Skilled immigrants to be offered 'express entry' to Canada in 2015

The Canadian government is forging ahead with a new immigration system that will offer "express entry" to

qualified immigrants starting in 2015 as a way to help fill open jobs for which there are no available Canadian

workers.

Express Entry, formerly known as Expression of Interest, will be "a swifter path to Canada that will select

immigrants based on the skills and attributes that Canada needs based on those identified by government but

also by employers," said Immigration Minister Chris Alexander during a news conference in Richmond Hill,Ont., on Tuesday.

While the change in the name of the program was quietly announced in a news release two weeks ago, the

government has been remodelling Canada's immigration system for the last 18 months or so.

Temporary Foreign Worker Program

Express Entry is different from the Temporary Foreign Worker Program which has comeunder heavy

criticism after CBC uncovered several instances where employers are favouring foreign workers over

Canadians.

In those cases, the government has launched investigations, andrevoked or suspendedforeign worker

permits pending the outcome of the investigations. The program is also said to be under review.

Liberal immigration critic John McCallum sent the auditor general a letter on Tuesday asking that his office

audit the TFW Program. In a telephone interview with CBC News, McCallum said an audit could shed light on

whether "the program is being used to displace Canadian workers or drive down wages."

Alexander said Canadian employers would be able to bring in workers through the Express Entry system with

the long-term view that they would remain in Canada.

"You can bring your labour market opinion, your job offer, to the Express Entry system and ensure that the

person you need comes to Canada as an immigrant, not as a temporary foreign worker. Not as someone who

is here with an uncertain future and likely to go back, but as a full immigrant to Canada," Alexander said on

Tuesday.

"And that I think is going to be very exciting because it's going to make the match between our economic

immigrants and their families, and the needs of the Canadian job market much stronger."

Finding 'a match'

Under Canada's new immigration system, which would come into effect on Jan. 1, 2015, prospective

immigrants would apply to express their interest in coming to Canada. In doing so, they would answer a

series of questions about their professional skills, their education, languages spoken, etc.

Those applicants would then see their skills matched with labour needs identified by the provinces and

territories, as well as employers.

While the subject ofskills shortages has been hotly debated,Alexander maintained, "there are many parts

of the country that have acute skills shortages, there are many sectors that have acute skills shortages."

Preparing for the launch of "Express Entry"

New caps for Federal Skilled Worker and Federal Skilled Trades Programs, and CanadianExperience Class

April 23, 2014OttawaCanadas Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander

today announced new measures in key economic immigration programs to prepare for next

years launch of Express Entry, Canadas new active recruitment model. Express Entry will leadto a faster and more flexible economic immigration system that will address Canadas economic

and labour market needs.

To prepare for the launch of Express Entry in 2015, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will

begin accepting applications under new caps for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP),

Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC), starting May 1,

2014. These measures will ensure a steady supply of skilled workers who are settling in Canada

permanently and helping to supplement the Canadian workforce in areas where there are skills

shortages.

With the FSWP backlog on track for elimination this year, a new cap of 25,000 applications will

provide the appropriate number of applications to support expected admissions in 2015. The list

of eligible occupationsreflecting the latest labour market needswill be more than doubled,

from 24 to 50 occupations.

To support Canadas need for skilled trades people, the FSTP cap will be increased to 5,000

applications. All 90 skilled trades designated under the program regulations will now be eligible

for consideration, although sub-caps remain in order to ensure appropriate representation of

occupations.

The CEC cap will be re-set at 8,000 applications, as of May 1, 2014, to cover the transition

period leading up to Express Entry.

The full set of Ministerial Instructions will be available in the Canada Gazetteon April 26, 2014.

Quick facts

These are the last FSWP, FSTP and CEC applications that will be accepted under the

current system before Express Entry launches in January 2015. Application caps ensure that the immigration programs continue to address labour market

needs and that backlogs are not created.

The latest FSWP occupation list was developed based on recent labour market data from

Employment and Social Development Canada and input from the provinces and territories

on regional labour market needs.

Canadas Economic Action Plan 2014 will invest $14 million over two years and $4.7 million

per year ongoing to ensure the successful implementation of Express Entry.

Quote

With these measures in place for our key economic programs, our government is ensuring our

immigration system is addressing Canadas economic and labour market needs while reducing

backlogs and improving processing times. We look forward to the launch of Express Entry next

January, which will be a major step forward in attracting the skilled workers we need and have

them working in Canada faster.

negotiations. Interested parties are invited to comment on any likely and significant environmentalimpacts of a modernized CIFTA on Canada.

The Government of Canada is committed to sustainable development. Mutually supportive trade,

investment and environmental policies can contribute to this objective. To this end, negotiators

endeavor to obtain relevant information and otherwise improve their understanding of the

relationship between trade and environmental issues at the earliest stages of decision making

through an open and inclusive process. Environmental assessments of trade negotiations are critical

to this work.

This process is undertaken in accordance with the 2010 Cabinet Directive on the Environmental

Assessment of Policy, Plan, and Program Proposals.
