2016 Target

The
numbers do not change for parents and grandparents but there is increased quota
for young families. This is great news for those Canadians who marry foreigners
and will be applying to sponsor their spouse.
2.
The impact of this increase?
Young
people in particular those who have received their education, training and work
experience outside Canada will definitely be a boost to Canadian economy. It is
our hope as a nation that these immigrants will bring fresh ideas which would
be sowed, nurtured and reaped for everyone’s benefit.
3.
Any changes made to support family sponsorship program?
There
are proposals to change the Immigration
and Refugee Protection Regulations:
a)
Previously a sponsored spouse was issued with conditional permanent residence
whereby the sponsored person was required to live with the sponsor (spouse) for
two years as a condition of permanent residence. The Government of Canada is
proposing to eliminate this condition.
b)
In August of 2014 the definition of dependent child was amended to set the
maximum age of a dependent child to < 19. The proposal now is to restore the
definition to its previous state whereby the maximum age of a dependent child
will be < 22.

How many newcomers is Canada targeting for 2017?
According
to the report released in October of 2016 Canada will welcome between 280-320K (target
of 300K) new immigrants. Out of this number at lease 172K will be economic immigrants.
2.
What should newcomers consider before immigrating to Canada?
Based
on surveys and roundtable discussions conducted, there are several areas which
pose a challenge for newcomers. This was highlighted in a report entitled “Report
on Qualitative Findings” submitted to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada by Leger, a research group. To quote from the said report amongst the
important considerations are:
1)
Integration issues (mostly tied to linguistic integration, and economic
integration often referred to as “finding that first job”);
2)
The capacity of our job market to supply enough quality employment
opportunities to newcomers;
3)
Our capacity to properly support and adequately educate newcomers on our laws,
and “general way of doing things”, allowing newcomers to smoothly “fit in” (an
individual responsibility of members of the host society directly in contact
with newcomers);
4)
Foreign credential recognition and the burden on professionals to “regain”
their right to work in their field; and
5)
System capacity issues (vetting, selection, welcoming, and proper follow-ups
and measurement of outcomes).
