Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. If you are new to my channel, my name is Amata Rupani. And in today's review, I am going to talk about one of the new programs that has recently been introduced this year. And it is called UConn Community Pilot Program. And it works under one of its streams, its nomination streams. And guys in this video, I am going to walk you through its a staff-ad-staff application process, requirement, peace and processing time. So without wasting any time, let's start. Let's first understand what this program is about. This program was launched in January 2020. And it is a three year pilot program. And the purpose of this program is to attract and keep immigrants in UConn communities and to meet UConn's economic development and labour market needs. So this is the list of all those communities that are participating in this program. Now let me just walk you through the requirements for this program. The first and most important requirement for this program is to have two to three job offers with up to three employers within the same community. Okay, now finding a job from outside of Canada is the most tricky part. However, if you are within Canada looking for a job, then guys have already made a video on it. And the link is given in the description box below. And I am pretty sure that video will definitely help you to find a job in UConn. Also on their official website, you can find three job search websites where you can look for jobs in UConn communities. And the link of all these websites are also given in the description box below. You can check them out. Let's say the first website is UConn. All you have to do is just write the title of your job that you are looking for and area. And you will get the complete list of those jobs in that particular region. And the purpose of having two to three job offers is to accumulate 1560 hours in a single year, which is equal to minimum 30 hours per week. Another requirement for this program is you must have a copy of the nomination letter from the government of UConn confirming that you have been nominated for permanent residence. And in order to get nomination letter, you need to apply to one of those four nomination streams as shown on this website. And guys, the link of this website is given in the description box below. I am not going to cover the application process for these streams in this video because I wanted to keep this video short. However, if you want me to make videos on these streams, let me know in the comment box. I will definitely make separate videos on these nomination streams. Last requirement for this program is to have assigned letter of support from the government of UConn. That should state that the employers who are offering you the jobs need you to work in the community as soon as possible. And other job details such as name of the employers, occupation, number of hours and job locations. And once you meet all the requirements, all you have to do is just fill out online application for the work permit. And for that, you need to go to their official website, which is cac.gc.ca. And type UConn Community Pilot and click this first link and it will bring you at this page where you scroll it all the way down. And it says how to apply for the work permit. So the first question is where you are applying from. Let's say if you are applying from outside of Canada, then select that option. And the next step is to create your online account. And guys, it is pretty much straightforward to create your account. I already have one. So I'm going to sign into my account. And once you create and log into your account, this is where you can start your work permit application, which is pretty much straightforward. All you have to do is just answer that simple questionnaire. Let's say the first question is what would you like to do in Canada? Then of course you're applying for work permit. So you will write work. And it says how long are you planning to work in Canada? Then it is going to be temporarily more than six months. And you need to enter your country of residence where you are applying from. Let's say if you're applying from India, then enter India. And here comes your date of birth. And guys, all these steps are already mentioned on the main page. And the link of that page is given in the description box below. You can refer those steps in order to fill out this application. And these are super straightforward questionnaire that you need to answer. And I'm not going to go into detail. You can do it by yourself. As I said, it is super easy to do it. And once you finish it, just review your answers. And if you have answered something wrong, then you can always edit it and then press continue. And then it will bring you at this page where you see the number of steps that you need to follow in order to submit your application. And this is your document checklist that you need to upload and all of those documents need to be scanned. So there are some application forms and some supporting documents such as passport, your job offer letter and stuff like this. And the fees you need to pay for work permit is 155 and for bi-matterics, it is 85. So all together, you need to pay $240. Once you pay your fees and upload your scanned copies of your documents, you can submit your application. And the work permit you will be getting is valid for two years and it does not need labor market impact assessment which is great news. And guys, it lets you work maximum for three different employers in the same community. And these are the people who cannot apply to this program. However, you can always contact IRCC to know the requirements for you. And you can check the processing time on this link and all you have to do is just select the application type. So in this case, it will be temporary residence that is work permit and enter your country of residence, let's say India. Then the processing time for India is 21 weeks. Okay, so that was pretty much it for today. If you guys have any questions, please let me know in the comment box. I will try my best to answer them as soon as possible.
