How Quebec employers can hire foreign workers more quickly

02 Feb 2023

魁北克雇主如何更快地雇用外国工人 便利的劳动力市场影响评估 (LMIA) 帮助魁北克雇主有效解决该省的劳动力短缺问题。 How Quebec employers can hire foreign workers more quickly The facilitated Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) helps Quebec employers efficiently address labor shortages in the province.

如果加拿大雇主想雇用外国公民，他们通常必须通过劳动力市场影响评估 (LMIA) 获得加拿大政府的批准。 LMIA 的目的是确保雇用外国人不会对加拿大的工人产生负面影响。 If a Canadian employer wants to hire a foreign national, they must usually receive approval from the Canadian government through a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The purpose of the LMIA is to ensure that the hiring of a foreign national will not negatively affect workers in Canada.

政府必须得出结论，雇用外国国民将对加拿大劳动力市场产生积极或中性的影响。总的来说，应该清楚的是，没有加拿大人因有利于外国公民而放弃这份工作，他们将获得符合联邦和省级标准的薪水和福利。 The government must conclude that hiring the foreign national will have positive or neutral effect on the Canadian labour market. In general, it should be clear that no Canadians were passed up for the job in favour of the foreign national and that they will receive salary and benefits that meet federal and provincial standards.

在魁北克，便利流程并不免除雇主申请 LMIA 的责任。但是，魁北克雇主不需要为他们雇用外国工人的职位做广告。 In Quebec, the facilitated process does not exempt employers from applying for an LMIA. However, there are various occupations that Quebec employers are not required to advertise the position for which they are hiring foreign workers.

对魁北克雇主的要求 Requirements for Quebec employers

魁北克雇主不需要提供他们正在寻求填补的职位的招聘努力的证据，但他们应该在雇用外国工人之前尽最大努力招聘加拿大公民和永久居民。 The Quebec employer does not need to provide evidence of recruitment efforts for the position they are seeking to fill, but they should make best efforts to recruit Canadian citizens and permanent residents before hiring a foreign worker.

雇主还必须证明以下内容： The employer must also show the following:

  • 外籍工人符合工作的所有教育和经验要求以及国家职业分类的要求； The foreign worker meets all educational and experience requirements of the job and the requirements of the National Occupation Classification;
  • 外国工作的小时工资与在同一职业和地理区域工作的加拿大人和永久居民的小时工资一致； That the hourly wage of the foreign work is consistent with that of Canadians and permanent residents working in the same occupation and geographical area;
  • 所有高薪 LMIA 申请都需要一份过渡计划。但是，在魁北克的便利流程下，只有在同一职业和地点第二次或后续申请 LMIA 时才需要过渡计划。 A transition plan is required for all high wage LMIA applications. However, under the facilitated process in Quebec, a transition plan is only required for the second or subsequent application for an LMIA in the same occupation and location.

TFWP 魁北克试点项目 TFWP Quebec Pilot Project

从 2021 年 12 月 6 日到 2024 年 12 月 31 日，各种 TEER 4 和 5 类工作也免除广告和招聘要求。您可以在此处找到这些职业的列表。 Effective December 6, 2021 until December 31st, 2024, various TEER 4 and 5 category jobs are also exempt from advertising and recruitment requirements. You can find a list of these occupations here.

The Bank of Canada just raised interest rates again. What does this mean for newcomers?

02 Feb 2023

加拿大央行刚刚再次加息。这对新人意味着什么？即使经济放缓，加拿大仍在寻找新移民来填补劳动力缺口。 The Bank of Canada just raised interest rates again. What does this mean for newcomers? Even with a slower economy, Canada is still seeking newcomers to fill gaps in the workforce.

加拿大央行 (BoC) 最近宣布再次加息，最高可达 4.5%，或从 2022 年 12 月 7 日的 4.25% 上升 25 个基点。虽然这是过去一年中最小的加息幅度，但利率将在可预见的未来保持高位，使得增加支出比往年更加困难。这对所有加拿大人的日常生活都有影响，包括加拿大的新移民。 The Bank of Canada (BoC) recently announced another rise in interest rates, up to 4.5%, or up 25 basis points from 4.25% on December 7, 2022. While this is the smallest rise in interest over the past year, interest rates will stay high for the foreseeable future making larger spending more difficult than previous years. This has an impact on the day-to-day lives of all Canadians, including Canada’s newest immigrants.

加拿大是全球最稳定的经济体之一，但仍受到国际事件的影响。加拿大央行将石油、天然气和食品价格的急剧上涨归因于需求增加和全球问题，例如俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争。 Canada has one of the most stable economies globally but is still feeling the effects of international events. The BoC credits increased demand and global issues such as Russia’s war in Ukraine for the steep increase in price for oil, gas, and food.

