加拿大公民法改革的方向


因應今天移民局公佈的公民申請費用調整,茲摘錄大人件申請的說明並翻譯重點如下。自2014.02.06起,大人公民申請費用提高爲加幣400元,以移民局收到日期爲準。凡之前因缺漏部份資料而被退件者,若移民局於2014.02.06之前未收到補齊資料重新寄回的申請件皆需補足費用移民局才會繼續審閱。附註:只是技術上該如何補足費用還得和移民局客服中心確認。還有因爲郵件得五天才抵達東岸,所以這過去五天內寄出的申請件都會面臨兩難。



"Effective February 6, 2014, the processing fee for adult grant (including adult adoption) and adult resumption applications has increased. Applications received on or after February 6, 2014 that do not include the correct processing fee will be returned. 

Applications that were returned before February 6, 2014 because of missing information and/or documents and then received by CIC on or after February 6, 2014 will require the new processing fee ($300) plus the right of citizenship fee ($100) for a total of $400. If the application was submitted for concurrent processing with a family member and one of the applications is incomplete, the entire package is returned. Only the incomplete application will be subject to the fee increase." 

今天2014.02.06加拿大移民局公佈了二個新聞稿和十一項背景聲明,列出多項加拿大公民法改革的方向。其中申請公民費用大人每件加幣400元,小孩每件加幣100元自即日起生效。其他會影響大家的還包含:需於六年內住滿四年,並且要有四年每年都實際居住超過183天以上,並且申請送件一律從嚴,不完整缺資料的申請表一律會被退件。我們會密切注意相關規定,儘量協助大家瞭解申請送件的細節。(目前看來其他的改變還未宣布生效日期) 


今天2014.02.06移民局公佈的公民法修法方向,Globe and Mail 報紙的重點整理。茲翻譯和大家比較有影響的重點。1. 六年內需住滿四年,而且其中四年每年實際居住超過183天;未來公民申請表中必需回答是否有在加拿大住下來的意向。2.語言和對加拿大知識的要求將擴及14-64歲(目前僅18-54歲)。3. 申請費用大人增爲加幣400元,小孩維持加幣100元(此新費率即日起生效)5.六年內至少四年有報稅。6. 目前平均取得公民需等待2-3年,預計在減少積壓案件並提高入籍資格以後將可以在2015-2016年的時後達到一年內取得公民身份目標。
