According to the in-office Canada Employment Minister, there will be an upper limit on the figure of petitions filed via the Canadian Experience Category (CEC). During 2009, the volume of admissions under the said category stood at 2,500 even as in 2012, it headed north to become 9,000. This year, approximately 10,000 permanent residents would probably enter the nation, via the said category. The given figure is expected to touch the 15,000-mark by the next year.
Logic behind such pronouncement
The Canadian Federal Administration is allegedly worried that even not-too-highly trained employees are gaining a rather easy access to the condition of the prized Permanent Residency (PR). Such people gain admission, via the Experience Class. To curb such a development, sometime back, the Federal Administration reportedly declared that restricted figure of submissions will be admitted through the CEC even while the immigration department spokesperson said that the, since the department is serious about clearing the build-ups, it has adopted such a step.
Putting limit on the numbers
As per the statement, the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will not entertain more than 12,000 submissions filed via the category. Further, under the new arrangement, those who are cooks, PAs, food & retail supervisors, besides bookkeepers, will not be allowed to submit a petition via the class. But, the professionals from 200 vocations can still file a petition under this class even as the same include veterinary technicians, aircraft mechanics, among others.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson from the CIC has proclaimed that the CEC is the quickest developing economic scheme. The figure of petitions is exceedingly high in the class. To duly supervise the procedure of the arriving submissions, to keep-up a good processing arrangement, besides to make certain that the build-ups don’t go out of control, a capping was essential.
No clarification given for exclusion
Interestingly, nobody from the CIC has given any clarification whatsoever for the exclusion of some professions from the list. One concerned person, however, believes that the fast increasing the rate of the procedure of the Labor Market opinion (LMO) may be a key reason behind the development.
The idea is that a recruiter ought to gain LMO, prior to he employs an alien for a given work opportunity. This would be an explanation that a national is unwilling to grab the opportunity. Over 2400 visas were given for recruiting temporary employees (the immigrants), so that the requirement for labor could be duly fulfilled. To increase the pace of the procedure, fast-track plan was initiated only to be done away with afterwards. However, now these aliens are not given any simple access to the PR.
In all probability–in view of the growth of permanent residents via the CEC–the administration has taken such a step, it’s claimed.
