Canada's
new class for immigration targets UAE applicants
Federal Skilled Trades Class open to selected
trades persons with experience in occupational areas
The Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC)
announced proposed amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
(IRPA) referred to as the 3-pronged approach. The approach includes the
introduction of a new class - the Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC).
"The new FSTC is open to selected tradespersons with
experience in the occupational areas," explains Deepak Kohli, President of
Transcend Consultants, a regulated Canadian-based immigration consultancy
office.
"This is a pass/fail system, meaning that the applicants are
assessed based on a set of criteria (as compared to a points system). The
applicants meeting all the criteria are selected."
The minimum criteria
to be met for the FSTC class are the following:
·
Ability to work in one of the trades (up to 2 job offers or
assessed qualifications);
·
Proficiency in official languages (minimum CLB 5);
·
Previous work experience in the selected trades (minimum 2 years
full-time); and
The occupations for
selected trade are identified through the National Occupational Classification
(NOC) are the following:
Minor Group
632 Chefs & Cooks (2
occupations)
633 Butchers & Bakers
(2 occupations)
Major
Group
72 Industrial, Electrical
& Construction Trades (33 occupations)
73 Maintenance and
equipment operation trades (26 occupations)
82 Supervisors and
technical occupations in natural resources, agriculture and related production
(10 occupations)
92 Processing,
manufacturing and utilities supervisors and central control operators (17
occupations)
The regulations are
expected to be implemented in January 2013 but may be possibly revised based on
public consultations.
