    Katy Perry’s path to Canadian citizenship: date a prime minister. Yours: check your family tree

    Tin mới

    Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau broke the internet this weekend at Coachella — holding hands between sets, swaying together during Justin Bieber’s headline performance, and posting couple photos to Perry’s 260 million Instagram followers

    Chi tiết

    • But buried in the noise is a question worth asking: could Katy Perry actually become a Canadian citizen
    • Check Your Eligibility for Canadian Citizenship The short answer: not easily
    • Perry’s ancestry is English, German, Irish, and Portuguese — rooted in California, the American South, and the Azores
    • Without Canadian ancestry, her path to citizenship would run through Trudeau himself: spousal sponsorship, which requires a formal application, residency in Canada, and years of processing
    • One of the most famous women in the world could become Canadian only by undergoing a lengthy immigration process

    Permanent residence selection to favour higher earnings, job offers …

    Tin mới

    Higher earnings will matter more than Canadian work experience in the competition for Canadian permanent residence, under Ottawa’s proposed changes to Express Entry Further details on the proposed overhaul of the Express Entry system, Canada’s flagship immigration system for skilled workers, include awarding points for higher earning workers (as part of a wider overhaul of selection criteria), and standardizing work experience eligibility—such that candidates who only have foreign work experience will be given equal consideration to those with Canadian work experience

    Chi tiết

    • See your eligibility for all Express Entry streams and categories Key proposed changes include: – Merging all three programs into one stream with unified eligibility requirements, which would include: Standardizing work experience eligibility to one year of cumulative work experience (Canadian or foreign) in the last three years; – Standardizing language requirements to Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 6 for all candidates; – Proposing an overhaul of the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) factors, including the removal or modification of several scoring criteria, such as: Having a sibling in Canada; – Obtaining a Canadian post-secondary credential; – Having French-language proficiency
    • – Re-introducing job offer points as a new “High Wage Occupation” CRS factor; and – Eliminating the 67-point grid used by the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
    • These details come from a slide deck IRCC shared with immigration lawyers during recent consultations, which has since been made public
    • The proposed changes build on what IRCC signaled earlier this week in its Forward Regulatory Plan: 2026-2028, which revealed the department’s intention to retire the FSWP, Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
