Canada immigration changes ?

The Canadian government have launched a new consultation on changes to the Federal Skilled Worker Program.

The points for age and English language ability are marked out as areas that could be changed - i.e. giving more points for younger applicants and those who speak advanced English.

The main areas of consultation include;

•requiring federal skilled workers to have a minimum level of language proficiency;

•making the program more accessible to skilled tradespeople, technicians and apprentices;

•placing greater emphasis on younger immigrants who will adapt more easily and be active members of the work force for a longer time frame;

•redirecting points from work experience to other factors that better contribute to success in the Canadian work force; and

•reducing the potential for fraudulent job offers.
