02:47the most recent successful case we had
02:49was for spousal open work permit from
02:52overseas being approved the main
02:54applicant had the PGW approved in two
02:57months this was an unusual case as the
03:00spousal open work permit was being done
03:02from overseas and
03:04took um and usually doesn't take longer
03:07than the postgraduate work from
03:09application however the main applicant
03:11was in Canada the spouse in Nigeria she
03:14had a previous spouse will open work per
03:16refusal from overseas based on financial
03:18funds while the main applicant had a
03:21study permit um valid stud per s Canada
03:26when they applied for her overseas we
03:28improved the I conditions of the
03:30financial
03:31funds for the application uh although no
03:35minimum funds are specified in the SP
03:38open work for application the main
03:40applicant was already working and held
03:42an additional job offer besides
03:44submitting several webforms and
03:46contacting the local office due to
03:48Extended processing times the main
03:50applicant also contacted the MP's office
03:52that got in touch with ircc about their
03:55case so it was a successful case we're
03:58happy about that and of course that's
04:00just the most recent case we had that
04:03was kind of unusual but uh took much
04:06longer but got approved even though that
04:08was refused originally when the
04:10applicant and their spouse on that thumb
04:13tuned into our live stream to get what's
04:16happening with ircc vincial program
04:19Service Canada and the likes in Canada
04:21well Alberta makes major changes to its
04:25provincial nominee program called the
04:27AIP Alberta advantage immigration
04:30program well I don't know if it's an
04:32advantage now maybe they should just
04:33drop one of the A and just call it
04:36AIP yeah uh that would make more sense
04:40Alber was one of the best and easiest
04:42provinces on the west coast of Canada
04:45for nominations offers of employment for
04:48potential applicants looking for
04:50Canadian Perman residency it was so easy
04:53and the eligibility was so relaxed even
04:56for ICT work permit holders however
04:59Albert Alberta realized it was just too
05:02easy and created a brand new website on
05:05March 19th
05:072024 where it explained about its new
05:10employer eligibility criteria they made
05:12a huge list of Eligibility criteria for
05:15any employer in the
05:17province that is issuing an offer of
05:19employment no matter what program it is
05:23if it's employer driven here's a high
05:25level overview of the major changes
05:28which you can read on the website which
05:29we posted on our website with this video
05:33uh after this live stream so businesses
05:36should be operational for at least two
05:38years continuously in Alberta before
05:40being able to nominate minimum revenues
05:43of the province for the last of that
05:45business for the last fiscal year should
05:47be $400,000 Canadian dollars however
05:50there's an exception to this we'll go
05:52through it minimum three time fulltime
05:55employees in Alberta for the employer
05:57who's nominating the foreign work but
06:00there's no mention whether these three
06:01full-time employees should be Canadian
06:03or not could they be International
06:05students seems so restricted nomination
06:09ratios in case the employer does not
06:10have minimum revenues of 400,000 but has
06:13a two or three more year of many years
06:16of operational history the AIP can cap
06:19employers and how many nominations they
06:22can Ure and sponsor from workers so
06:25whether they're if they're doing 400,000
06:28or less
06:30and they have been in operation for two
06:32years three years or four years the
06:34number of people they can nominate for
06:36the business will be different
06:38individuals listed as directors or
06:40shareholders of the company cannot be
06:43nominated no Homebase addresses or
06:45businesses allowed to nominate for
06:48workers for
06:49PR and then the aip's Alber opportunity
06:53stream is still on pause which was a
06:55very popular program with very low
06:58requirements and the nomination
07:00timelines is now around 6 months
07:03previously it was 45 60 days especially
07:05with Alberta opportunity stream but now
07:08you're looking at six months nomination
07:10processing time for anyone looking at
07:13AIP which is the Alberta Advantage
07:15immigration program but I think we
07:17should just call it the Alberta
07:19immigration program major changes and
07:23updates to the low wage and high wage
