Government Sets and Immigration Plan

government: Ordinarily, the government sets a range of privately sponsored refugees it will accept from around the world each year, but it unclear whether the Syrian program will be part of that or on top of it, according to Globe and Mail. I’m assuming the government has a range, a target, as part of the 2016 plan but all of this impacts funding going into the next fiscal year, particularly settlement support, because some regions of the country have significant wait-lists for some or all settlement programming, he said. But nobody knows how those applications will be treated without knowing the government overall immigration plan for 2016, he said. The levels plan is contained in the legally mandated annual report on immigration. That 2016 immigration level plan is going to be critically important for everybody, said Friesen. It lays out how many immigrants in all categories the government anticipates accepting each year. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
