Skilled Workers: Backlog

Canada Dept: The federal budget included a $130-million refund of money to the backlog of 300,000 people who applied before 2008 to come to Canada as skilled workers, according to Winnipeg Free Press. It doesn t come across to me to be fair, if I m waiting for years and my number s about to be called and they say, here s your money back... he said and a backlog of foreigners who applied to come to Canada as skilled workers is getting application fees refunded but the dream of coming to Canada is over. The government changed the criteria for applicants coming to Canada as skilled workers, and those who applied before then are out of luck, said Liberal Immigration critic Kevin Lamoureux.
