Provincial Nominee Program: Liberal Leader

Disparity Dept: Liberal leader Jon Gerrard said on Monday that he would loosen the requirement for applicants under the Provincial Nominee Program to prove that they have at least $10,000 in assets, according to CBC. The Liberals said the family help is needed, given the disparity between incomes in Canada and countries such as India and the Philippines and manitoba Liberals are promising to make it easier for immigrants to come to the province. Gerrard said he would reinstate a provision which used to allow relatives in Manitoba to set up a trust fund to collect the money locally. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