07:26stream of the lmia program announced by
07:29Service Canada as of March
07:3419th uh or
07:36no this was last week so I don't know
07:38the exact date but just last week this
07:40was announced as per the service C
07:43announcement effective May 1st all these
07:45changes are happening in the next let's
07:47say 33 days 34 days depending on when
07:51you're watching this live stream which
07:53has been posted so May 1st 2024 these
07:56are the new changes so any new lmis will
07:59be affected by these need changes lmis
08:03will not be valid for 12 months
08:06anymore they're going to be valid for
08:08six months this bad news for those
08:10people who are selling job offers in the
08:12market you know who you
08:15are uh all employers identified in the
08:182022 such as Hospitality food and wood
08:22manufacturing will have a reduction of
08:25their low wage cap from 30 to 20% just
08:28like everyone else except for
08:31construction and healthc Care sectors
08:32which will continue to enjoy the 30% low
08:36wage cap instead of 20 and if you don't
08:38know what that is don't worry your
08:40employer has to worry about that because
08:43if you're in the provincial low wage
08:47range the employer is limited on how
08:50many low wage lmis and vacancies they
08:53can apply for employers will need to
08:55include in the recruitment efforts and
08:57Report Asylum SE Seekers with valid work
09:00authorizations were already inside
09:02Canada so before they were only
09:04concerned for aliz on Canadian Perman
09:07residents and citizens who applied for
09:09those job postings that employers had
09:11posted on the minimum three platforms or
09:14more but now they will include you have
09:18to include Asylum Seekers with valid
09:20work permits in Canada who also applying
09:24so they have the same level as Canadians
09:27so they're making lmis more difficult
09:30right employers will also need to update
09:32and revise prevailing wages of existing
09:34for workers who are already working for
09:36them with closed work permits which were
09:39issued under the lmia program on an
09:42annual basis so this means you've done
09:45an LMI six months ago a year ago two
09:47years ago the fir worker still working
09:49for you under those conditions every
09:52year the employer has to adjust the wage
09:56that they're paying that for worker with
09:58the new prevailing wage published by the
10:00Service Canada wage bank which we're
10:02also including in the article after
10:04posting this video which means minimum
10:06the median wage for that knock code in
10:08that position has to be updated so if
10:11you were paying a certain uh wage before
10:14it's got to be updated every year and
10:17during the service can the audits
10:19they're going to check that this will
10:20make lmis less attractive for business
10:23owners in Canada Employers in Canada no
10:26more long validity
10:27lmia especially the know name on tighter
10:31restrictions on low wage lmis with a low
10:33wage cap General recruitment efforts for
10:36both High wage and low wage and PR lmis
10:39which should include Asylum Seekers now
10:42with work authorization inside Canada so
10:45we're going to
10:46preco conditions and maybe even more
10:50difficult more tight remember we're
10:52always POS about key details for new

11:08Saskatchewan's famous entrepreneur
11:10program has changed completely with
11:14major new updates in
11:172024 so I'll ask this from you okay
11:21anyone who's watching right now why was
11:23Saskatchewan entrepreneur program the
11:25most famous and popular sought after
11:29program in all of the Far East markets
11:33if you don't know I'll provide you some
11:35insight this is like a pop quiz folks it
11:37was the only entrepreneur Business
11:39program in all of Canada that did not
11:42require any proof of language ability as
11:45an eligibility criteria to be admitted
11:47to the program and to be nominated for
11:50permanent residency after running the
11:53business in the province of
11:56saskatch 98% of all app an under this
12:00program an expressions of Interest were
12:02from China Hong Kong Vietnam and similar
12:05countries due to the language exemption
12:08that the province
12:10allowed for their applicants however as
12:13of March 14th 2024 so literally 14 days
12:17ago the SAS scaton program overhauled
12:20the entire system and now has upfront
12:24language requirements of cb5 in English
12:26or French it was a shock for the entire
12:28industry
12:29and Far Eastern clients for sure had
