  International Nurses To Benefit From Easy Licensing In Nova Scotia21 March 2023, 8:51 AM EDT

  The NSCN has announced a first-of-its-kind licensing procedure for registered nurses (RNs) moving Nova Scotia from other Canadian provinces as well as from 7 countries.

  These 7 countries include Philippines, India, Nigeria, USA, UK, Australia, or New Zealand.

  NSCN (Nova Scotia College of Nursing) is the the provincial regulatory authority responsible for licensure and maintaining professional standards.

  RNs from these countries with good standing and character will be eligible for registration and licensure in Nova Scotia immediately with no additional requirements in May 2023.

  RNs from the above listed 7 countries and other Canadian provinces will only have to pass the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination).

  As per the official press release, the new method for registration and licensing for nurses will help in achieving below:

  • Effective March 29, 2023 the total processing time for RNs who have valid licences from another Canadian province will reduce from five days to 24 hours.
  • Effective May 1, 2023 the duration of the whole application procedure for international RNs (who are in good standing) from the Philippines, India, Nigeria, USA, UK, Australia, and New Zealand will decrease from nearly a year to a few weeks.
    • RNs from these countries will be able to submit their applications directly to NSCN.

  https://twitter.com/NSCollegeNurses/status/1637905444088717312?s=20

  These seven nations account for 87% of the current overseas applicants to NSCN.

  • Philippines – 42% 
  • India – 25% 
  • Nigeria – 10% 
  • USA – 6% 
  • UK – 4% 
  • 23 other countries – 13% 

  In 2022, the NSCN enrolled more foreign RNs than it did in any of the preceding three years combined.

  As a licensed practical nurse, registered nurse, or nurse practitioner in 2022, the NSCN registered and licensed 282 foreign RNs.

  Please note this is NOT an immigration program, rather easing of licensure for internationally trained RNs planning on moving/immigrating to Nova Scotia.

  “I am pleased to share what is truly a first-in-the-country approach to licensing international and Canadian nurses in Nova Scotia. The new approach will significantly decrease licensing time; increase licensure of nurses; reduce administrative requirements; and is aligned with new initiatives of health care partners. It’s a safe and faster process for nurses who want to work in our province, which is a good news story for all Nova Scotians.” 

  Sue Smith, CEO and Registrar of the Nova Scotia College of Nursing

  New Ontario-OINP Quota For 2023 Increases By 7,50020 March 2023, 11:29 AM EDT

  Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) provincial nomination quota increases by around 70% for 2023.

  For 2023 quota increases to 16,500 as compared to only 9,750 in 2022 and 9,000 in 2021.

  This allocation for Ontario in 2023 makes up 36% of the total national allocation for provincial nominations.

  Federal government immigration department allots number of nominations per year to all the provinces.

  Recently, Alberta also announced that their provincial nomination quota also increases by 50% for 2023.

  Ontario has been repeatedly calling on the Federal government to increase Ontario PNP quota since 2021 and now it is heard.

  Furthermore, this quota is set to double by the year 2025 as per the OINP official press release on March 18, 2023.

  So, the province will have more than 18,000 slots available under the OINP in 2025.

  Year	OINP Quota
  2025	18,361
  2024	~17,000
  2023	16,500
  2022	9,750
  2021	9,000

  As per official Ontario data, there were around 300,000 open jobs in December 2022 and this new increase will help in addressing the labour gap.

  In 2022, Ontario exhausted all of its allotted number of 9,750 immigrants under the OINP, including 3,900 skilled trades employees, 2,200 software and IT professionals, and approximately 100 nurses and personal support workers.

  Focus Shift Towards Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

  Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are operated by each of the province in Canada, but annual nomination allocation is provided IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada).

  During pandemic, IRCC halted the Federal Express Entry all program draws and only held the PNP draws.

  So, applicants started focusing on different PNPs across Canada. Now that Express Entry is moving towards the targeted draws this year, the focus tends to remain on provincial nominations.

  As per immigration levels plan of 2023, PNPs have target of 105,500 as compared to only 82,800 for the Express Entry.

  Moreover, provincial nomination adds 600 extra points to Express Entry profiles making it almost 100% to be selected in the next draw.

  So far, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, and Ontario has announced that their annual PNP allocation has been increased.

  More than 40% increase in provincial nominations is expected for other provinces as well.

  Foreign Workers in Canada as well as skilled workers outside Canada should assess their profile merits for different provincial nominee programs for better prospects.

  New Announcement To Help Immigrant Workers

  Today, Ontarian labour and immigration minister announce the Working for Workers Act of 2023, if passed would maintain its national leadership in offering ground-breaking rights for employees.

  Changes to the Act, which were announced today, will increase safeguards for vulnerable and migratory workers by introducing the highest possible sanctions in Canada for organizations.

