                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>Go through your study permit guidelines </strong></h3>
<p><span>The best thing about working part-time in Canada is that you only need your study permit to secure a job. </span></p>
<p><span>It’s essential to go through your study permit guidelines on what you can and cannot do. The Canadian government notes that i</span>f you’re able to work during your studies, it’ll say so in the conditions on your study permit.</p>
<p>It’s worth noting that if your study permit doesn’t have work conditions on it, you can ask to have these conditions<span> </span>added<span> </span>if you’re eligible to work off-campus.</p>
<p><span>Some of the general rules surrounding work include: </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>Students can work up to 20 hours per week when school is in session</span></li>
<li><span>Students are allowed to work full-time during semester breaks </span></li>
</ul>
<p>It is also essential to take note of the average minimum wage per hour — this varies by province. According to<span> </span>Yocket, it can be between 11 Canadian dollars to CA$16.</p>
<p>You cannot work off-campus without a work permit if:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your study permit says you aren’t authorised to work off-campus while you study</li>
<li>You’re only enrolled in an English or French as a second language (ESL/FSL) programme</li>
<li>You’re only taking general interest courses</li>
<li>You’re only taking courses required to be accepted into a full-time programme</li>
<li>Your situation changes and you no longer meet all of the requirements to work off-campus</li>
</ul>
<p>“If any of these situations apply to you, and you want to work while studying in Canada, you need to apply for a work permit,” notes the government.</p>
<h3><strong>Apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) </strong></h3>
<p><span>To work in Canada, you will first need to obtain a SIN number — a nine-digit number issued by the government that gives you access to various government programmes and benefits. </span></p>
<p><span>It’s completely free to apply for a SIN number, and you can apply for it online, in-person or by mail. </span></p>
<h3><strong>Open a Canadian bank account </strong></h3>
<p><span>Aside from managing your financial needs and expenses, a Canadian bank account is also necessary for you to receive your salary. </span></p>
<p><span>According to </span><span>Logic Publishers</span><span>, popular banks among international students include Scotiabank, CIBC, RBC, BMO and Bank of China. </span></p>
<h3><strong>Be prepared to pay taxes </strong></h3>
<p><span>Any Canadian-earned income is taxable in Canada, meaning that a sum of your salary (usually around 15 to 20%) will be automatically deducted. For instance, if you earn CA$1,200 a month, approximately CA$200 will be deducted from your salary. </span><span>You may also need to report any income earned from outside of Canada. </span></p>
<p>Contact the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) if you have questions about filing your tax return in Canada. You may be able to get help at free tax clinics too.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To address all the needs of foreign workers, the Government of Canada issues different types of Temporary Work Visas depending on the needs of the applicant. There are 4 types of work permits or work visas that you can get:</p>
<h3>Temporary Foreign Workers Program</h3>
<p>The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is the standard temporary worker visa. It is issued to foreign workers who already have a job offer from a Canadian company and for which the company has already obtained a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from the Government of Canada.</p>
<h3>Open Work Permit</h3>
<p>The Open Work Permit is given to foreign workers who are going to Canada with a job offer but the permit allows them to switch employers. This is different from the other work permits/visas because it is not employer specific. The other work permits/visas do not allow you to change employers while in Canada.</p>
<h3>Working Holiday Visa</h3>
<p>The Working Holiday Visa is given to young people from 30 countries, so they can work in Canada and travel. It is a random selection visa which means that applicants will submit their applications and wait to be randomly selected to apply for the work permit.</p>
<h3>Post Graduate Work Permit</h3>
<p>The Post Graduate Work Permit is given to students who have completed a degree from a Canadian educational institution and want to stay in Canada longer through working.</p>
<h2><span class="ez-toc-section"></span>How to Apply for a Temporary Work Visa for Canada?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>
<p>An overview of the steps on how to apply for a work visa for Canada are as follows:</p>
<h3>Get a temporary job offer from a Canadian Company</h3>
<p>Depending on the type of work permit that you are applying for, you will most likely need a job offer from an employer in Canada.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you are getting an Open Work Permit, you will have the chance to switch employers and find a different one once you are in Canada. But if you want an employer specific permit, then you will need to find the job before you apply for it.</li>
<li>To get the Foreign Temporary Workers Visa, you must find a job in Canada from your home country.</li>
<li>If you are only planning to go to Canada and look for the job, then you must skip this step.</li>
