Major Changes Expected in Canada’s Immigration System

Canada promised to bring 300,000 new faces to the country and now the government of Canada is working towards realizing as to what it aimed for. In recent announcement made by John McCallum, minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, the government of Canada is planning to revamp the process of immigration and make it more streamlined.

McCallum had visited the Peel region when he made the big announcement. Earlier, the government of Canada had asked for the views from the general public as to what sort of changes they would like to see in the immigration policies.

At the time of the election campaign of 2015, the Liberal Party had proposed that, if brought to power, they will make fresh changes to the immigration process. The consultation process has now been started by the government to bring these changes into effect.

Discussions are going on between stakeholders and members of the local parliament in Mississauga and Brampton on the final outlook of the immigration policies. The top priority in the changes that are being proposed is to speed up the process of family class immigration to Canada.

As per the present rules, it takes nearly 2 years before a family visa is granted, which is way too long for families to stay away from each other. By reducing this gap, the government will make it easy for families to reunite with their family members.

The present immigration system faced by the government has many concerns at present and efforts are being made to fine tune it and efficient. Changes are also expected to come in skilled and family class Canada visa, along with visitor visa and economic visa category, during the coming fall season.
