada.

Among the respondents, 35 percent were pursuing bachelor’s degree courses, 17 percent doctoral studies and the rest were doing certificate or diploma programs or English-language programs.
