2024 in Half: Your Other Routes to Immigration

2024 in Half: Your Other Routes to Immigration

Have you ever asked yourself these relocation-related thought-provoking questions before now? Why are everyone not able to immigrate from their home countries to their dream nations? What are the hindrances that limit the “travel-ability” of immigrants even when they are or could be well qualified? How can visa rejections and bans be justified when well-deserving travelers are being denied entry into these countries? Is it the fault of applicants or the visa officers? 

Well, I am not here to sound philosophical but rather I want us to think deeply about these queries and my responses to them perhaps we can all learn from today’s issue at hand using it to also benefit your immigration journey out of your mother lands to seek greener pastures abroad. 

Immigration Countries Require the Best

Countries often welcome immigrants for a variety of reasons, encompassing economic, social, and demographic benefits – the main objectives can be summarized in these three (3) points:

1) Labor Market Needs: Immigrants can fill gaps in the labor market, particularly in industries facing worker shortages such as healthcare, construction, agriculture, and technology thereby bringing diverse skills and experiences that can drive innovation and economic growth.

2) Entrepreneurship: Many immigrants start their own businesses, creating jobs and contributing to economic dynamism. Immigrant entrepreneurs often drive new industries and services.

3) Community and Regional Development: Immigrants can revitalize declining communities and rural areas by increasing population, opening businesses, and participating in local economies while encouraging settlement in less populated or economically struggling regions, helping to balance urban-rural population distribution.

Are Immigrants Willing?

Even though you studied linguistics like me in the University, are you open to working in an more in-demand industry overseas? Will you be ready to learn new language and show your proficiency to be better qualified than other immigrants? Do you have skills, experience and money to launch a new or existing business in your relocating country? Or even less choosy in the kind of city or town you will reside in your new nation? And how prepared are you to show compelling proofs that you are truly capable of being an asset to your new residing location? 

Canada As A Case Study

For those who want to immigrate permanently to this North-American country, you need to understand that Permanent Residence is a 5-in-1 Visa Package comprising of:

1) Cheap or Free Endless Studies in Canada

2) Complete Permit to Work in Canada Permanently

3) Full Access to Visit or Tour the Country’s Cities and Provinces Anytime

4) Unlimited Freedom to Set Up a Business Anywhere in the Country

5) Clear Path to Canadian Citizenship after Residing for just 1,095 Days (3 Years) 

Canadian PR is unlike Study Permit, Work Permit, Visitor Visa or even Asylum Seeking restricts you on just one of the many advantages of Permanent Residence; hence it is undoubtedly the best way to immigrate permanently but it’s not given easily to undeserving or impatient immigrants. It takes much effort, time and dedication towards the visa process. 

Direct PR Pathways

Canada offers several direct pathways to permanent residence – some key immigration routes to consider in the second half of the year 2024 could include any combination of these: 

1) Express Entry System – This is a popular and fast route to Canadian permanent residence for skilled workers. To apply, candidates must create an online profile and are scored based on factors like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. Geared towards individuals possessing skills demanded by the labour market, this electronic immigration program boasts quicker processing times, typically taking six months. 

2) Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) – Each Canadian province and territory (except Quebec) has its own immigration programs, known as Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), tailored to their specific economic needs. A nomination from a province significantly boosts a candidate’s Express Entry score. 

3) Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) – Quebec has its immigration system and selects immigrants based on criteria that match its needs. The Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) is for skilled workers who wish to settle in Quebec.
