From now on, Kenney says, people will be allowed to apply online, which means that if one local immigration office is backed up, say in New Delhi or Manila, applications can be handled in other offices, be they in Ottawa, Vegreville, or Warsaw. Canada will now limit the number of applications, instead of accepting 500,000 applicants for 250,000 openings. By the end of this month, Kenney says, his department will produce a new point system to fast-track applications from the most employable, skilled, and fluent would-be immigrants, including those already in the country as post-secondary students or temporary foreign workers. With such changes, Kenney vows, his department will cut waiting times from years to months.
