这是加拿大打击移民欺诈的方法 Here Is How To Combat Immigration Fraud For Canada

!2023 年防欺诈月 !Fraud Prevention Month 2023

加拿大每年将三月作为防欺诈月,加拿大移民、难民和公民部 (IRCC) 参与其中,以提高人们对加拿大移民面临的欺诈以及他们如何保护自己的认识。 Every year Canada observes March as a fraud prevention month and Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) participates in this to raise awareness about the fraud that immigrants to Canada face and how they may protect themselves.

以下是加拿大境内或境外的任何申请人在打击移民欺诈时必须牢记的几件事: Here are few things that any applicant inside-Canada or outside-Canada must keep in mind to combat immigration fraud:

无法保证获得任何类别的签证。所以,如果有人 100% 保证你的签证,不要付钱给任何人。 There is no assurance of obtaining a visa in any category. So, do not pay anyone if any one 100% guarantee your visa.

没有人可以向您保证为加拿大提供一份工作。相反,这完全取决于您的能力和特定雇主的选择。 Nobody can promise you a job for Canada. Rather, it totally depends upon your abilities and selection by a particular employer.

没有人在加拿大大使馆或高级委员会或关系中拥有非凡的权力来让您的签证获得批准。 No one wields extraordinary power at the Canadian embassy or high commissions or connections to get your visa approved.

您可以自己申请签证,不一定需要顾问/律师。所有信息都可以在 IRCC 的官方网站上获取。 You may apply for a visa on your own and you don’t necessarily needs a consultant/lawyer. All the information is accessible on the IRCC’s official website .

如果任何顾问发布或与移民部长或加拿大总理或其他知名官员分享他们的照片,这并不意味着他们有内部影响力让您的签证获得批准。相反,这是该特定顾问违反职业道德准则的行为。 If any consultant posts or share their picture with immigration minister or Canadian PM or other notable officials, it does not imply that they have inside-influence to get your visa approved. Rather this is a breach of professional code of ethics by that particular consultant.

谨防这些针对加拿大人的最常见骗局 > Beware Of These Most Common Scams Targeting People In Canada

如果您聘请代表帮助您申请加拿大公民身份,请确保他们是以下人员之一: If you engage a representative to help you apply for citizenship in Canada, be sure they are one of the following:

  • RCIC(受监管的加拿大移民顾问)获得 CICC(移民和公民顾问学院)的认可。 - RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant) accredited with CICC (College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants).
  • 在法律界享有良好声誉的移民律师和律师助理。 - Immigration lawyers and paralegals in good standing with the legal profession.
  • 魁北克公证人协会现任成员的公证人 - Notaries who are current members of the Chambre des notaires du Québec

始终检查任何自称是 RCIC 或移民律师或律师助理的证书,他们会为您提供收费服务。 Always check the credentials of anyone claiming to be RCIC or immigration lawyer or paralegals who offer you services for a fee.

在雇用任何这些有执照的顾问/律师/公证人之前,请务必签署聘用协议。 Always sign a retainer agreement before hiring any of the these licensed consultants/lawyers/notaries.

LMIA 不收取法律费用。费用由雇主承担,而不是申请人。 There are no legal fees for LMIA. The cost is borne by the employer, not the applicant.

切勿通过任何网站/YouTube/Instagram 页面/Facebook 页面或其他社交媒体平台透露您的 UCI、申请号或个人信息,以期收到额外的处理信息或加快处理您的申请。 Never reveal your UCI, Application number, or personal information with any website/YouTube/Instagram page/Facebook page, or other social media platforms in the hopes of receiving additional processing information or expedite processing of your application.

只有 IRCC 网站或您的在线申请门户网站上显示的处理时间是准确的。 Only the processing times shown on the IRCC website or your online application portal are accurate.

没有人知道您的申请处理的任何进一步信息,也没有人可以为您提供更快的申请处理时间。 NOBODY has any further information on your application processing and NO one can provide you with a faster application processing time.

