Jason Kenney: Monday's federal cabinet shuffle saw the departure of one of the longest-serving immigration ministers in recent history. Since 2008, Jason Kenney has been the face of Citizenship and Immigration Canada. During that time, he has ushered in fundamental changes to Canada's immigration system and changed the immigration system to one that was focused on family reunification and individual immigrants to one that is now more employer-driven and enforcement-minded. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. The biggest shift in Kenney's immigration policy was the virtual elimination of immigration categories allowing foreigners to immigrate here without a Canadian job or job offer. Before Kenney became immigration minister, most immigrants came to Canada on the basis of their foreign education and work credentials. While many succeeded in finding jobs, too many came here to find themselves unemployed and their foreign professional or trade credentials given little or no value. Jason Kenney has been the face of immigration in Canada for five years. THE CANADIAN PRESS ARCHIVES The winners from the Jason Kenney era are employers and law-abiding immigrants. The losers include families with relatives abroad and provincial immigration programs. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
