Citizenship And Immigration: Studying In Canada

Permanent Residency Dept: According to government sources, Citizenship and Immigration is set to welcome 7,000 people through the Canada Experience Class in 2012 - the largest influx since the Conservatives launched the program in 2008, according to Montreal Gazette. Sources say the move responds to criticism that this government isn't doing enough for international students and oTTAWA - A government program that expedites applications for permanent residency for temporary foreign workers and international students is poised to expand next year. The program allows those studying in Canada, as well as skilled professionals here on temporary foreign worker permits, to jump the queue and obtain permanent residency quicker and without having to first return to one's home country.
