Canada’s Compassionate Response: Temporary Public Policy for Extended Family Affected by the Crisis in Gaza in 2024

Author: Cassandra Fultz, RCIC Date: 2024/01/09

In the face of the ongoing crisis in Gaza, Canada has demonstrated its commitment to compassion and support by introducing a temporary public policy. This initiative is specifically designed to extend a helping hand to certain extended family members of Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents (PRs) significantly affected by the crisis. In this article, we explore the details of this policy, its eligibility criteria, and the broader impact it aims to achieve during these challenging times.

The policy is tailored to address the unique circumstances of families directly affected by the crisis. Eligible individuals include certain extended family members who can now apply for Canadian temporary resident visas (specifically, fee-exempt open work permits or study permits). The aim is to ease the burden on those seeking refuge and support and recognize the importance of family unity during times of distress. The Government of Canada will start accepting applications for people with extended family connections to Canada, including parents, grandparents, siblings, and grandchildren. This public policy comes into effect on January 9, 2024.

Eligibility for Canada’s temporary visa for Gaza residents with Canadian relatives includes:

Extended Family Members: Siblings, grandparents, and other close relatives of Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
Proof of Relationship: Documentation verifying the familial connection with the Canadian relative.
Financial Stability: Evidence of sufficient financial resources to support themselves during their stay.
Background Checks: Successful completion of necessary security and background checks.

Time-limited medical coverage. In order to support their immediate medical needs upon arrival, permanent residents, family members of permanent residents, and Canadian citizens who arrived in Canada after their assisted departure from Gaza may be eligible to apply online for time-limited medical coverage under the Interim Federal Health Program.

Canada’s response to the crisis in Gaza through this temporary public policy reflects a profound gesture of compassion. By opening its doors to family members affected by the crisis, Canada is providing a supportive and welcoming environment during times of uncertainty. The policy serves as a symbol of solidarity and empathy, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to standing alongside those facing adversity.

Set out on your adventure and get your paperwork ready so you can reunite your family in Canada and apply for a new Canadian visa. We at Doherty Fultz Immigration are dedicated to supporting your application for the new Canadian visa so you can bring your family together.

From The Gulf To The Maple Land: Traveling To Canada From A Gulf Nation

Author: Cassandra Fultz, RCIC Date: 2023/12/05

If you’re a temporary resident in one of the following countries (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, or Bahrain) and have submitted a Canadian visa that was refused, you are probably familiar with one of these two sentences, or both:

”I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay based on your immigration status outside your country of nationality or habitual residence.”

”I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, based on the limited employment prospects in your country of residence.”

After the second refusal, you request the GCMS notes and the officer will usually assert the same statement. And without enough insight, you submit a third application, which also gets refused. You then seek professional help after the third time, and like magic, your application gets approved.

But it is not magic. It is simply the experience gained from working on hundreds of similar applications from similar regions.

Let’s Start With the Basics

What does it even mean that the officer is concerned about your Canadian residency status and employment prospects when you have a valid Iqama, have been living in Dubai or Abqaiq for many years, and have a job with an indefinite contract with your employer?

First, let’s take a look at some numbers.

According to data released by the IRCC, approval rates for Study Permit applications submitted from the UAE rose from 59% in 2019 to 62% in 2021—a modest rise of 3%. Similarly, a slight increase of 1% is seen in applications submitted from Kuwait. However, a downward trend continued between 2019 and 2021 in other Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, where a 5% decrease in approval rate was noted.

To put this into context, the approval rate for Brunei, a country in the same region, rose significantly from 70% to 88% in the same time period. Similarly, Iraq – the seventh Gulf nation – saw an increase of 14% in the approval rate of SPs between 2019 and 2021.

When applicants from this region reach out to immigration consultants for assistance after a flurry of refusals, one of the most common questions they ask is:

Will my approval chance increase if I apply from my home country?

While this may likely increase the possibility of approval, why spend thousands of dollars travelling back to Pakistan or the Philippines when there is just a chance that the right approach taken by a professional will make your Canadian study dream come true, or simply a chance at gazing at the wonders of the Niagara Falls?

Now that you know that you still stand a chance even if you apply from Abu Dhabi or Riyadh, it is pertinent to understand the basis of your refusal before proceeding to submit a new Canadian application or seeking a judicial review.

