The peace of Swiss luring immigrants for a prospective life!

Guide to Switzerland immigration!

Many Indians are living and working successfully in Switzerland and are making a place for them and many more Indians are also vying for an opportunity to immigrate to Switzerland. The reasons for immigration are various ranging from the wish to get a better job to provide a better lifestyle for one’s family. The main reasons that draws immigrants to Switzerland, despite the fact that it is not an English speaking nation are its beautiful scenery, temperate and Mediterranean climate and lush green pastures. The quality of life in Swiss cities are amongst the very best in the world. All people who live in the country are given free access to best quality health care and education. Moreover one can enjoy religious freedom and pursue any religion without fear. No wonder then that many immigrants are seeking to immigrate to Switzerland.

Process of immigration to Switzerland

One of the best ways to be an immigrant in Switzerland is via securing a job in a large multinational company that can help the immigrant apply for and obtain a work permit. There are also many local Swiss companies which are also looking for highly qualified and skilled professionals and will consider candidates for their expertise even if they do not speak the official Swiss languages. In fact many companies in Switzerland communicate in English in the new era of globalization.

Getting a work permit in Switzerland

Immigrants who hail from countries such as India which are not part of the European Union are required to hold a work permit if they wish to work in the nation. The rules are tighter for obtaining such a permit when compared to EU citizens but can be worth it when you consider the earnings and quality of life. In order to get a work permit the immigrant needs to get employment with an employer who is willing to sponsor their visa application. The employers are also stipulated to prove that he has not obtained any local citizen for the vacant position to be filled. The employer has to advertise in prescribed papers for a predefined period to ensure that he has exhausted all possibilities of hiring a citizen or permanent resident before providing employment to a foreign worker. Some of the occupations which have the highest probability of getting a permit are managers and highly qualified individuals having master’s degrees and professional certification along with many years of experience. The time taken for processing an application can range from 2 weeks to several months depending on the individual case.

Types of permit issued in Swiss

The following types of permit are issued for immigrants to Switzerland depending on each individual case.

L – Permit or Short-term residence permit

This permit is generally granted to people who immigrate to Switzerland to work for a short term contract that lasts for a year or less. This type of visa is tied up with the duration of the employment contract and it is possible to extend it for up to two years. Another reason for being awarded a short term L-Residence permit is that it provides an opportunity for someone who wants to immigrate to Switzerland for taking up an educational program.

B- Permit or initial residence

This type of residence permit is subject to quotas and cannot exceed a period of one year. An immigrant can however apply to have the permit extended from year to year as long as there are no grounds for rejecting such a request. The number of visas issued under this permit is highly limited and one has to make sure that one meets all criteria before applying for the B-Permit Visa.

C-Permit or Permanent residence

If an immigrant has stayed in Switzerland for ten years continuously then, the candidate can apply for a C permit which allows them to stay permanently in Switzerland as well as switch employers freely. The immigrant can also move freely between cantons (Areas in Switzerland).

Quebec to welcome around 53,000 immigrants next year

Global Tree Canada , Canada Immigration

Quebec plans to welcome 53,000 newcomers in 2018

Quebec has revealed its immigration plan for next year, with strategies in place to continue welcoming a large number of Businesspeople, Skilled Workers, Family Members of Quebec residents and refugees.

Two significant set of numbers are revealed in this plan, the target number of individuals to be chosen by Quebec and granted Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) and the target number of individuals to be admitted to Quebec as new permanent residents.

The CSQ is the document granted by Quebec declaring that the holder has been chosen to settle in Quebec based on the criteria set by this province. With a CSQ, the applicant could submit an application for Canada PRto Canada Immigration authorities, which would review the application on criminal and medical grounds.

Quebec plans to issue as many as 29,000 CSQs under its skilled worker programs next year; this includes certificates granted under the Regular Skilled Worker Program and certificates granted under the Quebec Experience Program.

The Regular Skilled Worker Program is points based immigration process, designed to welcome newcomers who satisfy a point’s threshold based on the factors such as age, work experience, training, language proficiency etc. One of the mentioned goals contained in the plan of Quebec Immigration for next year is for minimum 85% of adult skilled worker newcomers should know French upon admission to the province.

Potential candidates should accumulate enough points for these factors before satisfying a second point’s threshold, where points might be granted for any accompanying dependent kid and proof of financial self-sufficiency.

Earlier this year, Quebec has declared that the Regular Skilled Worker Program will get around 5000 new applications during the period scheduled to occur prior 31^st March next year. The exact dates for the next intake period are yet to be declared. Moreover, few temporary residents in Quebec, as well as some people with a valid job offer, might get entitled to apply for CSQ at any time.

The Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) is a separate program, which is designed to assist foreign employees and foreign students to settle down permanently in this province. PEQ applications are needed to prove French ability. Certificates granted to PEQ applicants are fast-tracked, with many applicants often getting a decision on their CSQ application within a week after applying.

Quebec is also offering a wide range of business immigration programs for entrepreneurs, investors, and self-employed people. This province expects to grant between 4000 and 6000 certificates to business applicants in the next year. The Quebec Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) is mainly popular, as it offers a passive investment prospect.
