Study In USA-Student Visa

Want To Study In USA? Know The Myths About Immigration!

Myths about immigration and immigrants are common. Here are a few of the most frequently heard misconceptions along with information to help you separate fact from fear.

1.      Most immigrants are here illegally.

As per Authorized visa agents in USA, of the more than 31 million foreign-born people living in the United States in 2009, about 20 million were either citizens or legal residents. Of those who did not have authorization to be here, about 45 percent entered the country legally and then let their papers expire.

2. It's just as easy to enter the country legally today as it was when my ancestors arrived.
For about the first 100 years, the United States had an “open immigration system that allowed any able-bodied immigrant in,” explains David Reimers. The biggest obstacle immigrants faced was getting here. Under current policy, as per the USA Student Visa Consultants many students’ immigrant ancestors who arrived between 1790 and 1924 would not be allowed in today.Today there are many rules about who may enter the country and stay legally.

3.      There’s a way to enter the country legally for anyone who wants to get in line.
Generally, gaining permission to gain permanent US residency and work in the United States is limited to people who are:
      A:-  Highly trained in a skill that is in short supply here
      B:-  Escaping political persecution, or
      C:-Joining close family already here.

4.      Immigrants take good jobs from Americans.

According to the Immigration Policy Center, a nonpartisan group, research indicates there is little connection between immigrant labor and unemployment rates of native-born workers. In the United States, two trends—better education and an aging population—have resulted in a decrease in the number of Americans willing or available to take low-paying jobs. Between 2000 and 2005, the supply of low-skilled American-born workers slipped by 1.8 million.

To fill the void, employers are offering Visa Services  to hire immigrant workers. On an economic level, Americans benefit from relatively low prices on food and other goods produced by undocumented immigrant labor.

Undocumented immigrants bring crime.

For USA Visa Agent deny the same by drawing light on the fact that, since 1994, the violent crime rate has declined 34% and the property crime rate has fallen 26%, even as the number of undocumented immigrants has doubled. According to the conservative Americas Majority Foundation, crime rates during the period 1999–2006 were lowest in states with the highest immigration growth rates. Truth is, foreign-born people in America are incarcerated at a much lower rate than native-born Americans, according to the National Institute of Corrections.

Study in Australia - New Laws of Australian Student Visa

If you’re aspiring to make an application to Study in Australia, you need to be cautious regarding certain amendments introduced by the Australian Government in 2012. These Australian policies are in the favor of international students.

Formerly in the year, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) made the below mentioned amendments:
  • Post-study visa plans were introduced by DIAC, where graduates of bachelor, masters and PhDs shall be permitted to work in Australia for four years after graduation.
  • Instead of just IELTS, Australian student visa applicants are now permitted to put forward results from the examination of English as a Foreign Language internet-based test (TOEFL iBT), the Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic and the Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) test.
  • DIAC allowed prepaid home stay fees to be incorporated in the financial requirements assessment.
  • Extension was granted to the PhD students staying in Australia until the completion of the research work and it’s marking.
  • The pre-visa assessment (PVA) policy is now discontinued for student visa applicants from Assessment Levels 3 and 4 (enrollment in a bachelor degree or higher qualification).
  • The evaluation levels have been lowered significantly, for applicants from a number of countries.

These changes will have the following effect:

  • Visa costs
The visa application charge of AUD$535 now is applicable to most visa applications (previously AUD$565) and the same is non- refundable. No fee is applicable for students who are sponsored under Common Wealth Programs, secondary school exchange students or students affected by the closure of their education provider. To know if you come in this category, visit an Australian Visa agent.

Student visa applicants who file their applications with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from a participating university in Australia at bachelor, masters or doctoral degree level will be assessed as though they are a lower migration risk (similar to the current Assessment Level 1), despite of their country of origin.

  • Permission to work
Students who were given Student Visa on or after 26 April 2008 have automatic work rights — included in the $535 visa application charge. If, though, you were granted a student visa before this date and if you wish to apply for work rights, then this will attract a fee of $75.

  • Employment restrictions
Before March 2012, global students were allowed to work up to utmost 20 hours per week. The same has been altered to a more flexible 40 hours every 15 days, wherein a student can work 15 hours in a week and 25 hours the coming week, rather than following 20 hours per week stringently. Students may work unlimited hours during semester breaks. Work limits are not applicable to students carrying out a masters or doctoral degree.