12:32existing expressions of profiles in the
12:34SNP which is the saskat immigration
12:36nomin program it seems like the spp was
12:39Fed Up and decided to stop this flow of
12:43business entrepreneurs with little or no
12:45English or French ability and many
12:48people were taking advantage of the fact
12:50that it was only for six months that
12:52they needed to run the business then be
12:53nominated and then perhaps they may have
12:56left the province after they received
12:59their PR so the province figured this
13:01out got fed up and here are the major
13:04changes to the SAS scaton provincial
13:06nominee entrepreneur stream which was
13:11one of the most popular and sought after
13:12programs mandatory explor trip so you
13:15can't submit an expression of Interest
13:18without physically visiting the province
13:21mandatory proof of language requirement
13:24cb5 up front so if you don't have the
13:27language requirement up front forget it
13:30no eligibility to even submit an
13:32expression of Interest minimum 12 months
13:35duration as per the business performance
13:37agreement your applicant signs with the
13:40province to operate the business inside
13:42the province minimum it was minimum six
13:45months now it's minimum 12 so pop quiz
13:48which province has still the minimum six
13:51months requirement there's only one
13:53Province left that's
13:55Manitoba more restrictions on eligible
13:58businesses that are allowed to be
14:00invested in and succession planning
14:02meaning five years operational business
14:05of previous owners before you could buy
14:07as an applicant under the entrepreneur
14:08program Geographic distance of Maximum
14:1150 kilometers from where your business
14:13is set up for you and family to operate
14:16in it seems like people were running
14:18businesses in rural regions to be
14:20eligible for lower investment but living
14:22in
14:24Regina in-person interviews are 100%
14:27mandatory for all applicants who have
14:29been
14:32invited after the expression of interest
14:34and have sub are submitting documents
14:37and their net worth audit so all those
14:40easy eligibility CR are out the
14:44window for Saskatchewan's entrepreneur
14:47progr based on the above changes for the
14:49saskat entrepreneur program we expect
14:51the number of applicants to drop by like
14:5410,000% for this program I doubt ckat
14:57will have more than two three applicants
14:58per year under this program with the new
15:01changes because there's really no
15:03Advantage the minimum net worth
15:05investment language Ontario BC I mean I
15:09know Ontario's program is closed now but
15:11BC has better conditions than that Nova
15:14scosa is way better Prince Edward Island
15:16is better Manitoba is better literally
15:19Saskatchewan is now at the bottom of the
15:22pile in terms of the worst entrepreneur
15:24program out there most of the new
15:26entrepreneur applicants will shift to
15:28Prince Edward
15:29Nova Scotia especially now with their
15:31new rural lower investment Alberta's
15:34rural entrepreneur program and finally
15:36the onaran BC programs because these two
15:39L latter provinces do not require
15:42upfront proof of language for your
15:45eligibility they do need it after 18-20
15:48months when you are getting nominated
15:50for PR gives your
15:53applicants at least 18 to 20 months to
15:56improve their English inside the country
15:58before nominated which is good we're
16:01still waiting for D ter provincial
16:03nominee program to relaunch its
16:04entrepreneur stream as they're now
16:06temporarly closed um and the government
16:10and officials are wondering across
16:12Canada why startup Visa so popular why
16:15is everyone applying under St Visa well
16:18I think they made it popular by not
16:20offering enough viable Andra attractive
16:24options to potential investors and
16:26overseas entrepreneurs it's a matter of
16:29which program is less worse which one is
16:33less painful and that's why the federal
16:35start of Visa program is the most
16:38popular program out there let's look at
16:40Nova scotia's new health care provincial
16:44healthc care professional immigration
16:46pilot So Family Physicians with overseas
16:49experience and valid Express entprise
16:51may receive or have received invitations
16:54from Nova Scotia for the practice ready
16:58assessment program for family physicians
17:00and work and it this allows them to be
17:03invited and work in under service areas
17:05of the province applicants will need to
17:07meet the criteria for licensing
