Ontario and Michael Coteau

Michael Coteau: Immigration and Citizenship Minister Michael Coteau said the changes would help Ontario lure experts in fields like information technology, where there are shortages, and run a larger program than the one that now brings 100,000 new residents annually. , according to Hamilton Spectator. "We want a really fair relationship with the federal government to ensure that Ontario can have a little bit more control of its destiny when moving forward with immigration." Ontario could set targets for attracting more skilled immigrants and have more of a say in who comes to the province under legislation proposed Wednesday by the minority Liberal government. Ontario's portion of skilled immigrants coming to Canada has fallen to 45 per cent from 65 per cent in the 1960s, Coteau told reporters. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
