New Resource Centre for Canadian Immigrants

•
August 11, 2008
Although Canadian immigrants are required to come to Canada with settlement funds sufficient to maintain themselves while they become settled, it is important to know that resources are available to newcomers to assist with their settlement efforts. Community resources exist which will assist newcomers with finding employment, housing and schools for their children. On August 7, 2008, the opening of a new Immigrant Resource Centre in Scarborough, Ontario was attended by the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. The financial assistance from the Canadian government into such centres for Canadian permanent residents who recently applied for permanent residence in Canada will provide a welcome resource to help newcomers to adjust to their new lives in Canada.

Please be advised that the Business Immigration Section of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade is planning a “Doing Business in Ontario” seminar in English on Thursday August 14, 2008 from 8:30am to 12:00pm. This is a half-day orientation on topics relating to business start-up for new Canadian business immigrants. Our many Canadian immigration business clients will benefit from such topics as Services of the Canadian Revenue Agency, Overview of the Employment Standards Act, Information and Services that Business Centers provide and how to have Entrepreneur terms and conditions removed.

We encourage our Canadian Immigration business clients to register for this event by going to http://www.2ontario.com for details. Attendance will be limited to recently landed business immigrants who have come to Ontario under the Entrepreneur, Investor or Self-Employed categories.

Admission to the seminar is free. However, pre-registration is necessary; registration can be done on-line via the website and the necessary documents can be forwarded by fax to 416-325-6653.
*Participants must fax OR mail in a copy of their Record of Landing (IMM 1000) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292).

This is an excellent opportunity to learn about business in Ontario and the seminar can be a great place for newly landed Canadian business immigrants to network with one another and share ideas, problems, and successes.

Document Definitions for Canadian Immigration

•
July 30, 2008
Document checklists will describe what supporting documents must accompany an application for Canadian immigration . It is worthwhile to understand that the terms “original”, “notarized copy”, “photocopy” and “certified translation” appear on the checklists in order to present the proper form of document to comply with the government’s Canadian Immigration requirements. An original document is the actual document issued by the issuing authority. A photocopy is a copy of the original. A notarized copy is a photocopy that has been signed and stamped by a Notary Public or lawyer who indicates on the notarized copy that he/she has seen the original and is certifying that the photocopy is a true copy of the original that he/she has seen. Finally, a certified translation should contain a copy or original of the foreign language document, the translation in English or French of the foreign language document, and most importantly, an affidavit from the translator confirming that he/she is fluent in the language of the foreign document and in English or French and that the translation is a true translation of the foreign language document. In some cases, government authorized translators have their own stamp or seal but most often the affidavit of translation should be sworn before a notary public or lawyer.

Clients of Abrams & Krochak receiving notification of such requests are encouraged to submit copies of documents they intend to forward to the visa office for our review prior to submitting the documents directly to the Canadian embassy or Canadian High Commission to ensure that the supporting documents are sufficient to secure the maximum immigration points. Once Abrams & Krochak has reviewed the supporting documents, the documents and forms can then be forwarded to the visa post for processing
