Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #26

July 5-12 2024

The IRS announced it had managed to collect $1 billion in back taxes from high-wealth tax cheats. The program focused on persons with more than $1 million in yearly income who owned more than $250,000 in unpaid taxes. Thanks to money in Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act the IRS is able to undertake more enforcement against rich tax cheats after years of Republicans cutting the agency's budget, which they hope to do again if they win power again.

The Biden administration announced a $244 million dollar investment in the federal government’s registered apprenticeship program. This marks the largest investment in the program's history with grants going out to 52 programs in 32 states. The President is focused on getting well paying blue collar opportunities to people and more people are taking part in the apprenticeship program than ever before. Republican pledge to cut it, even as employers struggle to find qualified workers.

The Department of Transportation announced the largest single project in the department's history, $11 billion dollars in grants for the The Hudson River Tunnel. Part of the $66 billion the Biden Administration has invested in our rail system the tunnel, the most complex Infrastructure project in the nation would link New York and New Jersey by rail under the Hudson. Once finished it's believed it'll impact 20% of the American economy by improving and speeding connection throughout the Northeast.

The Department of Energy announced $1.7 billion to save auto worker's jobs and convert factories to electronic vehicles. The Biden administration will used the money to save or reopen factories in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, and Virginia and retool them to make electric cars. The project will save 15,000 skilled union worker jobs, and created 2,900 new high-quality jobs.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development reached a settlement with The Appraisal Foundation over racial discrimination. TAF is the organization responsible for setting standards and qualifications for real estate appraisers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics last year found that TAF was 94.7% White and 0.6% Black, making it the least racially diverse of the 800 occupations surveyed. Black and Latino home owners are far more likely to have their houses under valued than whites. Under the settlement with HUD TAF will have to take serious steps to increase diversity and remove structural barriers to diversity.

The Department of Justice disrupted an effort by the Russian government to influence public opinion through AI bots. The DoJ shut down nearly 1,000 twitter accounts that were linked to a Russian Bot farm. The bots used AI technology to not only generate tweets but also AI image faces for profile pictures. The effort seemed focused on boosting support for Russia's war against Ukraine and spread negative stories/impressions about Ukraine.

The Department of Transportation announces $1.5 billion to help local authorities buy made in America buses. 80% of the funding will go toward zero or low-emission technology, a part of the President's goal of reaching zero emissions by 2050. This is part of the $5 billion the DOT has spent over the last 3 years replacing aging buses with new cleaner technology.

President Biden with Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau and Finnish President Alexander Stubb signed a new agreement on the arctic. The new trilateral agreement between the 3 NATO partners, known as the ICE Pact, will boost production of ice breaking ships, the 3 plan to build as many as 90 between them in the coming years. The alliance hopes to be a counter weight to China's current dominance in the ice breaker market and help western allies respond to Russia's aggressive push into the arctic waters.

The Department of Transportation announced $1.1 billion for greater rail safety. The program seeks to, where ever possible, eliminate rail crossings, thus removing the dangers and inconvenience to communities divided by rail lines. It will also help update and improve safety measures at rail crossings.

The Department of the Interior announced $120 million to help tribal communities prepare for climate disasters. This funding is part of half a billion dollars the Biden administration has spent to help tribes build climate resilience, which itself is part of a $50 billion dollar effort to build climate resilience across the nation. This funding will help support drought measures, wildland fire mitigation, community-driven relocation, managed retreat, protect-in-place efforts, and ocean and coastal management.

The USDA announced $100 million in additional funds to help feed low income kids over the summer. Known as "SUN Bucks" or "Summer EBT" the new Biden program grants the families of kids who qualify for free meals at school $120 dollars pre-child for groceries. This comes on top of the traditional SUN Meals program which offers school meals to qualifying children over the summer, as well as the new under President Biden SUN Meals To-Go program which is now offering delivery of meals to low-income children in rural areas. This grant is meant to help local governments build up the Infrastructure to support and distribute SUN Bucks. If fully implemented SUN Bucks could help 30 million kids, but many Republican governors have refused the funding.

USAID announced its giving $100 million to the UN World Food Program to deliver urgently needed food assistance in Gaza. This will bring the total humanitarian aid given by the US to the Palestinian people since the war started in October 2023 to $774 million, the single largest donor nation. President Biden at his press conference last night said that Israel and Hamas have agreed in principle to a ceasefire deal that will end the war and release the hostages. US negotiators are working to close the final gaps between the two sides and end the war.

