The global workforce has been haunted by layoff season for some time. Our data show that in 2023 alone, 292 tech companies laid off over 88,000 employees. Immigrants have been confronted with a double whammy due to the fact that job losses frequently affect the status of their visas. The 60-day deadline that laid off H-1B visa holders in the United States have to adhere by has especially come under fire in the past few months. However, the US is not the only country that puts out-of-job immigrants on the clock. The UK's skilled worker visa too, has a 60-day deadline for holders who lose their jobs. What is the skilled worker visa? A Skilled Worker visa allows you to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer. Your visa can last for up to 5 years before you need to extend it. However, if for whatever reason your employment has been brought to an end early, this will shorten the time you can stay in the country. You need to update your visa if you... Ch...

However, recent reports indicate that the British government may alter its immigration policy regarding international students. MP Lord Karan Bilimoria is concerned about the rumored plans of the British government to reduce the number of international students studying in the UK as part of a larger strategy to reduce net migration. “The rumours about the British government changing the immigration policy around international students are very worrying. The concerns in the UK are over the big rise in net migration figures linked to illegal immigration and that needs to be stopped. But international students should be excluded from the net migration figures to the UK,” said Bilimoria, president of the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA), an advisory body serving the interests of international students. Also the chancellor of the University of Birmingham that most international students in the UK, including those from India, returned to their home countries after th...

If you are planning to move to Canada, one of the critical things to look at is your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores. The Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) sends ITAs (invitations to apply) to candidates based on the CRS scores, and the chances of getting invites are higher when the scores are high.  Now, it often happens that one might have used all the credentials needed while entering the Express Entry pool but not been able to touch the cut-off score. For example, the current cut-off score is 489 and you are hovering around 465 to 470, and now have no idea how to bag the extra 20 to 25 marks. Here's what you can do:  How CRS scores are calculated? There is a total of 1,200 points available under the CRS. And, the score is based on various characteristics such as age, education, language skills, work experience, marital status etc.  For example, age is a very crucial factor while counting the CRS scores. If you are between 20-29 and apply, yo...
