·         The Federal Skilled Worker (FSW)

·         The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

·        The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

WWICS’ Guide on Warning Signs to Spot Fraud Immigration Scammers

 With the globalization, more and more people are moving overseas in search of better education, work and lifestyle opportunities. However, majority of people are not quite aware about the immigration proceedings, therefore, sometimes, they become vulnerable to immigration fraud.

As a team of reliable and leading resettlement service providers, WWICS strives to assist people who wish to live and work overseas following the correct and lawful processes. WWICS is totally aware of the various migration fraud and scams that exist today; therefore, we’d like to help you protect yourself by keeping you well informed about the warning signs to spot a fraud immigration consultant/company.

Check out these warning signs and save your dignity and money

·         Claims of a guaranteed visa

If any visa consultant contacts you, guaranteeing that you can get a visa in no time, it is definitely a scam! No one can guarantee you a visa or even influence the outcome of your application as only the official immigration department of a country can issue you a visa, provided that you meet all the requirements.

·         Offers jobs/opportunities that sounds too good to be true

 If you receive any call or email guaranteeing you a job you didn’t apply for, it can be a scam. No doubt, some companies today have difficulty finding workers because of skill shortages, but that doesn’t mean employers would go around calling or emailing people out of the blue.

·         Calls from people claiming to be an Immigration official

If you ever receive any out of the blue call from someone claiming to be a representative of government body, insisting that there are errors in your application and demand that you pay a fine as soon as possible; hang up immediately. Such types of calls are generally made by scammers as immigration officers do not issue penalty notices or ask for payments over the phone.

·         Consultants who can’t show proof that they’re fit to provide immigration assistance  

WWICS always recommend you to only seek assistance from registered agents as they have sound knowledge of immigration laws and processes. If you’re approached by someone claiming to be a registered visa/migration agent, ask for their Registration Number. Moreover, if they don’t provide you a contract or statement of the fees and services they offer, it is a clear sign that they are unregistered.

The bottom line is that there's no alternative to be careful and up-to-date with latest immigration proceedings. WWICS always recommend you to keep yourself safe by being vigilant and staying on the lookout for these migration frauds and scams.

4 Vital Factors to Look Into To Judge the Worth of Immigration Service Provider

 The cases of immigration fraud are on the rise in the new climate of immigratory uncertainty. Many people are reporting paying a huge amount of money to fraudulent immigration consultants. In such a confusing scenario, WWICS advises you to walk cautiously and check the suitability of the service providers on the 4 important points shared here.

• • Experience

The first thing to check while evaluating an immigration service provider is to look for how long they are offering immigration services in the market. If they are in the business since long, like more than 8-10 years, it somewhat show that they are reasonably good and experienced service providers and so the right choice for you.

• • Registration

Always choose registered visa consultant agents. Such service providers generally have the required skills and expertise to help and guide you. Make sure the representative should be a government licensed immigration adviser with competency standards and follows a professional code of conduct. For instance, the MARA registered agents can be considered right professionals to seek help on Australia immigration programs and proceedings since they are Australian Government recognized consultants.

• • Reviews

Another vital factor to look into to judge the worth of a service provider is customer reviews. Go for service providers about which the most of published reviews, are positive. Check the reviews posted on the quality of services offered by them online. However, you will get both positive and negative reviews. Carefully check all these reviews and come to a mature conclusion.

• Transparency & Flexibility

Checking transparency and flexibility shown could be the key to make a right decision while choosing an immigration representative. Make sure the consultancy offering visa services is really transparent and flexible in its dealing. There should not be any hidden or unpleasant surprises for you from the side of the service provider. While talking about flexibility, we mean that the visa consultants must be quite flexible in their approach and dealings and must be experts at taking fast and good decisions keeping your interest in mind.

WWICS always advises you to hire a competent and qualified immigration representatives or service providers and never retain help from someone who fails to provide you with a written contract. It is very important to keep in mind that getting the wrong legal advice and assistance from ill-equipped sources can have serious consequences.

A preliminary data released recently by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) clearly highlights that Canada continued admitting high number of new immigrants in the country in 2011. As per the data, no less than 248,660 immigrants were given Permanent Resident status in 2011, which consisted of 156,077 new economic immigrants, including immigrants on Canadian Skilled Workers & Professionals visa and 56,419 new family class immigrants and others.

Applicants with a job offer in an occupation where there is a shortage area are not affected by the cap. In case you do not have such a job offer, then the availability of visas is limited, since the 500 cap per occupation can be reached very quickly.

No sooner was the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa Program announced in December 2011, it became a popular choice for new immigrants with approval granted to over thousand applications. There has been an overall approval rate of 77 percent. year."

"Canada's per-capita immigration rate remains one of the highest in the world. Immigration has always been a sustaining feature of Canada's history and continues to play an important role in building our country. I'm pleased that the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is working as intended and giving large numbers of eligible parents and grandparents an opportunity to spend extended periods of time with their families in Canada," said Citizenship & Immigration Minister Jason Kenney.

Following are the requirements to be met with by Super Visa applicants:
• Submit proof that the host child or grandchild meets a minimum income.
• Demonstrate that they have purchased comprehensive Canadian medical insurance.
• Undergo the Immigration Medical Examination procedure.

As of 26 February 2012, 80 percent of Super Visa applications were being processed within 41 calendar days. As noted by Kenney that application volumes continue to increase, CIC will also maintain its aim for a Super Visa processing time of eight weeks or lesser.

Canada’s charm and immigrant friendly regulations help it maintain its popularity at all times."

Apply Early for US Visas: Immigration Officials Advise Indian Students

Aspiring students in India wishing to realize their study overseas dreams in the most favored destination country, the US, are being advised to apply for US visas at the earliest by the United States-India Educational Foundation and US immigration officials. The officials are of the belief that applying for visas early will give students enough time to prepare for their personal interview sessions.

Vice Consul of the Consulate General of the US, Jessica Pfleiderer stressed upon the need for aspiring students to come prepared well so as to clear the US visa interview.

"Applying early for US visa is the key to ensure a hassle free process for the students, who want to study in the United States," said Pfleiderer about the immigration process.

Adding to that she said for US Student visa applications, the period stretching between April and July is the peak season, which means those applying as early as possible will have more time to come prepared for their interviews, hence increasing their chances of getting US Student visa.

Emphasis is laid upon getting to know the interviewee better through the interview session rather than the information given in the documents of the applicant. This is why it is highly imperative that the applicants come all prepared for the interview.

Pfleiderer also warned student visa applicants to submit only real documents since presenting fake documents could make them permanently ineligible for a US visa, thus will be unable to immigrate to the US, ever.

Citing the recommendation made by the immigration officials, Lt. Col. B S Sandhu (Retd.), CMD of WWICS, the World’s Largest Immigration Group said, "Students aspiring to reach the US must apply for visas at the earliest so that they have enough time to prepare for the interview. It is their performance at the interview session which can make or break their chances of getting a visa.
