一、 新政策出台原因
由于联邦技术移民和联邦投资移民大量案例积压,移民官正式处理申请人申请往往是在递交申请2年以后。为了提高效率,自2006年9月1日起,联邦移民局只接受联邦技术移民和联邦投资移民的新版表格,等到联邦移民局正式处理申请时,再通知申请人递交文件(期间如申请人提出退出申请,申请费可以如数退回)。估计此政策的实施,不会影响PNP和魁北克投资移民的进程,并且2年内不会加快联邦技术移民和联邦投资移民的申请,但2年后,此两个移民项目处理速度会加快。
二、 主要内容、适用类型、适用时间
Immigration Canada to revise application process
(先入表,后送件;入表后取得档案号,入表后政策变化,不会影响申请人)
Citizenship and Immigration Canada has introduced a new application process for many federal skilled workers and business class immigration applicants.
As of September 1, 2006, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will introduce a new simplified application process for most Federal Economic Class applicants, inclusive of Skilled Workers and Business Immigrants. Beginning this date, affected Federal Economic Class applicants will be required to provide the modified application form and processing fees at the time of application.
Supporting documentation will remain a critical component of the processing of the application, but this step will put more focus on the clear, accurate, and complete presentation of the application forms. Such documents will be provided only when the visa office has reviewed the forms and is ready to complete the assessment of the application.
Applicants will potentially benefit by earlier "lock in" of the application upon submission, meaning that applications will be evaluated against the Regulations in effect at such time. At the time of assessment of the application by the appropriate visa office a request for the supporting documents will be forwarded to the applicant.
The following applicants cannot apply under the simplified application process;
(此政策只适用于:联邦技术移民和联邦投资移民,对魁北克投资移民和纽省PNP没有影响)
provincial nominees; or
Quebec applicants; or
Temporary residents of Canada as a worker or a student and are submitting your application at the Canadian visa office in Buffalo; or
Legal status in the United States and are submitting your application through the Canadian visa office in Buffalo
三、我们需要采取的应对措施
根据加拿大移民局以上的审理过程变化,我们要采取以下措施:
已签约客户:
1. 尽量将已签约的联邦技术移民和联邦投资移民的客户申请资料在9月1日以前送交至加拿大使领馆
2. 如文件在9月1日不可能齐全,请马上入表(不等到9月1日),减少等待时间
3. 联邦技术移民的新表格已有
