加拿大留学签证可以说是所有留学签证中最难以申请的签证了。留学拒签,一般是移民官认为申请人“无充足的资金”,“学习目的不明确”,或者“有移民倾向”。
事实上,加拿大是个移民的国家,而加拿大的技术移民政策,也一直在朝着吸引有加拿大经验的人作为移民人士的方向发展。这一点,从移民部近几年一直放宽留学工作签证的政策鼓励留学生在学习期间积累工作经验,以及2008年加拿大移民部正式实施“加拿大经验”类移民中可以明显看出。
这样看来,签证官在审理留学申请时似乎处于一个很尴尬的境地:一方面,留学生在申请时一定要让签证官相信,他在留学完加拿大以后一定要按期返回;另一方面,加拿大的移民政策,又希望留学生在留学期满以后,找到工作,从而成功移民,以满足日益紧缺的劳动力市场的需要。所以,加拿大需要大量吸引国际学生,这一点也无庸置疑。
那么,留学签证官在把握这个“移民倾向”时究竟有什么尺度、有什么遵循,从而保证移民官客观地审理呢?
这个尺度就在签证官的操作手册(operational manual/overseas processing: student)里。
首先,我们通常所说的“移民倾向”,在加拿大的法律名字叫做“双重意愿”(duel intention)
在这个OP12里,就对“双重倾向”进行了界定。以下是加拿大移民部官方网站上,援引移民法规对双重意愿的法律解释。
Section 22(2) of Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) states: “An intention by a foreign national to become a permanent resident does not preclude them from becoming a temporary resident if the officer is satisfied that they will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay.” This can come up in a situation where an international student has one intention to apply for a study permit (as a temporary resident) and a second intention to apply for permanent residency. An applicant may have several mechanisms under the Act allowing them to transfer from the temporary resident stream to the permanent resident stream that would satisfy this dual intent provision. This “dual intent’ is not grounds for refusal of the study permit.
《移民与难民保护法第22条第2款规定:” 一个有成为永久居民的意愿的外国人,如果签证官认为,他会在许可的期限到期后离开加拿大,则该外国人的意愿,并不能够影响到他成为一个临时居民。”比如,一个国际学生就可能有“双重意愿”,第一个意愿是申请学习许可(临时居民),第二个意愿是申请永久居民身份。根据《移民与难民保护法》,学生可以通过几种渠道,从临时居民转变为永久居民,而这符合双重意愿意的规定。这个“双重意愿”并不能作为学习许可申请被拒签的理由。
An international student should first be aware that:
· Holders of a study permit are normally required to return home at the end of the period authorized for their stay which usually corresponds with the completion of their studies and they must commit to respecting this requirement at the time of application for the study permit; and
· Federal government programs may be available to international students which permit them to stay and work in Canada after having completed their studies and, in some cases, eventually apply for permanent residency. If unable to qualify for such programs a student is required to leave Canada upon expiry of their study permit.
国际学生应该明白:
持有学习许可,通常情况下需要他们在居留期满后(一般与学习的长度一致)回家,他们必须在申请学习许可时承认要遵守这一要求;
联邦政府的移民项目可能使国际学生在学习期满后(在加拿大)居住和工作,并最终获得永久居住权。如果不符合此类项目,要求学生在留学许可到期后离开加拿大。
Background 背景资料
Stakeholders in the higher education sector have expressed a desire to ensure clarity surrounding the concept of “dual intent’ in order to ensure that it is understood by everybody that, as stated in the legislation, having both intents – one for temporary residence through the study permit, and one for permanent residency – is legitimate.
高等教育部门的股东们表示希望对“双重意愿”的概念予以澄清,从而确保每个人都能理解:根据法律规定,同时具有两个意愿(一个意愿是通过获得学习许可作为临时居住权,另外一个是永久居住权的意愿)是合法的。
The federal government wants to ensure Canada is attracting the maximum number of qualified international students in the competitive global market. Taking steps to clarify the concept of dual intent for stakeholders will only further strengthen CIC’s important role in fulfilling this key priority of the federal government.
联邦政府希望保证加拿大正在从竞争激烈的全球市场上吸引尽可能多的高素质国际学生。采取行动,为各股东澄清双重意愿的概念,将只会加强移民部在贯彻这个联邦政府第一优先政策中所发挥的作用。
The Government of Canada has expressed its commitment to attract more international students to Canada and ultimately tap into this source for highly educated workers to contribute to its labour force. Canada has outlined its overall policy objectives related to student recruitment in its 2007 Budget and accompanying economic plan, Advantage Canada, in which it stated that it encourages the “best foreign students to attend Canadian colleges and universities by marketing the excellence of Canada’s post-secondary education system”. This is accompanied by policy objectives designed to retain international students to pursue a “knowledge advantage” in which Canada will create “the best-educated, most skilled and most flexible workforce in the world”. These objectives were also reinforced in the federal government budget of 2008.
加拿大政府曾表示致力于吸引更多的国际学生去加拿大学习,并最终使国际学生转化为高素质工人,以为加拿大的劳动力市场作出贡献。加拿大政府在2007年的预算及《加拿大优势》经济计划书里,对有关国际学生的招收工作进行了布署,阐述加拿大“通过对高等教育体系进行市场作运作,从而吸引最好的外国学生到加拿大的大中专院校里学习”。同时,加拿大政府制定政策,其目标是留住国际学生的“知识优势”,从而使加拿大能够创造“世界上具有最好教育、最有技能、最具灵活性的劳动人口”。这些工作目标也在联邦政府的2008年度预算里进行了加强。
明白了以上“双重意愿”的法律含义及背景资料,也就明白了加拿大留学签证申请的要领。加拿大留学签证不需要面谈,所以材料的质量是成功的关键。只要材料做得好,学习计划写得明白,签证官一般不会援引“移民倾向”而拒签的。当然,如果学习计划不合理,资金问题准备得不充分或解释得不清楚,将会是导致拒签的主要因素;而移民官在拒签时,也会顺便扯出“有移民倾向”这个大旗,以便使他的拒签看起来理由更充分而已。
