Change is a constant in the world of Immigration and in life per say , and the new rules and salary requirements are no exception. Rather than waiting for these changes to be reversed, it's crucial to accept this reality and move forward, just as we've adapted to previous regulations.   Just a heads up, we are anticipating that under the new Labour Government, the following changes are expected :   • Linking the Migration Advisory Committee with the Industrial Strategy Council and Skills England to address skills shortages more effectively • Ensuring that international students have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills by continuing on the Graduate Route after completing their courses.   • Possible introduction of measures requiring priority for UK settled workers in recruitment processes   • Improvements to working conditions and rights for settled workers in the UK   • Guaranteeing that the income threshold for Family Routes remains fixed at £29,000, which would be a significant initiative to help reunite families in the UK.   Adapting to new rules is part of the journey. Embrace the changes, stay informed, and seek professional advice to avoid being overwhelmed. 
At MAK25 London, we always stay on the forefront of the latest update to the Immigration Rules and we boast the expertise to apply them to the best advantage of our clients.

📢 Good news for French companies! The government has relaxed rules related to tax paid by French companies hiring foreign nationals from outside the European Union/European Economic Area/Switzerland. Employers of French residence permit holders are exempt from paying the foreign worker tax. Additionally, employers subject to the tax only need to pay it once annually, instead of paying an invoice sent by the General Directorate of Public Finance after each hire. These measures are part of an effort to streamline the immigration process and ease the process for French employers seeking to attract and hire foreign talent. #immigration #taxrelief #foreignhiring #Frenchcompanies #globaltalent

Approximately 15 RCIC/lawyer colleagues approach me every month for a second opinion on their ICT applications, providing GCMS Officer Notes, particularly those associated with refusals. The primary processing center responsible for these applications is CPC Edmonton. Upon reviewing several cases handled by this office, it is evident that despite the completeness of applications and adherence to criteria outlined in IRCC PDIs and R205(a), they have been inexplicably refused. Upon closer examination of the GCMS notes, it becomes apparent that decisions made after October 2023 lack consistency in the reasons provided for refusal. In some instances, officers cite criteria specific to C11 applications for a C61 application, creating confusion. Furthermore, discrepancies arise, such as an officer processing an ICT application with C11 specifications. Additional inconsistencies include issues with "definitions", a lack of understanding of the share structure of companies in Canada, and unwarranted personal opinions expressed by officers, such as questioning the rationale behind a parent company choosing Canada for expansion!!! It is imperative to emphasize that decisions regarding immigration applications should strictly adhere to the guidelines set forth in IRPA, IRPR, and related policies, PDIs, and guidelines. To address these concerns, I recommend that CPC Edmonton take proactive measures to train its officers to ensure a consistent approach to both approvals and refusals. Training initiatives should emphasize adherence to established criteria and discourage the insertion of personal opinions into the decision-making process. This will not only enhance the integrity of the immigration application process but also contribute to a more transparent and equitable system. If you need your ICT/C11/C10 application to be reviewed at any stage, contact me. [email protected]