央行表示，加息从长远来看将产生积极影响。事实证明，高利率可以减缓和降低通货膨胀率（商品和服务成本的上涨），去年 6 月达到 8.1% 的高位。 The BoC says that raising the interest rate will have a positive influence in the long term. High interest rates have been proven to slow and decrease the rate of inflation (the rise in the cost of goods and services), which reached a high of 8.1% last June.

此后，通胀率已降至 6.9%，但距离 2% 的目标仍有很长的路要走。随着利率上升和通货膨胀居高不下，新移民常常担心他们将如何在加拿大开始新生活。 Since then, inflation has dropped to 6.9% but still has a long way to go to reach the target of 2%. As interest rates rise and inflation remains high, newcomers often have concerns regarding how they will start their new lives in Canada.

高利率减缓经济并减少需求 High interest rates slow the economy and decrease demand

经济学不是一门精确的科学，但一些策略已被证明对经济有长期的积极影响（同时仍然使消费者暂时更加昂贵）。 Economics is not an exact science, but some tactics have been proven to have long-term positive impacts on the economy (while still making things temporarily more expensive for consumers).

提高利率通过减少需求来减缓通货膨胀。当加拿大人因为成本更高而花更少的钱时，整体需求就会下降。这种减少使供应商更容易满足需求，而不必提高价格。例如，如果人们减少购买，就会有更多的石油和天然气可供使用，供应商将更有可能降价以清理库存并获利。 Raising the interest rate slows inflation by decreasing demand. When Canadians spend less money because costs are higher, overall demand decreases. This decrease allows suppliers to meet demand more easily, without having to raise prices. For example, there is more oil and gas to go around if people buy less of it and suppliers will be more likely to drop the price to clear the inventory and turn a profit.

该理论认为，一旦油价下跌，在全球范围内运输物品就会变得不那么复杂和昂贵，企业可以降低成本。即使在油价下跌的情况下，鼓励加拿大人减少支出也会产生双重影响，企业需要减少供应，减少支出，从长远来看进一步减少消费者的支出。 The theory is that once oil prices drop, it becomes less complicated and expensive to transport items globally and businesses can reduce costs. Encouraging Canadians to spend less, even as the price of oil drops, has a double impact of businesses needing to have less supply, and spending less money, further reducing expenses for consumers in the long term.

如果需求减少，这对就业率有何影响？ If there is less demand, what does that do to the rate of employment?

加拿大新移民的一大吸引力是高就业率。随着人口老龄化和出生率仍然是全球最低之一，加拿大在多个部门长期存在劳动力短缺问题。 One of the big draws for newcomers to Canada is the high rate of employment. Canada has a chronic shortage of labour in several sectors as the population ages and the birth rate remains one of the lowest globally.

作为回应，加拿大于去年 11 月发布了其最雄心勃勃的移民水平计划，目标是到 2025 年每年接纳 500,000 名新永久居民。这是因为加拿大在医疗保健、建筑和专业等多个领域的职位空缺率仍然很高和科学服务。加拿大统计局的最新数据显示，这些行业对员工的需求超过了填补职位空缺的速度。 In response, Canada released its most ambitious Immigration Levels Plan last November, with a target of admitting 500,000 new permanent residents per year by 2025. This is because Canada still has a high rate of job vacancies in several sectors such as healthcare, construction and professional and scientific services. The latest data from Statistics Canada shows that demand for employees in these sectors is outpacing the rate at which job vacancies are filled.

去年 11 月，加拿大银行 (BoC) 行长 Tiff Macklem 谈到了继续雇用移民的重要性。 Last November Bank of Canada (BoC) Governor Tiff Macklem, spoke about the importance of continuing to hire immigrants.

“重新平衡供需的[一个]方法是增加工人的供应，”州长麦克勒姆说。 “我们在供应方面能做的越多，我们需要在需求方面做的就越少。预计雇用更多移民将有助于更好地规范高工资，加拿大央行表示这是必须的，因为工资必须放缓才能控制通货膨胀。” “[One] way to rebalance supply and demand is to increase the supply of workers,” said Governor Macklem. “The more we can do on supply, the less we will need to do on demand. The hiring of more immigrants is expected to help better regulate high wages, which the BoC says is a must because wages will have to slow to get inflation under control.”

提高利率和放缓经济增长，为企业提供了增加供应的机会。在许多情况下，这只能通过增加劳动力来实现。如果没有足够的工人在利率和通胀再次下降时创造足够的供应来满足需求，那么该国可能会发现自己又回到了起点。 Raising interest rates, and slowing economic growth, gives businesses a chance to increase supply. In many instances, this can only be done through an increase in the labour force. If there are not sufficient workers to create enough supply to meet demand when interest rates and inflation drop again, the country could find itself right back where it started.

这会让在加拿大买房变得更加困难吗？ Will this make it more difficult to buy a home in Canada?

