Everything you should know about getting a Provincial Attestation Letter from Quebec

Dear future neighbour,

On February 13, 2024, the Canadian province of Quebec started issuing an updated letter attesting to the issuance of the Quebec acceptance certificate for studies. This letter enables candidates to apply for a study permit in accordance to the Federal government’s instructions which were released on January 22, 2024.

At this point, you don’t need to do anything further to get this letter from the province. If, however, you need an updated letter of attestation to submit your application for a study permit with the federal government. See below steps to take:

-Complete the form you will find on their website using the link below:

https://immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/mail.php

-Then select the subject “CAQ-Updated Letter of Attestation” in the menu for the form and make sure to indicate the email address you used when you created your arrima account.

-In your message, you must indicate that you would like to receive an updated Letter of Attestation to submit your application for study permit and provide your file number. This is indicated in the right corner of the letter that you initially received.

-A new letter of attestation will be placed in your file within 10 working days

Canada imposes New Visa requirements for Mexican citizens effective February 29, 2024

By EUIC Admin News, Temporary Visa

Dear future neighbour,

This update is in response to a rise in asylum petitions filed by Mexican citizens that are denied, withdrawn or abandoned. The new changes will apply even if you have already booked your trip to Canada so this is very important.

According to IRCC, having pre-booked travel reservations or a previously valid electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) does not ensure approval for a new eTA or visa.

Mexican citizens can reapply for a new eTA if they fall into any of these categories:

frequently fly to Canada and have had a visitor visa to Canada in the last ten years
or currently possess a valid non-immigrant visa to the United States.

If they do not have any of the above, they require a visa.

Mexican citizens who have valid Canadian work or study permits are unaffected. Their eTA will not be cancelled and they will be able to continue traveling to Canada.

Mexican citizens residing in Canada without a Canadian study or work permit are allowed to stay for the duration of their permitted stay. However, when they leave Canada and intend to return, they must obtain a visa or a new electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), if eligible.

Due to the new entrance regulations, Mexican visitors may experience delays upon arrival at Canadian airports. It’s important for Mexican visitors to be aware of these regulations and plan accordingly for potential delays when traveling to Canada.

Modifications introduced to OINP application procedures

By EUIC Admin Express Entry, Provincial nomination

Dear future neighbour,

As of February 26, 2024, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) has implemented a new requirement for its application process. Moving forward, all applicants are mandated to include a consent form along with their applications. This form likely signifies the applicant’s acknowledgment and authorization for the processing of their application by the OINP. Applicants are advised to ensure compliance with this updated procedure to avoid any delays or complications in the processing of their immigration applications.

The consent form must be completed, correctly dated, signed by the applicant, signed by the applicant’s spouse and dependents (if applicable) and uploaded with other documents in the application.

See below important changes to note for OINP applications:

The PDF Attestation form for OINP Expression of Interest system stream applications is no longer required.
The Applicant Consent form must be completed after receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) or a Notification of Interest (NOI).
This form cannot be signed by your representative on your behalf.

Applicants must carefully review the stream-specific document checklist to ensure that the mandatory documents are submitted when applying to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP).

Master’s Programs in Canada Offering 1-Year Duration Alongside 3-Year Work Permit

By EUIC Admin News, Study Visa 1

Dear future neighbour,

In line with recent reforms by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) pertaining to international students planning to pursue studies in Canada, a cap has been implemented on the annual influx of international students. Notably, this cap does not apply to master’s and doctorate-level students.

Effective February 15, 2024, students who have completed a master’s program become eligible for a three-year Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). Additionally, only spouses and common-law partners of master’s, doctorate, or professional degree students are eligible to apply for a Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP).

There are many benefits attached to offering a one-year master’s program in Canada, it is cost effective and also you can graduate and get a job immediately instead of studying for another year as in the case of a two-year degree program.

The most affordable city in British Columbia, Canada to rent a 3-bedroom apartment in the city centre is …

By EUIC Admin News

Dear future neighbour,

First off, British Columbia (BC) is not generally considered one of the most affordable provinces in Canada, especially when it comes to housing costs. Cities like Vancouver, in particular, are known for their high cost of living, including expensive real estate and rental prices. The cost of living in BC, including housing, transportation, and other expenses, tends to be higher compared to other provinces in Canada.

In the city of Prince George as well as Salmon Arm, you can rent a three bedroom apartment for as low as $1,800 on the city centre. This is according to statistics available on Numbeo.com gathered from the residents of the city.

See below in descending order the full list of the cities where you can rent a 3 bedroom apartment for $2,550 or lower in the city centre in the province of BC:

Maple Ridge – $2,550
Courtenay – $2,500
Powell River – $2,500
Vernon – $2,350
Penticton – $2,312
Cranbrook- $ 2,269
Chilliwack – $2,225
Williams Lake – $1,900
Prince George – $1,800
Salmon Arm – $1,800

Unfortunately, accommodation affordability cannot be the only factor you consider when moving to a new city. For the next month, we will review these factors and recommend cities based on statistics to help you make an informed decision.
