I'm not at all sure how this will affect those currently in the system but it looks like the 300,000 a year target is out the window.

Backlog of 800,000 applicants. :scared::scared:

260,000 per year may be acceptable according to this CBC article.

Seems to me it was said here during the election that the conservatives were not exactly immigration friendly.

I believe I took a harder line than "not exactly immigration friendly". They're no friends of us CFAs.

This is an environmentally unfriendly move that reflects this week's government's position on Kyoto. Fewer immigrants = fewer taxis = more people driving themselves about.

CFA?

Come From Away. Immigrants in the local argot.

Hi

Yeah, but he never said anything about the lowering the 235-260K per year as it is now. The Liberals while in power always trotted out the 1% of Canada's population as it goal for the number of immigrants per year every election. Odd they were in Power for the previous 10 years and the "quota" never changed.

It's a monster sized screw up...Canada needs many skills, what they're doing about it ? Uh, not much and not exactly helping fill the skills void. Anyone with a pair of eyes and a bit of pulpy gray mush lolling about inside their cranium can see how much Canada needs a large portion of skills and experience.

Sensible ? Course not. Typical politicians (of any creed).

Glad I'm <here living> not <there waiting> zzzz.

Rich.

Lower immigration but higher amount of refugees! hes got to look good for the world
