Most Common Problems faced by Canadian Immigrants & International students
Express Entry is an online system used to manage applications for permanent residence under the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class. Candidates are ranked based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability.
PNPs are immigration programs offered by Canadian provinces and territories. They allow provinces to nominate individuals who meet specific criteria for permanent residence. Each province has its own selection criteria and streams tailored to their economic and labor market needs.
Generally, you need to become a permanent resident first and meet specific requirements, including residency obligations, before being eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.
Processing times vary depending on the immigration program and the volume of applications. It’s important to note that processing times can change, so it’s advisable to regularly check the official website of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for the most up-to-date information.
For most immigration programs, including Express Entry, you need to prove your language proficiency in English or French by taking approved language tests such as IELTS or CELPIP (English) and TEF (French).Content
Canada has a diverse and robust job market with opportunities in various sectors. However, the availability of jobs depends on factors such as your qualifications, skills, work experience, and the specific region or province where you plan to settle.
Canada provides settlement services to help newcomers integrate into Canadian society. These services may include language training, employment support, assistance with housing, education, and information on community resources.
You can check the status of your immigration application by creating an online account on the IRCC website and using their online tool called “Check Application Status.” This allows you to track the progress of your application.
- Language Barrier: One of the primary difficulties faced by immigrants and international students is the language barrier. English or French may not be their first language, making it challenging to communicate effectively and navigate daily life, find employment, or interact with local communities.
- Employment and Career: Many immigrants face difficulties in finding employment commensurate with their skills, qualifications, and previous work experience. The lack of Canadian work experience, unfamiliarity with the local job market, and the need for professional networking can make it harder to secure desired positions.
- Credentials Recognition: For highly skilled immigrants, the process of having their foreign credentials recognized and accepted by Canadian institutions or employers can be time-consuming and complex. This can lead to them being underemployed or working in jobs that do not fully utilize their qualifications.
- Financial Constraints: Immigrants and international students often face financial challenges, especially during the initial settlement period. The high cost of living, tuition fees, and limited access to financial resources can create significant financial strain.
- Cultural Adjustment: Adjusting to a new cultural and social environment can be overwhelming. Cultural differences in norms, values, and communication styles may pose challenges in building social connections and integrating into the local community. Homesickness and feelings of isolation are also common.
- Housing and Accommodation: Finding suitable and affordable housing can be a concern, particularly in larger cities with high rental costs. Limited knowledge of local rental laws, lack of credit history, and discriminatory practices can make it difficult to secure appropriate housing.
- Access to Services: Navigating the Canadian healthcare system, understanding legal rights, and accessing social services can be daunting, especially for newcomers unfamiliar with the system. Limited knowledge of available resources and support services can pose additional challenges.
- Immigration and Visa Issues: Dealing with immigration processes, visa applications, and the associated paperwork can be complex and time-consuming. Changes in immigration policies and regulations may create uncertainties and anxiety for immigrants and international students.
