Pois então, feriado de Independência do Brasil, e nós pensando em nos tornar independentes do Brasil....
Caros colegas aspirantes de uma tão sonhada Residência Permanente!
Estive fazendo muitas pesquisas para ver se já exisitia algo um pouco mais concreto com relação ao novo sistema de pontos do Processo Federal Canadense de obtenção do PR.
E acabamos achando informações valiosas!
Já existe uma PROPOSTA (ainda passará por uma votação, pelo que tudo indica) concreta para um novo sistema de pontuação. Basicamente eles estão propondo que o "Pass Mark" continue em 67 pontos.
E para entender um pouco melhor a PROPOSTA (e repito proposta, para que ninguém já começe a fazer planos uma vez que o sistema de pontos ainda NÃO é oficial) de nova distribuição de pontos, resolvi publicar aqui um texto encontrado em um Forum de discussão sobre imigração para o Canadá que frequento.
Neste texto esta proposta aparece de forma esmiuçada, mas contém todas as informações contidas no documento publicado pela "Canada Gazette" ha algumas semanas atrás.

_____________________________________________________________
The FSWC program will continue to use points to assess eligibility and the pass mark will remain 67 points. There will be changes to how points are awarded and to the requirements:
*
Language proficiency [up to 24 points for first language and up to 4 points for the second official language]
-
CIC proposes "(1) requiring minimum language abilities in order to
qualify for the program; and (2) significantly increasing the maximum
points awarded for fluency in one official language from 16 points to 24
points."
- "The number of points for the second official language would be reduced from 8 points to 4 points"
- Eligibility and points:
* First official language
° Minimum threshold in all abilities initially set at CLB/NCLC 7 - this would also grant
4 points per ability
° CLB/NCLC 8:
5 points per ability
° CLB/NCLC 9:
6 points per ability
* Second official language
° Maximum of
4 points awarded for at least CLB/NCLC 5 in all abilities
*
Age [up to 12 points]
-
"The revised selection grid would favour younger immigrants by awarding
a maximum of 12 points for applicants aged 18 to 35, compared to
applicants aged 21 to 49 who receive maximum points for age under the
current grid, with diminishing points awarded until age 46. With the
proposed changes, no age points would be awarded after age 46; however,
workers aged 47 or older would continue to be eligible for the program."
- Points would be awarded based on age:
18 through 35 years old:
12 points
36 years old:
11 points
37 years old:
10 points
For
each additional year of age, subtract one point so: | 38 yo -> 9pts |
39 yo -> 8pts | 40 yo -> 7pts | 41 yo -> 6pts | 42 yo ->
5pts | 43 yo -> 4pts | 44 yo -> 3pts | 45 yo -> 2pts and
46 years old: 1 point
47 and over: 0 points"
*
Work experience [up to 15 points]
-
"CIC is proposing to reduce the total number of points for work
experience from 21 to 15, and increase the years of experience required
to achieve full points, from four years to six."
- Points would be awarded for:
1 year of work experience:
9 points
2-3 years of work experience:
11 points
4-5 years of work experience:
13 points
6+ years of work experience:
15 points
*
Education [up to 25 points]
-
This measure would allow CIC to
benefit from a better assessment of the quality of a foreign educational
credential. Applicants whose credentials do not exist in Canada as well
as those who do not have a credential equivalent to a completed
Canadian credential would not be eligible for the FSWC.
Education
points would be awarded based on the equivalent Canadian educational
credential and points would be redistributed in recognition of the
credential's relevance in the Canadian labour market.
In the case
of applicants who have listed a regulated occupation in their
application, where a professional body has been designated by CIC to
conduct such assessments, the applicant must submit that professional
body's foreign educational credential assessment establishing that the
foreign educational credential is equivalent to the Canadian educational
credential required to practice that occupation.
Furthermore,
should the assessment of an applicant's credential by a professional
body not demonstrate that the credential is equivalent to the Canadian
credential required for the occupation listed in the application, the
applicant will not be eligible to apply in the Federal Skilled Worker
Class under that occupation.
All other applicants must submit a
foreign educational credential assessment provided by a designated
organization to demonstrate that their educational credential is
equivalent to a Canadian educational credential."
- Points would be awarded based on the Canadian equivalent with the following distribution:
Doctoral level:
25 points
Master's level or professional degree:
23 points
Two or more post-secondary credentials, one of which is a three-year or longer post-secondary credential:
22 points
Three-year or longer post-secondary credential:
21 points
Two-year post-secondary credential:
19 points
One-year post-secondary credential:
15 points
Secondary school:
5 points
*
Arranged Employment [up to 15 points]
-
The Arranged Employment Option would be replaced with the LMO.
