了解 IRCC 申请处理：服务标准 Understanding IRCC application processing: service standards

IRCC 使用服务标准来告知移民申请人和其他相关方移民部门希望在处理所有业务领域 80% 的申请时需要多长时间。 IRCC uses service standards to inform immigration applicants and other interested parties about how long the immigration department hopes to take when processing 80% of applications across all lines of business. 

与服务标准不同，申请的实际处理时间可能会有所不同，具体取决于相关申请的类型和处理申请所涉及的步骤。处理时间也可能因申请是从加拿大境外还是在国内提交而有所不同。 The actual processing time for an application, different from the service standard, can vary depending on the type of application in question and the steps involved with processing the application. Processing times can also vary depending on whether the application is submitted from outside Canada or within the country. 

以下是 IRCC 著名的服务标准，截至撰写本文时为加拿大众多移民计划中的一些服务标准。 Below are IRCC’s noted service standards, current as of the time of writing, for some of Canada’s many immigration programs.

Canada to reduce work experience requirements for caregivers

22 Feb 2023

几十年来，来自国外的看护人在支持加拿大家庭方面发挥了关键作用。认识到迫切需要护理支持，加拿大移民、难民和公民部 (IRCC) 宣布，将有资格获得永久居留权的护理人员的加拿大工作经验从 24 个月减少到 12 个月。看护人及其家人现在将受益于更快的永久居留权。 For decades, caregivers from abroad have played a critical role in supporting families in Canada. Recognizing the urgent need for caregiving support, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced that Canadian work experience required for a caregiver to qualify for permanent residence is being reduced from 24 months to 12 months. Caregivers and their families will now benefit from a faster path to permanent residence.

此外，现有的看护人途径下的一些名额已预留给已经通过之前的工作许可在加拿大拥有工作经验的看护人，以便他们能够申请永久居留权。 In addition, some spaces under the existing caregiver pathways have been reserved for caregivers who already have work experience in Canada from a previous work permit so that they are able to apply for permanent residence.

标准的转变将适用于来自家庭托儿服务提供者 (HCCP) 试点和家庭支持工作者 (HSW) 试点的申请人，包括 IRCC 已经收到申请的申请人以及五年剩余时间内的潜在申请人飞行员。自2019年试点启动以来，已有近1600名看护者及其家属成为永久居民。仅2022年一年，就有近1100名看护者及其家属通过这两个试点成为永久居民。该变更将于 2023 年 4 月 30 日生效，并且对已经申请的看护人具有追溯力。 The shift in criteria will apply to applicants from both the Home Child Care Provider (HCCP) pilot and the Home Support Worker (HSW) pilot, including those whose applications have already been received by IRCC and prospective applicants for the remainder of the five‑year pilots. Since the launch of the pilots in 2019, nearly 1,600 caregivers and their family members have become permanent residents. In 2022 alone, nearly 1,100 caregivers and their family members became permanent residents through the two pilots. The change will be effective as of April 30, 2023, and will be retrospective for caregivers who have already applied.

此次更新预计将使目前正在处理的大约 90% 的申请受益，这对刚起步的护理人员和一直在加拿大提供护理的人员来说都是一个优势。 This update is expected to benefit around 90% of applications currently in processing, an advantage for both the caregivers who are just starting out and those who have been providing care in Canada.

Tips to create your social support network and stay connected

22 Feb 2023

建立和加强关系以获得更好的健康 Build and strengthen relationships for better health

我们都经历过生活中的困难时期。有支持的人可以依靠可以在管理这些困难时期有所作为。研究表明，拥有良好的社会关系有助于改善身心健康。特别是，社会支持可以作为新移民和移民以及健康和认知能力下降的老年人、患有精神疾病的人以及因残疾、种族、性别或性取向而被边缘化的人等群体的保护因素。 We all go through difficult periods in life. Having supportive people to count on can make the difference in managing those difficult times. Research has shown that having good social relationships contributes to improved psychological and physical well-being. In particular, social support can serve as a protective factor with newcomers and immigrants and also groups such as the elderly who have declining health and cognitive abilities, individuals with mental illnesses and those marginalized due to a disability, race, gender or sexual orientation.

发展和维护一个足够的社交网络，让您可以与之交谈、共度时光、寻求帮助并感受到支持，这对每个人来说都不是一件容易的事。诸如找不到时间、语言问题、搬到新地方、缺乏社交技能、自卑、不受欢迎的社区、贫困等障碍是可能干扰扩大支持关系的一些因素。 Developing and maintaining an adequate social network of people who you can talk to, spend time with, ask for help and feel supported is not easy for everyone. Barriers such as, not finding the time, language issues, moving to a new place, lacking social skills, low self-esteem, unwelcoming communities, poverty are a few factors that could interfere in expanding supportive relationships.

