Moving to Canada to become easier in Montreal
February 17 2010 by Liam Clifford
Canada immigration authorities plan to make the process of settling in Canada much faster for foreign workers.
The news was announced by Quebec’s immigration minister, Yolande James at a news conference at the Montreal Science Centre.
The speech was part of a conference that gave representatives from Montreal companies and business district a chance to raise issues they had, especially in relation to skills shortages.
Montreal International’s Bernard de Jaham said of the scheme that it would help Montreal specifically to attract and retain foreign workers,
"It makes the process very easy to get a certificate of selection, which is the first document you need to become a permanent resident.
It will now take a few weeks rather than several months to obtain a Canada visa”
Foreign workers eligible for the new proposed change to Canada immigration must have already worked in Canada for a minimum of one year and have a basic understanding of Francais.
