"We're finally on the field, we've had quite a run--" "Immigrants, we get the job done!"

American founding father musical x green triangle cosmic horror ttrpg was not on my 2024 bingo card but, uh, sorry LMAO I kept looping Hamilton during my internship and both Finan and Gavrill/Hrothgar are Canadian immigrants, sooooo...

I've been so busy, I first made the file for this drawing on 29 Aug and only finished it exactly a month later. But I've only really worked on it in the past few days, how embarassing :') process shots and a bit of rambling are under the cut!

The original idea was to have the background white, but then I accidentally inverted the white bits of the background which made it go black, and I thought it looked pretty cool! This was really a trust-the-process drawing, too. The lines are nice, but I wasn't really feeling it until I accidentally made the background black LOL

Both guys are wielding the guns they use the most in the game. Gavrill has a RPK-74 Kalashnikov (light automatic rifle with 10% lethality, something he's used to from fighting in Chechen wars), while Finan has an SPAS-12 (shotgun, model made by Griefyn on Sketchfab).

Finan 🤝 Gavrill dubiously straight male wifeguys who immigrated from an Islamic region to Canada for a better life only to end up working at an organisation that fights the Unnatural, lose their partner who's firecly skilled in a field of study (and their partners' lost is a part of a bigger conspiracy), wear wedding band(s) to commemorate said partner, never properly processed their grief and guilt so it turns into some flavour of obsession, are/were pretty depressed ngl without being mechanically depressed, but pretend everything's fine with their immediate family. I swear they are different characters LMAO

Also, I worked on this in Indonesia, Canada, and on the flight from the latter to the former (sponsored by The White Vault). Packing my bigass screen tablet away while the plane was suddenly hit with wild turbulene was NOOOT fun HAHA I'm telling you, my bag and I were some centimeteres off the air before I crashed to the ground so hard, I was forced on my knee (and the seatbelt light was off before that lmao)

[hawkeyedflame]

i guess i'm a touch late but,

2023 was a truly amazing year for me. i feel so blessed to be healthy and alive and experiencing the beauty in the world in spite of all the setbacks i've had over the years.

i was able to travel to canada and see the breathtaking rocky mountains three times this year. my wife was able to visit with me as well, and two of my best friends from out of state traveled down to visit me/us over the summer. our immigration decision will be handed down very soon, and we will finally be able to close this difficult chapter of our lives for good.

my brother and sister-in-law blessed our family with another child over the summer and he is precious in every way. my niece continues to be a joy to watch grow and engage with the world. i got a better job, with much higher pay, a wonderful team of coworkers, and a very generous work-life balance. i picked up running again this year, feeling finally healthy enough to move my body in ways i hadn't been able to in an entire decade, and even started racing again. i'm running a marathon in april with some friends. i go to the gym at work every weekday. i have been hiking and snowboarding. i've taken up learning the irish language, i've re-committed to learning how to draw, and i've been making and maintaining healthy habits slowly over the year. i have friends i see regularly and most days i forget my computer even exists, which is surreal to me as someone who used to be extremely dependent on, probably addicted to, social media and video games as escapism.

my mental health is practically perfect, not even a whisper of depression or anxiety, thanks entirely to my diet, which has in turn allowed an upward spiral of productivity and genuine living that has driven me past merely not being ill, into the territory of being near-constantly joyful and deeply at peace with myself.

i got a tattoo which has become a source of confidence and assurance, a small but bold reminder that i am strong enough to be true to myself and live my life honestly and for the benefit of my family and community. i have brought healing to many people this year and my hope is that the effects continue to ripple outwards into the world over and over.

nearly nothing bad happened to me or my loved ones in 2023. it was easily the best year of my life and i genuinely believe 2024 will be even better. normally i'd cry out not to jinx it, but i believe it will be better because i am better, and i will continue to shape better and better versions of myself. i hope this year will be good for everyone else, too.

[creativemorningsvancouver]

The first event of 2024 will feature renowned sculptor Marie Khouri who will share her incredible personal story of creativity through the lens of the global theme RISE.

Born in Egypt and raised in Lebanon, Marie Khouri relays messages of movement, community, and connection through her artworks. As an immigrant spending time across Europe before truly settling in Canada, Khouri’s work speaks to a unified and diverse audience, creating sculptures that unify communities. With her works rooted in a profound sense of dislocation and the search for a greater sense of place, her sculptures are formed through extensive hands-on process that employs traditional sculpting techniques alongside contemporary innovations in material and building standards. Khouri was just honoured as the Award of Distinction in the 2023 Applied Art + Design Awards by BC Achievement Foundation.

