The Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) announced proposed amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) referred to as the 3-pronged approach. The approach includes the introduction of a new class – the Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC).
"The new FSTC is open to selected trades people with experience in the occupational areas," explains Deepak Kohli, President of Transcend Consultants, a regulated Canadian-based immigration consultancy office.
"This is a pass/fail system, meaning that the applicants are assessed based on a set of criteria (as compared to a points system). The applicants meeting all the criteria are selected."
The minimum criteria to be met for the FSTC class are the following:
Ability to work in one of the trades (up to 2 job offers or assessed qualifications);
Proficiency in official languages (minimum CLB 5);
Previous work experience in the selected trades (minimum 2 years full-time); and
Meeting employment requirements of the selected trade.
The occupations for selected trade are identified through the National Occupational Classification (NOC) are the following:
Minor Group
632 Chefs & Cooks (2 occupations)
633 Butchers & Bakers (2 occupations)
Major Group
72 Industrial, Electrical & Construction Trades (33 occupations)
73 Maintenance and equipment operation trades (26 occupations)
82 Supervisors and technical occupations in natural resources, agriculture and related production (10 occupations)
92 Processing, manufacturing and utilities supervisors and central control operators (17 occupations)
The regulations are expected to be implemented in January 2013 but may be possibly revised based on public consultations, explained Deepak.

Hi,
My family and I are going to apply.. I am excited for the future but nervous that the same time.
I have been reading a lot of Canadian news and at some point, I was frustrated of all the things I read like slash in number of immigrants, preference of white people compared to 3rd world countries and all.. But, as I keeping my faith high, I also read good news and one of which is.
Ontario advisory body recommends increase in immigration
The Ontario Expert Round Table on Immigration, a committee established to advise the Ontario provincial government on immigration policy, has issued a report saying that Ontario should increase its immigration level to 1% of its population (or 135,000 people) annually.
The Expert Round Table comprised businesspeople, academics and representatives of the not-for-profit sector and the province's settlement services. Its report is titled Expanding Our Routes To Success. The report states that the numbers of immigrants settling in Ontario fell from 89,079 in 2001 to 36,939 in 2011. Because Ontario has never had an immigration strategy, it is not attracting those with the greatest skills, the Round Table says.
Because of its ageing population, a workforce forecast to shrink in the near future and a severe skills shortage, the report recommends that the province should establish an active immigration policy to attract highly skilled workers. 'Immigration is key to Ontario's future prosperity and the development of an immigration strategy should be an integral part of the province's overall economic strategy.'
The report says that immigration policy must be integrated across all ministries of the provincial government. The report comes up with 32 recommendations, the first of which is to increase annual immigration to 135,000.
Other recommendations include:
• Immigration policy should be fair and foster diversity
• Most immigration should come via the Federal Skilled Worker Program
• The cap on immigration via Ontario Provincial Nominee Program should be raised from 1,000 to 5,000
• The Federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program should be used to recruit highly skilled temporary foreign workers in the skilled trades
• Greater efforts to be made to attract entrepreneurs to the province
• Employers and communities must help immigrants to become integrated members of Ontario society
• The government must continue to honour its traditional commitment to refugees'
Provincial immigration minister Charles Sousa said 'I would like to thank the expert roundtable for their work; It will help us develop Ontario's first immigration strategy that will support economic development in the province.'
