Following is the list of documents that are required for Canada Immigration.- Passport for principal applicant and other dependent applicants (all pages except blank pages)
- Educational qualifications - degree certificate and mark sheets for all years. In addition, we will need transcripts and syllabus (certain skills only)
- Work experience certificates for all companies you have worked in. For current employer, appointment letter and salary slips for last few months. In addition, you can enclose promotion/ salary revision letters, tax returns
- Marriage certificate (if applicable)
- Proof of age of all applicants
The following changes have been made to the Canada Immigration point system for skilled workers :
1. More points have been allocated for applicants with a trade certificate or a second degree.
2. The maximum number of points available for proficiency in both English and French combined has been increased from 20 to 24. Workers who are proficient in both languages will score more points. A new assessment level that recognizes "basic proficiency" has been added to the three existing levels (high, moderate and none). These changes are expected to result in more bilingual (English and French) workers being admitted to Canada.
3. The total number of points available for "experience" has been reduced to 21 from 25, and more points will be awarded for one to two years of work experience. This is expected to attract younger workers who may have higher levels of education but fewer years of experience.
4. The "age factor" has been adjusted upwards, so that workers between the ages of 21 and 49 will score the maximum number of points (10 points). This is expected to make it easier for older workers to gain entry to Canada under the Skilled Worker Class.
5. The pass mark has been set at 67 points to respond to concerns raised by the provinces and territories and others that a high pass would bar many skilled immigrants.
6. Applicants must provide a proof of funds that he/she will bring to Canada for their initial expense.
