A
Immigration Tip
Did
you know that Quebec
Immigration offers the ONLY truly open application process for
Skilled Workers immigrating to Canada?
That's right!
To apply to any other part of Canada, except Quebec, you need to
be on the List of Occupations in Demand (see right). To apply
to any province except Quebec under a PNP program you need an employer
to initiate the process on your behalf. Not for Quebec. You do
not need to be on any Occupation in Demand List and you do not
need a pre-arranged job offer.

*
increasing the amount of time a caregiver has to complete their
work obligations, from three years to four;
* the adoption of a standardized employment contract that ensures
both parties agree to the salary, hours of work, vacation time,
overtime, holidays, sick leave, and the terms of termination and
resignation;
* defining the costs the employer is obliged to pay, including
the caregiver’s travel expenses in coming to Canada, medical
insurance, workplace safety insurance and third-party representative
fees;"