以下是有关如何创建和扩展社会支持网络并保持联系的一般提示： Here are general tips on how to create and expand a social support network and stay connected:

  1. 通过列出您认为积极支持您的人（家人、朋友、同事）来评估您的社会支持和关系。 1. Evaluate your social support and connections by making a list of people (family, friends, colleagues) that you think are positive and supportive to you.
  2. 突出显示您定期联系并检查您的健康状况的人。通过与电话、短信或访问保持联系并与他们交流来回报。 2. Highlight the individuals that you are in touch with on a regular basis and who check on your well-being. Reciprocate by staying connected with phone calls, texts or visits and communicate with them.
  3. 确定住在您附近并在紧急情况下可以为您提供帮助的支持人员。附近几乎没有可靠和支持的人可以帮助建立一个富有同情心的社区，还可以通过照顾他人来促进安全和关怀。 3. Identify supportive individuals who live near you and can come to your assistance in case of an emergency. Having few reliable and supportive people in the neighborhood can help build a compassionate community and also promote safety and care by looking out for others.
  4. 创建一个正式的支持系统列表，例如您可以信任的专业人士，并分享对您自己或您家人的担忧或担心。家庭医生、专家、教师、安置顾问或治疗师可以帮助讨论可能需要专业意见的问题。 4. Create a list of formal support systems such as professionals whom you can trust and share concerns or worries about yourself or your family members. Family doctors, specialists, teachers, settlement counselors or therapists can be of help to discuss issues that may require professional opinions.
  5. 研究和监控在线支持网络和其他社交网站，这些网站可以帮助您与他人保持联系并分享您的想法。它们很方便，可以帮助克服可访问性障碍，并且与治疗服务等其他传统支持来源相比通常是免费的。但是，出于隐私方面的考虑，以及您是否过于依赖它们而不是面对面的互动，您可能必须监控您在这些网站上分享了多少关于您自己的信息。 5. Research and monitor online support networks and other social networking sites that help you stay in touch with others to connect and share your thoughts. They are convenient, can help overcome accessibility barriers and are usually free compared to other traditional sources of support such as therapy services. You may however have to monitor how much information you share about yourself on these sites due to privacy concerns and if you are relying too much on them rather than face-face interactions.
  6. 学会识别你没有足够的社会支持网络的领域和原因，并制定目标策略来加强和建立更多的支持。以正确的态度和努力，可以培养和加强新的有效关系。一些有用的策略是： 6. Learn to identify areas where and why you do not have an adequate social support network and target strategies to enhance and build more support. With the right attitude and your efforts new and effective relationships can be cultivated and strengthened. Some helpful strategies are:
  7. 技能发展：如果您遇到困难，例如与人打交道的焦虑、沟通技巧问题、自卑和自信不足，您可以制定一个计划来发展和提高技能建设小组，或者单独与教练一起工作。 7. Skills development: If you have difficulties such as anxieties of approaching people, communications skills issues, low self-esteem and low confidence, you can create a plan to develop and improve with skills building groups, or work individually with a coach.
  8. 寻找机会：如果您要搬到一个新地方，寻找机会与您的邻居、学校的其他家长会面，或参加当地的体育或文化活动。加入符合您兴趣的俱乐部、班级、宗教团体或社区组织。 8. Seek opportunities: If you are moving to a new place, find opportunities to meet your neighbors, other parents in school or attend local sports or cultural events. Join a club, class, religious groups or community organizations that match your interests.
  9. 与你认识的人建立牢固的关系：通过经常保持联系、邀请他们过来、拜访他们、倾听他们的意见和提供帮助等努力来拉近和加强与人的联系。 9. Develop strong relationships with people you know: Getting closer and strengthening bonds with people also comes with efforts such as keeping in touch often, inviting them over, visiting them, listening to them and offering help.
  10. 获得支持：在需要时寻求帮助和支持也很重要。当您不知所措或有无法与直系亲属分享的疑虑时，请与专业人士、牧师或同事交谈。 10. Get support: Asking for help and seeking support when you need is also important. Talk to a professional, priest or colleague when you are overwhelmed or have concerns which you cannot share with immediate family members. 11.贡献和分享你的技能：自愿帮助他人并与他人分享你的技能是非常有益的，也提供了与他人联系和合作的机会。 11. Contribute and share your skills: Volunteering to help and sharing your skills with others can be very rewarding and also provide opportunity to connect and work with others. 12.设定目标：当生活忙于其他承诺时，安排时间进行社交和机会。设定可实现的简单、具体和现实的目标，例如“我将每天与一个人交谈或每月邀请一位朋友”将是一个良好的开端，并为您的成功做好准备。 12. Set goals: When life is busy with other commitments, schedule time for social connections and opportunities. Setting simple, specific and realistic goals that are achievable such as, “I shall talk to one person every day or invite one friend monthly” will be a good beginning and set you up for success.

