回复: 北京2006 case的进来说说
Ottawa's selective ear
The new law gives the minister the power to issue "instructions" to her department to
give priority to certain categories of immigrants whose job skills are in demand in Canada. She has also been empowered to cap the number of applicants in any category and to
refuse certain applicants even if they meet all the necessary qualifications.
These changes represent a vast departure from the old "point system" of selecting immigrants. Under that system, every application had to be evaluated and processed in the order in which it was received.
The government says the moves are necessary to stop further growth in the backlog of applicants, which has grown to about 925,000. As a result, each application can take up to six years to process.
