We will launch new pilot programs to better meet the needs of caregivers and the families they support in Canada. The new pilot programs will grant permanent residence status to caregivers on arrival in Canada and allow them to pursue other jobs at any time. More info: bit.ly/3Kz1Zb7

The new pilot programs will replace the Home Child Care Provider Pilot Program and the Home Support Worker Pilot Program, which are closing on June 19, 2024.

Be careful whom you go to for help! Only authorized representatives can charge you a fee to help you with your immigration or citizenship application.

If you use a representative who’s not licensed in Canada, we may return your application or refuse it.

Document fraud is a serious crime in Canada.

It is against the law to lie or send false information or documents to IRCC. It’s called misrepresentation and can involve either falsifying or altering documents, such as:
• Passports and travel documents
• Visas
• Diplomas, degrees and apprenticeship or trade papers
• Certificates of birth, marriage, final divorce, annulment, separation or death
• Police certificates

You are responsible for all the information in your application, even if a representative fills it out for you. If you send false documents or information, we can refuse your application and forbid you from entering Canada for at least 5 years, among other consequences.

Case Scenario: I’m banned for 5 years to Canada due to mispresentation. Are there any chances to remove the ban?

Mike Webster's answer: Nope. Thankfully not. On top of that you will stand virtually no chance of ever entering Canada ever again. You have proven yourself to be untrustworthy. And once the ban is up, it will be a glaring red flag in any application you ever make. Further, it will also likely kee...

Student Permit Applicants 👀👀 here!

Updates to financial requirements starting January 1, 2024

IRCC updated the financial requirements for study permit applicants. This change applies to new study permit applications received on or after January 1, 2024. The new amounts reflect updated cost-of-living requirements. These requirements will be adjusted each year as Statistics Canada updates the low-income cut-off.

Another Student Permit Approval ‼️

‼️ International Students ‼️

Starting January 1, 2024, the cost-of-living financial requirement for study permit applicants will be raised to ensure that international students are better prepared for life in Canada. This threshold will be adjusted each year, similarly to other immigration programs. Learn more: canada.ca/en/immigration…

For 2024, a single applicant will need to show they have $20,635 in addition to their first year of tuition and travel costs. This change will apply to new study permit applications received on or after January 1, 2024.

In addition, Minister Miller has provided an update on three temporary policies that were set to expire at the end of 2023, including the following:

· International students already in Canada, as well as applicants who have already submitted an application for a study permit as of December 7, 2023, will be able to work off-campus for more than 20 hours per week until April 30, 2024.

· The measure that has allowed international students to count time spent studying online towards the length of a future post-graduation work permit, as long as it constitutes less than 50% of the program of study, will continue to be in place for students who begin a study program before September 1, 2024.

· A temporary policy was introduced on three occasions to provide an additional 18-month work permit to post-graduation work permit holders as their initial work permit was expiring. Foreign nationals with a post-graduation work permit expiring up to December 31, 2023, remain eligible to apply. However, this temporary policy will not be extended further.