Every month we ask our speaker a handful of probing questions to give us a deeper glimpse into their life and relationship with creativity:

How do you define creativity and apply it in your life and career? When asked about how I define creativity and apply it in my life and career, I express that for me, creativity is not just a sporadic occurrence but an everyday phenomenon. It permeates various aspects of my life, from the way I dress and cook to my behavior and work. I draw inspiration from everyday things, whether it be an image, a reading, or a simple walk, emphasizing the importance of finding creativity in the ordinary.

Where do you find your best creative inspiration or energy? Reflecting on where I find my best creative inspiration or energy, I stress that inspiration often stems from everyday experiences, such as images, readings, or walks—especially those by the sea. I emphasize the significance of not merely looking at things but truly seeing them, delving beneath the surface. Ultimately, I highlight the pivotal moment when I can apply this creative inspiration in the studio, manifesting it into the everyday things I create.

What’s one piece of creative advice or a tip you wish you’d known as a young person? In response to the question about creative advice for young individuals, I suggest embracing every moment and experience, emphasizing that tips and advice are valuable additions to one’s creative journey. Stressing the importance of taking life one step at a time.

Who (living or dead) would you most enjoy hearing speak at CreativeMornings? When asked about the dream speaker at CreativeMornings, I express a desire to hear Louise Bourgeois, citing her groundbreaking contributions to sculpture and feminist art during her time. I appreciate her ability to break the mold, highlighting her role as an abstract expressionist in feminist art.

What did you learn from your most memorable creative failure? Answering the question about the most memorable creative failure, I share the lesson learned—that accidents can lead to creative successes. I draw a parallel to Bob Ross’s philosophy that there are no creative mistakes, only happy accidents. I emphasize the iterative nature of art, where mistakes can often pave the way for unique and creative outcomes.

What fact about you would surprise people? Regarding a surprising fact about myself, I reveal that I speak five languages, worked as an interpreter before becoming an artist, and even had a background in finance. This unexpected facet adds depth to my identity beyond the realm of art.

How does your life and career compare to what you envisioned for your future as a sixth grader? When asked to compare my life and career to the visions I had as a sixth grader, I explain that, due to existing in a difficult reality during a civil war in my home country, I was incapable of dreaming at that age. This experience shaped my perspective on life and dreams.

How would you describe what you do in a single sentence to a stranger? “I play with clay,” encapsulating the essence of my artistic endeavors.

If you could open a door and go anywhere, where would that be? In response to the hypothetical scenario of opening a door and going anywhere, I express a desire to be in my home, Paris, France..

What keeps you awake at night? Delving into what keeps me awake at night, I humorously attribute it to my “creative juices,” emphasizing the constant flow of ideas and inspiration that fuels my artistic endeavors.

What are you proudest of in your life? When asked about what I am proudest of in my life, I unequivocally cite my children as my greatest source of pride, followed by my achievements in public art.

What has been one of your biggest Aha! moments in life? Recalling one of my biggest “Aha!” moments in life, I share the profound experience of witnessing the installation of my first public art piece—VANTAGE—a moment that solidified the impact of my creative contributions.

Esse India: A Comprehensive Overview of Canadian, Australian, and German Permanent Residency

At Esse India, we recognize the growing interest among skilled professionals, students, and families in securing permanent residency (PR) in countries like Canada, Australia, and Germany. These nations are known for their strong economies, high quality of life, and attractive immigration pathways. Each country has tailored programs to suit the unique skills and qualifications of applicants. Whether you're interested in Canada’s Express Entry, Australia's Global Talent Stream, or Germany's EU Blue Card, understanding the processes and requirements is vital to achieving your immigration goals.

1. Canadian Permanent Residency (PR)

Canada is renowned for its welcoming immigration policies, making it one of the most sought-after destinations for individuals seeking PR. The country offers a range of immigration programs managed by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), with Express Entry being one of the most popular systems.

Express Entry and Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)

The Express Entry system governs three major economic immigration programs:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Applicants are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), which allocates points based on key factors such as age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. Regular Express Entry draws are held to issue Invitations (to Apply ITAs) to candidates with the highest CRS scores.

In recent draws:

September 19, 2024: 4,000 ITAs were issued to Canadian Experience Class candidates with a minimum CRS score of 509.

August 27, 2024: 3,300 ITAs were issued to CEC candidates with a minimum CRS score of 507.

The competitiveness of the Express Entry system means even small differences in CRS scores can significantly impact eligibility. Factors such as language proficiency (in English or French), educational qualifications, and having a job offer or provincial nomination can significantly boost CRS scores.