17:09eligibility for the provin and practice
17:11ready assessment criteria which may also
17:13include an interview based on a
17:15successful application they may be
17:17invited to sit on the exam for final
17:20licensing this program is not an Express
17:22entry stream although the invitations go
17:24there but rather it's processed through
17:26the PNP in Nova Scotia
17:29let's look at the Ontario provincial
17:31nominee General Occupation specific
17:33drugs you will not have a chance if we
17:36invited an O if you have below 72 points
17:39and are not in a low skilled in demand
17:42occupation for international students
17:44for workers whether in it Healthcare

17:52new invitations for Bakers or Cooks were
17:55completed or included in the skills

18:05results for DTI provincial nominee
18:08program and only three applicants were
18:09nominated for PE under the entrepreneur
18:12program of the pro which indicates how
18:15unex unsuccessful or unappealing the

18:23a relaunch in
18:252024 let yet to be seen what the new
18:28conditions will be

21:25box um and if you're watching this later
21:27on you're like who's he talking to well
21:29it's all those comments questions that
21:31are live because it's a live stream vs
21:33says Canada has a homeless crisis right
21:35now there's not enough room for people
21:37to immigrate here 80 homeless people
21:39died last year of homelessness that was
21:42not related to drugs if you go homeless
21:44in Canada you freeze but if you go
21:46homeless where you're from you just have
21:48to have a garden and a tent well it
21:50depends vs if you're coming from a warm
21:52country if you're coming from like
21:54Ukraine well it's a war zone if you're
21:57coming from Iceland you can't live with
21:59a garden and tent so it really depends
22:02homeless issues are all over the world
22:04us Europe uh Africa far east Southeast
22:09Asia uh so there is no issues the
22:12difference is Canadian government will
22:14give uh minimum income and Security
22:18benefits to Canadians so just
22:21FYI um okula
22:25aoka hi hello okut
22:30schwed Mills for filing PR under the
22:32federal school worker on the basis of
22:34arranged employment what do we mention
22:37the duration of work on employer Port
22:39portal since an employer is providing
22:41the job offer for an indefinite period
22:45uh so it it's permanent full-time so you
22:48can say whatever I mean the employer
22:51portal there is no employer portal schwe
22:54okay because this is not LMI exempt you
22:58should have an um you should already
23:01have an lmia and if you're doing an
23:04under an lmia exempt then it's just a
23:08job offer contract you don't need a new
23:10LMI exam code right now just to fill it
23:14up what should be the start date of the
23:16employment on the job offer that is
23:18being issued for the purpose of arrange
23:20employment it should be the start date
23:22is after you receive your permit
23:25residency um it could be during the work
23:28permit afterwards basically it states
23:31when you're permanent resident you will
23:34start if it's with a work permit option
23:36so it depends on the conditions of the
23:39offer of employment is a PR support at
23:41lmia without a work permit or is it a PR
23:45super LMI with a work or is it a regular
23:48LMI or is it a non an LMI exempt job
23:52offer that would be eligible for Express
23:54entry So based on that you have to
23:56adjust whether the job offer is after
24:00you become a premier resident or during
24:02so the date is less uh prevalent at this
24:06point but the key is it's an indefinite
24:09permanent job offer because it's you're
24:11using that in the um Express entry
24:15system um are you not being homes for
24:18homeless come with you yeah V I mean uh
24:21you have a lot of um comments about
24:25homelessness and
24:27shelters uh
24:28but you know that's fine but we're
24:31talking about immigration here so it
24:33seems like you're pretty ticked off
24:36about the Homeless
24:37Problem
24:39um and yeah I mean people can go home
24:43obvious so it's not like they're stuck
24:44in Canada right they can actually go
24:47back if they're from a country which is
24:49nice and tropical and you say that
24:51everywhere is perfect you know nobody
24:54has problems uh anywhere else then yeah
24:56they can go back s like Canada is the
24:58jail people can come and decide this is
25:00not the right place for me so I don't
25:03think that's the right place to be
25:05commenting about this that's more of
25:06like a bulletin board or Community
