Canada is set to welcome between 240,000 and 265,000 refugees in 2009, according to Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, Jason Kenney.
The plan for the forthcoming calendar year includes the intake of 156,000 new migrants in the economic category and 71,000 in the family category.
Mr. Kenney also aged that under new and improved administration, all applications for Canadian migration lodged before 27 February 2008 will be processed as a priority, provided the applicants hold one of the 38 specified migration in demand occupations, or have an arrangement for sponsors employment in Canada or have already been legally residing in the country for over a year.
At a recent press conference, Minister Kenney said: “We expect new federal skilled worker applicants, including those with arranged employment, to receive a decision within six to 12 months compared with up to six years under the old system,” said Minister Kenney. “All other economic class applications—including applicants chosen by Quebec, provincial nominees, the Canadian Experience Class, and live-in caregivers—will continue to be given priority.”
These improvements, coupled with various other new migration incentives, such as the Canadian Experience class, look set to bring the country in line with its two major skilled migration rivals, Australia and New Zealand, both of whom have successfully slashed their respective immigration backlogs.
“The recent steps this Government has taken to improve our immigration system will help ensure that Canada remains competitive internationally and responsive to labour market needs domestically,” said Minister Kenney.
