AFTER KUYA WILSON'S VLOG APPEAREANCE (KUYA WILSON)

I am receiving considerable number of inquiries after I appeared as a guest in Kuya Wilson’s vlog. I don’t want you to feel neglected, so I am posting this to respond to queries that are similar, general or broad.

For those who want to know more about our services, please visit our website at r3canadaimmigration.ca or this FB page, which contains the same information.

On how to come to Canada: there are several ways, which is why it is difficult to respond. However, there are Permanent Resident Programs and Temporary Resident Programs that you may consider. Please check my website and FB page for these programs. Once you know what you want, it will be easier to respond.

There are several of you who messaged me regarding fees you paid to certain agencies or consultants and did not get the promised results. I have already checked a couple of the names given to me and I did not see them in the CICC list of registered consultants. HOWEVER, you may have given me incorrect spellings. And also, I can’t be checking this for you all the time. So, feel free to go to this link to check your consultant’s name:

On how to ensure that LMIAs are authentic: there are ways, and you must use your sleuthing skills to do this. First, check the LMIA thoroughly. The employer’s name, address and contact information are written there. Then contact the employer. This should be your first step. Failing which, try contacting Service Canada.

Note though, that a proper recruiter should first spend time assessing your qualifications. Then schedule you for a meeting with the prospective employer. I find it suspicious when they ask for money first, before showing you their documents (actually it is suspicious!). And per my responses during my appearance in Kuya Wilson’s vlog, it is prohibited to collect fees from TFWs for the recruitment fees – and that includes the LMIA processing.

Be smart and sensible in entering into a contract. Read your documents, do some research and ask the right questions before you sign and pay. Ask for recommendations also, from friends and relatives in Canada. They are the best people to point you to the right direction.

For TFWs already here and are being abused, or are not paid their wages/overtime pay, etc, please contact the ESDC office (see link below) and the Employment Standards (ES) office (also see link below). I am just providing the link to Alberta’s ES. You can find similar offices in other provinces. Just google them.

Be proactive about your life. Do not be a victim forever. Seek help.

To end this, I won’t be responding to messages in my FB page unless they are serious inquiries. If you want to schedule a one-on-one consultation with me, please contact my office.

We are all responsible for helping to detect and deter TFWP misuse or abuse.Service Canada has various control mechanisms such as a rigorous labour market impact assessment process, Employer Compliance Inspections, and Ministerial Instructions to prevent, detect and deter misuse of the program

Visa-Exempt - Filipino travelers to Canada

I am getting a lot of inquiries (and I mean a lot) regarding this matter. It is true. Canada waived the need for a visitor visa for certain travelers from the Philippines. The exemption are for the following travelers:

a. if you hold a valid US non-immigrant visa (i.e. tourist visa); or
b. if you were issued a Canadian visitor visa within the last 10 years (and such visa had expired); and
c. planning to come to Canada for a short visit (6 months or less); and
c. entering through a Canadian airport (meaning if you are coming in by car, bus, train or boat, you still need a visa).

If you do fall within all of the above, you have to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before traveling to Canada.

If you do not fall within the above, then you have to apply for a visa.

The purpose of this exemption is to ease the workload of the Canadian visa offices abroad.

Thought I’d write a few words (or not so few) in this page to apprise you of what’s going on.

Not posting does not mean we were not busy in 2022. In fact, we were busy. Hence, no post. I could not find the time nor the energy to maintain a webpage. Even my personal FB page was quite from June to December.

That being said, I will try to change that in 2023. No promises though, as I find myself getting wary of social media postings.

2022 was a busy year for LMIA processing. After the covid-19 crisis, Canada recognized the need to hire temporary foreign workers to fill-in labour shortages across Canada.

We submitted several LMIA Applications on behalf of employers and they were all approved.

We also saw faster processing of work permit applications outside Canada (note: with a few exceptions). After the covid19 shutdown, IRCC is making up for lost time. I have had work permit approvals in a matter of 2 months. Not bad, especially after the pandemic. And quite surprising because that rarely happens.

It is still slow in the visitor’s visa category, but I am guessing that they are prioritizing workers. I am only guessing here so do not take my word for it.

Canada continues to accept student visa applications from all parts of the world. I admit to getting different results from visa offices. I am not complaining. It is what it is.

The Home Child Care Provider Pilot Program re-opened on January 1. I worked on January 1, at 7AM Calgary time, in order to submit the projects that I had pending since last year. The goal was to get in as early as possible before the quota is reached. Kudos to my clients across the world, who agreed to be on standby while I worked on their files. Canada is only accepting a couple of thousand applicants. Whew!

I will skip mentioning my successful projects in 2022. There is no need. My clients know who we are, what we do and how we do things. Most of them do not like posting comments, to keep their cases confidential.

To that end, thank you for your trust in R3 Canada Immigration Services and for reading this post.

Happy New Year!!! 🥰🥰

Sharing this posting from my client on March 20. What a beautiful sight to behold to see her with her daughters in Canada. As usual, I cant share any more details about this client except that she waited a long time for this. Her journey was not easy but she found love and then got reunited with her daughters after many years! 🥰🥰
