The Huffington Post: Immigrants

Canada Dept: The report published today by The Huffington Post says that while the program attracted thousands of immigrants, mostly from China and the Middle East, many moved on to other parts of Canada after arriving in Prince Edward Island, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Ottawa shut down the program in 2008 after it tried to get P.E.I. to change its program to conform with federal regulations for provincial nominee programs and cHARLOTTETOWN - A program in P.E.I. that was intended to attract immigrants who would actively participate in the province's economy was killed by the federal government over fears it was threatening the integrity of Canada's immigration system, says an investigative news report by journalism students at the University of King's College. The investigation by students at the journalism school in Halifax also says non-profit organizations that otherwise would have been ineligible for access to money spent by immigrants to gain entry to Canada created new corporations structured to meet the program's rules to qualify for funding.
