Types Of The Work Visa Options In New Zealand

Employers desire foreign workers who are accustomed to the hazardous work sites of industrial construction; in particular, they specifically solicit migrants who do not have a history of labor organizing within SWANA. In response, labor brokerage firms brand themselves as offering migrant workers who are deferential. Often, labor brokers conflate the category of South Asian with docility; [...] as inherently passive, disciplined, and, most important, unfettered by volatile working conditions. "We say quality, they [U.S. employers] say seasoned. We both know what it means. Workers who are not going to quit, not going to run away in the foreign country and do as they are told.” [...]

For migrants, the U.S. oil industry presents a rare chance to apply their existing skill set in a country with options for permanent residency and sponsorship of family members. Migrants wish to find an end to their tem­porary worker status; they imagine the United States as a liberal economy in which labor standards are enforced and there are opportunities for citizenship and building a life for their family. [...] What brokers fail to explain is that South Asian migrants are being recruited as guest workers. Migrants will not have access to U.S. citizenship or visas for family members; in fact, their employment status will be quite similar to their SWANA migration.

While nations such as the Philippines have both state-mandated and independent migrant rights agencies, the Indian government has minimal avenues for worker protection. These are limited to hotlines for reporting abusive foreign employers and Indian consulates located in a few select countries of the SWANA region. [... Brokers] emphasize the docility of Indian migrants in comparison to the disruptive tendencies of other Asian migrant workers. [...] “Some of these Filipino men you see make a lot of trouble in the Arab countries. Even their women, who work as maids and such, lash out. The employer says one wrong thing and the workers get the whole country [the Philippines] on the street. [...] But you don’t see our people creating a tamasha [spectacle] overseas.” [...] Just as Filipinx migrants are racialized to be undisciplined labor, Indian brokers construct divisions within the South Asian workforce to promote the primacy of their own firms. In particular, Pakistani workers are racialized as an abrasive population.

[...] While the public image of the South Asian American community remains as model minorities, presumed to be primarily upwardly mobile professionals, the global reality of the population is quite to the contrary. [...] From the historic colonial routes initiated by British occupation of South Asia to the emergence of energy markets within the countries of SWANA, migrants have been recruited to build industries by contributing their labor to construction projects. Within the last decade, these South Asian migrants, with experience in the SWANA oil industry, have been actively solicited as guest workers into the energy sector of the United States. The growth of hydraulic fracturing has opened new territory for oil extraction; capitalizing on the potential market are numerous stakeholders who have invested in industrial construction projects across the southwestern United States. The solicitation of South Asian construction workers is not coincidental. [...] Kartik, a globally competitive firm’s broker, explains the connection of Indian labor to practices of the past. “You know we come from a long history of working in foreign lands. Even the British used to send us to Africa and the Arab regions to work in the mines and oil fields. It’s part of our history.”

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) — For more than two hours on a Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Gustavo Castillo led the Pentecostal congregation he’s been growing in this Minneapolis suburb through prayer, Scriptures, rousing music and sometimes tearful testimonials.

But it all may end soon. A sudden procedural change in how the federal government processes green cards for foreign-born religious workers, together with historic highs in numbers of illegal border crossers, means that thousands of clergy like him are losing the ability to remain in this country.

“We were right on the edge of becoming permanent residents, and boom, this changed,” Colombia-born Castillo said as his wife rocked their 7-month-old boy, a U.S. citizen by birth. “We have done everything correctly, from here onward we believe that God will work a miracle. We don’t have any other option.”

To become permanent U.S. residents, which can eventually lead to citizenship, immigrants apply for green cards, generally through U.S. family members or employers. A limited number of green cards are available annually, set by Congress and separated into categories depending on the closeness of the family relationship or the skills needed in a job.

Citizens of countries with disproportionately high numbers of migrants are put in separate, often longer green card queues. Currently, the most backlogged category is for the married Mexican children of U.S. citizens – only applications filed before March 1998 are being processed.

For faith leaders, the line historically has been short enough to get a green card before their temporary work visas expired, attorneys say.

That changed in March. The State Department announced that for nearly seven years it had been placing in the wrong line tens of thousands of applications for neglected or abused minors from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, and would now start adding them to the clergy queue. Since the mid-2010s, a surging number of youth from these countries have sought asylum after illegally crossing into the U.S.

This change means that only applications filed before January 2019 are currently being processed, moving forward the Central American minors by a few months but giving clergy with expiring visas, like Castillo, no option but to leave their U.S. congregations behind.

“They’re doing everything they’re supposed to be doing and all of a sudden, they’re totally steamrolled,” said Matthew Curtis, an immigration attorney in New York City whose clients, like an Israeli rabbi and a South African music minister, are running out of time. “It’s like a bombshell on the system.”

