Some significant guidelines for international students en route to Canada are now  available on the official website.

The federal government has delivered a guide for international students who are coming to Canada, and exploring travel limitations. 

It’s called “COVID-19:  guide for international students in Canada coming from abroad.” The government outlines the roles and duties of DLIs, provinces and regions and the government of Canada in supporting international students.

The guide is aligned with health advice from the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Here are some of the main points. International students can see the guide on the official webpage.

What to know before coming to Canada

Any international student or their following family members with symptoms of COVID-19 won’t be permitted to board their flight. In case symptoms appear after coming in Canada, a health  Canada officer will play out a screening and the person may not be permitted to enter, or moved to a hospital for a medical inspection. 

International students are permitted to come to Canada to go to school at an organization that has a Covid readiness plan. The list of approved  establishments are kept up-to- fresh on the official webpage.

International students require a study permit or study permit approval, however this isn’t a travel  permission in and of itself. Once the travel permission has been granted IRCC will speak with students. This approval might be cancelled if there are any changes in conditions at their school, or the province or region. 

To be offered admittance to come to Canada, international students need to tell the border services officer that they are entering Canada for non-optional purposes, and that they are studying at one of the approved DLIs, beside other requirements. In case they don’t complete these requirements international students might be denied entry.

Immediate family members might be permitted to go with international students. This would incorporate students’ life partners, subordinate kids, or their lawful parent or guardian if they are a minor. Family members  should also show border officers that they are travelling for a non-discretionary, non-optional cause, for example, helping the student get set up in Canada. 

Quarantine plans

International students and their accompanying family members must quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. They are required to wear a mask or face covering during travel, including to their place of quarantine.

Before coming to Canada students need to create a quarantine plan. Border officers will also think about this plan, when deciding whether the student can enter the country. 

While in quarantine, students ought to guarantee that they have individual housing, and that they surveillance themselves for symptoms. They ought to stay away from public and shared spaces. They also have to arrange to approach fundamental necessities like food and medication. Besides physical distancing,  they require to ignore contact with individuals who are at higher danger for serious ailment, for example, older adults, and people with underlying medical conditions, or who are immunocompromised.

Spots with shared living housing, for example, hostels, are not acceptable  for quarantine or segregation. International students living with other individuals, for example, with a host family or homestay supplier, will be required to self-isolate from other individuals in the housing or home. This implies having a separate bedroom and washroom if conceivable. It also implies physical separating from other household individuals and frequently disinfecting surfaces.

Minors should also go through mandatory quarantine. Parents or guardians have to guarantee that proper arrangements have been made for their kid before they leave for their home country.

Additionally, international students are asked to affirm their qualification for health-care coverage and Canada. In case they are not covered, they can gain private insurance that incorporates COVID-19 coverage before takeoff. 

The punishments for breaking quarantine can incorporate a fine of up to $750,000, and six months in prison. In case somebody causes bodily harm or danger of immediate death because of breaking quarantine, they can be fined up to $1 million, and face punishment of up to three years.

ANALYSIS: Despite the Covid pandemic, Canada is on target to break its Express Entry record. 

Canada is on pace to provide 100,000 or more Express Entry invitations in 2020. 

This would be momentous, considering the negative effect that COVID-19 is having in Canada and around the globe. 

Before Canada forced travel limitations in March 2020, immigration minister Marco Mendicino declared the country would target 341,000 new perpetual resident admissions  in 2020. 

Actually, Canada’s Immigration levels Plan 2020-2022 set an objective to welcome 91,800 migrants to Canada by Express Entry. 

Express Entry is the fundamental way Immigration, Refugees and Canada (IRCC) arranges economic class immigration applications. The economic class accounts for almost 60% of all new migrants welcomed by Canada every year. 

By the center of March, Canada acknowledged it was required to actualize particular measures to control the Covid, which meant limiting entry into the country. This has consequently in notable uncertainty for the immigration system. In April 2020, Canada’s immigration levels plummeted, and they still remain less.

