Canadian Immigration Policy: Bangalore India

Resident Applications Dept: "Immigration is one of the most important economic levers government has. The fact that responsibility and control for it resides almost solely in the hands of the central government doesn't work very well," Clark told The in an interview from Bangalore, India, according to Vancouver Sun. Clark's comments came just one week after the federal government announced an expansion of the Provincial Nominee Program, under which immigrants with skill sets that provinces deem to be desirable - or those most likely to invest and create jobs - are able to have their permanent-resident applications fast-tracked and provincial governments should have more control over Canadian immigration policy, and over who gets approved to live and work in the country, Premier Christy Clark said Monday. "We the provinces are closer to the ground. We know the needs of the economy better and I think Canada will do a better job of shaping immigration policy if the provinces have a greater ability to impact that," she added.
