Darren,
First of all there won't be any occupational list. A stronger emphasis shall be
placed on experience and education rather than strictly defined occupations. The
points system will change as well, and I believe Mr Cohen in this group may have a
proposed draft of the new score card. At this moment there is no regulation as to how
the new bill shall be put in practice.
