Canada to fast track applications from safe countries.

According to a new proposal by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the Canadian government is expected to fast-track people from counties that are generally deemed safe who make a visa application.
In a push by the Conservative party for reform to make the Canadian visa system more similar to the British, this proposal will attempt to speed up the laborious and lengthy process that is Canadian immigration.

Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney would not comment on the details of what the reform would include, but he did describe the fast-track proposal.

He said the fast-track reform is: "One dominant idea that has been proposed that I think is worth consideration. The reality is there's been, for good reason, a great deal of caution from successive governments about this issue."

The reform, if it passes, will change the system so that visa applicants from countries that are generally deemed "safe" will be able to enter the county much more quickly, freeing up resources to allow other applicants to also have their visa application judged more quickly

You really should go back and read the article again and then look at www.cic.gc.ca It has nothing to do with regular immigration it is about fast tracking refugee claims. What will happen is that persons from "safe countries" claiming refugee status will fast tracked and removed quickly. Similar to the safe third country agreement with the US.