"Employers would be required to apply for a labour market opinion (LMO)
to HRSDC, whether it is in support of a temporary work permit
application and/or a permanent residence application. Eliminating the
arranged employment opinion (AEO) and replacing it with the LMO is
intended to reduce the burden on employers in the event the worker seeks
to apply for permanent residence concurrently with a temporary work
permit application."
"FSWC applicants with a positive or neutral LMO from HRSDC could be awarded up to
15 points on the selection grid."
"Some
exceptions to the requirement for an LMO would apply with respect to
labour mobility provisions under international agreements such as NAFTA
and GATS. In these instances, employers would need to demonstrate to CIC
that they are making a qualifying job offer (i.e. non-seasonal and
indeterminate)."
*
Adaptability [up to 10 points]
- Up to 10 adaptability points would continue to be awarded, with changes to how they are accrued:
-
"The maximum number of points (10) would be awarded if the principal
applicant (PA) has qualifying previous work experience in Canada.
-
Spousal education would be replaced "with spousal basic language
proficiency to improve the likelihood of a family's successful
integration and to reduce spousal vulnerability"
- To get 5 points
for previous study in Canada for either the applicant or accompanying
spouse, "the applicant or accompanying spouse would need to have
obtained, studying full time in a program of at least a two-year
duration, the necessary credits to successfully complete two years of
study. For the purposes of adaptability, secondary school will be
accepted as an eligible program of study."
- Points would continue to
be awarded for a relative in Canada, but "CIC would be introducing
minimum age criteria to increase the likelihood that the relative will
be able to play a role in facilitating the economic and social
integration of the applicant.
- "Adaptability points will not be
awarded for spouses who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents
living in Canada, as they can sponsor applicants through the Family
Class."
- "Currently all applicants with qualifying offers of
arranged employment in Canada are exempt from providing proof of
settlement funds, whether they are working in Canada or not. The
proposed regulations would amend the exemption so that it would no
longer apply points to recipients of arranged employment who are not
working or authorized to work in Canada. All other applicants would be
required to provide proof of settlement funds."
- Thus, a maximum of 10 adaptability points will be awarded based on 4 elements:
1)
Previous study in Canada (studying full-time for at least 2 academic
years in a program of at least 2 years duration. For the purposes of
adaptability, secondary school will be accepted as an eligible program
of study.)
° Principal Applicant: 5 points
° Accompanying spouse/partner: 5 points
2)
Prior full-time work experience in Canada "under a work permit or under
section 186 of at least one year in Canada by the skilled worker in an
occupation that is listed in Skill Type 0 Management Occupations or
Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification matrix"
° Principal Applicant: 10 points
° Accompanying spouse/partner: 5 points
3) Relative in Canada (18 or older):
5 points
4) Language skills - accompanying spouse/partner - at (CLB/NCLC 4):
5 points
Pass mark would remain 67
________________________________________________________________
Bem, se esta proposta entrar mesmo em vigor, e o novo sistema de pontuação for mesmo este, creio que a maioria das pessoas que eram elegíveis antes, irão continuar elegíveis. O maior número de pontos será realmente atribuido pela nota do IELTS, o que ainda está um pouco confuso, mas neste link que passei do Forum de discussão isso é explicado com um pouco mais de detalhes.
Outra mudança importante é que o acompanhante do aplicante principal, irá colaborar na pontuação também se provar nivel de inglês bom. Acredito que não precisa ser tão bom quanto do aplicante principal, mas um nivel razoável parece que já pode adicionar 5 pontos na soma final... mas isso tudo ainda é especulação, e propostas.
Com relação a existência ou não de uma lista de NOC's, nada está claro. Já li em vários lugares que não existirá mais a tal lista, e que profissionais de todas as áreas poderam entrar no processo deste que pontuem o mínimo de 67. Mas também já li sobre a grande possiblidade da lista de NOC voltar como estava antes com aquelas 29 profissões em demanda.
Well well... só nos resta esperar se isso tudo será mesmo aprovado e se estas serão as novas regras!
Uma dica importantíssima que dou para aquelas pessoas que tinham notas razoáveis no IELTS, é voltar a dar um gás no preparo para o teste e tentar aumentar as notas. O que vale para o "spouse" do aplicante também.
Por favor, compartilhem idéias, pensamentos, situações pessoais que venham a acrescentar! Sejam sempre bem-vindos por aqui!
D & H
O post que já foi mencionado e este link vão ajudar com as somas. Mas para quem teve uma BOA pontuação no IELTS, tem entre 18 e 35 anos, possui pelo menos um ano de experiência de trabalho comprovado e cujo o conjugê pode tirar uma nota razoável no IELTS também, acredito que dá sim para pontuar 67.