Attorneys estimate so many people are now in the queue that the wait is at least a decade long, because only 10,000 of these green cards can be granted annually.

Curtis’ firm advises potential clergy applicants that “there is no indication when you can receive a green card.”

That’s likely to dissuade religious organizations from hiring foreign workers precisely when they’re most needed because of the growing demand for leaders of immigrant congregations who can speak languages other than English and understand other cultures.

“There’s a comfort to practice your religion in your native tongue, in someone close to your culture celebrating Mass,” said Olga Rojas, the Archdiocese of Chicago’s senior counsel for immigration. The U.S. Catholic Church has also turned to foreign priests to ease a shortage of local vocations.

At one Chicago-area parish that’s been helping with this year’s surge of new arrivals from the border, two Mexican religious sisters have started ministries for women in the shelters as well as English classes, Rojas said.

“These two sisters know they won’t get green cards,” she added, and they expect to lose other religious sisters and brothers who are teachers, principals and serve in other key roles. “That’s catastrophic.”

Those from religious orders with vows of poverty, like Catholic nuns and Buddhist monks, are especially hard hit, because most other employment visa categories require employers to show they’re paying foreign workers prevailing wages. Since they’re getting no wages, they don’t qualify.

Across all faith traditions, there are few options for these workers to continue their U.S.-based ministry, attorneys say. At a minimum, they would need to go abroad for a year before being eligible for another temporary religious worker visa, and repeat that process, paying thousands in fees, throughout the decade – or for however long their green card application stays pending.

“A big concern is that leaving is not really viable. The church will replace the pastor or shut down, it’s too much instability,” said Calleigh McRaith, Castillo’s attorney in Minnesota.

Being in limbo is challenging for the affected religious workers, including Stephanie Reimer, a Canadian serving a nondenominational Christian youth missionary organization in Kansas City. Her visa expires in January.

“I’ve done a lot of praying,” she said. “There are days when it feels overwhelming.”

Martin Valko, an immigration attorney in Dallas whose clients include imams and Methodist pastors, said many rely on their faith to stay hopeful.

But realistic options are so few that the American Immigration Lawyers Association and faith leaders, like Chicago’s Catholic cardinal and coalitions of evangelical pastors, have lobbied the Biden administration and Congress to fix the problem.

Administrative solutions could include allowing religious workers to at least file for their green cards, so they can get temporary work authorization like those in other queues awaiting permanent residence.

The most effective and immediate fix would be for Congress to remove from this category the vulnerable minors’ applications, attorneys say. Despite being humanitarian, they make up the vast majority of the queue they share with religious workers, said Lance Conklin, a Maryland attorney who co-chairs the lawyer association’s religious workers group.

“They shouldn’t be pitted against each other in competition for visas,” said Matthew Soerens, who leads the Evangelical Immigration Table, a national immigrant advocacy organization.

Back at the Iglesia Pentecostal Unida Latinoamericana, Castillo said he has ministered to a family with two young children who survived the Darien Gap, a jungle in Central America favored by smugglers that’s among the most dangerous parts of migrants’ journeys, and a mother and daughter who said they came “through the hole” in the border wall.

“Some of them are in a better migration situation” than himself and his wife Yarleny, Castillo said. But he added that his call to minister to them is undaunted. “I serve God. He will take charge of these affairs while I lead those he has entrusted to me.”

That’s why, even as they face having to leave the country when their visas expire in February, the Castillos are fundraising to buy the building where they now rent worship space. They also regularly drive 10 hours to South Dakota, where they’re establishing another church.

“In this work, one is constantly helping destroyed migrant families,” Yarleny Castillo said. “And they need a space like this.”

In Canada, temporary skilled workers are required to fill labor shortages.

Canada needs temporary specialist workers and needs to make use of the workers who are already there and who contribute to the economic development and expansion of the nation. While Canada has been successful in attracting skilled employees, there have been delays in fully utilizing their abilities and potential.

Numerous new jobs are entering the market in Canada, which is causing the country’s pay rate to rise. Most job growth is associated with full-time employment. The sectors that have added the most jobs in the past few months are the service sector, food services, lodging, and construction. A record percentage of Canadian businesses report severe labor constraints and supply chain problems that limit their ability to increase production and meet their financial obligations.

Here, the significance of temporary skilled labor takes center stage. To fill positions that a Canadian citizen would not be qualified to do, temporary workers arrive in Canada for a set period. If you match the prerequisites, a provisional visa can also be changed into a visa for permanent residence. A residence permit visa is a tried-and-true method of filling open positions while making sure that foreign employees have the legal right and security to operate in Canada safely. Employers in Canada are permitted to employ temporary foreign workers under the following categories:

High-paid employees

Low-wage employees

International talent pool

Agricultural laborers from overseas

Home health aides

Foreign scholars

Foreigners who view the temporary employee program as a more comprehensive route to permanent residency perceive the program as a potent tool for boosting Canada’s economy. In Canada, there are three categories of work permits:

Restrictive Work Permits

Active Work Permits

Work Permits Exempt From LMIA

An overseas worker is granted a closed work visa so they can work for a certain employer and in a specified job in Canada. An open work permit, on the other hand, is unaffiliated with any firm or position. An LMIA is not required for foreign employees to work for just a particular employer under the LMIA exemption program.

