Immigration Process
There are two methods of immigrating to Canada where a valid job offer exists. The first option is to apply for a ‘Temporary Foreign Worker’ permit which allows an employer to offer and validate employment for up to two years. The job offer must be validated by Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC). Validation by HRSDC ensures that the employer has made reasonable efforts to employ a qualified Canadian, but none are available. The federal government’s policy establishes that Canadians must have first opportunity at employment openings and not be displaced by a foreign worker. The second immigration option is to apply for permanent landed immigrant status. The individual applying receives priority because a valid job awaits them. Entry into Canada is then permanent and the landed individual and their immediate family members may apply for citizenship after three years residence. Although this approach may appear to be better the processing time is significantly longer due to the security and personal checks that are required. WorldWide HealthStaff Associates Ltd. (HealthStaff) has taken the approach that the best method for both the employer and the worker candidate is the temporary worker approach. There tends to be less complication in the application process and the worker will normally arrive in Canada much faster. In addition, the Canada Immigration Act changed in 2002 allowing temporary foreign workers to apply for landed status from within Canada. This means a temporary worker may apply for landed status as soon as they enter Canada . This allows the worker to begin employment sooner and gain the advantages of living in Canada while their application is being processed. In order to facilitate the immigration process, HealthStaff oversees and monitors the process for both the worker and the employer. By having the applicants assign HealthStaff as their representative we are able to communicate directly with HRSDC, Immigration Canada and the Canadian Embassies and Consulates on the status of your application. This removes a major burden from both parties and allows our experts to provide the service for you. In order for you to apply for entry into Canada you must complete the necessary Canada Immigration forms. If you are applying for temporary foreign worker status you will find the forms in their website at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/work.asp. If you are applying for landed immigrant status please use the forms available in their website at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp. Once again, we will recommend which process is better for you given the job opportunity and processing times. We ask that you download the forms, complete them including the form assigning HealthStaff as your representative and forward the forms to us. We will ensure the forms are completed appropriately and forward them to the necessary Embassy for processing. We will track the process and keep you informed of the timelines and any issues that may arise. It is very important that you assign us as your representative so that we may do the work for you. WorldWide HealthStaff Associates Ltd. works closely with each applicant in the preparation, submission and tracking of their immigration applications. Our experienced staff is able to answer questions and to provide accurate and realistic information. Applicants will not require the services of an immigration attorney, as WorldWide HealthStaff Associates Ltd. manages the immigration process from the initial application to issuance of the visa. |