不要使用任何顾问的服务,如果他们同意为您提供 100% 的签证保证或更快的处理。 DO NOT USE services of any consultant, if they agrees to give you a 100% guarantee of visa or speedier processing.

IRCC invites 667 candidates in Express Entry PNP-only draw

IRCC 邀请 667 名候选人参加 Express Entry PNP-only 抽签 IRCC 举行了今年第三次 PNP-only 抽签。 IRCC invites 667 candidates in Express Entry PNP-only draw IRCC has held the third PNP-only draw of the year.

IRCC 今天举行了 2023 年第六次快速通道抽签。 IRCC held the sixth Express Entry draw of 2023 today.

加拿大移民、难民和公民部 (IRCC) 向 667 名综合排名系统 (CRS) 最低分数为 748 分的候选人发出了邀请。 Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued invitations to 667 candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 748.

这是继 2 月 15 日仅 PNP 抽签结果之后,2023 年第四次针对特定项目的抽签。其中三场针对 PNP 的抽签,另一场针对联邦技术工人计划 (FSWP)。 This was the fourth program-specific draw of 2023 following results of the PNP-only draw on February 15. Three of the program-specific draws have been for the PNP while one has been for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).

自上次全节目抽签以来已有一个多月了 Over a month since the last all-program draw

由于 COVID-19 大流行导致的边境关闭和限制,所有项目的快速通道抽签在 2021 年 1 月至 2022 年 7 月期间暂停了 18 个月。 2022 年的所有抽签都是在 7 月之后进行的。 All-program Express Entry draws were paused for 18 months between January 2021 and July 2022 due to border closures and restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. All draws in 2022 were all-program after July.

自 2023 年初以来,IRCC 仅举行了两次全项目抽签,即根据最低 CRS 分数邀请了来自所有三个快速通道管理项目的候选人。这些抽奖每人邀请了 5,000 名候选人,并于 1 月 11 日至 18 日相隔一周举行。 Since the beginning of 2023, IRCC has held only two all program draws, meaning draws in which candidates from all three Express Entry managed programs were invited based on their minimum CRS score. Those draws each invited 5,000 candidates and were held one week apart on January 11 and 18.

然后,IRCC 等了两周才进行下一次抽签,这是自 2022 年 6 月以来首次仅 PNP 抽签。第二天,IRCC 又举行了一次抽签,仅邀请了来自联邦技术工人计划 (FSWP) 的 3,300 名候选人。这是自 2015 年 Express Entry 开始以来,IRCC 首次举行仅限 FSWP 的抽签。 FSWP 是最著名的快速通道计划之一,面向满足工作经验、语言和教育经验要求的海外候选人开放。 IRCC then waited two weeks for the next draw, which was the first PNP-only draw since June 2022. On the following day, IRCC held another draw, inviting 3,300 candidates from only the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). This was the first time since Express Entry began in 2015 that IRCC has held a FSWP-only draw. The FSWP is one of the most prominent Express Entry programs and open to candidates overseas who meet the work experience, language and educational experience requirements.

快速通道抽签完全由移民部长和 IRCC 自行决定。 《移民和难民保护法》中没有任何法律规定何时进行抽签、候选人人数或最低 CRS 截止分数。 Express Entry draws are totally at the discretion of the immigration minister and IRCC. There is no law in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act that dictates when draws will occur, the number of candidates or the minimum CRS cut-off score.

IRCC 启动快速通道程序的应用程序跟踪器 IRCC launches application tracker for Express Entry programs

2 月 8 日,IRCC 宣布联邦技术工人计划 (FSWP)、加拿大经验类移民 (CEC) 和联邦技术贸易计划 (FSTP) 的候选人现在可以在线监控他们的申请。它还将适用于省提名计划 (PNP) 的候选人。 On February 8, IRCC announced that candidates in the Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) will now be able to monitor their applications online. It will also apply to candidates in Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).

