National Metropolis Conference: Keynote Address

Immigration System Dept: "Immigration is playing an increasingly important role in our economy and we need a system that does a better job of attracting the people who have the skills that are in demand and getting them here quickly," Kenney said in the keynote address to the National Metropolis Conference in Toronto. "We have made some great strides towards an immigration system that is fast and flexible, but know that there is more work to do.", according to CTV. Kenney says he plans to redesign the immigration point system to be more flexible and place greater emphasis on language ability and youth and immigration Minister Jason Kenney outlined his vision Thursday for a faster immigration system that would allow employers a greater say in selecting new Canadians. Kenney's plan would see employers have the ability hand-pick potential immigrants and bring them to the front of the line. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