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

For candidates with lower CRS scores, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) offers an alternative route to Canadian PR. Provinces such as British Columbia (BCPNP), Manitoba (MPNP), and New Brunswick (NBPNP) nominate candidates based on regional labor market needs. A provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points, significantly increasing the likelihood of receiving an ITA in subsequent Express Entry draws.

At Esse India, we provide specialized assistance to clients applying for Canada PR from India. Our experienced team guides you through the entire Canada PR process, from meeting the Canadian permanent residency requirements to preparing the necessary documentation. We ensure a seamless application process, helping you achieve your immigration goals efficiently.

2. Australia Permanent Residency (PR)

Australia is another prime destination for individuals seeking permanent residency. Known for its strong economy and high demand for skilled professionals, Australia's immigration system offers multiple pathways to PR, particularly through the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program.

General Skilled Migration (GSM)

The GSM program is a points-based system that includes visas such as:

Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)

Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)

Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491)

Applicants are scored on various factors, including age, education, work experience, and English language skills. High-scoring applicants are invited to apply for PR. The Australia PR process requires applicants to meet the points test threshold, with State Nomination offering additional points to improve eligibility.

Global Talent Stream in Australia

For highly skilled professionals in industries like IT, engineering, and healthcare, Australia offers the Global Talent Stream, a fast-track program to permanent residency. Applicants with expertise in critical sectors can receive priority processing through this stream.

Australia Immigration Consultants in India

At Esse India, we specialize in providing end-to-end support for the Australia PR procedure. Our experts assist clients with understanding the Australia PR process, including the eligibility criteria, required documents, and application steps. We help streamline the process, ensuring clients can efficiently navigate the Australian immigration system from India.

3. Germany Permanent Residency (PR)

Germany offers a robust immigration system tailored to professionals with high qualifications and those in critical sectors such as technology, engineering, and healthcare. With its strong economy and high demand for skilled workers, Germany provides a clear path to permanent residency through programs like the EU Blue Card.

EU Blue Card

The EU Blue Card is the preferred route for non-EU nationals seeking to live and work in Germany. To qualify, applicants must have a job offer that meets the minimum salary requirement and hold a recognized university degree. After working with an EU Blue Card for 21 to 33 months (depending on language proficiency), individuals can apply for permanent residency.

Global Talent Stream in Germany

Germany’s Global Talent Stream allows exceptionally skilled professionals in fields like engineering, science, and technology to fast-track their residency and visa applications. This stream addresses Germany's need for talent in key sectors, offering a quicker route to PR.

Germany PR Process

The Germany permanent residency process involves obtaining a work visa, fulfilling residency requirements, and proving language proficiency. Once these criteria are met, individuals can apply for permanent residency under the Germany PR procedure.

Germany Immigration Consultants in India

At Esse India, we offer tailored guidance for Indian nationals looking to apply for Germany PR. Our team is well-versed in the PR process for Germany from India, offering expert assistance with documentation, compliance, and application submission. We ensure our clients meet all requirements for a successful PR application.

4. Work and Study Opportunities in Canada, Australia, and Germany

For individuals seeking both work and study opportunities, Canada, Australia, and Germany offer excellent programs. Many universities provide scholarships and work-study options, allowing international students to manage their expenses while pursuing their education.

Study and Work in Canada

Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international students to work for up to three years after graduation, providing valuable work experience that can be leveraged to apply for PR through the Canadian Experience Class.

Study and Work in Australia

Australia offers the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485), which allows students to remain in the country and work after completing their studies. This work experience can improve their points for the GSM program.

Study and Work in Germany

Germany’s Job Seeker Visa enables graduates to stay in the country for up to 18 months to find employment. Once employed, they can apply for a work visa or the EU Blue Card, eventually leading to PR.

Conclusion

At Esse India, we are dedicated to helping our clients navigate the complex immigration processes of Canada, Australia, and Germany. Whether you’re seeking permanent residency, work visas, or study opportunities, our team of experienced consultants ensures that your applications meet all necessary criteria. We are here to support you in every step of your immigration journey, offering personalized solutions to help you achieve your international aspirations.

September 2024: Overview of the Express Entry Pool

August witnessed five Express Entry draws, with Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) issuing over 10,000 ITAs. This marked a return to the regular bi-weekly draw schedule.

The draws in August highlight recent changes introduced by Minister of Immigration Marc Miller. For instance, the increased focus on Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws aligns with Miller’s March announcement, where he expressed a commitment to prioritizing more “domestic” draws within the federal immigration system. He also indicated that he would urge provincial counterparts to adopt a similar approach with their PNPs.