Living in Canada

Calgary is the largest metropolis in the Calga...Image via Wikipedia

Location 

Canada lies to the North of the USA and, behind Russia, is the world's second largest country. The vast majority of Canada's population lives near the southern border with the USA. 

Employment 
In recent years, Canada's agricultural and mineral exports have performed well in world markets. Economic conditions are relatively good for most of the country. 

A few years ago, you would not have been advised to come to Canada to improve your salary. 

Canadians enjoyed, and still enjoy, a very high quality of life but, compared with salaries available in the USA, UK and Northern Europe, Canadians were not highly paid. 

Now rising wages and a strengthening currency have pushed Canada's average wage higher than the USA's, the UK's, and most of Europe's. 

A major advantage of living in Canada is that, in most locations, it's possible to buy a comfortable, large, detached house on a normal income. 

Jobs tend to be most plentiful in Toronto / Southern Ontario, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. 

Canada has not been immune to the general economic downturn, however, unemployment rates in Toronto and Vancouver hover (early 2011) at about 8 percent while Calgary's and Edmonton's are about 6 to 7 percent. 

Getting work can be difficult for migrants when they first arrive in Canada. Ideally you should arrange a job before you go to Canada. 

Before seriously considering moving to Canada, it is absolutely vital you check that Canadian employers will accept your qualifications and experience. 

If you have specialist, in-demand skills you are less likely to encounter difficulties but that is no guarantee of finding a suitable job. 

When they have a position to fill, Canadian employers tend to look first for a local employee - someone they can get the low-down on from trusted industry contacts. If they can't find a suitable local employee, employers will consider taking on a migrant. 

Given the potential difficulties in finding suitable work, migrants are strongly advised to bring plenty of money to live on while job-hunting. 

If your English language skills are not excellent, you may find it almost impossible to get a job appropriate to your skills. 



Character 
Canadians are very hospitable, welcoming people - particularly in provincial and rural Canada. 

The majority of Canadians are very tolerant and follow a live and let live philosophy. There is often a stronger sense of community and duty in Canadian towns than can be found in other countries. 

Visitors to Canada may find it difficult to tell the difference between its English speaking provinces and the USA. 

There is no danger of mistaking French-speaking Quebec for the USA. A degree of hostility to Canadian English speakers can be encountered at times in Quebec. Getting a job or running a business in Quebec requires fluency in French. 

Most of Canada has a semi-continental or a continental climate. 

Depending on the exact location, summers are warm or hot and winters are cold or very cold (or brutally cold). The exception is Canada's Pacific coast, where summers and winters are mild. 

Sunshine is abundant in most provinces, particularly the prairie provinces in the middle of Canada. 

Toronto and Vancouver are Canada's most multicultural and cosmopolitan cites. They are rich in cultural and artistic activities and their restaurants offer many of the world's cuisines.

Housing 
Canada has traditionally offered its residents some of the cheapest housing in the developed world. In recent times, house prices in a number of cities have risen sharply and can no longer be considered cheap. 

The country has huge forests and timber is readily available as a building material. 

Houses in Canada are typically timber-framed and, because of climate extremes, the housing stock is usually high quality and well insulated.

The Climate and Weather of Vancouver, British Columbia

Aerial view of the Colorado Rocky MountainsImage via Wikipedia

The Climate and Weather of Vancouver, British Columbia


Unusually for a Canadian city, Vancouver has relatively mild winters with little snow. The cold air from the Arctic that sweeps over the rest of Canada in winter is unable to reach Vancouver. The Rocky Mountains block it. 

Combine the lack of Arctic air with the mildness of Vancouver's location on the shores of the Pacific Ocean and it's not surprising that Vancouver is the warmest of Canada's major metropolitan cities in winter by far. 

Snow depths of greater than 1 cm are seen on about 10 days each year in Vancouver compared with about 65 days in 
Toronto. 

Vancouver has one of the wettest and foggiest climates of Canada's cities. At times, in winter, it can seem that the rain will never stop. 

Compensating for the the wet winters, Vancouver usually enjoys excellent summer weather characterized by very pleasant, warm days with abundant sunshine. 

Vancouver also differs from most other Canadian cities in that it has a genuine spring and fall/autumn. In many Canadian cities it often seems that warm, summer weather replaces frigid, winter weather in a matter of a very few weeks or even days. 

Vancouver has a western maritime climate, hence its weather can be changeable throughout the year. 

Vancouver is less windy than most other Canadian cities.
