Waitangi Day – 2021
Leave a commentLeave a comment

Waitangi Day 2021

Happy Waitangi Day to all New Zealanders!

 

 

Waitangi Day is New Zealand’s national day. It is a holiday held annually on February 6th to commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi – New Zealand’s founding document – on February 6th 1840.

The Treaty made New Zealand a part of the British Empire, guaranteed Māori rights to their land and gave Māori the rights of British citizens.

The treaty was signed in Waitangi, a town in the Bay of Islands, by a group of Maori chiefs and the British Government, as represented by Lieutenant-Governor Hobson.

The day was first officially commemorated in 1934 and in 1957, Waitangi Day was proposed as a public holiday by the New Zealand Labour Party in their party manifesto. After Labour won the election they were reluctant to create a new public holiday. Instead, the Waitangi Day Act was passed in 1960 which made it possible for a local region to substitute Waitangi Day as an alternative to an existing public holiday.

The Treaty governs the relationship between Māori – the tangata whenua (indigenous people) – and everyone else, and ensures the rights of both Māori and Pakeha (non-Māori) are protected. It does that by:

  • Accepting that Māori iwi (tribes) have the right to organize themselves, protect their way of life and to control the resources they own
  • Requiring the Government to act reasonably and in good faith towards Māori
  • Making the Government responsible for helping to address grievances
  • Establishing equality and the principle that all New Zealanders are equal under the law.

The Māori language – Te Reo – is now an official language alongside English and New Zealand Sign Language. Increasingly, the names of places and organisations (particularly government departments) are written in both English and Māori. You will hear Te Reo all around you, including on television and radio and in the workplace.

Waitangi Day 2021

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern helps cook breakfast on the national holiday, which celebrates the signing of the treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840 by Māori chiefs and the British Crown.

This years Dawn Service was a little different from previous years, due to concerns around Covid-19. Around 2500 people joined the service which was held outside the Whare Runanga on the marae atea at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. There were a lower than expected number of attendees at the dawn service this year, but it was filled with karakia, korero, and katakata. So what is the significance of the timing of such as service – why is it held at dawn? We spoke to the Bishop of Te Taitokerau, the Right Reverand Te Kitohi Pikaahu.

Canadian Healthcare System
Leave a commentLeave a comment

Hi There,

Want to know more about Canada healthcare system? Read this blog and I am sure, we will give you more information about Canada’s Universal healthcare industry.

Healthcare in Canada is delivered through the provincial and territorial systems of publicly funded health care, Medicare. It is guided by the provisions of the Canada Health Act of 1984, and is universal. Canadian Medicare provides coverage for approximately 70 percent of Canadians’ healthcare needs, and the remaining 30 percent is paid through the private sector.

Canada’s universal healthcare system

If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may apply for public health insurance. With it, you don’t have to pay for most health-care services.

The universal health-care system is paid for through taxes. When you use public health-care services, you must show your health insurance card to the hospital or medical clinic.

Each province and territory has their own health insurance plan. Make sure you know what your plan covers.

All provinces and territories will provide free emergency medical services, even if you don’t have a government health card. There may be restrictions depending on your immigration status.

If you have an emergency, go to the nearest hospital. A walk-in clinic might charge fees if you don’t live in that province or territory.

You can click here to check your eligibility for Canadian citizenship.

How is Canada containing the cost of medical care?

Costs are controlled principally through single-payer purchasing, and increases in real spending mainly reflect government investment decisions or budgetary overruns. Cost-control measures include:

  • Drug formularies for provincial drug plans
  • Negotiated fee schedules for providers
  • Resource restrictions for physicians and nurses (such as provincial quotas for students admitted annually)
  • Restrictions on new investment in capital and technology.
  • Mandatory global budgets for hospitals and regional health authorities

 

Not just the above points, A variety of other quality initiatives are also in progress in order to make Canadian healthcare more helpful to the citizens:

  • The Optimal Use Projects program, operated by the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health, provides recommendations (though not formal clinical guidelines) to providers and consumers to encourage the appropriate prescribing, purchasing, and use of medications.
  • The federally funded Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement works with Province & Territory governments to implement performance improvement initiatives.
  • Provincial quality councils facilitate process improvements to produce higher-quality health care.
  • Provincial cancer registries feed data to the Canadian Cancer Registry, a national administrative survey that tracks cancer incidence.
  • Accreditation Canada — a nongovernmental organization — provides voluntary accreditation services to about 1,200 health care organizations across Canada, including regional health authorities, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and community organizations.