The Easiest Way to Immigrate to Canada and Obtain PR in 2024 | Perfection Migration

Canada offers several immigration pathways to obtain PR. Below are the most accessible and popular routes for individuals looking to move to Canada in 2024:

1. Express Entry Program

The Express Entry Program remains the easiest and most efficient pathway for skilled workers to obtain Canadian PR. This system manages applications for three key immigration programs:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

How Express Entry Works:

Create an Express Entry Profile: Candidates need to create an online profile that includes details like age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability.

Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS): The profile is scored based on the Comprehensive Ranking System, and candidates are ranked in the pool of applicants.

Invitation to Apply (ITA): The highest-scoring candidates receive an Invitation to Apply for PR during regular draws conducted by the Canadian government.

Submit Your PR Application: After receiving the ITA, candidates have 60 days to submit a complete PR application, which typically gets processed within six months.

Why Express Entry is the Easiest:

Fast Processing Times: With an average processing time of six months, it’s one of the quickest ways to obtain PR in Canada.

No Job Offer Required: While having a job offer can boost your CRS score, it is not mandatory for Express Entry, making it accessible to individuals without employment in Canada.

2. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)

Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) allow provinces and territories to nominate individuals who wish to settle in a particular province. Many PNPs are aligned with the Express Entry system, providing a faster route to PR.

How PNP Works:

Express Entry-Linked PNP: Many provinces have Express Entry-linked streams, allowing candidates to enter the provincial pool and get a nomination, which adds 600 points to their CRS score.

Direct PNP Application: Applicants can also apply directly to a province’s PNP if they have skills that are in demand in that region.

Why PNP is the Easiest:

Provincial Opportunities: If your CRS score is too low for Express Entry, a PNP nomination can boost your chances significantly.

Flexibility: Each province has its own criteria, and some PNPs don’t require a job offer, making it accessible for those seeking specific provinces like Ontario, British Columbia, or Saskatchewan.

3. The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)

The Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) is another pathway that has gained popularity, particularly for those looking to work in Canada’s Atlantic provinces (Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick).

How AIP Works:

Job Offer Requirement: To qualify, you must have a job offer from an employer in one of the Atlantic provinces.

PR Application: After securing a job offer, you can apply for PR through the AIP, which has a streamlined process and is designed to address labor shortages in the Atlantic region.

Why AIP is the Easiest:

Employer-Driven Program: The AIP is an employer-driven program, meaning you can apply with a job offer even if you have fewer CRS points.

Quick Processing: The AIP process is fast, with many applications processed within six months.

4. Family Sponsorship

The Family Sponsorship Program allows Canadian citizens and Permanent Residents to sponsor their relatives to immigrate to Canada. This is a straightforward process for those who have family members already living in Canada.

How Family Sponsorship Works:

Eligibility: You must have a close family member (spouse, common-law partner, dependent children, parents, or grandparents) who is willing to sponsor you.

Application: Your sponsor must submit a sponsorship application, and you must submit an application for PR at the same time.

Why Family Sponsorship is the Easiest:

No Points System: Unlike Express Entry, there’s no points system, and as long as your sponsor meets the financial and eligibility requirements, the process is relatively straightforward.

5. Canada Start-Up Visa Program

The Canada Start-Up Visa Program is designed for entrepreneurs who want to start a business in Canada. This program grants PR to eligible applicants who have the support of a designated organization (venture capital, angel investor group, or business incubator).

 How Start-Up Visa Works:

Secure Funding: Applicants must secure a commitment of at least CAD 200,000 from a designated venture capital fund or CAD 75,000 from an angel investor group.

PR Application: Once funding is secured, you can apply for PR, and the application is processed relatively quickly.

Why the Start-Up Visa is the Easiest:

No CRS Score: This program does not rely on the CRS score, making it ideal for entrepreneurs who may not qualify through other programs.

Direct Pathway: Successful applicants are granted PR directly, without needing temporary permits or visas.

Tips for a Successful Immigration Process

Start Early: The sooner you begin gathering your documents and understanding the requirements, the better prepared you’ll be when it’s time to apply.

Improve Your CRS Score: For Express Entry, consider improving your CRS score by enhancing your language skills, gaining additional work experience, or obtaining a job offer in Canada.

Seek Professional Guidance: Immigration processes can be complex. Hiring an immigration consultant can help you navigate the application process, avoid mistakes, and increase your chances of success.