  Furthermore, individuals found guilty of withholding a foreign national’s work permit or passport will be fined between $100,000 and $200,000.

  With the help of legislation today, these penalties might be enhanced, meaning that these criminals would soon have to pay millions of dollars in fines for their unlawful conduct.

  In addition to the penalty for each passport, anyone found guilty of keeping their passports would also face a fine of up to $500,000, a sentence of up to 12 months in jail, or both.

  Companies found guilty might face fines of up to $1 million.

  The maximum penalties for businesses found guilty of violating the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) will rise from $1.5 million to $2 million if the government’s proposed revisions are approved.

  As a result, Ontario would have the largest possible corporate penalties under Canadian occupational health and safety laws.

  The government increased the maximum punishment for individuals to $500,000 and for corporate directors to $1,500,000 last spring.

  Canada Announces New Open Work Permit For Turkish & Syrian Nationals18 March 2023, 7:32 PM EDT

  Today, immigration minister of Canada, the Honourable Sean Fraser announced new measures to support Turkish and Syrian temporary residents.

  Effective from March 29, 2023 nationals of Türkiye and Syria will benefit from below listed new measures:

  • extension of temporary status (study, work or visitor) within Canada free of charge.
  • priority processing of immigration applications submitted by earthquake victims
  • new open work permit of up to 3 years for temporary residents already in Canada.
  • easier transition between temporary residents statuses.
  • no requirement of passports and travel document requirements for the Canadian permanent residence applicants outside Canada.
  • For Canadian citizens and permanent residents in Turkey and Syria, there will be no costs for temporary passports, passports with restricted validity, emergency travel papers, Canadian citizenship certificates, or permanent resident travel documents.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKLlkP_Pz0s&t=1170s

  Applications for temporary residency from the impacted areas, both new and old, as well as applications for permanent residence, including applications for refugee resettlement, are all being processed on a priority basis.

  This includes requests for visiting visas for members of a person’s immediate family who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents so they can visit their loved ones.

  The purpose of these new immigration measures announced today is to assist Turkish and Syrian temporary residents who may not be able to leave Canada at this time owing to the devastation caused by the recent earthquakes in the area.

  Over 16,000 applicants have applications being processed in Turkey and Syria as of February 8, 2023.

  Among them, about 1,700 (750 permanent residents and 920 temporary residents) came from the earthquake-affected region.

  These new measures will stay in effect until September 25, 2023.

  As part of its resettlement programme, Canada is also collaborating with UN partners in the region to offer temporary housing to refugees who have been negatively affected while they wait for their applications to be reviewed.

  IRCC backlog drops to 910,400 despite increase in new applications18 March 2023, 11:48 AM EDT

  IRCC backlog drops by around 64,000 as per new official data updated by the Canadian immigration department on March 17.

  IRCC backlog now stands at 910,400 which is an all-time low number since the processing woes started in pandemic.

  This reduction in IRCC backlog has been registered along all the business lines including Citizenship(-7.2%), Permanent residency(-3.78%), and temporary residency(-8.28%).

  Furthermore, there has been increase of 82,300 in new immigration applications as of February 28, 2023.

  Canada immigration department was processing 1,052,200 files within IRCC service standards in the end of last month.

  In total, IRCC was processing 1,962,600 immigration/visa applications as of February 28.

  Date	Backlog	Total Applications Under Processing
  February 28, 2023	910,400	1,962,600
  January 31, 2023	974,600	1,944,500
  December 31, 2022	918,300	1,973,800

  September 30, 2022	1,322,500	2,610,700

  It is important to note that IRCC backlog data and service standard data are different as explained below.

  For example, if the typical processing period for spousal sponsorship is 12 months, an application that is being processed within 12 months is “NOT” a backlog. Instead, it will be treated as regular processing.

  But, if it surpasses the 12-month service threshold, then only it should be regarded a backlog.

  The IRCC aims to process 80% of applications within these service standards. Learn more about IRCC service standards.

  New Updated IRCC Processing Times As Of March 1415 March 2023, 10:21 AM EDT

  This page lists the latest processing times reported by the IRCC as of March 14, 2023, as well as a comparison to the previous week’s processing timings.

  For more than a year, we have been recording and analyzing the processing times for our readers, which are officially updated weekly by the IRCC.

  Please read the following information carefully to properly understand what these processing durations represent.

  In early 2022, the IRCC modified its processing tool to offer accurate statistics on regular processing times rather than only service standard timeframes.

  These processing timelines are meant to provide potential immigrants and visa applicants to Canada an indication of how long it may take for a decision to be reached on their application.

  These times are based on information obtained over the last 6 months for 80% of previously processed applications and are meant to offer the most recent weekly processing timings.