Everything you need to know before you immigrate to Canada
Leave a commentLeave a comment

Thinking of getting Canadian Citizenship? It may be one of the smartest decisions you make. How? We shall discuss the benefits of getting Canadian citizenship in this article. You need to know that the getting Canadian citizenship is one of the easiest.

  • Be a permanent resident
  • Have lived in Canada for 3 out of last 5 years (1095 days)
  • File your taxes, if you need to
  • Pass a citizenship test
  • Prove your languages skills

Now let us know about the benefits / advantages of getting Canadian citizenship.

Canadian citizens enjoy the following benefits which are unique compared to other nationals:

Dual citizenship

Canada does not make you choose between being a Canadian citizen and being a citizen of your home country. Depending on your home country, you may or may not have to make that choice.

Passport

Canadian citizens get a passport, which is easier to renew and must be renewed less often than a permanent resident card.

The passport allows you to travel to many countries without the need for a visa and makes it easier to get a visa where one is required. It should be noted this is for travel and does not give you the right to work.

Tax

Canadian tax laws work on residency rather than citizenship. You can be a citizen but not live in Canada, and therefore not have to pay Canadian taxes. If you are a citizen who does live in Canada, you are required to pay Canadian taxes on worldwide income and you must pay taxes at federal, provincial and municipal levels.

Political

Citizens can vote in federal, provincial and municipal elections, run for office and become involved in political activities, meaning they have a say in who runs the various levels of government that exist in Canada. That could be town, city, school board, province, territory, or country.

Citizens can run as independent candidates, or by joining one of the established parties

These are just few of the benefits you can enjoy by getting Canadian citizenship. Know more about getting Canadian citizenship by connecting with us.

2020-2021 Australian immigration plan level released after federal budget announcement
Leave a commentLeave a comment

The federal budget 2020 handed over by the Australian government on 06 October 2020, highlights the key economic recovery plans and soon after the federal budget announcement, 2020-2021 migration level plan was also released.

Key Highlights

  • Global Talent Independent Program (GTI) allocations have been tripled
  • Australia’s net Migration remains unchanged
  • Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP) allocations have been doubled
  • Allocation of General Skilled Migration for program year 2020-2021 has been slashed.

 

The Global Talent Independent Program (GTI) is aimed to attract highly skilled talent from around the world and has been tripled to 15,000 from 5,000 places as compared to last year. The Australia net overseas migration has been significantly affected due to travel restrictions induced by the Covid-19 and the net migration will remain at 160,000 places. While the government slashed the number of places for General Skilled Migration (GSM), Actin immigration Minister Alan Tudge told that this year’s focus is to give priority to innovators, investors and job creators to assist the country in its economic recovery.

6862 places were allotted for Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP) in 2019-2020;however, it has been increased by 6638 places for 2020-2021. The BIIP has increased to 13,500 in this calendar year. BIIP will be primarily targeting Australian venture capital and small and medium size businesses to support the economic recovery. The Family stream planning level has been allotted to 77,300 places out of which 72,300 places are allotted to partner category.

 

Onshore applicants with critical skills will be the priority

Actin immigration Minister Alan Tudge said that since the international borders were closed Australia had fewer people coming into the country, hence greater priority is placed on making Permanent Residence to those who are already in Australia. The Employer sponsored visa for specific skills in the critical sector will be prioritised over non-sponsored visas, with a focus on occupations on the Priority Migration Skills Occupation List (PMSOL). Prospective applicants in the non-critical skills sector might find it hard to secure an invite in this financial year, said Mr. Tudge.

Drop in General Skilled Migration Numbers

The government decision to drop the numbers in General Skilled migration (GSM) comes as a disappointment for many, who frequently monitored their immigration status and have gone to the expense to get their English tested and skills assessment done. General Skilled Migration (GSM) traditionally has been a preferred choice for skilled individuals, families and international students to permanently migrate to Australia and secure the Australian Permanent Residence. With the Australia signaling gradual reopening of international borders we remain positive and expect some changes in the coming days. Certain Visa holders who are unable to Travel to Australia due to International travel restrictions may be eligible for a Refund on Visa Application Charge, Waiver of Visa Application Charge, or Extend Visa period.