Ontario and held draws under their Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), selecting candidates with strong professional experience, language abilities, and employment records for Canadian permanent residency (PR). Both the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) and the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP) issued invitations in early September, reflecting the provinces' ongoing commitment to attracting skilled immigrants. These selections, along with programs like MPNP and NBPNP, provide key pathways for candidates seeking PR through provincial nomination in Canada. In Ontario, the French-Speaking Skilled Worker stream issued 96 Notifications of Interest (NOIs) to candidates with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores between 290 and 393. To qualify, candidates must be eligible under the federal Express Entry pool, with work experience, language proficiency, and recognized degrees.

British Columbia's draws on September 4th targeted skilled workers, international graduates, and those in entry-level or semi-skilled positions. Skilled Worker streams issued invitations to those working in key sectors such as childcare, with scores as low as 80. These opportunities align with Canada's broader immigration goals of attracting workers already contributing to the labor market. The closure of Saskatchewan's Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot on August 30, 2024, marks a shift in focus towards more streamlined immigration pathways under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). Despite the pilot's closure, other SINP programs remain open, offering alternative PR routes for those in specific in-demand occupations. Globally, applicants interested in pursuing permanent residency in Canada, Australia, or Germany often rely on skilled migration pathways such as the Global Talent Stream. This stream allows highly skilled workers to fast-track their PR in these countries.

Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba invite candidates to apply for provincial nomination

Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are crucial in attracting skilled immigrants to meet the economic and workforce needs of various provinces. In the latest round of PNP draws, Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba issued invitations to qualified candidates, offering them an opportunity to move closer to their goal of obtaining Canadian permanent residency.

Understanding Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

Immigration in Canada is a shared responsibility between Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and provincial governments. Except for Quebec and Nunavut, all provinces and territories operate their own PNPs, allowing them to nominate candidates who meet their specific economic needs. While Quebec has an agreement with the federal government that grants it full control over the selection of economic immigrants, other provinces use PNPs to address their unique labor market demands.

The allocation of nominations varies based on each province’s population, economic conditions, and workforce needs. For instance, Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, receives the highest number of nominations from IRCC. The Immigration Levels Plan for 2024-2026 sets a target to welcome 110,000 new permanent residents through the PNP in 2024, highlighting the significance of these programs in Canada’s immigration strategy.

Provincial Nomination vs. Permanent Residency Invitation

It’s important to note that receiving a provincial nomination is not the same as receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residency from IRCC. These are separate processes, and candidates must apply to both to secure their status in Canada. A provincial nomination enhances a candidate’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, significantly increasing their chances of receiving an invitation to apply for permanent residency through IRCC.

Recent PNP Draws and Invitations Issued

Between August 24 and August 30, Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba conducted draws under their respective PNPs, inviting skilled candidates to apply for a provincial nomination.

Ontario: Skilled Trades Stream Invitations

On August 22, Ontario issued 1,287 notifications of interest to candidates under the Express Entry Skilled Trades stream of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). This stream targets skilled workers with experience in Ontario’s in-demand trades. Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score between 400 and 435 to be eligible. Additionally, they were required to have work experience in a targeted occupation, identified by specific National Occupation Classification (NOC) codes.

The OINP’s focus on skilled trades addresses the province’s labor market needs, particularly in industries facing significant workforce shortages. This round of invitations reflects Ontario’s proactive approach to filling critical gaps and supporting economic growth by attracting skilled talent from around the world.

British Columbia: Targeted Invitations Across Multiple Sectors

Manitoba: Invitations to International Graduates and Skilled Workers

Manitoba’s PNP draw on August 30 highlighted the province’s commitment to attracting skilled workers and international graduates. The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) invited 150 candidates from two PNP streams, focusing on individuals with skills and experience aligned with the province’s economic priorities.

International Education Stream: 126 candidates were invited, highlighting Manitoba’s dedication to retaining international graduates who have studied and trained in the province. No minimum score was reported for this stream, emphasizing the province’s flexible approach to selecting candidates who can contribute to its workforce needs.

Skilled Worker Overseas Stream: 24 candidates were invited under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative, with a minimum score requirement of 727. This stream targets skilled workers outside Canada who can meet specific labor market needs in Manitoba.

Among the total invitations, 21 were issued to candidates with a valid Express Entry profile, providing these individuals with an additional pathway to strengthen their applications for Canadian permanent residency.

The Impact of PNPs on Canada’s Immigration Strategy

PNPs play a pivotal role in shaping Canada’s immigration landscape by allowing provinces to address their unique economic needs. By targeting specific skills, occupations, and demographics, PNPs enhance regional labor markets and support local communities. The recent rounds of invitations by Ontario, British Columbia, and Manitoba highlight the dynamic nature of Canada’s immigration system, which continuously evolves to meet the country’s economic and demographic challenges.