25:09posting chat we're here to just answer
25:12questions on immigration and help people
25:14folks out so if you don't want to
25:16immigrate you don't tune in this Channel
25:18vs right so you can stay back wherever
25:21is tropical maybe they give maybe you
25:24know there's some kind of heavenly
25:25Utopia somewhere with no homelessness no
25:28no crime no corruption um you know so
25:31we're talking about immigration here
25:32we're not talking about uh politics and
25:35and problems see every country has
25:37problems okay our office helps people
25:40immigrate to Portugal Greece Spain UK
25:44Malta Dubai Panama New Zealand right US
25:50Canada just to name a few even Austria
25:54right and Caribbean islands for FasTrack
25:56citizenship so
25:59anyways I'm just going to skip um and go
26:02to the immigration related questions
26:04viula viaa please tell us about Canadian
26:08visitor visas well VI
26:10viaa um unfortunately it's just a
26:15tourist visa like any other country you
26:17have to provide proof of your ties to
26:19your home country income employment
26:22assets immediate family and travel
26:25history to in other countries such as
26:28Europe US Canada Australia New Zealand
26:32and UK and that will Define and the
26:35reasons why you're coming to Canada you
26:37have immediate family here what is the
26:39purpose those are the reasons that they
26:41will approve or refuse your uh visitor
26:45Visa okay we got some more questions
26:48here immigration related pleas folks um
26:52OK says please I need advice if I should
26:55go for Nova Scotia International
26:57graduate program in a private college or
26:59going for a one-year program in pi at a
27:02public College remember U the programs
27:05can always change with the pmps prince
27:08Adin is very good Nova SC is very good
27:10so in
27:11general I would say if if you want to be
27:15in a safe route I would say go to a
27:17public College either in Nova Scotia or
27:20Prince at Island I wouldn't not my
27:24preference would be not to go private
27:26college even though there's a program
27:28for that I would say stick to public
27:31wherever you go both provinces are great
27:37um nanan Fernando how does these recent
27:41changes impact C10 C11 work permits um
27:45it doesn't nanan generally C10 c1s icts
27:50the refusal rates are going up because
27:52the application qualities the
27:54expectations are higher but there are no
27:56significant policy
27:58or program changes for
28:00c101 INT company transfer or other
28:04bilateral agreements which are LMI exemp
28:06for investors professionals and
28:08entrepreneurs and self-employed people
28:11okay Zuber KH hi Resa hello Zuber
28:18um nalen Tara Hi Resa how are you doing
28:23I just want to know whether the same
28:24person can have two applications for
28:27separate prop provinces because my
28:29application for new brunwick is
28:32pending yes technically you can but
28:35after you be receive nomination you can
28:38only have one peer application going to
28:40the federal government if there's two
28:42they'll withdraw One automatically So in
28:45theory you can in theory but keep in
28:48mind that you have to reside in those
28:50provinces that's one of the intentions
28:52so just be careful with that but
28:55technically theoretically you could m
28:58Omar Khan we received our PR is there a
29:00certain duration one can be out of
29:02country my daughter plans to go out of
29:05country for six to seven months as we
29:07might get her married are there any red
29:09flags Muhammad congratulations on the pr
29:12um you will need to just spend two out
29:15of five years to be eligible to renew
29:18your residency so The Residency
29:20requirement for perent residence are two
29:22out of five years
29:23non-continuous citizenship has a
29:25different requirement so you can be out
29:27for success 7 months and come back keep
29:30in mind that provincial Health Care
29:32coverage does restrict you of how much
29:35how long you should be outside the
29:37country or not but cbsa has no clue
29:40about that when you're re-entering
29:41country Muhammad homar also if she gets
29:44married out now that she has a PR can
29:46she apply for spouse out she just has to
29:49get back to C to apply she can apply to
29:54sponsor her spouse
29:56Muhammad she can do that from inside
29:59Canada or outside Canada when you apply
30:01from outside Canada she just has to show
30:03the intention that she plans to be
30:06living in Canada so as long as she's
30:09just temporarily out she could say well