Before submitting a new application altogether or making the decision to appeal your refusal, you need to first request what is called the GCMS notes. These notes are a post-mortem of your application, and they give you, [in most cases] a deeper insight into how the decision was made on your application.

An example of what an officer would write in their notes for an application refused by the Gulf is:

“Considering the current economic reforms in the KSA (Saudization), “I am not satisfied that the PA has strong future employment prospects in the KSA…”

What you will quickly notice from this analysis is that the same kind of policy also exists in the UAE, called Emiratisation. Now you understand why your tax-free income and investments worth thousands of dollars will not solely influence the decision on your application, simply because IRCC examines applications holistically.

What Are the Steps I Can Take to Overcome This Barrier?

First, you need to find out why your application was refused. Sometimes, the reasons go beyond what is in the refusal letter you received. Your answer is what you requested from the IRCC.

Then, you can make the decision to either re-submit your application with more extensive documentation that will prove beyond doubt that you will leave after your temporary status expires, or you can seek for a judicial review if you believe that your application already has more than substantial documents to convince a judge.

How Can We Help at Doherty Fultz Immigration?

As immigration consultants with extensive experience in overcoming visa refusals from this region, our representatives will review your previous application(s) [or your situation if you’re a first-time applicant] through a video conference and will use this information to tailor a strategy based on your specific needs.

No two applications are the same; hence, what will work for your colleague who has shared a desk with you since you both arrived in Qatar from the same hometown may not work for your own application.

Study Permit – Statement of Purpose – Best Practices

Author: Cassandra Fultz, RCIC Date: 2023/11/16

A study permit ‘Statement of Purpose’, otherwise known as a Study Plan, is a letter that is drafted by the applicant of a study permit. The letter outlines the purpose of study and explains to the officer what the applicant’s plans are for their future and why they have chosen to study at that particular school, college, or university.

There are many do’s and don’ts about a study plan. They should never be overlooked, as they can be the cause of many reasons for refusal. Refusal letters often appear with the following:

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay, as stipulated in subsection 216(1) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.

This generally means that they are not convinced that you are a genuine student and are not entirely happy with your SOP.

SOP best practices:

DOs:

Make sure your study plan is not an example of your final thesis! 2–3 pages should be enough to put forth your plans and future endeavours.
Write it yourself.
Use a spell checker
Be concise
It should preferably be typed, but if handwritten, make it neat and sign.
Use the study permit questionnaire provided in the document checklist
Outline the research you carried that caused you to arrive at the decision to choose your college or university and to choose Canada as your study destination
Include all family you have in your country of residence. Family ties are extremely important
Be sure to include all your educational history. Even that 2-month night school course is important and shows your intent on education and learning
Finish with a summary. This gives you the opportunity to thank the reader for their time.

DON’T:

Use a question-and-answer format
Try to be too clever. Stick to the facts
Employ a professional to write it for you. This is misrepresentation and can result in a refusal
Include information that you cannot verify
Lie or embellish the truth
Show outbursts of emotions, including: anger or annoyance if you have been refused before, rudeness, wittiness, etc.

Finally, here are a few tips to get started with your Canadian Study Plan:

Understand your program and how it aligns with your future goals
Show your understanding of a study permit as a type of temporary residency by letting the officer know that you intend on going back to your country of residency after your studies
Don’t copy and paste the SOP you submitted to your school, college, or university for admission. They serve different purposes.
Be prepared to compare your program in Canada with its equivalent in your country of residence (or home country, if they are different)
Avoid mentioning that you want to stay back in Canada after your studies! While this is allowed (per the law regarding Dual Intent), avoid it

Canada is renowned for its world-class education, multicultural environment, and post-graduation opportunities. Whether you’re eyeing a degree, diploma, or certificate, a Canadian study permit is your gateway to a transformative learning experience.

Invitation Letters For TRV’s And Visitor Records. Why Do Invitation Letters Matter?

Author: Cassandra Fultz, RCIC Date: 2023/11/14

If you are dreaming of exploring the beauty of Canada, attending special events, or reuniting with loved ones, then a well-crafted invitation letter can be the key to turning your travel aspirations into reality. In this article, we delve into the essential role of Invitation Letters for Temporary Resident Visas (TRVs) and Visitor Records, unlocking a world of possibilities.

Understanding the nuances of invitation letters can be a game-changer in your journey toward obtaining a TRV or Visitor Record. We’re here to demystify the process, share tips, and empower you to present a compelling case to Canadian immigration authorities.

