Canada Immigration Rules Changes

Planning to migrate to Canada after January 1 and with children above 19 years, then they need to make separate applications. At present children under 22 are considered as the dependent children and they will automatically get qualify to migrate with parents, if the application of the parents’ for permanent residency is granted.

Under the new scheme, children who past their 19th birthday have to apply with a separate application, by opening a fresh immigration application file along with permanent residency being issued or denied by checking the merits of the application. With work and education experience being a major aspect in the points test for giving permission to emigrate, new rule will make it nearly impossible for new applications to be permitted at last till the third-level education and employment experience build up the required points.

“These rule changes are going to make it a lot harder for parents who have older children to move here,” Dev Patel, an immigration consultant and paralegal based in Mississauga, Ontario, told Gulf News. “This rule change was announced about a month ago and I am already seeing a spike in files and people wanting to come to Canada are worried. I think that it’s important to spread the news that if you plan to move to Canada, the earlier the better. I know that Dubai and the UAE is often used as a stepping stone for many people from the sub-continent who want to come to Canada. I have several files on my desk right now and two families in Dubai will have to make separate files for their older children if they don’t follow through on the current paperwork.”

“The earlier in life immigrants arrive, the more their educational experience will resemble that of their Canadian-born counterparts and the easier it will be to learn an official language and adapt to Canadian cultural traits and social norms,” a says.