30:11we plan to reside in Canada and I'm you
30:14know because I have my place of work or
30:17my home or whatever there and she can
30:20also apply from inside then wait for her
30:22spouse to be processed and then the
30:24spouse would arrive with a PR so both
30:27options are 100% available the
30:30application would just have to state
30:32where the sponsor is at that time uh
30:35shet Mills so while applying for PR on
30:38the basis of arrange employment the
30:40employer doesn't need to register the
30:42job offer on the employer P
30:47right well it depends if it's an element
30:50exempt or non lmia uh or with an lmia
30:55when you have an LMI you already have
30:59uh the the number the AL my number uh so
31:02it depends on what type of offer of
31:05employment it is Muhammad another
31:08question the ircc portal says that your
31:10PR days are counted towards PR renewal
31:13days if you're working outside Canada
31:15providing you have full-time job offer
31:17in Canada yes but there's a lot of
31:21exceptions I don't even go there don't
31:24even go there you'll be stuck you won't
31:26be able to renew if you don't meet two
31:27years residency
31:29requirements um does working for your
31:31own company no it doesn't don't don't
31:34even try Muhammad uh yeah don't even try
31:37it okay trust me I've had a lot of
31:40people try that route it doesn't go
31:42anywhere oku is Nova Scotia
31:44International graduate in demand good
31:46for me because I'm 40 years old uh yeah
31:49perfectly fine uh Mohamad does this
31:52count to citizenship days
31:55if if you're traveling with
31:59uh no I mean your work permit time
32:02visitor Vis study permit time inside
32:04Canada counts as credit half a day for
32:06every day up to a Max of one year credit
32:09towards your citizenship but not
32:11spending time outside of Canada that
32:13doesn't count towards
32:15citizenship Alan Wong hi Resa appreciate
32:18for your time and effort on sharing the
32:20facts and professional opinion rpr
32:22request stuck in White Horse since 2023
32:26January of um pal ircc received it in
32:302021 February any experience with
32:34wh um well so you mean you applied Allan
32:39on the Yukon um uh or the territory the
32:44northern Teran provincial programs or
32:46you mean the startup Visa program and
32:48it's being processed in yuk come because
32:50in White Horse because that's also
32:51normal so are you doing a PNP there are
32:54you doing a startup Visa are you doing a
32:57what what program are you applying
32:59Muhammad afak vadala hi Resa what are
33:04current timelines for SUV from
33:06pre-arrival to copr 18 to 24 months
33:09average we've seen 15 months we've seen
33:1224 but we're telling all of our clients
33:15it's 18 to 24 muaz Ahmed what are the
33:19best options for study programs to get
33:21PR like BC postgraduate program M I
33:24would say the postgraduate program in BC
33:27is good I would say the New Finland
33:30postgraduate program is good and on
33:32Ontario's Master's and PhD graduate
33:35streams are pretty good as well because
33:38although it's a points based system BC
33:40doesn't have a points based system but
33:42it's stem based but if you're doing a
33:44regular MBA or something that's not stem
33:47you know um science technology
33:49engineering mathematics these sort of
33:51occupations is quite good new fatland
33:54has their own little um graduate
33:58restrictions which is not bad but BCS
34:01probably stem education and if not like
34:03a MBA or anything else even Arts would
34:06say Ontario but be careful of the points
34:09based system reverse engineer before you
34:11start the program so you can declare
34:14your income higher even while you're a
34:15student because that'll give you some
34:17bonus points later on don't tell them I
34:19told you that asish Jal H res we got our
34:23pre-arrival letter on SUV congrats how
34:26much time do you think we'll take for
34:27the pr it could take two to six months
34:30it's right now we don't there's no
34:32specific time okay but I've seen clients
34:36within couple months they got the copr
34:39details our passport request and some
34:43that took six months but last year was
34:45slower I expect faster processing this
34:47year Muhammad Amar Khan I should just I
34:51got mine after two months which yeah
34:53which makes sense but again it's very
34:56very different across the there's no
34:59consistency
35:04Oka thank you for respons as a please
35:06can I change my program to a different
35:08school as part of it as a part-time
