By November 2016, Canada could make Immigration easier for certain categories
Immigration Minister Mr. John McCallum has indicated that keeping in mind the requirements of certain industries that are in shortage of manpower, the aging population, Canada may increase the targets of immigrants to be allowed in the country.
High Demand form Industries- John McCallum apprised that he has been receiving input from various industries who had been requesting him to allow more immigrants into the country to bridge the skill shortage gap or for demographic reasons i.e. remote areas where native Canadians are not ready to more.
He indicated that we might consider meeting the demand favorably by November 2016 by when amendments to present immigration policy would be announced
Canada may set record target for immigrants
This year 2016, till date 160,000 migrants have been admitted under economic category about 80000 have been invited under family class. Overall this year, 300,000 migrants are planned to be admitted. To ensure that maximum numbers of immigrants as planned are admitted, the ITA criteria too in the recent draw has been liberalized and applications with much lower Comprehensive Ranking Score(CRS) were admitted.
In addition to Express Entry, large number of immigrants under Quebec Skilled worker Program and Provincial Nomination Program are also being admitted.