The difference between a TRV and a Visitor Record

A Canadian TRV (temporary resident visa) also known as a Visitor Visa, is issued to citizens of countries that require a visa to enter Canada. It is a sticker that takes up the whole page of your passport. It has an issuance date (date you must arrive in Canada) and an expiration date (this is not the expiration date of your stay in Canada). The TRV is issued automatically when you apply to work or study in Canada for the first time. If you are applying just to visit, then the visa is valid for up to 6 months.

A Canadian Visitor Record is a paper document that is issued when you request to extend your stay in Canada.

The document has an issuance date and an expiration date by which you must leave Canada.

Letter content for a TRV

If you are inviting someone to come and visit you in Canada, then you are required to write a letter of invitation.

This letter plays a very important part in the application. Not only are you giving personal assurances about someone’s credibility, but you are also confirming the information they have written in their own personal letter of explanation.

The letter should include the following:

Your name, age, address and telephone number
Your status in Canada
Your job title and place of work
Your relationship with the applicant
Where the applicant will stay during their visit
Who will be financing the applicant during their visit?
Purpose of the trip and length of the stay
The applicant’s full name, age, address and telephone number

Sometimes, you are required to have this letter. The letter does not need to be more than 1-2 pages. The letter can be handwritten or typed, but it should be signed and dated.

2. Letter content for a Visitor Record

The invitation letter for a visitor record will be slightly different than one for a TRV. It’s different because the invitee is already here in Canada. They are requesting to be authorized to extend their stay, so the invitee is informing IRCC that they will continue to reside with them for the duration of their stay. They will continue to cover their expenses, support them while they remain in Canada, and explain why the applicant needs to extend their stay. You will not need to have this letter notarized. This letter should not be longer than 1 page and, again, can be handwritten or typed but must be signed.

The importance of an invitation letter

The invitation letter is not mandatory. Sometimes it is not possible to get an invitation letter. This will not mean that your application will immediately be refused; however, providing an invitation letter gives purpose to the applicant’s visit to Canada. It gives some gravitas to the application and clearly outlines the reasons for the visit.

It proves to the officer that you have someone who will be supporting you while you visit Canada. This can help to strengthen your application.

Iceland and Canada Have Signed a Youth Mobility Agreement

Author: Cassandra Fultz, RCIC Date: 2023/08/08

After the signing of the Youth agreement with UK, Canada has signed a new one with Iceland. The Canadian and Icelandic governments have launched a new chance for Canadian and Icelandic youngsters to get foreign experience as part of a commitment to improve global possibilities for young residents. The recently agreed-upon Youth Mobility Arrangement seeks to advance global ideas and experience while also reaffirming the nations’ shared commitment to youth development and enhancing bilateral connections.

Under this agreement, young people between the ages of 18 and 30 from Canada and Iceland can exchange employment and travel opportunities for up to 12 months through International Experience Canada or its Icelandic counterpart, with the option to extend the experience for another 12 months.

The new agreement will go into effect in 2024 once all conditions have been satisfied, according to the governments of Canada and Iceland. When searching for jobs and vacation opportunities abroad, Canadian teenagers will have more possibilities than ever.

What is an IEC?

Youth can travel and work in Canada for up to two years through International Experience Canada (IEC). Three separate employment and travel opportunities are available:

Working holiday – The type of Canadian work visa you receive for Working Holiday is an open work permit, which permits you to work in Canada for nearly any company (with few restrictions). For some positions, you may be required to undergo a medical examination before beginning employment.
Young Professionals – You receive an employer-specific work permit if you fall under the Young Professionals category. Your Canadian employer is required to adhere to all labour regulations, including minimum wage standards, in the province or territory where you want to work.
International Co-op (Internship) – You will receive an employer-specific work visa if you fall under the international co-op (internship) category. Your proposed internship in Canada must be closely related to your area of study.

Citizens or partner countries can apply for one of the mentioned categories, and for the rest of them which are not they can apply to IEC through a recognized organization.

The Canadian Government Announces a New PR Route To Reunite Ukrainian Families

Author: Cassandra Fultz, RCIC Date: 2023/07/24

Families torn apart by this crisis continue to receive unflinching support and a lifeline from Canada, including through the new family reunion pathway that will assist Ukrainian families to remain together.