35:10student in the winter term so you do
35:13need to study two full-time semesters
35:15per year uh orm to because you'll lose
35:19your international student status and
35:22you may it may affect your postgraduate
35:25work permit eligibility but if if you've
35:27done two full-time semester and you're
35:29doing a third semester that can be part-
35:32time okay but be careful with that safah
35:36Ramadan thank you saf Ramadan Kim hope
35:40everything is good and you're busy with
35:42your startup shred Mills can you tell
35:45what to keep in mind while applying for
35:46PE on the basis of arange employ I
35:49received an Al my exam work permit I
35:51received an ITA
35:54recently okay so basically you should
35:57have worked for the employer for one
36:01year right d examp for which your work
36:04permit the employer's name was on it you
36:07have at least 1,560 hours of accumulated
36:11work uh work for that employer that is
36:15now if sh you a job or so you could own
36:17that business or it could be something
36:19else right um with the offer of
36:22employment I'm just thinking in for the
36:25express
36:26entry uh
36:31if you don't have an lmia and it's
36:33asking you for an LMI exempt uh code
36:37then yes the employer would need to
36:39issue that offer of employment and pay
36:41the $230 emplo but if it doesn't ask you
36:44for a code then there's no re
36:45requirement of the employer prer let me
36:48let me double check this live with our
36:51team just to make sure we are giving you
36:53the right answer for arrange
36:58employment
37:00in thanks
37:07folks exam
37:18streams a
37:26uh
38:27um is is open and you could potentially
38:30go there if the OCC your occupation is
38:32in the tech Talent as MZ Ahmed is post
38:37is BC postgraduate program will be
38:39closed next January I received admission
38:42from one of these program I will finish
38:44studying in 24 is it possible to get a
38:46bcnp after graduation mes we don't know
38:50that bcnp doesn't know that it's tough
38:53to say it could change it could not
38:58exist but to be honest with you no
39:03there's no clear answer to that question
39:05you know will will start a Visa change
39:07in a year or two will it close will any
39:10of the programs close or change well
39:12it's a it's a there's a risk at all
39:14times for that but it's a good program
39:18whether it close next January I don't
39:20think so but if it'll change till 2025
39:23later on 2026 yes it could change uh
39:28safas always have a plan B by the way
39:30safas we're still paying corporate tax
39:34returns and annual tax for a company and
39:36searching for trademarks are these
39:38activities helping our PR under yeah
39:40yeah if you have revenues and expenses
39:43through your Canadian Corporation for
39:44startup it's a bonus point it's not that
39:49is the only thing they're looking at
39:50it's just a component that adds to the
39:53whole package for you SCH Mills is it an
39:56LM EX work permit do we need to register
39:59the job offer an employer portal before
40:01applying for I have received an it yeah
40:03I'm getting you yes was the most from
40:06the emplo port yeah so I got even
40:11for points yeah so I got a confirmation
40:15from our office sh um that yes because
40:18it's Sal exam and they need to issue the
40:20job offer for Express entry they go
40:22through the employee compliance and if
40:25the duration you can't pick permanent in
40:27the portal just put you know whatever
40:30dur long duration it should not be less
40:32than one or two years but technically in
40:34the job offer that you're including in
40:36the express entry documents later with
40:39your ITA it should say permanent
40:42indefinite a you know fulltime right uh
40:46but yeah they will need to pay $230 to
40:49get the LM exam code which starts with a
40:52from the employer portal which is the
40:54same day you just need to pay the 230
40:57daal Sharma res I'm working on yeah we
41:00did that just now mares we did that Safa
41:03we did that shed we did Shana Rafia hey
41:06Resa nice to see you again is it
41:08possible to change the Iranian open work
41:10permit to close work perm and get to 200
41:12points yeah any work permit is possible
41:15any as long as you have valid status
41:18inside the country and you can change
41:21condition can change to a study permit a
41:24closed work permit another open work
41:26permit if you eligible for it so it's
41:28not specific to Iranian open work
41:31permits it's for anyone with any
41:34condition that meets the eligibility of
41:36the new condition can do a change of
