Federal Skilled Workers \u2013 Proposed Changes 2012<\/p>\n

The Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism has recently announced the possible changes that will take place later in 2012 for Federal Skilled Workers applying to come to Canada. Usually these changes are officially published by the end of June each year. With the information that the Minister has provided on April 4th<\/sup>, 2012 and April 10th<\/sup>, 2012 we can predict some of these changes and be prepared for the following:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A new streamlined program for skilled tradespersons (occupations in construction, transportation, manufacturing and service industries)<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 New regulations for a new points grid for Federal Skilled Workers<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Preference for younger immigrants<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More emphasis in high language proficiency for licensed professions<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pre-assessment of foreign credentials<\/p>\n

These changes are not official yet but we will keep posting regarding this matter.<\/p>\n

Please share your opinion with us, we are looking forward to hearing from you.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