这些状态跟踪器将允许客户监控他们的应用程序,并随时了解有关保持文件移动可能需要的操作的任何更新。 1 月 31 日的数据显示,有 47,868 名 Express Entry 计划申请人在排队等候,66,214 名 PNP 申请人。 These status trackers will allow clients to monitor their application and stay informed on any updates regarding actions that may be required to keep their file moving. Data from January 31 shows 47,868 applicants for Express Entry programs waiting in the queue and 66,214 for PNPs.

IRCC 引入了这些跟踪器,作为提高透明度和改善信息访问的一种方式。去年,针对家庭类永久居留申请人、赞助商及其代表引入了相同的系统。 IRCC has introduced these trackers as a way to increase transparency and improve access to information. Last year, an identical system was introduced for family class permanent residence applicants, sponsors and their representatives.

什么是快速通道? What is Express Entry?

Express Entry申请管理系统下共有三个加拿大移民项目:加拿大经验类项目(CEC)、联邦技术工人项目(FSWP)和联邦技工项目(FSTP)。快速通道池中的省提名计划 (PNP) 候选人已经有资格参加其中至少一项计划。 There are three Canadian immigration programs under the Express Entry application management system: the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates in the Express Entry pool are already eligible for at least one of these programs.

使用基于积分的综合排名系统 (CRS) 对候选人进行快速入境计划评估,以对候选人的个人资料进行排名。得分最高的候选人将收到申请邀请 (ITA),然后可以申请永久居留权。 Candidates are evaluated for Express Entry programs using the points-based Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), to rank candidates’ profiles. Candidates with the highest scores will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) and can then apply for permanent residency.

候选人(现在是申请人)必须在 60 天内提出申请。提交申请后,IRCC 官员将审查并决定是否批准申请人。如果他们获得批准,申请人现在是加拿大的永久居民,并且可以在该国定居。 The candidates (now applicants) must then apply within 60 days. Once an application is submitted, an IRCC officer will review and decide whether an applicant is approved or not. If they are approved, the applicant is now a permanent resident of Canada, and may settle in the country.

以下是 2023 年 3 月 1 日加拿大最近一次快速通道抽签的结果。 Here are the results of Canada’s most recent Express Entry draw on March 1, 2023.

今天下午,加拿大移民、难民和公民部 (IRCC) 在 2023 年第三次省提名计划 (PNP) 独家抽签中向加拿大永久居留申请人发出了 667 份邀请。 This afternoon, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issued 667 invites to Canadian permanent residence applicants in the third Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) exclusive draw of 2023. 

注意:在昨天之前,IRCC 还在 2 月 1 日和 2 月 15 日进行了仅限 PNP 的抽签。 Note: Prior to yesterday, IRCC also conducted PNP-only draws on February 1 and February 15.  

在今天的抽签中,IRCC 向综合排名系统 (CRS) 最低分数为 748 分的 PNP 候选人发出了邀请,比两周前进行的最后一次仅 PNP 抽签(最低 CRS 分数为 791)下降了 43 分。 Today’s draw saw IRCC issue invitations to PNP candidates with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 748, down 43 points from the last PNP-only draw that took place two weeks ago (minimum CRS score of 791). 

仍在“快速通道”池中的候选人预计将在两周左右再次抽签。 Candidates still in the Express Entry pool can expect another draw in around two weeks.

关于快速通道 About Express Entry

Express Entry是加拿大联邦政府的首要移民途径。 IRCC,该国的移民部门。使用快速通道邀请来自世界各地的外国技术工人到加拿大。这是通过向感兴趣的外国国民提供永久居留权 (PR) 来实现的。 Express Entry is the top immigration pathway of the Canadian federal government. IRCC, the country’s immigration department. uses Express Entry to invite foreign skilled workers to Canada from around the world. This is accomplished by offering permanent residence (PR) to interested foreign nationals.

