It was largely paper-based and utilized the first-come, first-served application process. It means that you could have spent [...]

QUEBEC SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM Quebec has officially published the details of the new Expression of Interest system that is put in place to reduce processing times and simplify the application process for its Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP). While it is still not as fast as the federal Express Entry system, it is a huge leap forward in comparison with the old first-come, first-served application process and the sometimes-unreliable Mon Projet Quebec portal. In general, the new system is very much like Express Entry; it employs an Expression of Interest system, introduces a clear point-based algorithm and makes the whole [...]

Canadian Start-Up Visa Program Wins As US Backs Down

Vitaly Sokolov2019-04-14T21:25:15-05:00

Canadian Start-Up Visa Program Wins Thinking about immigrating to North America via entrepreneur program? Think Canada! In a recent announcement, the US Department of State seems to be wrapping up the Obama’s initiative called International Entrepreneur Rule. Under this initiative, a temporary residence was granted to immigrant entrepreneurs with promising start-up ideas. The move to cancel the initiative is dictated by the US Government belief that it “lacks sufficient protections for U.S. workers and investors, and is not the appropriate vehicle for attracting and retaining international entrepreneurs.” This leaves the world’s other leading economies, including Canada, well positioned to retain [...]
