"Secondly, we will be bringing forward legislation that allows the government to retroactively apply regulations for the selection of immigrants to those who are already in the queue. This means, for example, that as we reform the points grid for the selection of skilled workers to put more emphasis on language proficiency for those who want to work in licensed professions, to put more emphasis on younger workers who we know succeed better over time in Canada, to put more emphasis on Canadian as opposed to foreign work experience, we will be able to apply those criteria to those who are already in the queue".

Why don't he just refuse us in simple words? >:(
 
Dear Lokoloko,

no need to worry !!!

here Minister addressing at - Victoria Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre.

his aim for licensed doctor must have high language proficiency and young workers . part of priority selection

"Selection of skilled workers to put more emphasis on language proficiency for those who want to work in licensed professions"


i think they already started the priority selection process ( back side ) - just announced yet.

correct me if i am wrong !

Dear that is just one example... bad news is.... they ought to apply ALL new regulations to the previous applications, be it education evaluation, language proficiency, and so on.

This is what I understand from his speech.

It also means if a doctor (previous applicant) who has got overall 7 bands in IELTS, but only 6 bands in speaking, will be in trouble if they say that the doctors will now have to score 7 bands each in speaking, listening, reading & writing.
 
It won't be fair if the rules are applied to applicants in queue, they should be processed according to the rules they applied under. I think it is fair to ask high language proficiency for regulated professions and i also like the idea to bring in young immigrants.
 
On the contrary

what the Minister said is interesting and Positive

Out of Imagination does ECU stand for Electronic Communication Unit???? :) :)

Because the notes specifies that the Visa officers are requesting ECU's to request that means to contact or to communicate to the applicant.

Its out of my stupid brain. If you feel its stupid I apologies.

this is what I have found about ECU:

RFV = Ready for Visa. PMB = Program Management Board.

Dear Qorax, my ECAS says "Sent for RFV Check". Do you know what happens in this phase and what's the next step? Certainly appreciate all your inputs.

Thank you.