要在快速通道抽签中被选中,感兴趣的外国技术工人必须首先确保他们有资格参加 CEC、FSWP 或 FSTP——这三个项目在快速通道系统下受到监督。在感兴趣的外国公民确认其资格后,候选人通过 IRCC 的网站提交电子资料,继续他们的快速通道之旅。此时,考生还可以查看自己的 CRS 分数。 To be selected during an Express Entry draw, interested foreign skilled workers must first ensure that they are eligible for the CEC, the FSWP or the FSTP - the three programs that are overseen under the Express Entry system. After an interested foreign national confirms their eligibility, candidates move forward on their Express Entry journey by submitting an electronic profile through IRCC’s website. At this time, candidates can also review their CRS score. 
 
提交在线个人资料并进入快速通道池后,候选人必须等待 IRCC 进行快速通道抽签。这些抽签将邀请具有足够高 CRS 分数(高于该特定抽签的 CRS 分数线)的 Express Entry 候选人在加拿大申请永久居民。只有现在这些候选人才能真正申请加拿大永久居民,因为此时 IRCC 将向他们发出申请邀请 (ITA)。换句话说,ITA 可以被视为通过快速通道在加拿大永久居留的“钥匙”。 After submitting an online profile and entering the Express Entry pool, candidates must wait for IRCC to conduct their Express Entry draws. These draws will invite Express Entry candidates who have a high-enough CRS score (above the cut-off CRS score for that particular draw) to apply for PR in Canada. Only now can these candidates actually apply for Canadian PR, because this is when IRCC will issue them an Invitation to Apply (ITA). In other words, ITAs can be considered the “key” to permanent residence in Canada through Express Entry. 

从他们收到邀请的确切日期开始,ITA 接收者将有 60 天的时间上网并向 IRCC 提交他们的电子永久居留申请 (eAPR)。 Beginning from the exact day they receive their invitation, ITA recipients will have 60 days to go online and submit their electronic Application for Permanent Residence (eAPR) to IRCC.

Reality TV series ‘Bollywed’ features a South Asian family with a bridal shop in Toronto

今年早些时候在 CBC Gem 播出并可在线免费观看的真人秀系列节目《宝莉结婚》向观众介绍了一个南亚家庭,他们在多伦多小印度的杰拉德街经营一家名为“Chandan”的婚纱店已有 37 年。 The reality TV series Bollywed, which aired on CBC Gem earlier this year and can now be watched online for free, introduces viewers to a South Asian family that has run a bridal shop ‘Chandan’ on Gerard Street in Toronto’s Little India for 37 years.

CBC 的《金的便利》讲述了一个韩裔加拿大家庭的生活和他们的生意,这部 10 集的节目让我们得以一窥锡克移民家庭的代际家庭动态。它向观众介绍迷人的南亚文化和时尚世界,并聚焦印度婚礼和印度本身。 On the lines of CBC’s Kim’s Convenience, which follows the lives of a Korean-Canadian family and their business, this 10-episode show offers a glimpse into the intergenerational family dynamics of an immigrant Sikh family. It introduces viewers to the fascinating world of South Asian culture and fashion and shines a spotlight on Indian weddings, and India itself.

该节目以辛格家族为主角——父母贾廷德帕尔辛格 (Kuki) 和他的妻子萨拉布吉特 (Sarab),以及他们的两个孩子 Chandan 和 Chandni,以及儿媳 Roop。 The show features the Singh family – the parents Jatinder Pal Singh (Kuki), and his wife Sarabjeet (Sarab), along with their two children Chandan and Chandni, and daughter-in-law Roop.