  This does not imply that your application will be processed in the same amount of time.

  Because it is an average of the processing times for 80% of the applications, so processing of your application may take longer or shorter than displayed.

  Please note that the processing time begins when the application is received by IRCC and concludes when the immigration officer determines whether to accept or reject it.

  Canada Spousal Sponsorship Refusal Reasons That You Must Avoid13 March 2023, 11:01 AM EDT

  As per new Immigration levels plan 2023-2025, Canada is aiming to reunite more than 240,000 couples via spousal sponsorship.

  IRCC has service standard of processing 80% of the spousal sponsorship applications within 12 months.

  However, IRCC has not yet recovered from pandemic backlog completely. The current processing time for inland spousal sponsorship is 13 months and for outland it is still 16 months.

  Spousal sponsorship is designed to reunite couples allowing them to live together permanently in Canada.

  Furthermore, there is no education or language proficiency requirement for spouses.

  However, the application needs to be genuine and applicant must present all the documentation accurately to prove it so.

  Although, all the applicants proceed cautiously, but still many get refusal due to one reason or another.

  This article delves into 10 common refusal reasons that can be avoided to ensure that at least application is not rejected due to one of these.

  https://immigrationnewscanada.ca/inland-vs-outland-canada-spousal-sponsorship-applications/

  1. Inadmissibility

  Applicants who are found to be inadmissible due to criminal or medical reasons can have their sponsorship application refused.

  For e.g., if the spouse have had a DUI (Driving Under Influence) conviction in their home country, then they might be considered criminally inadmissible.

  You can read more on these here

  • Criminal Inadmissibility
  • Medical Inadmissibility

  2. Lack of Genuine Relationship

  The application may be denied if the immigration officer feels that the connection between the sponsor and the sponsored spouse is not real or was entered into for immigration purposes.

  Ironically, many spousal sponsorship applications get rejected because their application fails to establish a genuine relationship.

  As a result, they have to then appeal the refusal which can take some time to get through. Long appeal durations have also taken toll onto the breakdown of relationship for many families.

  So, it is always advisable to submit your application upfront with full strength.

  3. Misrepresentation

  The application may be declined if the sponsor or sponsored spouse gives incorrect information or misrepresents oneself throughout the application procedure.

  Lying or sending false information or documents to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is a severe offence.

  Furthermore, some applicants unknowingly may provide incorrect date or just an estimated date. If IRCC finds out that it is incorrect, then that applicant falls under misrepresentation.

  Even if your unauthorized agent or consultant fills out incorrect information due to a clerical error, then also applicants are considered to be misrepresenting on their application.

  4. Insufficient supporting documents

  Failure to provide sufficient or suitable supporting documentation, such as marriage certificates, pictures, and shared financial records, might result in a denial.

  Additionally, even a slight doubt of forged document (even if they are original) due to inconsistencies can result in refusal of spousal sponsorship.

  Always remember, onus is on the applicants to prove that their relationship is genuine by providing strong paperwork which is consistent with each other.

  5. Unsatisfactory Financial support

  The sponsor must show that they have enough money to support their spouse once they arrive in Canada.

  If they do not give appropriate financial support proofs, the application may be denied.

  This can be in the form of pay stubs or balance in the saving account.

  Always remember sponsoring spouse has 3 years of financial obligation and immigration officer do assess the financial situation of the sponsor.

  6. Providing Inconsistent Answers in Interview

  Immigration officer may call some sponsored spouses for an interview to clear out the doubts in application or just to establish if relationship is genuine.

  This is a good chance for the sponsored spouse to satisfy the officer by provided correct and accurate answers.

  Remember lies are always caught based on the answers that you provide or may result in inconsistencies.

  In interviews, officer expects you to know almost all the details of your spouse including important dates and background.

  7. Not Declaring all the dependents

  It is important to declare all the dependents on the application. Furthermore, always declare your non-accompanying family members on family information form accurately.

  The application may be denied if the sponsor fails to declare all of their dependents in their application or if their financial assistance is judged insufficient for all dependents.

  8. Proof of Residency

  The sponsor must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada. Furthermore, they should be residing in Canada to submit a sponsorship application.

  If they are unable to show adequate proof of residency, their application could be refused.

  9. Previous Sponsorship Defaults

  If a sponsor has previously failed to fulfil a sponsorship commitment, they may be judged ineligible to sponsor again.

  Furthermore, the spouse is not be able to sponsor their partner, if previous sponsorship undertaking has not yet ended.

  10. Incomplete Application

  Always remember that an application can also be refused if the application form is incomplete or if the required fees are not paid, or if sufficient information is not provided.

  Immigration officer always have the discretion of refusing an application or they may ask for additional documents.

  So, submit your application with caution ensuring you are not leaving out any information.