The Senate confirmed Nancy Maldonado to serve as a Judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Maldonado is the 202nd federal Judge appointed by President Biden to be confirmed. She will the first Latino judge to ever serve on the 7th Circuit which covers Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.

Bonus: At the NATO summit in Washington DC President Biden joined 32 allies in the Ukraine compact. Allies from Japan to Iceland confirmed their support for Ukraine and deepening their commitments to building Ukraine's forces and keeping a free and Democratic Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. World leaders such as British Prime Minster Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, praised President Biden's experience and leadership during the NATO summit

the hell is going on with these folks (and the cat accusation is downright insane): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvZTr3F_YZI

This is purposefully targeted hate speech and propaganda, and it is not new to the US political field. This is part of the racist Great Replacement conspiracy theory, and the same statements have historically been said about folks immigrating for Asian countries, from the Middle East, and even folks coming from Central and South America. I hope it's no longer a common thing said, but there were racist 'jokes' when I was young that if you went to a Chinese restaurant, you were getting cat for dinner.

These are tactics attempting to demonize an extremely vulnerable and marginalized community in the same manner that Jews and other 'undesirable' groups were demonized at the end of the Weimar Republic as the Third Reich rose in Germany. This is a tool of a political party that is trying to seize power by fearmongering, which requires a scapegoat to be successful. Recently arrived Haitians are that scapegoat, and it's dangerous.

That video is really sad, and it's a masterclass in how racism is both a class issue and is used as a tool to divide. The statements about how recently arrived folks supposedly get so much money for the government, but we can't...this is manipulating working class, blue collar workers, and folks living at or under the poverty line, and it is exactly the tactics used in the building of race and racism that the United States was founded on. Instead of white folks who fall into working class, blue collar, or poverty categories realizing that the government is the problem in that basic needs of every day persons are absolutely ignored under our so-called democracy, they are being told that it is the people who are leaving a literal war zone to try and stay alive who are the problem. At base, racism is capitalist divide-and-conquer; if working class/blue collar/poverty level white folks united with Black folks, immigrants, and those seeking asylum, this country would be on it's knees...but instead, capitalism has manipulated vulnerable citizens to believe that outsiders are the problem with claims that are absolutely out of hand

Some of this is lack of education and critical thinking skills; basic research can show people that what people claim as fact is not at all true. People who are arriving from the border or arriving via the Biden parole program are in the United States legally but honestly...who fucking cares? It is a factual inaccuracy to believe that individuals who are not citizens and/or have not passed the 5 year mark if they are legal permanent residents have access to federal benefits earmarked for citizens or folks with sufficient residency. They do not qualify for SNAP, most Medicaid, social security, federal financial aid, and on and on. When they work, they pay taxes but they do not reap the benefits--there are no tax refunds and they do not benefit from social security, which means even if they work for 30 years in the US on a work permit, they can never access social security retirement benefits.

The rest is political strategy, wag-the-dog style. This bluster distracts from the fact that the Republican candidate is a fucking lunatic who cannot string together a single coherent thought and who is able to be provoked to anger with a single side eye. This is a distraction to remove pressure and attention.

Moreover, if it was true that recently arrived Haitians were left to steal domestic pets or wild living birds to survive, the shame is on our hands, as US citizens, for allowing people to starve when there is so much food available. How would a country with one of the highest GDPs allow people fleeing terror to be reduced to stealing pets to eat? That would be disgusting and a terrible indictment of who we are as a country, not that many of us don't already see it.

The other statements about Haitians being filthy etc are just poorly informed or purposefully aimed to be harmful. Anyone who has lived with or around Haitians in any significant way knows how a Haitian home is kept. Anyone who has spent any significant time with Haitians understands how, even if someone is living in poverty with nothing, there is still pride in themselves and how they live...and that is a huge reason, all other things aside, why folks are not out stealing Fluffy to have dinner. Those things are without pride, and folks would rather starve.

There is also the purposeful misunderstanding of how immigrants acclimate to a new place. Folks coming here from the border or via the Biden program are on pins and needles because they know their situation is wobbly, and they are smart. No one is going to be knowingly acting in a way that is going to upset where they live or who they live around, and Haitian culture contains nothing that would be super out of the ordinary in the US.

I am glad the reporter spoke to local Haitians and made the effort to get accurate translations of what folks were saying. How some questions were answered gives a clear picture to folks who know that they know they are under a microscope, both in the US and with the situation in Haiti; did you catch how, when questioned about gangs and violence, the one guy knew nothing about nobody? That's not accidental.

