Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said he expects just 10 to 15 per cent of the immigrants who arrive in Canada this year will have been selected via the new Express Entry application system, a mechanism designed to choose immigrants more quickly to better meet the needs of the labour market. But he expects that figure will rise sharply by 2016
Guys, What I understand that he said word "arrive" not "selected". Definitely the immigrants come after EE selection will be less in 2015 b/c of low ITA's offered so far till April and persons selected after June draws will "arrive"in Canada in 2016 b/c it is a more or less 6 month duration program. It doesn't mean that they are selecting 10-15 % of FSW quota. May b we will see increase no. Of ITAs in 2nd half of year , a way to increase sharply the arrivals of new ones in 2016, as minister said.