Kuki 和 Sarab Singh 40 年前移民到加拿大,他们名下的名字很少。 1986年,他们开设了以他们第一个儿子的名字命名的婚纱店“Chandan”。一家人住在商店楼上,Chandan 和他的妹妹 Chandni 在衣架旁长大。除了为新娘、新郎和家人准备的结婚礼服外,这家商店还出售炫目的派对服装以及男女配饰。 Kuki and Sarab Singh, immigrated to Canada 40 years ago with very little to their name. In 1986, they opened their bridal shop ‘Chandan’ named after their first-born son. The family lived above the store, and Chandan and his sister Chandni grew up amongst the rack of clothes. In addition to wedding wear for brides, grooms and families, the store houses glitzy party outfits as well as accessories for women and men.

两代人共同经营家族企业时,充满了戏剧性和笑声。该节目还揭示了许多移民可能会涉及到的现实生活话题:从父母的期望(“孙子孙女什么时候来?”),成长为“第三文化孩子”,到旧方式与新方式的主题。 There’s plenty of drama and laughs as two generations work together on running their family business. The show also unpacks real life topics that many immigrants will be able to relate to: from parental expectations (“when are the grandkids coming?”), growing up as ‘third culture kids’, to the theme of old ways versus new ways.

那么这个节目的想法是从哪里来的呢? Chandan 说,当美国连续剧《Say Yes to the Dress》在 2000 年代初广受欢迎时,顾客会说,“你应该有自己的节目!” So where did the idea for the show come from? Chandan says that when the American series Say Yes to the Dress became widely popular in the early 2000s, customers would say, “you should have your own show!”

Chandan 决定推销这个概念。 “我知道我的家人的结合,生意是成功的秘诀。有一天,我在一场婚礼秀上遇到了 Gurjeet 和 Carolyn(来自 Heart Hat Entertainment,Bollywed 的制作公司),我们讨论了这个想法,现在剩下的都成为历史了,”他说。 Chandan decided to pitch the concept. “I knew the combination of my family, and the business was a winning recipe. I met Gurjeet and Carolyn (from Heart Hat Entertainment, Bollywed‘s production company) one day at a wedding show, we talked about the idea and now the rest is history,” he says.

Chandan Singh 说,由于他们的创业背景,经营这家企业对他们来说很容易。 “我父亲看着他父亲成为一名企业家,我也看着我的。和我妈妈一样,她看着她爸爸一生都在印度经营一家机械店。老实说,我认为这是我们的血液,”他说。 Chandan Singh says that running the business came easy to the family because of their entrepreneurial background.  “My father watched his father be an entrepreneur, and I watched mine. Same with my mother, she watched her dad run a mechanic shop in India his whole life. I honestly think it’s in our blood,” he says.

“尽管有时会让人筋疲力尽,但日常项目和活动以及销售带来的兴奋感总是让我们热血沸腾。” “As exhausting as it can be sometimes, the thrill of everyday projects and events, and sales, always gets all of our blood pumping.”

归根结底,Chandan 对新移民的建议直截了当。 “努力工作。要谦虚。说实话。” At the end of the day, Chandan’s advice to newcomers and immigrants is straightforward. “Work hard. Be humble. Be honest.”

他还强调了个人成长的重要性。 “始终通过阅读、收听播客和锻炼来锻炼自己。不要忘记对自己努力,如果不是比你的工作/事业更努力的话,”他说。 He also stresses the importance of personal growth. “Always continue working on yourself, by reading, listening to podcasts, and exercising. Do not forget to work as hard on yourself, if not harder, than your job/career,” he says.

Kim’s ConvenienceBollywed 这样的节目展示了移民在主流媒体中越来越多的代表性,以应对不断变化的加拿大景观。 2021 年的人口普查数据显示,移民占加拿大人口的 23%。印度成为加拿大新移民的主要出生地(占 2016-2021 年新移民的 18%)。 Shows like Kim’s Convenience and Bollywed demonstrate the growing representation of immigrants in mainstream media, in response to the changing Canadian landscape. Census data from 2021 revealed that immigrants make up 23 per cent of Canada. India took the top spot as the primary place of birth of new immigrants to Canada (18 per cent of recent immigrants from 2016-2021).