This will also target Vodou and Haitian vodouizan as well. I have already seen commentary on social media about how Haitians who are eating all these animals--dogs, cats, ducks, rats, etc--and doing 'rituals' with the remains. This is a dangerous and slippery slope, particularly if the party supporting these statements retakes the White House.

So...pay attention. This is a masterclass in the deployment of classism and racism to create distractions ahead of an election that feels very important to many people. Don't let them control your attention.

[arizonaconservativegal]

As you work in government, and think the government should be dramatically reduced, I was wondering where you think such cuts ought to start and how would you get enough people to agree with you? From where I stand, as someone who gained political consciousness in 2018(?) and has been leaning right libertarian ever since, it seems no one can agree even though we all see the same issue.

Well if I were dictator for a day, I'd eliminate the federal Department of Education because they pretty much do nothing of value.

But the real answer is that I wouldn't start by cutting any programs at all.

Sure I'm a libertarian who has a philosophical problem with pretty much every government program, and if I were building the system from the ground up, I wouldn't ever include most of what we ended up with, but since it's already there, that's not an option.

Besides, even as bloated as they are, most government offices/agencies/departments do have a handful of very necessary positions and good employees in them. They just also have an awful lot of jobs that no one would ever miss and a lot of employees who do nothing but take up space. You need to go through all of them with a fine tooth comb to figure out which ones should be kept, what can be consolidated, and what can be eliminated with no impact on services. And then you'd need to hang around long enough to figure out which individual people to keep (either in their existing roles or reassign them to more useful positions) and which ones are just dedicated to being useless.

The problem is that doing that properly takes a tremendous amount of time and you really can't leave it up to the bureaucrats within the departments. If you tell them to just cut staffing levels by a certain percentage, half of them will just go by last hired, first fired and the other half will deliberately cut critical and public facing positions to create political demand for their funding to be restored.

If I were really going to go through all that, I'd start by identifying the positions to cut and then let attrition do its thing. Useless positions do not need to be replaced when vacated. Not actually firing anyone gets you around civil service protections and if you do your targeting well, the only people who will really squawk will be union bosses upset about dwindling membership numbers. The two tricks here are a) you still have to replace the positions that are necessary and start consolidating responsibilities so you can't skip that first step of figuring out what those are and b) you cannot let politics determine which positions are cut. All services levels must be maintained, even in programs that we disagree with politically.

The next thing I would do - which would be much harder - is reform those civil service and union protections. We need to be able to fire people who do not do their jobs adequately or who are no longer needed. Right now that's pretty much impossible so instead of firing them, we shuffle them off to another position - and usually that comes with a promotion and raise so they can't claim they're being treated unfairly. Or we just hire a second person to do the job the first one won't or can't do but instead of replacing the first person with the second person, we just pay two people to do one job at the same time.

The trade I would make is to eliminate or drastically increase pay caps for high performing employees and for positions that we have trouble hiring/retaining qualified employees. Too often we lose highly effective employees because the only thing we can do to reward them is to promote them out of their area of skill. And we simply cannot hire a talented lawyer or tech worker for $75k when they could be making two or three or ten times that in the private sector. Sorry, I know no one wants to pay government employees more but when we have a team of ten shitty employees getting paid $50k each, that's a lot more expensive than getting one good one who will actually do the job for $200k.

(If I could, I'd also put new employees on a 401k style retirement plan - I'd even offer a very generous match - and never put them in the pension system. It would save us a ton of money and frankly, those employees would be better off in the long run for having control of their retirement funds. But that's a separate issue and possibly a bigger hurdle than cutting jobs.)

Only when all that was done, and after several years had gone by so the public would see that the reductions in workforce really didn't hamper the service they received, that's when I'd think about starting to cut actual programs.

And then I would start with the Department of Education.

If you are an Indian and plan to immigrate to Canada, then obtaining a Permanent Residency will be one of the best ways for you to start. Permanent Residence in Canada has several benefits: medical benefits are free, quality education, and you can even become a full-blooded citizen of Canada. However, for the 2025 intake, specific requirements are necessary if you want to apply for Canada PR. This guide will walk you through what's required and set you on your way to a new life in Canada.

 What is Canada PR?

Canada PR from India allows Indian citizens to reside, work, and settle in Canada and enjoys almost all the rights that a Canadian citizen possesses. Because you are a permanent resident, free healthcare, educational benefits, and legal protection will be available to you. A few years after holding PR, you may apply for Canadian citizenship.

