1. What's new in Canada Immigration 2013?
Canadian immigration program has been undergoing constant reforms and changes for some
time now the reason behind this is that Canada wants highly professional and skilled workers to
immigrate to the country and contribute in some way to its economy. Moreover, the laws have
also become more stringent so as to avoid infiltration of wrong candidates to Canada through
immigration programs. The latest changes were declared in January 2013 and are going to be
implemented from 1st April 2013 onwards.
The new Canada immigration 2013 program
The new program is aimed at recruiting innovative immigrant entrepreneurs who has the
potential to create new job opportunities and contribute by increasing the economic growth of
the country. The new program was announced by the Citizenship, Immigration and
Multiculturalism Minister, Jason Kenney on 24th Jan. 2013. The Minister stated that the new
Start-Up visa is expected to make Canada the topmost destination choice for world’s leading
and highly prospering companies and for the brightest of entrepreneurs interested in coming
up with their own ventures. The new Start-Up Visa is aimed at attracting the dynamic
entrepreneurs from all over the world who can contribute in the economy of Canada positively
and will keep the country in the reckoning of global economic competition.
How will the new Canada immigration 2013 program help?
Through this new program, link will be formed amongst the immigrant entrepreneurs and
Canada’s private sector organizations who are experienced in startup works and also can guide
these new entrepreneurs and provide essential resources for making a foray into the business
world. The program is being considered as an integral part of the series in which
transformational changes to the system of Canadian immigration will take place and will make
it flexible, faster with enhanced focus on the need of Canada’s economic growth.
It is an understood fact that the new entrepreneurs, who will be provided with the immigrant
visa under the new program, will require some amount of local support to establish and
flourish. That is why; these new entrepreneurs will have to establish their association with any
of the angel investor group from Canada or Venture capital fund before applying for the new
Start-Up visa program. During the starting phase, the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)
will be collaborating with two other umbrella groups: National Angel Capital Organization
(NACO) and the Canada’s Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (CVCA).
2. The new immigration program has been developed for giving a boost to the Canadian economy
and all attempts are being made to attract the highly qualified professionals who on their own
are capable of coming up with new business ventures and enterprises and can employ the
jobless labors in the country. At present, Canada has special sectors where there is a huge
vacuum of joblessness and many workers are jobless or doing work below their caliber and
qualification. Canada wants to tap these areas so that overall growth is made possible and
Canada comes in the reckoning of one of the most affluent and growth oriented countries in
the world.