<li>If you are applying for a working holiday visa, your chances of getting the visa will be higher if you already know where you will work.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are many resources online which will help you with your job search in Canada. You can visit different websites, or you can contact head hunting services in Canada and pay them to find you a job. Whichever way you choose, you will need the employer to agree to send you a job offer for temporary work before you apply for the work visa.</p>
<h3>The company you will work for must have a LMIA</h3>
<p>After you find the job, the company that has agreed to hire you must apply for a Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from the Government of Canada. A LMIA is a document which the government issues and serves as an authorization for the company to hire foreign temporary workers.</p>
<p>The company you want to work for must apply for it and demonstrate that by giving you this job, they are not taking jobs away from Canadian citizens of permanent residents. They must prove that there are no willing, available, or qualified people within Canada for that job position, and therefore they must hire foreign workers. After they get the LMIA, you must have the document and then apply for work permit in Canada.</p>
<h3>Submit the application for Canada Work Visa and Permit</h3>
<p>After the Canadian Government issues the LMIA to the company that has hired you, then it is time to apply for the Temporary Work Visa. You can do this online through the Government of Canada website or in person at any Canadian Consulate Office.</p>
<p>You must submit the application forms and the supporting documents which will be evaluated from the Consular officers. The officers might also ask you to have a medical examination as well as an interview to determine your eligibility and whether you would return from Canada after your work permit expires.</p>
<p>To apply for a Canadian work visa, you must submit the following application forms and supporting documents:</p>
<ul>
<li>Application forms which include:
<ul>
<li>IMM 1295 – Application for Work Permit Made Outside of Canada.</li>
<li>Schedule 1 – Application for Temporary Resident Visa.</li>
<li>Family Information Form IMM 5645.</li>
<li>Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union IMM 5409 (if applicable).</li>
<li>IMM 5476 – Use of Representative Form (if applicable).</li>
<li>IMM 5475 – Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual (if applicable).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Your passport which must be valid for more than 6 months after your planned date of entry into Canada.</li>
<li>A photocopy of your passport and all its pages.</li>
<li>Two photos as per the Photo Requirements.</li>
<li>Proof of current immigration status (if your country of residence is different from your country of citizenship).</li>
<li>Copy of your marriage certificate (if applicable).</li>
<li>Copy of children’s birth certificates (if applicable).</li>
<li>Police record certificates. You must prove you have no criminal record in the past and that you have been a law-abiding citizen</li>
<li>Proof of having enough funds in your bank account to finance yours and your family’s stay in Canada as well as enough to return to your home country.</li>
<li>Your resume or CV.</li>
<li>Your education diplomas and certificates.</li>
<li>Valid job offer from your employer.</li>
<li>The LMIA document.</li>
<li>If you will be working in Quebec, you need a Certificate d’acceptation du Quebec (CAQ).</li>
<li>Complete the medical examination. The officials of the Canadian Consulate may ask you to go through a medical exam to prove that you are in good health and able to work. You must follow their instructions and require a licensed doctor to sign your documents.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Complete the Canada Work visa interview.</h3>
<p>The officials might also ask for an interview to determine that you have submitted the right document and that you are being truthful. Most often, they will try to determine whether you will return back to your home country after your work permit expires. You must show up at the scheduled time for your interview and answer the questions honestly.</p>
<h3>Wait for processing</h3>
<p>When you submit the Canadian work visa application, the consular officers will have to process it and make a decision. Depending on the country you are from, the work permit processing time is between 3 to 27 weeks. After this, the officers will issue a decision on whether you can work in Canada or not.</p>
<h3>Travel to Canada</h3>
<p>If the Government of Canada decided that you can work in the country, then you can start making travel and accommodation arrangements. When you get to the Port of Entry (PoE) in Canada you must show them all your documents and your approved work permit.</p>
<p>The PoE officers have the authority to decide whether they want to let you into the country and for how long. Even if the Consular Office issues a visa for 6 months, the PoE officers can issue it for only 3 months and you will only have that time to work in Canada. After that, you will have to apply for an extension or return to your home country.</p>
<h2><span class="ez-toc-section"></span>How Long is the Canada Work Visa Valid?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>
<p>The temporary Canada work visa is valid for 6 months or less. After that, you have the option of applying for an extension to the Consulate or return to your home country. The amount of time that you are allowed to stay in Canada with all extensions is no more than 4 years. The length of the extensions though depends on the Canadian Consulate decisions.</p>
<h2><span class="ez-toc-section"></span>What are the Fees for the Canada Work Visa?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>