Employment Impact Analysis

The Employment Market Impact Assessment is the primary feature of the Temporary Migrant Worker Programme in Canada (LMIA). Because there is a dearth of qualified local candidates, any Canadian firm that wants to employ a foreign must go through the LMIA process and prove a real need for an international specialist. An employer can only recruit that person after obtaining an LMIA, which enables the foreign citizen to apply for a visa to enter Canada. There are, however, some programs in Canada that do not demand that a company complete a labor market effect assessment. One such stream is the International Mobility Program, which is exempt from the LMIA report requirement. The following criteria are used to determine the exclusions under the program:

The individual benefits Canada economically, culturally, or in some other way

The individual benefits citizens of Canada and permanent residents.

Although Canada’s immigration policy favors highly skilled workers, the country’s job market also needs less skilled workers. Canada had committed to making 90,000 temporary employees permanent by 2021. 23,880 temporary foreign workers have received permanent resident visas so far from the nation. Temporary programs have been instrumental in bridging the gap between Canada’s economic needs and permanent residency pathways. As numerous industries continue to expand, the nation will experience many professionals. The economic statistics also show a noticeable uptick in some industries, with new jobs being added to the list that involves specialized training and skill sets. Therefore, the moment is ideal for you and your family to immigrate to Canada and begin your Canadian story.

Planning for New Zealand residency? Skilled Migrant Category is a type of visa which offers a direct pathway to residence for applicants who can demonstrate that they have qualifications and/or work experience that satisfies the countries workforce needs.

[visa4you1]

Australia’s immigration system is based on a points test, where applicants accumulate points based on various factors, such as age, English proficiency, work experience, education, and other qualifications. Achieving a high score on this points test is crucial for receiving an invitation to apply for an Australian Permanent Residency (PR) visa, such as the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189), Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), or Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491). In this guide, we’ll break down each factor in the points test to help you understand how to maximize your score and increase your chances of securing PR.

One of the most significant contributors to your overall points score is your age. The Australian immigration system is designed to favor younger applicants, as they are likely to contribute to the workforce for a more extended period.

Proficiency in English is another crucial factor in the points test. The higher your level of English, the more points you can earn.

Your work experience, especially if it’s related to an occupation on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List (SOL), can substantially boost your points score.

Work experience within Australia is highly valued, reflecting your ability to adapt and thrive in the Australian workforce.

Experience Duration: If you’ve worked in Australia for 8–10 years in a skilled occupation, you can earn 20 points.

Why It’s Important: Australian work experience demonstrates your familiarity with the local work culture and systems, making you a more attractive candidate.

Strategies: If you’re already in Australia on a temporary visa, consider gaining as much local work experience as possible before applying for PR.

Your educational qualifications are another significant component of the points test, particularly if you hold a Doctorate degree.

If you’ve completed advanced studies in Australia, particularly in niche areas, you can earn additional points.

Australia is actively encouraging skilled migrants to live and work in regional areas, offering additional points for those who study in these locations.

Proficiency in certain community languages can earn you extra points, reflecting Australia’s multicultural society.

Completing a Professional Year program in Australia can be a valuable way to gain additional points and improve your job prospects.

State or territory governments in Australia can nominate applicants for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190), which provides an additional 5 points.

If your spouse or de facto partner meets specific criteria, you can gain an additional 10 points towards your application.

If your spouse or de facto partner has competent English but does not meet the other criteria for skilled points, you can still earn an additional 5 points.

If you’re applying as a single applicant or your spouse is an Australian citizen or PR holder, you’re eligible for an additional 10 points.

Why It Matters: This category recognizes the lower potential for dependents to be a burden on the system, thereby rewarding single applicants or those with an Australian spouse.

Strategic Advantage: If your partner doesn’t meet the criteria for additional points, you might consider applying as a single applicant to gain these 10 points.

The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491) allows applicants to live and work in regional Australia and offers a substantial 15 points for regional or family sponsorship.

Summery

Maximizing your points for Australian Permanent Residency requires careful planning and a deep understanding of the points test. By focusing on areas where you can improve, such as English proficiency, work experience, or education, you can significantly enhance your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for PR. Whether you’re applying independently, with a partner.

Health and Character Requirements: Australia has strict health and character checks for visa applicants, so you’ll need to complete medical examinations and provide police clearance certificates.
