Hello Freddie,

Thank you for reply.

I would like to know how many duration (in months) Visa or Workpermit (6 months or one year or 2 years) require to apply for Canada immigration application from Canada itself under Skilled Worker Category?

If you have any link for same, then request you to please share with us.

Thanks & regards,
Abhishek

According to New Rule, below are set of Points mentioned on CIC webpage http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp
1. According to the Minister’s instructions, your application is eligible for processing if:
• you have an offer of arranged employment, OR
• you are a foreign national who has been living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, OR
• you are a skilled worker who has at least one year of experience in one or more of the occupations listed here.

As I told you I was there in Oct, 2006 to Nov, 2007 on work permit and had one year full time work experience (as Software Engineer) in Information technology filed. I would like to know
1. Am I eligible to apply a new immigration application from Canada or not under NEW RULE??

thanks,
Abhishek

Please get a work permit if you can and then proceed with the application.

Go wash your face in ice cold water and may be it will wake you up. The new system does not take six or seven years, as you think. It is a 'fataa-fat' process and you are in or you are not in. Six months to tell yes or no. Then six months to process. Your IELTS and your Canadian experience will push you up. Plus your completion of the French language course, if you do that before applying will tell you in August if you are coming here or not. Also you pay the fees along with the application. If they want you, they take the fees. Otherwise you get it back.

Please take your time and read the postings SLOWLY. Then go through the NEW immigration process also. Study the system and you will get to know things better.

That should make you very happy. Nice that you asked. I was just waiting to hear from you. And I knew it will be today.

Have a great day.

Freddie.

Once again thank you Freddie.

I am only waiting when my company will initate my Canada Work permit. I am still afriad to think that If CIC will not consider my One year (Oct 2006 to Nov 2007) Canada Stay as my new application eligibility critrica, then I have to be there for next one year then after I will become eligible for new application.

Kindly confirm the same. Am I eligible in my current situation? you have sound knolwdege of immigration and you are so nice who helping ppl like me for our quries.

Another intertesting question related to education.

I would request you to please elaborate below lines http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op06e.pdf
Page 13

• “Educational credential” is defined in R73 as any diploma, degree or trade or apprenticeship
credential issued on the completion of a program of study or training at an educational or
training institution recognized by the authorities responsible for registering, accrediting,
supervising and regulating such institutions in the country of issue.
• “Full-time” is defined in R78(1) as requiring at least 15 hours of instruction per week during
the academic year, including any period of training in the workplace that forms part of the
course of study.
• “Full-time equivalent” means, in respect of part-time or accelerated studies, the period of time
that would have been required to complete those studies on a full-time basis.

I have questions here
Question1. What is meaning of “apprenticeship credential issued on the completion of a program of study or training at an educational or training institution recognized by the authorities responsible for registering”?

I am giving here one example of apprenticeship as per my knowledge. Please correct if I am wrong. Example: Suppose one person has completed his Bachelor degree from one college and have total 16 Years full time education (Grade 12 + 4 Years Engineering). Now if
a) He joins same college or other as Lecture to teach students (for one year) some time (like One year) and parallel, he goes under training; will be cover here as apprenticeship?
b) One Engineer will join one Industry (for one year) as Training Engineer and will go under different kind of trainings. Will this means this person has one year apprenticeship and now he has 16+ 1 = 17 year’s total education.
Normally working time is 8 -9 hours/day in both cases. Working day: Monday to Saturday

Please let me your valuable suggestion.

With Warm regards,
Abhishek

Your qualifying for Immigration depends upon, the one years of experience that you obtained, is in a field that was based upon the education that you completed and also satisfies the Officer who will find it meets with the approval of the Immigration requirements. You also have your IELTS in good standing currently.

That is the quickest route available to you currently. But it is not the surest. Also you will get your fees back if not selected.

To the best of my knowledge, the apprenticeship course is for undergraduate studies and leads to a certification with the issue of a diploma at the end of the completion of the course. These Certificates are recognized if they are issued by an accredited college. I am not in the know how of the other postal studies and the other community colleges that run such a course or a diploma and they also issue. (a diploma from their institution). They are considered as accredited if the diploma they issue is recognized as a course equivalent by the ministry of education, prior to your enrolling into them.

I have not gone through my home work that you have provided in your response. (PDF Files) yet. So, I would advice you to get in touch with the group there in India and address all of your queries to them. Here is their web site and they are located in New Delhi : http://ciip.accc.ca/

Any work done after the completion of graduation is considered as service in a field in which you graduated from and/ or trained and is recognized as experience in that field.
To get that service recognized as equivalent to Apprenticeship, you should address this query to the people who provide that certification to you. They are the ones who would either provide you with the recognition of the course itself or course and the service put together as one and then ask you to apply in the appropriate forms that they send you and you provide them with the originals or copies of all of the required materials to enable them to assess first and then issue to you a "Certificate". This Certificate will permit you to work here as a technician in the chosen field. {Here I am going off on a tangent}

If and when one completes sixteen years of schooling and then gets his degree or a Certification in a job in his chosen field, and after the completion he joins the work force and if the additional years are required to take him to the next level in his chosen field, then, the service experience will be recognized for the upgrading to the next level but in the same field, because it calls for the same for upgradation. But it is service Experience in his field.

This is what the Immigration Department is looking for besides other things, when they issue to you a work permit to gain suitable Canadian Experience in the field in which you studied. That is my first paragraph of this response.

The educational years that you complete are a total numbers of years through an accredited Educational Institution, or schools and colleges put together. You have to read the interpretations that the Immigration department provides and not mine.

The experience you gain working for some one with gainful employment is subsequent to the graduation is not apprenticeship. In most cases it is not considered as education also, since you left the educational field and entered into the field of profitable Employment.

I don't know where we are going with this. But it is a field that you should explore with the link that I have provided to you and the people that I am asking you to get in touch with at your end.

When the issues that you raised here get resolved through the link, please provide us with the response you received as we are also in need of the confirmations that you receive. Will you please do that?

Good Luck.

Freddie.