To qualify for Canada PR one needs to pass the eligibility criteria, primarily through Canada's Express Entry system that works on three systems, which are as follows:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Federal Skilled Trades Worker (FSTP)

For Indian immigrants, the Federal Skilled Worker Program is liked most, though every pathway has different eligibility criteria.

Key Eligibility Requirements for Canada PR in 2025

 1. Work Experience

Work experience is one of the most important elements in your application for Canada PR. Under the Express Entry system, you must demonstrate that you have had at least one year of continuous full-time skilled work experience or its part-time equivalent in the last 10 years. The experience must be classified under Canada's National Occupational Classification (NOC) list. Ideally, jobs in TEERS 0 (management jobs), 1 (professional jobs), or 2(technical jobs) will boost your score a lot.

 2. Language Proficiency

Language proficiency in either English or French is required for every candidate. In the case of English, one needs to take IELTS test. Here, one must score at least 6 bands in every module: Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. The more you score, the more you add to your Comprehensive Ranking System score. French speakers have the option of taking the TEF test to earn extra points.

 3. Education

Education is yet another qualification for you. Your education has to be checked through some authorized body and will then be verified whether it meets the requirements set up in Canada. The higher your education level, the more points score. For instance, a PhD holder scores more points than a bachelor's degree holder.

4. Arranged Employment (Optional)

While not a required component, having a valid job offer from a Canadian employer can greatly improve your chances to get issued with an ITA for PR. A valid job offer is the reason for gaining up to 10 extra points in CRS score, which will place you higher in the Express Entry pool rankings.

 5. Adaptability

This element takes into consideration how easily you can get established in Canada. Marks are given if you meet at least one of the following criteria:

Your spouse or common-law partner is eligible to come to Canada and has the language abilities CLB at level 4 or higher

You have previous work or study experience in Canada

You have blood relatives already living in Canada

You have arranged employment in Canada

All these factors can help you score as much as 10 points.

6. Canada's 67-Point System

Canada uses a points-based assessment in terms of determining eligibility for PR under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). You must score at least 67 out of 100 points determined by key factors like age, education, language ability, work experience, arranged employment, and adaptability.

 Point Awards:

Age: up to 12 points

Education: up to 25 points

Language Skill: up to 28 points

Work Experience: Maximum 15

Adaptability: Maximum 10

Arranged Employment: Maximum 10

Am I Eligible for Canada PR?

Checking your eligibility for immigration in Canada PR is the most vital step toward your migration journey. One can get a fair idea about the factors such as age, education, work experience, and language skills in one's CRS score. These points will help applicants prepare well in advance for the process. In any system of the Express Entry program or any Provincial Nominee Program, knowing one's eligibility before registration saves ample time and effort.

If you are still in a state of confusion or want professional assistance, then contact Aptech Visa, with more than 15 years of experience in dealing with applications for Canada PR. Then, you'll be guided properly to ensure the maximum feasible chances for you.

Top Qualities to Look for in a DOL Doctor in Las Vegas

Federal employees seeking workers' compensation must choose the right Department of Labor (DOL) doctor in Las Vegas. A reliable DOL doctor can guide injured employees through the complexities of the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) and ensure a smooth claims process. Below are the top qualities to consider when selecting a DOL doctor in Las Vegas, with a focus on expertise in workers' compensation claims, commitment to patient care, and a thorough understanding of federal injury claim requirements.

Expertise as a Workers’ Comp Specialist

A DOL doctor with extensive experience in workers’ compensation claims is crucial. Unlike general medical practitioners, a workers’ comp expert in Las Vegas understands the specific needs of federal employees and the requirements of the OWCP claims process.

Understanding Federal Workers’ Comp Regulations: The OWCP has unique requirements that federal workers’ comp providers must understand to properly assess injuries and provide accurate documentation. Doctors specializing in this field are well-versed in the nuances of federal compensation, such as qualifying criteria for federal injury claims and filing deadlines.

Experience with OWCP Claims Assistance: An experienced DOL doctor can streamline the OWCP process by submitting accurate documentation, preparing medical reports, and providing credible evaluations to support the claim. Their expertise can make a difference in how quickly and effectively claims are processed.

Commitment to High-Quality Patient Care

A top DOL doctor in Las Vegas will prioritize patient care, ensuring that injured employees receive comprehensive, personalized treatment. Beyond filing paperwork, they should be dedicated to helping patients fully recover and regain their quality of life.