加拿大目前缺乏负担得起的住宅。更高的利率意味着从银行借钱的成本更高，抵押贷款变得更昂贵，任何一种银行贷款都会花费更多。 Canada currently has a shortage of affordable, residential housing. A higher interest rate means it is more expensive to borrow money from the bank, mortgages become more expensive, and any kind of bank loan will cost more.

同样，这旨在减缓房屋购买速度，让市场有时间重建供应，或者在这种情况下建造更多住房。简而言之，新永久居民和加拿大人仍然可以买房，但会更贵。 Again, this is designed to slow down the rate at which homes are purchased, giving the market time to rebuild supply, or in this instance, build more housing. In short, it will still be possible for new permanent residents and Canadians to buy homes, but it will be more expensive.

加拿大最近还推出了一项旨在增加住房供应的新措施。根据新法案，只有加拿大公民和永久居民可以在 2025 年之前购买房屋。临时居民可能仍然可以在加拿大购买房屋，但附加的一些条件可能会使其变得更加困难。 Canada also recently introduced a new measure that aims to increase the supply of housing. Under the new Act, only Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be permitted to buy homes until 2025. Temporary residents may still be able to buy a house in Canada, but there are several conditions attached that can make it much more difficult.

对生活成本的影响 Impact on the cost of living

移民加拿大很贵。在支付了所有的申请费和差旅费后，寻找住宿、当地交通甚至杂货的费用可能比新移民习惯的要贵，这可能会让他们感到震惊。 Immigrating to Canada is expensive. After paying all the application and travel fees, the cost of finding accommodation, local transportation and even groceries can be more expensive than newcomers are accustomed to and that can come as a shock.

移民可能会以租房者的身份开始他们在加拿大的生活。加拿大目前的租金是自 COVID-19 以来最高的，加拿大的平均租金为每月 2,048 美元，比大流行前高出 12% 以上。随着利率上升和抵押贷款变得更加昂贵，房东继续增加租金以支付他们自己的成本。 Immigrants will likely start their time in Canada as renters. Canada is currently living with the highest rents since COVID-19, with the average rental cost in Canada at $2,048 a month, over 12% more than before the pandemic. As interest rates rise and mortgages are more expensive, landlords are continuing to increase rents to cover their own costs.

此外，从 2021 年到 2022 年，食品价格平均上涨 11%。到 2023 年，加拿大平均四口之家的食品支出预计为 16,288 加元。 Additionally, between 2021-2022, the price of food rose 11% on average. The average four-person household in Canada can now expect to spend $16,288 on food in 2023.

带走 Take away

加拿大央行表示，加拿大目前正处于温和衰退之中，这种衰退将持续到 2023 年。预计 GDP 增长将从 2022 年的 3.6% 放缓至 2023 年的 1%。 The BoC says that Canada is now in a mild recession that will last through 2023. It is expected that GDP growth will slow and decrease from 3.6% in 2022 to just 1% through 2023.

经济学家预计通货膨胀率到 2024 年将降至 2% 的目标，到今年年中将降至 3%。目前尚不清楚利率何时会下降，但加拿大央行预计在不久的将来不会有任何额外的加息。尽管如此，他们仍准备在必要时提高利率以对抗通胀，这将进一步限制支出能力。 Economists see the rate of inflation coming down to the targeted 2% by 2024 and a drop to 3% by the middle of this year. It is not clear when the interest rate will decrease but the BoC expects that it will not see any additional rises in the immediate future. That said, they are still prepared to increase rates if necessary to combat inflation which will further restrict spending ability.

短期内，加拿大可以预期通货膨胀率将保持在 5% 左右的高位，并且房屋、租金和杂货价格不会有任何显着下降。尽管如此，加拿大央行经济学家认为核心通胀已经见顶，2024 年 GDP 将略有增长。再加上通货膨胀率较低导致物价下降，新移民和加拿大人的经济状况将比今年强。 In the short term, Canada can expect inflation to remain elevated, around 5%, and there will not be any significant decrease in the price of homes, rent and groceries. Still, BoC economists believe that core inflation has peaked and 2024 will see a slight growth in GDP. Combined with lower prices due to less inflation, newcomers and Canadians will be in a stronger economic position than they are this year.

IRCC approves new English language testing provider for Canadian immigration

02 Feb 2023

加拿大批准了一项新的英语语言能力测试。 Canada has approved a new English language proficiency test.

Pearson’s Test for English (PTE) Essential 将成为加拿大移民申请人证明其英语技能的第三种选择，与雅思和 CELPIP 并驾齐驱。 Pearson’s Test for English (PTE) Essential will be a third option for Canadian immigration applicants to demonstrate their English skills, alongside IELTS and CELPIP.

加拿大移民、难民和公民部 (IRCC) 和培生集团都表示，这一变化将于 2023 年底生效，但没有具体日期。 Both Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and Pearson say the change will come into effect in late 2023, but no specific date is available.