Furthermore, numerous people who have previously acquired affirmations of perpetual residence (CORPs) can’t go to Canada right now for a different causes. For example, certain people have ended COPRs and can’t go to Canada. Besides, individuals who received their COPR after March 18 are presently prohibited from coming to Canada because of travel limitations. 

However, the continuing Express Entry draws that have occurred on a bi-weekly premise since the beginning of the pandemic have been a pleasant astonishment.

Though there was conviction toward the beginning of the pandemic that Express Entry draws might be temporarily stopped or they would see less invitations provided, the specific inverse has happened. 

Rather, we are seeing record-breaking Express Entry draws with Canada vehemently showing it still plans to welcome high levels of immigration after the pandemic is finished. 

On October 14, Canada held its biggest Express Entry draw ever. 

The draw marked one of only two opportunities which Canada provided Invitations to give application (ITAs) for permanent residence to 4,500 Express Entry applicants. These applicants will presently have the option to apply for permanent residence and, in case they are abroad at that time, these  applicants will  have the option to live a life in Canada once Covid travel limitations are finished for COPR holders. 

Up until now, Canada has provided 82,850 Express Entry ITAs this year. Recently, draw sizes have seen  among 3,900 and 4,200 invitations provided on every draw. 

In case things work out as per to plan, IRCC will also manage Express Entry draws on October 28, November 11, November 25, December 9, and December 23. 

In case IRCC invites 3,900 applicants in every one of the remaining five Express Entry draws by 2020, then it will provide a total of 102,350 invitations by the last of this year.

Even if draw sizes are little, and IRCC provides an average of 3,500 ITAs per draw, Canada will still now surpass 100,000 ITAs by the last of 2020.

So, what does this all mean?

Once more, it shows Canada is committed to welcoming more migrants to help its economy, in spite of the  disruptions  reasoned by COVID-19. 

It also demonstrates that IRCC trusts it will have the option to process permanent residence applications within a suitable period of time. IRCC’s processing criteria for Express Entry is 6 months or less for 80% of applications.

Any may also read in the middle of the lines and accept that the bigger draws are an indication that IRCC expects successful applicants will have the option to enter Canada in 2021, otherwise, what is the advantage of inviting them to apply for permanent residence right now?

Another chance is that IRCC is holding bigger draws since Canada has temporarily decreased its refugee intake because of the pandemic. Canada was planning to welcome almost 50,000 refugees in 2020 but this will no longer be the situation.

The bigger draws may also be a function of other economic class programs, for example, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), Quebec’s immigration programs, and other federal programs, also decreasing short of their immigration goals in 2020 because of COVID-19. 

One thing is without a doubt. That is, IRCC will furnish us with a more clear image of their Express Entry goals when they declare their 2021-2023 Immigration Levels Plan at the last of October. 

Given the current record-breaking Express Entry draws, it appears to be progressively likely that Express Entry and overall immigration goals will remain high in 2021 and beyond.

IRCC study shows results of immigrants over the initial three years of the Express Entry system

Almost all Express Entry migrants discovered job in the initial year after landing,  and, normally, outperformed immigrants who came through the past application system. 

A current Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) report saw how Express Entry migrants were faring in the Canadian labour market among 2015 and 2018.They compared consequences of the teams of people who applied by the electronic Express Entry system, and non-Express Entry immigrants who now still used the old paper-based application system.

All respondents in the study applied for immigration through either the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), or an best Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). 

Express Entry migrants saw “generally positive,” results in the three years following the start of the electronic application management system in January, 2015.Although the outcomes show  favourable results in the short period, IRCC noticed that Express Entry was drawn to choose migrants who might be successful over the long period.

Express Entry immigrants tended to have stronger results than non-Express Entry migrant in the labour market. In the initial year after immigration, 95 percent of Express Entry migrants were do employed, contrasted with 87 percent of non-Express Entry migrants who were hired in the similar time span. Of those Express Entry migrants who gain employments in the year after they migrated, around 83 percent of were working in their field of expertise. 