<p>When you apply for the work permit and visa, you will have to pay the application fees. The fee for the work permit is CAD$155. Every time you submit an application for an extension, you will have to pay this fee again. If you are applying for an Open Work Permit, the fee is CAD$100.</p>
<h2><span class="ez-toc-section"></span>Can I Bring my Dependents With me With a Canada Work Visa?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>
<p>The Canadian Government allows the person who has the work permit to add his close family to the application. The people who are allowed to accompany you to Canada are your spouse or common-law partner and minor children. When you apply, you must add their documents to the application too so as to be considered a family application.</p>
<h2><span class="ez-toc-section"></span>Can I Apply for Permanent Residence with a Canada Work Visa?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>

<h2><span class="ez-toc-section"></span>Canada Work Visa Extension<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Admission requirements</h2>
<p><strong>UK</strong></p>
<p>For UG courses in the UK, premier universities used to require 13 years of pre-university education. This rule was recently changed and now<span> </span>UK universities<span> </span>recognise CBSE plus-two certificate for admission to UG courses.</p>
<p>In PG courses, you can get admissions after finishing a three-year UG degree. Certain universities ask for GMAT to give admission to management courses, although only a few universities ask for it. Universities also give admission for management courses without<span> </span>GMAT scores<span> </span>as well. For science courses, you may not need to give the GRE exam so check with the university first.</p>
<p>Similar to the US, you might be required to have a few years of work experience in the case of management courses in the UK. TOEFL or IELTS may be waivered by the university but are important for the purpose of getting a visa.</p>
<p><strong>Canada</strong></p>
<p>For undergraduate (UG) courses, you need to have completed 12 years of schooling. To get admission, you need to appear for the<span> </span>SAT exam. The duration for degree courses is four years, and that of a diploma is two to three years.</p>
<p>In postgraduate (PG) courses, getting admission in vocational courses is easier as the admission criteria are a lot more relaxed. To get admission for management degrees you will have to appear for<span> </span>GMAT, and for engineering degrees you need to give the GRE exam.</p>
<p>The concept of cutoffs doesn’t apply to<span> </span>Canadian colleges. Colleges provide average scores accepted to different courses on their websites. That will give some idea about what’s considered a good score. You will also need to appear for language exams like TOEFL or IELTS, irrespective of the degree. There are some colleges that may not require language test for Indian students, but it is advisable you still give either TOEFL or IELTS as they are important for the purpose of getting a visa. If the visa interviewer is not sure of your spoken skills, they may not grant you the visa.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canada has more than 100 economic immigration programs alone. Because nursing is oftentimes considered “skilled work” nurses may be eligible for just about any program that has “skilled work” as a requirement.</p>
<h3>NOC code and skill level are important for eligibility</h3>
<p>Nursing falls into one of two categories in the Canadian government’s<span> </span>National Occupation Classification<span> </span>(NOC). Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses fall under NOC skill level A and the code is NOC 3012. Licensed practical nurses, NOC 3233, fall under skill level B.</p>
<p>These codes and skill levels are important in determining which immigration programs you are eligible for, what other criteria you must meet for a particular program, and whether you were invited to apply in a given provincial immigration draw. Keep these in mind as you learn more about Canadian immigration programs for nurses.</p>
<h3>Express Entry programs for nurses</h3>
<p>Nurses may be eligible for the<span> </span>Federal Skilled Worker Program<span> </span>(FSWP) and the<span> </span>Canadian Experience Class<span> </span>(CEC). These two federal immigration programs are managed by the Express Entry system.</p>
<p>Express Entry is an online system that manages immigration applications for the federal government. Hopeful Canadian immigrants submit their profiles to the system and get a score based on the<span> </span>Comprehensive Ranking System<span> </span>(CRS).</p>
<p>Express Entry candidates get points based on their skilled work experience, age, education, and official language ability, among other factors. The highest-scoring candidates get invited to apply for permanent residence in bi-weekly Express Entry draws.</p>
<p>Although draws for CEC and FSWP candidates have been paused during the pandemic,<span> </span>Immigration Minister Sean Fraser<span> </span>announced that they would<span> </span>return in early July. Also, the processing standard for new applicants would return to six months.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>FSWP eligibiliity</strong></p>
<p>The FSWP requires an applicant to have at least one year of continuous work experience within the past 10 years in a skilled occupation. The work experience may have been completed abroad. An FSWP applicant also must score a<span> </span>Canadian Language Benchmark<span> </span>(CLB) 7 in English or French on all four language competencies: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. In addition, they must score at least 67/100 on the six-factor test that assesses candidates’ education level, language skills, and whether they have a job in Canada.</p>
<p><strong>CEC eligibility</strong></p>