If you would like to know more, we invite you to schedule a consultation where we can assess your case. Our team of registered immigration consultants will be assisting you with the Australian Immigration Services.

Immigration law requires an Immigration consultant to be licensed by the Government Authorities
Leave a commentLeave a comment

There are several pathways that can lead to Permanent Residence to Australia/ Canada and it can be difficult to choose the best route based on your requirements. You can choose to immigrate as an International student, skilled worker, and family class or as an investor entrepreneur; whatever your choice may be, having your eligibility assessed can lead you in the right track and set you up for success.

In this article, we share, why an aspiring candidate should consider hiring a licensed immigration agent and to choose the best representative for their needs.

Licensed Immigration Agents

It is regulated by law that only certain group of people are legally allowed to provide immigration services for Australia/Canada applications for a fee. Immigration process in itself is quiet complex and who wouldn’t want their application handled by an expert.  A licensed immigration consultant would ask questions to determine your eligibility for several programs. Questions may be about your age, work experience, financial ability, and any previous applications.Based on the information you furnish, a licensed immigration consultant would explain the best possible options to migrate to Australia/Canada.

Apart from assessing your eligibility a licensed immigration consultant will also prepare and submit your application after both the parties agree and sign a retainer agreement (Contract). After hiring a licensed immigration consultant, the applicant must furnish all the necessary documents to the consultant who then submits your application to the government authorities.

Follow-up process

Once the application is submitted, your consultant will let you know the application status and updates from the government. Since the licensed immigration consultants are familiar with the changing norms, they exactly know what documents and information the immigration officer is asking and any additional things to include will be timely submitted. It is crucial to submit all the necessary documents, any delay in follow-up or submitting can result in visa rejection. It is also important that your case is properly represented. Any misrepresentation of information can lead to ban for up to 5 years, therefore it is highly recommended to hire a licensed immigration consultant for your Australia/Canada immigration application.

Tips to prevent immigration fraud

Below are few tips that can help you prevent potential immigration fraud

Unlicensed Immigration agent – Not everybody is authorized to be an Immigration consultant. Immigration consultants must be registered with (MARA for Australia and ICCRC for Canada). All the licensed immigration agents would be assigned with Membership ID’s which can be verified on the government portals.

Retainer Agreement (Contract)–A retainer agreement is a contract between the applicant and the licensed immigration consultant. Be sure that the agreement contains details like the Government membership ID number and a representative form. Also make sure not to sign any blank forms or forms containing false information.

Retainer Fee–Make sure you receive invoice and receipts of all payments, and the payment should always be made through cheque, credit card, bank transfer.

Processing Time – There is no absolute processing timeline for any type of immigration application. You may be advised of a timeline range (for example, 8-12 weeks), but no visa office or visa officer will ever give you a guarantee. This is because complications and delays may come up at any time during the visa processing, including background checks, medical exams, re-issuance of application forms, etc.

Application Approval & Guaranteed Visa–The result of your immigration application cannot be guaranteed. The decision for any immigration application is up to the visa officer. You will not know the outcome of your application until you receive a written decision from the visa officer.

Misrepresentation – Any misleading information of your visa application can lead to ban from submitting any type of application for a period of five years, which may affect your ability to apply for any application in the future.

How to choose the Licensed Immigration Agent?

Below are some of the tips you should consider before hiring a licensed immigration agent to represent your case.

Authorized Representatives–As mentioned earlier, only certain group of people are legally allowed to provide immigration services for Australia/Canada applications for a fee. Make sure that the agents are registered with (ICCRC & MARA).

Categories of services–Different agents may focus on different categories. Always check if the services offered by the licensed immigration agents are for the category that you are interested in.

Easy to communicate–A success of the process depends on how openly you communicate with your representative. It is recommended to have a consultant whom you can openly communicate and has an understanding of how to represent your application for maximum success.

 

The success and the failure of your application can purely be dependent on the consultant’s advice. The immigration policies keep changing frequently and having an updated advice is crucial in determining your eligibility.

Comprehensive Ranking System and tips to improve your CRS scores for the Canada PR Process
Leave a commentLeave a comment

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is a point-based system used by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to assess and score the Candidates profile and rank them in the Express Entry pool. The Candidates who apply under Express Entry for the Canadian Permanent Residence are assessed based on factors such as age, skills, education, language ability, work experience and other factors.
