Canada hopes to reduce incidences of fraudulent immigration and citizenship representatives who charge fees but prey upon unsuspecting immigration applicants.
While this legislation governs agents based in Canada it fails to protect immigrants who engage agents not in Canada. Moreover, everyone in Canada and coming to Canada faces the same 1-in-4 odds of life success.
Immigrants have looked to Canada as a safe haven for adequate employment, peace of mind and personal freedom. As of June 30, 2011, Consultants or Agents based in Canada hired to help immigrants applying to enter Canada are under strict new rules. This new law does not directly affect consultants in other countries.
New Rules Consultants can still make applications for immigrants under the headings of: • Temporary Resident Visa• Federal Skilled Worker• Work Permit• Sponsorship of a Spouse, Common-law Partner, Conjugal Partner• Permanent Resident Card• Study Permit, or • Canadian Citizenship. However, it is now a federal offense for anyone other than an “Accredited Immigration Representative” to conduct his business, for a fee or other consideration, at any stage of an immigration application or proceeding. And, there are increased penalties and fines for such unauthorized representation. The new law allows for more government regulation to improve how immigration consultants operate. Agents, consultants and immigrants can see more details of the new law posted at the Citizenship Immigration Canada website. Same Risks Remain Despite these new rules governing consultants, and even if immigrants are successful in emigrating to Canada they are still facing life-altering risks. Few, if any, immigration consultants nor Citizenship Immigration Canada will make it sufficiently clear to potential immigrants about the poor odds of getting adequate employment and success in family life. So it becomes the moral duty of Family Lawyers in all countries to inform and advise potential immigrants of their poor chances of success. Mathematically, the combined odds for achieving both adequate employment and success in family life in Canada are as poor 1 in 4. In the inverse meaning, there is a 75% chance of failure. The odds for both are based on the latest Statistics Canada and Justice Canada reports. According to Statistics Canada reports, four years after arrival, nearly 1 in 2 immigrants failed to achieve adequate employment. Nearly 1 in 2 is nearly 50-50. According to Justice Canada, the rate for all Canadian’s first marriages to fail is 42% and if combined with marriage-like relationship failures it puts the risk at or near 50% or 50-50, or nearly 1 in 2. If a husband fails to get an adequate job, that’s one thing. But, if at the same time, his family fails, and one may cause the other, then those odds of 50-50 for each combine and force his chances for success in life down to 1 in 4 (.50 x .50 = .25). If his family were to fail, provincial family laws are frequently invoked and he is set upon a perilous path to destruction by state-initiated litigation and prosecution. The State as Enforcer A former husband and father’s personal path to state-enforced purgatory may include: * Seizure of his Canada Passport * Professional operator’s and driver’s licenses nullified, or both * A minimum of 50% garnishment of all earnings * If living on social assistance, half of those payments confiscated * Pension benefits to him cut in half for life * Court orders to never see his children, yet * Be ordered to pay for the children’s university or vocational school costs * Escalating child support arrears accumulating into a permanent debt condition * And with that, he could be recycled through jail for his support debts (Debtor’s Prison) * Provincial family justice systems may issue a nation-wide arrest warrant * The provincial authorities may use electronic surveillance to trap him * The authorities may issue wanted postings on the worldwide web. While these penalties hobble a man's ability to earn to pay support or arrears, Canada’s provincial family courts fail to consider that in rendering further prosecution. Lack of Due Process Case histories have shown it possible that none of his appeals for relief may be heard in court or accepted for reading by a judge in chambers (no regulations of judges here). A former husband trapped by the state under these circumstances may decide the only way out is by his suicide (cases documented). 1-In-4 Odds in Canada Again, the combined odds for finding adequate employment together with the outcome of success of his family life in Canada are only 1 in 4, inversely, life success in Canada is set at 75% chance of failure. For some skilled workers or professionals seeking permanent resident status or citizenship in Canada those odds are simply not good enough. While these immigrants are desirable to Canada they are more intelligent and therefore more cautious and mindful when choosing a country to emigrate to for the rest of their lives. There are alternatives (see author's website). ArticleSource: ArticlesAlley.com
