The recent proclamation from the serving Canadian employment minister–related to capping the figure of submissions filed under the Canadian Experience Category (CEC)–has not gone down well with many, or so it seems. As per the latest development, foreign & restaurant supervisors would be denied the right to file a petition, via the CEC, even as the said class plays a major role in facilitating the progress towards the much sought after Permanent Residency (PR) status for qualified employees arriving as migrants on the shores of the Maple Leaf Country.
Increasing figure of submissions
This is one class which has seen a BIG swell in the volume of petitions submitted during the past couple of years. From just 2,500 submissions presented during 2009, the same is expected to swell to 15,000 by 2014.
Capping the figures
As mentioned before, the Federal Government has made up its mind to cap the intake of submissions at 12,000, through the CEC. Allegedly, as many as six occupations will be kept-out from the list of qualified professions. Petitions would be invited from the professionals involved with nearly 200 professions.
The CEC Scheme
It’s highly preferred economic scheme. It has been admitting maximum figure of submissions from the PR inspired immigrant-candidates. Still, some experts claim that the capping is done to manage the backlog, & also to guarantee that the time required for processing is not over than what one may really have the patience for. It denotes the basic idea is to make it rather speedy for those who are permitted to file a petition, and in case they are entitled to do the same.
LMO’s Part in Capping
Some observers also opine that the national provinces have been entertaining a good figure of submissions filed through the Labour Market Opinion (LMO). It asks the recruiters/job-providers to duly establish that since the local workers are not in a position to fill vacancies in a given industry there is a strong necessity to employ overseas employees. Meanwhile, a report shows that around 2400 workers were recruited alone by a lone province making it obvious that an impressive number of provisional employees are gaining admission into the nation.
What specialists have to say!
Some other experts reportedly claim that earlier a large number of low qualified employees were given the position of permanent residents through the CEC, in the process, making it rather tough for the highly trained workers to gain the prized position. Given this, the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) believes that capping the numbers is essential.
It’s also alleged that though it’s correct that several unworthy aliens have received the status of PR in the nation, the capping of petition figures may not much inspire several deserving candidates. Besides, no justification has been given for the professions which have been excluded.
