the CanadaVisa Team - 30 March, 2012
This decision has been reached as part of a larger effort by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to “transition to a faster and more flexible economic immigration system”. Approximately 160,000 FSW applications, submitted after February 28, 2008, will remain in queue for processing.
Stay tuned for a special edition of CIC News later tonight, which will elaborate on the announcement, its rationale, and options for returned applicants who wish to continue efforts to come to Canada.
