Marc Miller to prevent Misuse of Visitor Visa in Canada

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the federal government needs to do more to prevent the misuse of visitor visas in Canada. Speaking to CBC News, Miller emphasized the need to ensure visitors are genuinely coming for travel purposes, not to seek asylum or cross into the U.S. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), between October 2023 and August 2024, 21,929 migrants were caught crossing the northern border, up from 8,686 during the same period the previous year. 

Nearly 60% of these migrants were from India, prompting Miller to suggest future visa applicants from India may face increased scrutiny. Miller noted that social media posts highlight how easy it is to fly to Canada and cross into the U.S., fueling a sophisticated, sometimes criminal, network. He has discussed the issue with U.S. officials and stressed the importance of working together to keep borders secure and address this growing problem.

How to choose the right NOC code for your job in Canada? - Read to know more

Choosing the correct National Occupation Classification (NOC) code for your work experience is crucial for your immigration application, as different NOC codes qualify for various immigration streams. Using the wrong NOC code can lead to misrepresentation, which is considered a serious offense and may result in your application being rejected. Given the vast number of NOC codes, finding the right one can be challenging, but Canada’s government provides helpful resources.

 

To find your NOC code, start with the government’s NOC webpage. Enter your job title in the “Filter items” field at the bottom of the page. If your exact title isn’t listed, try a close match. Copy the TEER and NOC code numbers of the closest match and confirm it on Employment and Social Development Canada’s (ESDC) “Search by NOC Code” page. Compare the main duties listed with your job duties; if they don't match, repeat the search. Use ESDC’s NOC search page if needed to find the best fit.