When breaking down migrant jobs by program, Express Entry candidates were always more chances to be employed. FSWP and CEC migrants saw the greatest rates of jobs when they applied through the Express Entry system.

Express Entry immigrants were also most probable to be employed in higher skilled occupations than non-Express Entry migrants.

One year after admission to Canada, Express Entry migrants acquired around 20% more in yearly pay rates than non Express Entry migrants. Express Entry migrants also acquired a normal of $10,200 more per year than Canadian-born laborers. 

CEC and FSTP migrants were the just one expected, because non-Express Entry migrants in these programs really acquired more after their initial year in Canada. When IRCC see at different factors, they found that the differences in earnings came from differences  in planned occupation, age, gender, education, and others.

Non-Express Entry immigrants started in lower-skilled jobs, saw more advancement

Both Express Entry and non-Express Entry migrants saw further career progression in terms of job income. Non-Express Entry migrants were more probable to report career progression, but  also that their initial employment in Canada were lower-skilled. 

More than 33% of all respondents detailed that, at the time they completed the survey, they were not working in the similar employment that they initially had in Canada. More non-Express Entry migrants(41 percent) revealed that they had changed employment, contrasted to Express Entry respondents (36 percent). 

Of the individuals who changed employment, a bigger proportion of non-Express Entry migrants (34 percent) told they had changed employments to a higher National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill level, contrasted with Express Entry migrants (24 percent).Nevertheless, Express Entry immigrants were more probable to change employment occupations within the similar NOC skill level.

Non-Express Entry respondents were more probable to start working in fewer-skilled occupations with NOC C or D. 

“Consequently, non-EE respondents in fewer skilled occupations would have more open doors for upward portability,” the report read.

Both Express Entry (83 percent) and non-Express Entry (85 percent) migrants detailed that their pay expanded between their initial employment and the employment they had at the time of the survey.

The recent Federal Express Entry draw that occurred yesterday saw the invitation of 3,200 applicants to give an application for permanent residency in Canada.

This came with a minimum CRS positioning score of 472.It has brought the total number of invitations this year to 82,000.

The tie–breaking rule for this draw occurred on the sixth of December, at 03:03:49 UTC.

Fundamentally, candidates whose CRS scores were 472 or more, and enlisted their profile in the pool before the said date will get an invitation.

The Federal Express Entry system includes three significant programs– Federal Skilled Workers (FSW), Federal Skilled Trades (FST), and Canadian experience.

Aside from all these classes, applicants don’t need an earlier job offer in Canada to give an application. Nevertheless, elements, for example, candidate’s age, education, language expertise, work experience, among others, are a very vital determinant of the CRS score.

Every time a draw happens, some elements decide the CRS benchmark. They incorporate the break between consecutive draws, the number of candidates in the pool, and the past number of ITAs.

On average, every draw happens in every two weeks.

Frequently, the normal number of invitations is 3,600, which, obviously, will include the selection of applicants further down the pool. But with the freshest 3,200 ITAs, it is clear that the range didn’t go deep down the pool.

Therefore, the result is an increase in the CRS score. As per Canada’s Immigration goal, the anticipated number of invitations for permanent residency next year is 85,800, in contrast to this year’s 81,400.

Beside from the three subdivisions of the Federal Express Entry programs, a few provinces in Canada have also built up a way of inviting permanent residents to the area. The system is called the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).

The Federal government allows these regions to choose applicants even with fewer express entry scores. A applicants who gains a PNP nomination will have an extra 600 points to their express entry profile score.

The overall PNP goal for next year is set to 67,800, a 6,800 increment from this year’s 61,000.

A sample case study is Mejil:

Mejil is a software engineer with a Master’s degree and three years of working experience. He is 31 years old and scored 8-band in the writing and listening expertise test, and 7 in reading and speaking, individually.

With no working or educational background in Canada, Mejil assessed CRS score of 472 would be enough to gain him an ITA in the just-declared draw.
