我在前一个帖子贴出加拿大媒体The Globe and Mail的新闻Immigration overhaul would let employers choose prospects,又翻出CIC相关的资料,现在就新政的变化以及对91的影响发出自己的看法,希望可以做到尽量客观。
先贴出几个重要连接,我引用的英文都出自这些连接:

首先讨论大家最关心的CIC如何清理积案:
这几年CIC针对各项移民类别不断推出新政策,虽然看得人眼花缭乱,但有一个中心思想,对于已经收进来的申请负责到底,对于新来的,提高门槛,限制数量,甚至关门。投资移民从40万资产提高到80万,再限制700个名额,但是没有强撤投资40万的旧案。(祖)父母团聚移民,暂停两年接收新申请,同时提高2倍配额来清理旧案,而不是强撤。同理,移民部对于91,也会采用同样的手段,在适当的时候加速清理,而不是强撤。
也许还有人不敢相信CIC会对91负责到底,试问CIC连(祖)父母类别的旧案的老头老太太都没有抛弃,却要抛弃对加拿大经济要做贡献的技术移民吗?
2011年年底CIC宣布暂停新的申请,并将配额提高2倍来清理(祖)父母团聚,对于已经在队列中的申请无疑是利好的消息。我认为这个模式也将应用于91。当然CIC不可能完全关门两年,提高2倍配额来处理91,他们采取的方式为进一步大幅度压缩新来的申请,为旧案腾出更多配额。
接下来晒一晒2012新政的具体变化。
首先,继经验类移民和今年的博士生移民之后,新建一个trades people的类别,这个类别不属于联邦技术,而是和联邦技术,投资平行的隶属于经济类的一个子类目。
Mr. Kenney said in an interview Wednesday that he wants to create a new economic stream for trades people, who currently don’t qualify under Canada’s education-focused federal skilled worker program.
甄选技术移民的6大要素,教育,语言,工作经验,年龄,Arranged employment和 Adaptability, 有三项作改动,工作经验的21分减6分,第一语言加4分,年龄加2分。
除了分数重新调配,年龄要想拿12分必须在35以下,36岁减1分,36减2分,依此类推,49岁为0。
根据不同职业设置语言最低要求。
professionals in language intensive fields, such as doctors and lawyers, will have to be fluent in an official language, Mr. Kenney said.At the same time, Mr. Kenney said he wants a flexible language grid, so that applicants in fields that don’t require a high level of fluency aren’t automatically excluded.
就是说医生和律师等language intensive的职业必须要雅思四个H才够格,哪怕总分够了语言达不到也不合格,而其他对语言的流利度要求较松的职业则对应较低的雅思成绩。但较低也不意味考了4个L也能达标。
对于中国的申请者而言,只要年龄35以下,雅思够格,新的标准不是最坏的。36岁的年龄减了1分就必须在雅思补1分,37岁的要补2分,依此类推。
现在就看CIC新推出的职业列表是多少种类,但是仔细查找根本没有这方面的信息!Frankly, the employer knows better than a big bureaucracy whose skills are needed and will be relevant to the Canadian labour market the minute they arrive,暗示CIC本身不再列出职业限制,而让加国本地的雇主各取所需!
38项或者29项都是一时的权宜之计,目的是为了限制新来的申请。这次移民变革是长远变革,为什么要全面修订NOC表?为了扩大职业范围吸收技术移民!
可以肯定今年71后对新申请人的数量限制得更多,但这次也许不是限制职业,而是总人数。
Until the backlog is completely gone, we can’t begin to get to where our economic immigration system needs to be, and we will not have a “real time” immigration system. we need to be more aggressive in reducing the huge backlogs we inherited, which still have wait times of seven years or longer.
康尼在National Metropolis Conference讲话中表示要对旧案more aggresive!因为只有旧案完全解决了,新政策才能真正无拘无束地实施。
Minister Kenney gave the Globe & Mail a peek into the new points system and, in so doing, revealed that he intends to push further down the processing stream those applications which were filed before the yet-to-be-released new points system.
他对Globe and Mail透露的信息中再次强调了要对旧案push further down。
今年的新政不再是前几次那样消极的把剩余的配额分给91,而是让新政积极适应一部分91,再通过别的stream对91继续分流,例如AEO和省提名。
He also said employers will soon be able to hand-pick prospective immigrants and send them to the front of the line for assessment.“Once people have been identified by employers, if they meet our other standards we would fast-track them into the country,” AEO分流。
Another possibility floated by Mr. Kenney is to create what’s known as an expression-of-interest system, whereby employers and provinces could sort through and assess a pool of applicants. Promising candidates could then be streamed quickly to the head of the skilled worker program or a provincial nominee program. 省提名分流。
这样一来,91的队伍中符合新政的分出来,符合AEO和省提名的也分出来,剩余的加大配额处理。
具体操作,应该是像09年那样,给每一个旧案发一封“确认信”,要求符合新政的递交语言成绩,被雇主和省提名选中的递交相关材料,剩余的继续按照旧法处理,但同时善意提醒,如果不想继续等待就给退申请费。不要小看了09年的确认信,全球范围内成功退掉了15万人,这也是保守党不慌不忙的原因之一。
91的队伍被分流以后对所有人都有利,即使35岁以上的享受不到新政也是利大于弊,因为新收进来的卡得更紧,自己所在的队伍也被分化因此变短,更重要的是CIC决意对旧案大开闸门,并且将会有配额支持 He said he intends to keep immigration levels fairly steady, at about 260,000 a year.