您可以尽自己的一份力量来扩大您多样化的社会关系，并专注于有意义和亲密的关系以促进个人幸福。尽管如此，对于机构和组织而言，同样重要的是制定公平的政策，帮助建立包容、支持的社区，并确定那些孤立、处于危险和需要支持的人，例如通过家访支持弱势群体和提供社会支持和反映不同文化需求的娱乐机会。 You can do your part in expanding your diverse set of social connections and focus on meaningful and close relationships for personal well-being. That said, it is also equally important for institutions and organizations to put equitable policies in place that help build inclusive, supportive communities and also identify those who are isolated, at-risk and need support such as supporting the vulnerable through home visits and providing social and recreational opportunities reflecting diverse cultural needs.

Four budget and money management strategies for newcomers

22 Feb 2023

海德·哈桑 (Hyder Hassan) 在加拿大生活的早期就接触到了预算编制的概念。当他和家人移民到这个国家并开始工作以帮助家庭开支时，他只有 15 岁。 “预算是我在抵达加拿大后的头几周内开始与我的母亲在 Harvey’s 一起工作的原因，”Hassan 说，他现在在移民安置部门工作，担任卡尔加里移民服务公司的首席执行官，但他的职业生涯始于金融服务。 Hyder Hassan was introduced to the concept of budgeting early on in his life in Canada. He was only 15 when he immigrated to this country with his family and started working to help with household expenses. “Budgeting was the reason I started working with my mother at Harvey’s in the first couple of weeks after arriving in Canada,” says Hassan, who today works in the immigrant settlement sector, as CEO of Immigrant Services Calgary, but started his career in financial services.

“当我们在预算中计算每月的租金和食品费用时，我意识到我的家人需要我的额外收入来确保我们的需求得到满足，”他回忆起他早年在加拿大的日子。 “As we calculated the monthly rent and food costs in our budget, I realized that my family would need my additional income to ensure our needs were met,” he recalls of his early days in Canada.

对于像哈桑这样的新移民家庭来说，在新国家开始新生活时必须小心理财，这很常见。一开始，他们可能很难找到高薪工作，而且可能不得不依赖他们带来的积蓄。因此，制定每月家庭预算是了解有多少收入（收入）和多少支出（支出），以及剩余多少用于增加储蓄而不是耗尽储蓄的好方法。 It’s common for newcomer families like Hassan’s to have to be careful with their money as they settle into their new lives in a new country. They may have challenges in finding good-paying jobs, at first, and may have to rely on the savings they brought with them. So making a monthly household budget is a good way of understanding how much money is coming in — income — and how much is going out — expenses, and how much is left over to build your savings, rather than deplete them.

哈桑说，对他的家人来说，制定预算和控制自己的财务状况很重要，并补充说去银行寻求帮助令人生畏。 “也许，作为当时的新人，我们不是高价值客户，体验非常具有交易性，仅限于开户。我们没有被告知[关于为 RESP 或 RRSP 账户之类的事情做预算]，后来在我们的定居之旅中从朋友和家人那里发现了这些资源，”他说。 Hassan says it was important for his family to budget and take control of their own finances, adding that going to the banks for help was intimidating. “Perhaps, as newcomers back then, we weren’t high-value clients, and the experience was very transactional and limited to just opening accounts. We weren’t advised [about budgeting for things] like RESP or RRSP accounts and found out about these resources later in our settlement journey from friends and family,” he says.

预算的好处 Benefits of budgets

花时间制定预算可以为您在加拿大的新生活奠定坚实的财务基础迈出的一步，尤其是考虑到当今生活成本的增加和住房负担能力的担忧。除了像 Hassan 那样为基本开支（如租金）预留资金外，预算还可以帮助您限制非必要支出。它可以帮助您量入为出，防止您陷入和依赖债务来维持日常生活。 Taking the time to create a budget can be a step toward a strong financial foundation for your new life in Canada, especially given today’s cost-of-living increases and housing affordability concerns. In addition to earmarking money for essential expenses like rent, as Hassan did, budgeting can help you set limits on non-essential spending. It can help you to live within your means and prevent you from falling into and relying on debt for everyday living.