Compassionate and Individualized Approach: The best DOL doctors recognize that each injury and patient’s experience is unique. They take time to understand each patient’s situation, offering individualized treatment plans that suit the specific nature of their injuries and needs.

Patient Advocacy in the OWCP Process: A compassionate DOL doctor will advocate for the patient throughout the OWCP claims process, working with consultants, federal workers’ comp experts, and Las Vegas providers to ensure comprehensive care. They can also guide patients on proceeding with the claim to maximize their benefits while ensuring compliance with OWCP guidelines.

Strong Knowledge of Documentation and Reporting for OWCP

Accurate documentation and reporting are essential elements of the OWCP claims process. A DOL doctor’s attention to detail and ability to document injuries and treatments effectively is a vital quality that can impact the outcome of a workers’ comp claim.

Detailed Medical Documentation for OWCP Claims: Federal employees’ injury claims require detailed documentation outlining the injury's severity, treatment plans, and prognosis. A skilled DOL doctor understands the importance of complete and accurate reports that align with OWCP requirements. This attention to detail can prevent delays in the approval process and improve claim outcomes.

Collaboration with Federal Workers’ Comp Consultants: A top DOL doctor in Las Vegas works closely with federal workers' comp consultants, providing expert medical insight and comprehensive reports to support the claim. These consultants assist in navigating complex cases, especially for federal employees who have experienced severe injuries and need extensive medical and financial support.

Conclusion

For federal employees navigating the OWCP claims process, choosing a qualified DOL doctor is a critical step. Injured employees can increase their chances of a successful claim by selecting a doctor with expertise in workers' comp claims, a commitment to patient care, and a thorough understanding of documentation. A top DOL doctor in Las Vegas acts not only as a medical provider but also as an advocate, ensuring that injured federal workers receive the best care possible and that their claims are handled effectively.

 Why Quebec's Skilled Workers and International Graduates Should Consider Express Entry.

Introduction

Quebec, with its unique immigration system, offers numerous opportunities for skilled workers and international graduates. However, for those seeking a faster pathway to permanent residency in Canada, the federal Express Entry system presents a compelling option. In this blog post, we'll delve into the reasons why Quebec's skilled workers and international graduates should consider this route.

Understanding Express Entry

Express Entry is a comprehensive application management system for Canada's economic immigration programs. It assesses potential immigrants based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability. High-scoring candidates are invited to apply for permanent residency.

Why Quebec's Skilled Workers and International Graduates Should Consider Express Entry

Faster Processing Times:

Express Entry often has shorter processing times compared to Quebec's provincial programs.

This can significantly reduce the wait time for permanent residency.

Diverse Pathways to Permanent Residency:

Express Entry offers multiple pathways, including the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC).   

This flexibility allows a wider range of candidates to qualify.

Potential for Higher CRS Scores:

While Quebec's provincial programs have their own unique scoring systems, Express Entry's Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) can sometimes yield higher scores for certain candidates.

Factors like higher education levels, significant work experience, and strong language proficiency can boost CRS scores.

Opportunities in Other Provinces:

Express Entry allows candidates to express interest in specific provinces, including those outside of Quebec.

This opens doors to a broader range of job opportunities and settlement options across Canada.

Eligibility for Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs):

Even if you're initially targeting Quebec's provincial programs, Express Entry can still be beneficial.

A high CRS score can increase your chances of receiving a Provincial Nomination, which significantly boosts your overall Express Entry score.

How to Maximize Your Chances of Express Entry Success

Assess Your Eligibility:

Determine which Express Entry program best suits your profile and gather all necessary documents.

Improve Your Language Proficiency:

Strong language skills in English or French can significantly enhance your CRS score.

Gain Relevant Work Experience:

Canadian work experience, especially in skilled occupations, can boost your eligibility and CRS score.

Consider Educational Credential Assessment (ECA):

An ECA report verifies the equivalency of your foreign education to Canadian standards.

Seek Professional Guidance:

Consult with an immigration consultant to navigate the complex process and maximize your chances of success.

Conclusion

While Quebec's provincial programs offer unique advantages, Express Entry presents a viable and potentially faster pathway to permanent residency for skilled workers and international graduates.

