Canadian Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced on Tuesday that the Canadian government will introduce a new immigrant model, Express Entry, in 2015 to quickly attract skilled immigrants to meet domestic economic and labor needs.

The implementation of Express Entry will reduce immigration waiting time to approximately 6 months or less. The policy will be implemented in Canada’s four major economic immigration programs, including the Federal Skilled Migration Program, the Federal Technology Trade Program, Canadian Experienced Immigrants, and some individuals who participate in the Provincial Nominee Program. Eligible applicants will be able to apply for permanent residency.

According to FW Canada, the program aims to allow immigrants to meet different economic and labor needs in different parts of Canada, so in the Express Entry program, employers also have a greater influence in deciding which applicants will be accepted. This spring, the Canadian government will set up a counseling session for employers to increase their understanding of the immigration program.

Alexandria said that the federal government is actively communicating with “regional government and industry and commerce” to ensure that the Express Entry model can change both the Canadian immigration and the domestic economy, and “revolutionary” in quickly attracting skilled immigrants. The role of sex.” The federal government will allocate $14 million over the next two years to ensure the smooth implementation of the Express Entry program.

As of October 8, 2013, Canada had 21,314 global federal skilled immigration backlogs, 19,234 provincial nominations, and 16,098 technical immigrants in Quebec.

To sum up, the new immigration policy direction: faster, zero backlog, giving the provincial government and employers more options. We are still very confident about the reopening of the 2015 EOI.