<p>The CEC requires one year of skilled work experience within the last three years. The work experience must have been completed in Canada. People applying with work experience at an NOC 0 or A skill level (such as registered nurses) must have at least a CLB 7. Those applying with NOC skill level B experience need a CLB 5.</p>
<p><span>Neither program requires a person to have a job offer but having one may increase your likelihood of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residence.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Provincial Nominee Program</h3>
<p>Although the federal government gets the final say on who can immigrate to Canada, the provinces can nominate certain candidates through the<span> </span>Provincial Nominee Program<span> </span>(PNP). Some PNPs are dedicated specifically to nurses, others just require skilled work experience. Sometimes, PNPs will hold immigration nomination draws specifically for nurses.</p>
<p>Multiple provinces have more than one program that welcomes nurses. Sometimes PNPs draw candidates from the Express Entry system and invite them to apply for a provincial nomination. If these candidates are nominated, they get 600 CRS points added to their Express Entry score. This award is more than enough to allow the candidate to be invited to apply for permanent residence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is a list of some of the PNP pathways for nurses.</p>
<ul>
<li>Ontario<span> </span>invites nurses to apply through its<span> </span>Human Capital Priorities Stream.</li>
<li>British Columbia<span> </span>offers a Healthcare Professional category under its<span> </span>Skills Immigration and Express Entry<span> </span>pathways.</li>
<li>Saskatchewan<span> </span>has recently launched an<span> </span>International Health Worker EOI pool<span> </span>specifically for nurses.</li>
<li>Nova Scotia’s<span> </span>Labour Market Priorities Stream<span> </span>occasionally holds draws<span> </span>inviting nurses to apply<span> </span>for a provincial nomination.</li>
<li>New Brunswick’s<span> </span>Internationally Educated Nurses<span> </span>(IEN) program is a pathway for foreign nurses who can speak English or French.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<h3>Quebec</h3>
<p>Quebec operates its own immigration system. While Canada still has the final say on Quebec immigration applications, certain programs like the PNP and Express Entry are not available in Quebec.</p>
<p>Instead, Quebec offers its<span> </span>Regular Skilled Worker Program and the Quebec Experience Program. Nurses may be eligible for either of these programs. Both of these programs require the workers to have a working knowledge of the French language.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<h3 class="p1">Foreign Nurses Need To Have Their Credentials Recognized</h3>
<p class="p1">Immigrating to Canada for these nursing professionals can be as simple as one, two, three.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p1">The first step for a nurse eyeing Canada as a destination for immigration is to have his or her academic credentials evaluated to see if they are up to Canadians standards.</p>
<p class="p1">The Canadian government recognizes five organizations for the assessment of foreign educational credentials:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">World Education Services (WES);</li>
<li class="li1">International Credential Assessment Service of Canada (ICAS);</li>
<li class="li1">Comparative Education Service (CES);</li>
<li class="li1">International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS), and;</li>
<li class="li1">International Credential Evaluation Service (ICES).</li>
</ul>
<p class="p1">Once the educational and background checks have been completed, the next step is for the prospective immigrant to have those nursing credentials recognized in Canada by the National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS), a step that costs US$650.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p1">The second step in the process for the foreign national looking to immigrate to Canada as a nurse is to create a profile on the NNAS application page.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p1">That requires:</p>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">The submission of two pieces of identity that must be notarized, copes of original documents that have been signed, dated and stamped;</li>
<li class="li1">a completed nursing education form that can be downloaded from the website filled out, and signed before being sent to the school where the nurse was educated for that school’s officials to complete and then send directly to NNAS along with academic records or transcripts, course curriculum and course descriptions and syllabi;</li>
<li class="li1">submission of the nursing registration form which is to be sent to the nursing licensing authority where the nurse is currently registered in his or her home country;</li>
<li class="li1">the nursing practice/employment form which must be signed and sent to all employers the nurse has had over the past five years for them to complete and send to NNAS, and;</li>
<li class="li1">the prospective applicant for immigration’s IELTS language testing results, which must be sent directly to NNAS from an approved language-testing organization or company.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="p1">Foreign Nurses Must Apply To Provincial Regulatory Authorities</h3>
<p class="p1">After that has been done and the documents have been received by NNAS, the nurse can submit his or her application and pick the nursing group and provincial association to which they wish to apply.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p1">These include:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
