The coming New Year is going to bring in some fresh and streamlined changes to Canada’s immigration system focusing on one key issue, i.e. getting a decent job.
The Immigration Minister of Canada, Jason Kenney, made an announcement on Thursday that he is all set up to introduce a revamped “points system” from January, 2013, that will be used to evaluate everyone applying to set up a new life in the country. Kenney explained that “as a result of our reforms you’ll see a higher and higher share of the economic immigrants either already working here or being invited by employers.”
He elaborated that these reforms will be inserting new focus on the immigrants being invited by the employers to work in Canada that will enable them to have a ready job on arrival. Kenney further added that the new system includes pre-assessment of overseas applicants’ education making it easier for the foreign professionals to assess their credentials recognized in Canada. He mentioned that “I don’t think we’re being true to our reputation as a land of opportunity by inviting engineers to come here and come and drive cabs, or medical doctors to come here and be night watchmen or convenience store clerks.”
Just as before, the non-refugees who are not sponsored by Canadian family members will still be allowed to settle in Canada, but from January onwards they will be obligated to score at least 67 points for educational, language or other skills. The new system is going to emphasize on youth, Canadian work experience and English or French language skills.
