News Release - First Parent and Grandparent Super Visa issued two weeks after launch

Ottawa, December 19, 2011 - The first Parent and Grandparent Super Visa has already been issued, Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Inmigration and Multiculturalism announced today.

"We pledged to process the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa in less than eight weeks," the Minister noted. "We've issued the first of the Super Visas in just two weeks and we remain conmitted to reuniting farrilies through the Super Visa in a timely manner."

The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa was launched as an option for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents looking to visit their farrilies in Canada for an extended period of time. The process for getting a Super Visa is simple and straightforward. Super Visa seekers use the same application form as applicants for the standard six-month visitor visa. Applicants for the Super Visa must also subrrit proof that the host child or grandchild meets a minimum income, demonstrate that they have purchased comprehensive Canadian medical insurance and undergo the Inmigration Medical Examination.

The first Super Visa was issued at the Canadian rnsslon in Manila on December 14, 2011, only two weeks after CIC began accepting applications.

"With the Super Visa, we have taken a common sense approach that allows parents and grandparents to spend extended periods of time with their loved ones in Canada, while at the same time, acting responsibly in protecting Canadian taxpayers," Minister Kenney added. "I'm pleased that the response to this program has been so positive."

Until the Super Visa was launched on December 1, 2011, visitors to Canada usually could only visit for six months at a time and visitors who wished to stay longer had to apply for extensions and pay a new fee every six months. With the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa, eligible parents and grandparents will pay fewer fees and have greater certainty that they will be able to enjoy the company of their families in Canada for a longer period of time.

USCIS Proposes Significant Enhancements to EB-5 Processing

US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) proposed significant enhancements to the EB5 Program or USCIS Immigrant Investor Program. It will transform the intake and review process for foreign entrepreneurs as part of US President Obama’s commitment to improve the legal immigration system while meeting the economic and security needs of the USA.

Three fundamental changes have been proposed:

1.    Accelerate the processing of applications for job-creating projects that are fully developed and ready to be implemented. Applicants may opt to request “Premium Processing Service” which guarantees 15-day processing for an additional fee.
2.    Creation of new specialized intake teams who are experts in economic analysis and the EB5 requirements. Applicants will be able to communication with the said team via email to discuss issues and address their concerns.
3.    Convene and expert Decision Board” to deliver decisions regarding EB5 applications. The board will be composed of an economist, adjudicators and a support legal counsel.

This proposal will be online until June 17, 2011 – open for public comment giving stakeholders the opportunity to provide their feedback.

TFW Certified in Alberta Trades can now apply for Permanent Residency

 

Effective immediately, skilled temporary foreign workers with certification in Alberta’s optional trades can apply directly to Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) for permanent residency instead of having their employers nominate them. To be able to cope with the coming labor shortages as the economies in different countries dictate higher demands for people with the same skills, Alberta is in need of skilled workers who can live in the province permanently.

 

This new policy will allow Alberta to nominate qualified tradespeople in in demand occupations. In 2011, Alberta can only nominate 5,000 people since the federal government limits the number of nominations that the province can put forth.

 

Presently, there are 50 designated trades- 31 of which are in the optional trades and 19 fall under compulsory trades- See List. For details on how to qualify for AINP Optional Trades Category, Click Here.

 

This change will simplify the process for temporary foreign workers from both trades in applying for permanent residency.