它还可以帮助您留出资金来制定短期和长期计划，例如购买您的第一套房子或汽车，为孩子的高等教育储蓄，为您自己的退休储蓄，支付专业发展或培训费用，或者意外的紧急情况，例如抛锚的车辆。 It can also help you set aside money to make short- and long-term plans like buying your first home or car, saving for a child’s post-secondary education, save for your own retirement, pay for professional development or training costs, or for unexpected emergencies like a broken-down vehicle.

四种 资金管理策略 Four money management strategies

准备好开始预算了吗？您不必是训练有素的财务管理专家。这里有四种简单的资金管理策略，它们将大大有助于您在加拿大建立财务稳定。 Ready to start budgeting? You don’t have to be a trained financial management expert. Here are four simple money management strategies that will go a long way in building your financial stability in Canada.

  1. 了解你的实际收入 1. Know your actual income

第一个策略是了解您的收入中有多少真正带回家。了解以税收、养老金扣除、工会会费等形式从您的薪水中扣除了多少。为您的伴侣或其他有贡献的家庭成员的收入做同样的事情。 The first strategy is to know how much of your income is really coming home. Understand how much gets deducted from your paycheque in the form of taxes, pension deductions, union dues and more. Do the same for your partner or other contributing family members’ income(s).

另外，你有任何额外的收入来源吗？在这里，您可以添加您赚取的任何兼职、副业或自由职业收入，或加拿大儿童福利或收入援助等政府福利。 As well, do you have any additional sources of income? Here, you could add any part-time, side-hustle or freelance income you’re earning, or government benefits like the Canada Child Benefit or income assistance.

  1. 跟踪您每月的基本开支 2. Track your monthly essential expenses

接下来，看看您每个月必须支付的基本费用，例如房租和食物。 Next, look at the essential expenses that you must pay for each month, such as rent and food.

根据您的收入预算这些费用可以控制您的钱并减轻压力。对于其中许多常规费用，您可以通过网上银行设置自动供款，这样您就不会错过重要的付款。 Budgeting these expenses in relation to your income allows to take control of your money and reduces stress. For many of these regular expenses, you can set up automatic contributions through online banking so you never miss an important payment.

  1. 自己也要付钱 3. Pay yourself, too

你听说过“先付钱给自己”这句话吗？作为新移民或加拿大出生的个人，这是储蓄和积累财富的重要策略。当您为租金等基本开支设置付款时，请考虑为每月自动转入您的储蓄账户的金额制定预算。 Have you heard of the saying “pay yourself first”? It’s an important strategy for saving and building wealth as a newcomer or Canadian-born individual. As you set up your payments for essential expenses like rent, consider budgeting for a monthly amount that gets automatically transferred to your savings account.

它对哈桑有效。 “我学会了通过自动供款节省 10% 到 20% 的工资，”他说。 It worked for Hassan. “I learned to save 10 to 20 per cent of my salary via automatic contributions,” he says.

随着这些储蓄的增加，您可以计划您储蓄的目的，或者您可能希望如何投资这些资金。 As these savings grow, you can plan out what you’re saving for, or how you may want to invest the funds.

“我总是计划一年周期的短期目标（比如偿还债务或投资）和五到十年周期的长期目标，”哈桑说。 “I always plan short-term goals in one-year cycles (like paying down debt or investing) and longer-term goals in five- to 10-year cycles,” Hassan says.

  1. 看你的日常消费习惯 4. Look at your daily spending habits

预算是一种工具，它还可以帮助您跟踪每天或每周的非必要开支，例如每天的咖啡费用。人们很容易陷入琐碎的消费中，尤其是小额商品，却没有意识到它们加起来有多少。 A budget is a tool that can also help you track your non-essential daily or weekly expenses, such as your daily cup of coffee. It’s easy to get caught up in frivolous spending, especially with small-ticket items, not realizing how much they add up.

除了记录您的支出外，还要考虑减少支出的方法，这样您就可以将更多的钱用于未来的储蓄。提醒自己您希望储蓄的目的是什么，并努力实现这些财务储蓄目标。 In addition to keeping track of what you spend, consider ways to reduce your spending so you can put more of your money toward future savings. Remind yourself what you wish to save for and work toward reaching those financial savings goals.

跟踪您赚的钱和花的钱将帮助您控制自己的财务状况，并让您朝着实现加拿大梦想的方向迈进。 Keeping track of the money you make and the money you spend will help you stay in control of your finances and keep you on track toward reaching your Canadian dreams.