41:38condition right so from open to close
41:40close to open all that's possible um
41:44case in point is the the vulnerable
41:46workers open work permit so somebody's
41:48on a closed work permit and then they
41:50apply for an open because there's issues
41:51with their employes and if you're in an
41:53open work permit and you're getting an
41:55offer of employment and you're going to
41:57close work permit because you want to
41:58work for an employer and they want you
42:00on a close work permit of course it's
42:02possible um you could even do a PR
42:04support Ali without a work permit to
42:07claim those 200 points just food for
42:10thought um Shana nashan Ali do all
42:14permanent residency applicants whether
42:16in Canada or outside receive a
42:18pre-arrival la before approval
42:20additionally is it always the case that
42:22an applicant should receive a pre-
42:24arrival asan most cases we seen a
42:28pre-arrival most cases but there's some
42:31cases where I haven't seen a pre-arrival
42:33and the pr was process so 90% 9 10 yes
42:37but there are some cases where the pr
42:40just came out and the pre-arrival wasn't
42:42received yet Alan W we are under SUV PR

44:19months it used to be a month and a half
44:21New Brunswick has also experienced a
44:23huge uh backlog so I can't give you more
44:27more details than that n sorry hard deep
44:30cow hi Reser our PR tracker is updated
44:32yesterday with background completed but
44:34file is still in progress so how much
44:36time will it take for PR hard deep sorry
44:39I don't remember your case so you'd have
44:41to refresh my mind if it start a Visa
44:44again it all depends on the officer I
44:47don't know what case you're looking at
44:49because it depends on when the officer
44:51satisfied and then when they're sending
44:54it over for PR did you get a pre arrival
44:57service I don't know what program or
44:59what service what what criteria you're
45:02you're using right now unpredictable
45:04high as a good morning have any idea
45:07current Biometrics timeline I have
45:08submitted PR application January 18
45:122024 not sure what program Biometrics
45:15timeline there is no real Biometrics
45:18timeline uh if you've submitted
45:20Biometrics and you're under PR
45:22application whatever program it is you
45:25just have to go through the processing
45:26time
45:28um so I don't know exactly muas Ahmed in
45:31BC News it was told that BC will end
45:34International graduate and International
45:35postgrad in January and they will
45:37replace it with another three programs
45:40if that's the case maras you can hold
45:42off um potentially because what what
45:47could happen is that they're they're
45:48limiting or they're going to restrict so
45:51the program will not be as easy or
45:54friendly that's from based on what
45:56you're telling me right now so just be
45:58careful if you go into that program
45:59based on the postgraduate International
46:02stream to PR it uh
46:06it's it there is risk right um but if
46:12you're doing a postgraduate that Pro
46:14obviously if they're replacing those
46:15programs those programs will allow
46:17people with postgraduate graduation to
46:19apply but you don't know will it be a
46:21point space system will there be other
46:23criteria so nobody knows um
46:27WEA Tina hi Resa please can you tell me
46:31shortly about Canadian visiting Visa I
46:33did my Biometrics Jan but until now no
46:36reply uh viua depending on where you're
46:39from it can take anywhere from four to
46:4210 months to get a Visa processing you
46:46know depending are you in the Caribbean
46:48are you in Africa are you in somewhere
46:50southeast Asia it can take a very long
46:53time unpredictable so how much impact
46:55will be P of any misrepresentation but
46:58pass for other
46:59countries uh it can be refused
47:02unpredictable so that's the name of the
47:05person asking is why hard deep we
47:07applied for non-express entry on 25th
47:10November still haven't received a
47:11pre-arrival letter so there can be any
47:13problem everything completed and PR
47:15tracker oh provincial nominee program
47:18yeah 15 to 18 months so uh let's say
47:212023 yeah mid like second half of this
47:25year you'll have your PR hard
47:27uh maybe sooner Viola Tina from
47:30Rwanda Viola I would say it can take
47:34anywhere from four to eight to 10 months
47:37it's it's very random in Africa
47:39unfortunately people waiting sometimes
47:41for 10 months sometimes of four four and
47:43a half five months uh so it's not fast
