To stay competitive globally, we have to make sure the skilled immigrants we choose are the ones that we need, and the most likely to succeed when they get here. Research points to some key changes that will help us meet those goals,’ said Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism.

Federal Skilled Worker Programme in USA
The current Federal Skilled Worker Programme was introduced in June 2002 under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The programme is based on an objective and transparent points system, which considers factors such as language skills, age and education in the selection of immigrants. The system aims to be more effective at selecting those who will succeed economically.
Minimum level of language proficiency
CIC will consult on: requiring federal skilled workers to have a minimum level of language proficiency; making the programme more accessible to skilled trades people, technicians and apprentices; placing greater emphasis on younger immigrants who will adapt more easily and be active members of the work force for a longer time frame; redirecting points from work experience to other factors that better contribute to success in the Canadian work force and in the reduction of potential for fraudulent job offers.
