20 15 what are the changes in Canada's new immigration policy?

Last year, the Canadian federal government set the number of immigrants to be absorbed at between 240,000 and 260,000. When Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Alexander announced the new immigration policy this morning, he said that he hoped to absorb 260,000 to 285,000 new immigrants next year.

2. Increase the economic category

Among them, economic immigrants mainly increased, accounting for 65% of the total number of immigrants (180, 1300), two percentage points more than last year.

We will achieve our goal through the overseas students and temporary employees program, and increase the number of immigrants in these two departments from 65,438+05,000 last year to 23,000 next year.

3. Investment immigrants have no place.

When talking about the cancelled categories of investment immigrants, Alexander admitted that the implementation of the plan proved to be a failure in the past, because the applicant's money did not really enter the investment channel, but was loaned to the provincial governments for provincial expenses.

The direction of attracting investment in the future can be through other channels, such as skilled migration and immigrant venture capital pilot. Applicants who have invested in immigration in the past can apply through these new channels.

4. Family reunion remains unchanged.

Family reunion is expected to receive 68,000 immigrants, accounting for 24.4% of the total number of immigrants, including 48,000 spouses, cohabiting partners and children, and 20,000 parents and grandparents.

5. Refugee application

The number of refugee applications will remain basically unchanged, but the number of refugee applications for humanitarian reasons will increase by 4,000, accounting for 10.7% of the total number of immigrants, in order to alleviate the backlog of cases in previous years. It is estimated that by the end of 2065, the backlog of refugee applications will be reduced by 40%, 438+05.

Canada plans to receive14,500 refugees in 20 15 years.

The minister doesn't mind that the "fast track" becomes a disguised family reunion.

The new fast-track application system, which will be implemented on June 5438+ 10 next year, will make Canada's immigration system more flexible, respond to employers' needs more quickly, and cope with the changing economic situation and priorities.