Express Entry: A Fast Track to Canadian Permanent Residency

Eligibility for Express Entry Programs

Category-Based Draws and Boosting Your CRS Score

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Through Express Entry

The Role of an Immigration Consultant in Express Entry

Conclusion: Exploring Your Future in Canada

1. Introduction: The New Pathways to Permanent Residency

If you’re a skilled worker or an international graduate currently living in Quebec, you might be looking for options to settle elsewhere in Canada. With the recent suspension of some key Quebec immigration programs—such as the Regular Skilled Worker Program (PRTQ) and the Graduate component of the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ)—many individuals are seeking alternative pathways to permanent residency (PR). One of the most effective ways to do this is through Canada’s Express Entry system. In this article, we’ll break down why Express Entry is a great option for you and how you can apply through this system, even if you’re currently living in Quebec.

2. What is Express Entry?

Express Entry is the Canadian government’s main system for managing permanent residency applications through three federal immigration programs. The system allows candidates to create an online profile that is ranked based on a points system known as the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The highest-ranking candidates are then invited to apply for permanent residency through invitation to apply (ITA) rounds. If you meet the criteria for any of the programs under Express Entry, you can apply for PR and potentially fast-track your immigration process.

3. Key Immigration Options for Quebec Residents

As a resident of Quebec, you might initially think that your immigration options are limited due to the province's separate immigration rules. However, Express Entry offers pathways for skilled workers and international graduates from Quebec who wish to settle outside the province. Some key federal immigration programs under Express Entry that may suit you include:

Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

Each of these programs has specific eligibility criteria, including work experience and language proficiency, which we'll explore in more detail below.

4. Express Entry: A Fast Track to Canadian Permanent Residency

The main advantage of applying through Express Entry is the speed of the process. The Canadian government processes most applications within six months, making it one of the fastest ways to secure permanent residency. Even though Quebec has its own immigration programs, using Express Entry could allow you to bypass the delays associated with provincial pathways, giving you quicker access to life in Canada.

The Express Entry system works by ranking candidates based on their CRS score, which is determined by factors like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. If you have a high enough CRS score, you may receive an ITA and move on to the next step of the application.

5. Eligibility for Express Entry Programs

To qualify for Express Entry, you need to meet the criteria for one of the three federal programs. Here’s a breakdown of each program:

Program

Key Requirements

Best For

Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

- One year of skilled work experience in Canada.

- Proficiency in French or English.

Candidates with Canadian work experience.

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

- One year of skilled work experience in the last ten years.

- Proficiency in French or English.

- Settlement funds or job offer.

Candidates without Canadian work experience.

Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

- Two years of skilled trades work experience.

- Job offer or certificate of trade qualification.

- Proficiency in French or English.

Tradespeople without Canadian work experience.

6. Category-Based Draws and Boosting Your CRS Score

To improve your chances of receiving an ITA, you can qualify for category-based draws. These draws are targeted at specific skill sets, such as:

French language proficiency

Healthcare experience

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)

Trades and transport experience

Agriculture and agri-food

If you have expertise in one of these areas, it’s essential to boost your CRS score by improving your language skills or obtaining additional work experience. You could also increase your chances by securing a provincial nomination, which automatically adds 600 points to your CRS score, making it much easier to receive an ITA.

7. Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Through Express Entry

If you're ready to apply for permanent residency through Express Entry, here’s the basic process:

Eligibility Check: Make sure you meet the basic requirements for one of the Express Entry programs.

Language Testing: Take an approved language test (either IELTS for English or TEF Canada for French).

Create Your Profile: Submit your online profile to the Express Entry system.

Wait for an ITA: If you’re eligible, you’ll be placed in the pool and ranked based on your CRS score. Periodically, IRCC conducts draws and invites top candidates to apply.

Submit Your Application: If you receive an ITA, you’ll have 60 days to submit a complete application.

Final Decision: IRCC processes your application, typically within six months. If approved, you’ll receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).

8. The Role of an Immigration Consultant in Express Entry

Navigating the Express Entry system can be complicated, especially if you're unsure about the eligibility requirements or how to improve your CRS score. This is where an immigration consultant can be invaluable. An experienced consultant from Wave Visas can help you determine your eligibility, advise you on improving your profile, and guide you through the entire process. Their expertise can increase your chances of success and make your immigration journey much smoother.

9. Conclusion: Exploring Your Future in Canada

For skilled workers and international graduates currently living in Quebec, Express Entry offers a promising alternative to Quebec's provincial immigration programs. By understanding the eligibility requirements and leveraging category-based draws, you can boost your chances of getting an ITA and moving forward with your permanent residency application. If you’re unsure about the process, it’s highly recommended to work with an immigration consultant to help you make the most of the opportunities available.

Whether you're a skilled worker or an international graduate, Canada immigration through Express Entry could be your fast track to a bright future outside of Quebec.
