🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

I'm thrilled to share a recent success story where I facilitated the swift acquisition of work permits for two talented brewers, each with their own unique journey to Canada!

Despite facing common hurdles in international immigration, we navigated the process efficiently, leveraging the advantages of the RO IEC Young Professional program over the traditional LMIA route, along with my collaboration with International Rural Exchange Canada, an IRCC Recognized Organization. https://awaytowork.ca/

One brewer, hailing from Chile, encountered challenges accessing the regular IEC program. However, our collaboration ensured a smooth transition, securing an invitation swiftly through the RO IEC Young Professional program, without the need for labor market advertising or the lengthy processing times associated with LMIA applications.

Meanwhile, the Irish brewer, already in Canada on a working holiday work permit, sought to extend their stay and continue their invaluable contributions to their respective team. Through our collaboration and the streamlined approach of the RO IEC Young Professional program, we facilitated the transition to a new two-year work permit, enabling them to further enrich their brewery's culture and craft.

This success underscores the unparalleled benefits of exploring alternative immigration pathways and the immense value of strategic collaborations in accessing global talent, especially when compared to the cumbersome and time-consuming LMIA process.

And hey, who knows, the next tasty brew you enjoy might just be thanks to me! 🍻

What’s changing for Mexicans
"Starting at 11:30 p.m. ET on February 29, 2024,

you will need to meet new requirements to be eligible for an eTA
if you already have an eTA, it will automatically be cancelled unless you also have a valid work or study permit
if you have an eTA application in progress, you will need to apply for a new eTA or for a visitor visa
before you travel to Canada, you will need to apply for a new eTA (if eligible)
if you’re not eligible for an eTA anymore, you will need to apply for a visitor visa to travel to Canada
These changes apply even if you already booked your travel. Having pre-booked travel plans or a previously valid eTA does not guarantee you will be approved for a new eTA or a visa." https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/campaigns/eta-work-visa-mexico.html

New IEC eligible country!

Hey, Icelandic youth 🇮🇸! We have some exciting news for you.

If you're 18 to 30, you can now work and travel to Canada 🇨🇦 under International Experience Canada's Working Holiday for up to 12 months. What's even better? You can participate twice for a total of 24 months!

Check it out: https://ow.ly/eehj50Qiibw

11/12/2023

Changes to the Working Holiday program in Canada, specifically for British citizens. Here's a breakdown of the key points:

1. Upper Age Limit Increase: The upper age limit for participation in the Working Holiday program has been raised from 30 to 35 years old.

2. Participation Duration: Participants can engage in the program for an initial period of 24 months. After that, they have the option to apply for a second participation with a duration of 12 months.

3. IEC Program: Both participations can be done through the regular International Experience Canada (IEC) program.
Invitation Start Date: Invitations for the program are set to begin on January 8, 2024.

4. Quota and Competition: There is a quota of 9000 Working Holiday spots. With thousands more people now eligible, there may be increased competition for these spots, potentially making it harder to secure a quick invitation and application. Quota of 900 for Young Professionals spots.

5. Young Professionals (YP) Program: The Young Professionals program, which was previously only available through Recognized Organizations, is now open without this requirement. This could provide a boost of 50 valid job offer points if applicants have close to one year of skilled work experience with a Canadian employer.

6. Alternative to LMIA: The YP program is a great alternative to the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process. Employers don't need to advertise, and there is a reduced cost with a $230 Employer Compliance Fee compared to the $1000 LMIA processing fee.

11/12/2023

2 years + 1 year of IEC Working Holiday or Young professionals clarified for Brits. One participation of 2 years then last participation of 1 year under the regular IEC program.

Check out Kosuke's post.

2024 IEC Pool is open

Some countries only allow you to participate once. Others allow you to participate twice, but in different categories. Because each country is different, it’s important that you check to see if you’re eligible to apply.

Upfront Medical will not be required after Oct 1 2023 for applicants submitting permanent residence applications through the Express Entry management system. "Document requirements – Applications received on or after October 1, 2023:
Express Entry applicants are no longer required to complete and submit an upfront medical examination (UFM) at the time of application submission, and applicants will be asked to await further instruction as to when an Immigration Medical Examination (IME) is required.
If applicants have previously completed an IME, they will be asked to include a copy in the pre-existing upload field for IMEs. Applicants who have never completed an IME will be instructed to upload a blank document.
If no IME was provided, processing offices should conduct an integrated search for any previously completed IMEs, and associate the IME to the application accordingly.
Processing offices should then review and apply the temporary public policy (TPP), if the applicant is eligible.
If no IME is found, and the TPP cannot be applied, instructions to undergo an IME should be sent to the applicant."

British citizen's second IEC WHV participation approved! Submitted June 14, 2023. Approved July 17, 2023. Main challenge with Brits right now is ACRO Police Certificate is taking so long to be issued. The applicant is going to try and gain more skilled experience with her second participation so she can apply for PR in the future.

Breaking news! Today, the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship and the Right Honourable Robert Jenrick, UK Minister of State for Immigration, announced the signing of a new Canada–United Kingdom (UK) Youth Mobility Arrangement. The arrangement was signed by Minister Fraser and Her Excellency Susannah Goshko, British High Commissioner to Canada.

Under this arrangement, more Canadian and British youth will benefit from reciprocal work opportunities in each other’s country for a longer period of time through International Experience Canada (IEC) and the UK’s Youth Mobility Scheme.

The new arrangement builds on an existing youth mobility partnership that began in 2008 and includes a number of improvements:

The eligibility age will expand from 18 to 30 to 18 to 35.
Two new streams—International Co-op (Internship) and Young Professionals—will be added to complement the existing Working Holiday category for UK nationals visiting Canada.
The total period that participants will be able to stay will increase from 2 to 3 years.
International youth mobility helps young people explore new cultures, languages and societies, all while developing life skills and improving their job prospects for the future.

Canada and the UK anticipate implementing the new arrangement in 2024.

Here is what my client Michelle has to say about securing her spot with me this season: "Ko has been a wonderful support to me these past few months and I would highly recommend him to anybody going through the immigration process here in Canada.

I had been planning to apply for permanent residency but I ended up not having enough points for express entry. I didn't have a lot of time to play with and so I contacted Ko as he had helped some folk I know living here. Ko helped me navigate the whole process and outlined other options which I didn't even know I had. This put me at great ease.

Ko supported me in applying for another IEC Working Holiday visa which was a really straightforward and stress-free process once I had his support. He explained the whole process step by step and any questions or concerns I had during this time were met with very quick and helpful responses.

I will definitely be getting back in touch with Ko for support with my PR application. Thanks Ko, you're a star!"

Things are about to get tougher for majority of people wanting to use the Express Entry management system to get PR. It should get easier for Francophones and those who work in Healthcare occupations, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) occupations, Trade occupations, Transport occupations, and Agriculture and agri-food occupations.

Hoping some of you will be able to benefit from this IRCC public policy. You apparently need to have open work permits expiring from August 1 and the end of 2023.

Will this 18 months work permit extension public policy cover working holiday open work permit holders too?
