Allen Roach: Language Requirements

Allan Roach Dept: More than half that money comes from good faith deposits which every nominee was required to pay, and most of the remainder was from failure to meet language requirements, according to CBC. Allen Roach, the minister responsible for immigration, said that situation is improving and the P.E.I. government has added $63 million to its bottom line through defaults on deposits made by immigrants through the Provincial Nominee Program since 2005. Allan Roach believes P.E.I.'s record of immigrant retention is improving. The good faith deposit is returned if the immigrant stays on P.E.I. for a year. According to public accounts almost 1,500 immigrants have failed to meet that requirement since 2008. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
