Registered Migration Agents for Emigration to Canada
In today’s skypecast Eric contrasts the opportunities currently available in the East and West of Canada.
Service industries and manufacturing are strong in the East, particularly the IT industry in Southern Ontario whereas in the Western provinces of British Columbia and Alberta growth is being driven by resource based industries - mining, oil and gas. Eric discusses how this affects your prospects of obtaining a work permit for Canada.

Keep an eye on Canada’s immigration rules, U.S. analyst tells legislators
WASHINGTON (CP) - U.S. officials should watch how Canada enforces its immigration rules to see if the neighbour to the north is being tough enough, an American analyst told a Congress committee this week.
This is clearly an example of how Canada will be harmonizing its border enforcement with the United States. In order to stay on good relations with its southern counterpart, Canada will likely move quickly to integrate its international security with the Americans which some have called creating ‘Fortress North America’. The issues of maintaining sovereignty and security will be a delicate balance and no doubt be a hot political issue in Canada. The major parties will have to throw the trade issue into the mix as Canada sends most of its exports south of the border.
In this episode certified Canadian immigration consultant Eric Katz discusses why Canadian visa applications currently take so long and what can be done to expedite the process.
Eric covers work permits, getting a job offer, the provincial nominee programs in the western provinces of Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia, occupations under pressure and emigrating to Canada as an invester or entrepreneur.

Still, Homeland Security and State Department officials have said they want to bring the passport rule into effect sooner rather than later.