根据 Pearson 的媒体发布，PTE Essential 与其同类产品 PTE Academic 相比，“更注重职业、现实生活和非学术，满足 IRCC 的语言能力要求”，后者面向学生。 According to Pearson’s media release, the PTE Essential has a “more vocational, real-life and non-academic focus that meets IRCC’s language proficiency requirements” in contrast to it’s similar product, the PTE Academic, which is geared towards students.

媒体联络员 Jennifer Bell 告诉 Moving2Canada，培生与加拿大政府合作确保测试包含人们实际使用的语言。她还表示，该语言将面向加拿大市场，而不是英国或澳大利亚风格的英语。 Jennifer Bell, a media liaison, told Moving2Canada that Pearson worked with the Canadian government to ensure that the test contained language that people would actually be using. She also said the language would be geared toward a Canadian market as opposed to British or Australian-style English.

“这是更多现实生活中的例子，而且措辞的水平适合以英语为第二语言的人。它并不太高，”贝尔说。 “It’s more real-life examples and the kind of wording is at a level that would be appropriate for people who have English as a second language. It’s not too elevated,” Bell said.

PTE Essential 将通过 Pearson 现有网络提供，该网络在 118 个国家/地区拥有 400 多个 PTE 中心。在加拿大，目前有八个 Pearson 考试中心：本拿比、卡尔加里、埃德蒙顿、蒙特利尔、渥太华和多伦多三个。预计将推出更多。 PTE Essential will be offered across Pearson’s existing network, with more than 400 PTE centres in 118 countries. In Canada, there are currently eight Pearson testing centres: Burnaby, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, and three in Toronto. More are expected to be rolled out.

考生将前往 Pearson 中心参加考试，考试由 Person VUE 提供，这是一个使用 AI 评分考试的程序。在向应试者提供最终分数之前，AI 评分由人工审核，它帮助 Pearson 在不到 48 小时内提供结果。 Test takers will go to a Pearson centre to take the test, which is delivered by Person VUE, a program that uses AI to mark tests. The AI marking is reviewed by a human before final scores are administered to the test takers, and it helps Pearson deliver results in less than 48 hours.

新闻稿称，培生还在中心收集生物特征数据，并在考试的口语部分使用语音识别软件，以确保应试者的完整性并提供公正准确的考试。 Pearson also collects biometric data at the centres and uses voice recognition software for the speaking portion of the test to ensure the integrity of the test taker and provide an impartial and accurate test, the release says.

PTE Essential 考生最多可提前 24 小时在线预约。考试中心名额全年可在全球范围内使用。可在 1.3 天内检索结果。 PTE Essential test takers can book online up to 24 hours in advance. Test centre slots are available year-round world-wide. Results can be retrieved within 1.3 days.

Pearson 的另一产品 PTE Academic 已经被加拿大、澳大利亚、爱尔兰、新西兰和英国 90% 以上的大学所接受。它也适用于所有前往英国、澳大利亚和新西兰的签证申请。然而，PTE Academic Online 不被接受用于工作和移民目的。鉴于 PTE Essentials 不能用于学术目的。 Another Pearson product, the PTE Academic, is already accepted at more than 90 percent of universities in Canada as well as Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the UK. It is also accepted for all visa applications to the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. PTE Academic Online, however, is not accepted for work and migration purposes. Whereas, the PTE Essentials cannot be used for academic purposes.

“我们已经看到 PTE Academic 如何帮助人们在他们选择工作或学习的任何国家迈出一大步，使他们能够说英语，”Pearson 首席执行官 Andy Bird 在新闻稿中说。 “我很高兴 PTE Essential 现在在加拿大被接受用于经济签证，并为我们的考试为考生提供的快速和高质量体验背后的创新和严谨感到自豪。” “We’ve already seen how PTE Academic can help people take a huge stride towards being themselves in English in whichever country they choose to work or study,” said Andy Bird, CEO, Pearson, in the release. “I’m delighted PTE Essential is now accepted in Canada for economic visas and proud of the innovation and rigor that sits behind the quick and high-quality experience our test provides to test takers.”

随着 IRCC 今年努力接纳 465,000 名新永久居民，作为未来三年接纳 145 万名新永久居民的更大努力的一部分，IRCC 宣布了新的测试提供者。这些新移民中的大多数可能是通过需要语言测试的经济舱课程来的。虽然加拿大移民都接受英语和法语水平测试，但对英语测试的需求更大。 The announcement of a new test provider comes as IRCC works to admit 465,000 new permanent residents this year as part of a larger effort to welcome 1.45 million over the next three years. The majority of these newcomers are likely coming through economic-class programs that require a language test. Although both English and French proficiency tests are accepted for Canadian immigration, there is more demand for English tests.