The Canadian federal government has started a new immigration program that would grant Canadian permanent resident status to Ukrainians who have fled their war-torn nation and are already living in Canada. Through this family reunion pathway, which will assist Ukrainian families to stay together while they rebuild their lives in their new communities in Canada.

Starting on October 23, 2023, this new route will provide anyone who wishes to stay in Canada that have escaped Russia’s unlawful invasion permanent residence. Ukrainian nationals must have at least one family member residing in Canada and be a temporary resident. Ukrainian spouses, common-law partners, parents, grandparents, siblings, and children or grandchildren of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident are among those who are eligible. In-depth details will be made available closer to the program’s October debut. Ukrainians with temporary resident status who have one or more family members residing in Canada will also be eligible.

Once in Canada, temporary residents will be able to apply for Canadian open work permits and Canadian study permits, which will all be given priority, to extend their stay for up to three years. Additionally, they will have access to settlement programs including employment assistance and language instruction.

Over 166,000 Ukrainians have received temporary refuge under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) since its inception in March 2022.

Families that qualify to immigrate to Canada may be sponsored by Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Applications must be filed using the standard procedure. Applications will be given priority by IRCC if the family member you are supporting is:

Ukrainian national outside Canada and one of the following family members:

your spouse or common-law or conjugal partner
your dependent child (including adopted children)

Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel

(CUAET) is only one of the several unique initiatives the Canadian government has put in place to assist the Ukrainian people. It provides free, prolonged temporary status to Ukrainians and their families, enabling them to live, work, and study in Canada until it is secure for them to return home.

Up to July 15, 2023, Ukrainians and members of their families were able to apply for a CUAET visa abroad. Applications that are submitted before the deadline will still be processed.

The exceptional measures will allow CUAET holders to enter Canada up to March 31, 2024. Holders of CUAETs who are already in Canada will have until March 31, 2024, at no cost, to extend or modify their temporary status.

Ukrainians who applied for temporary resident status from overseas under the current programs are subject to fees and the usual conditions after July 16, 2023.

Families have until October 22, 2024 to apply for the new track to permanent residency, which needs no financial investment.

Canada: New Announcement Will Benefit H-1B Visa Holders and Their Families

Author: Cassandra Fultz, RCIC Date: 2023/06/29

There are currently approximately 10.000 American H-1B visa holders and with no automatic path to permanent residence in America. Canada’s latest news is certainly turning heads. Canada Immigration Minister Sean Fraser on Tuesday announced that the government will create an open work-permit stream to allow H-1B visa holders to come and work in the country. Those who are eligible for a Canadian work permit through Canada’s Ministry of Immigration will also be able to apply for Canadian work permits and Canadian study permits for their family members. Visa holders in the US and their immediate families will be able to apply to come to Canada and work starting on July 16, 2023. According to the official statement from Canada’s Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, many employees in high-tech industries are employed by businesses that have sizable operations in both Canada and the US, and a sizable percentage of them are in possession of H-1B specialty occupation visas in the US.

The candidates who are accepted under this new scheme will receive an open work visa good for up to three years, according to the official statement. Their spouses and dependents will also be qualified to apply for a Canadian temporary residence visa with a Canadian work permits or Canadian study permits, as needed. They will have the freedom to work for any employer across Canada.

What is the H-1B visa?

A nonimmigrant work visa called the H-1B enables American firms to recruit foreigners with particular talents to work in the country for a certain amount of time. The positions often ask for a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. Jobs that are eligible for the H-1B visa are frequently found in industries including technology, finance, engineering, architecture, and more.

Who is eligible for the H1B visa:

If you have a valid job offer from a U.S. employer for a role that requires specialty knowledge
If you have proof of a bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in that field
Your employer must show that there is a lack of qualified U.S. applicants for the role

You might need to register with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and be accepted to apply before you can enter the country and start working under the H-1B classification. There is just a 14-day registration window each year. You cannot apply for an H-1B visa if you do not register and your profession is not excluded from the quota.

Author: Cassandra Fultz, RCIC Date: 2023/06/07

13 additional countries are now welcomed to a visa free entry into Canada from today’s announcement given by the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Sean Fraser. If a visitor from the new list of eligible countries has held a Canadian visa in the past 10 years or presently holds a valid United States non-immigrant visa, they can now apply for an eTA instead of a visa when traveling to Canada.

With these changes it will make the trip to Canada for those now eligible, quicker, simpler, and more economical.
