The original
purpose of this blog site was to warn employers, their foreign workers and the
community that the real intention of Ottawa’s worker immigration program is to:
- Take away the employer’s powers to
select his own trades staff, including existing legal workers
- Allow the central government , not
employers, to select Canada’s trades work force
- Create a new federal bureaucracy
that will oblige Canadian employers to hire government approved trades
workers who have never set foot in Canada
- Create a trades work force based on
ethnic preference , not competence
- Effectively , deny employers the
right to hire or retain trades workers from Italy , Portugal, Poland or
China
- Effectively , create a work force
dominated by trades workers from England , Ireland, France and South Asia
Ottawa is not hiding its intentions.
On April 8, 2014, Minister Alexander issued the below press
release confirming all of the above.
As of January 1, 2015, Ottawa fully expects that its new worker
immigration program:
”PROMISES TO BE A REAL GAME CHANGER FOR CANADIAN IMMIGRATION AND
CANADA’S ECONOMY .IT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY WE ATTRACT SKILLED IMMIGRANTS,
AND GET THEM WORKING HERE FASTER”
Minister Alexander’s makes it appear that that his new program
is open for all employers and foreign workers:
“Qualified applicants can expect faster processing times of six
months or less when invited to come to Canada in four key economic streams the
Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program Canada
Experience Class and a portion of PNP”
What Minister Alexander did not say was:
- All of the above federal programs
demand that the trades worker pass an absurdly difficult language exam
geared to Commonwealth applicants
- His government refuses to implement
the rules which allow individual employers to hire workers who have failed
the language exam but have proven their “successful economic
establishment in Canada”
- His government has abused the
“holiday work “ program as a back door to permanent residency
priority to 30,000 Irish , English and French workers
- His government has entered
into trades worker priority processing agreements with two counties …
Ireland and England
- Ottawa’s failed worker training and
immigration policies have led to Ontario employer’s ignoring the law and
the government and instead hiring approximately 100,000 Europeans
and Chinese who can get the job done but can not get the proper visa
papers because they do not share the Minister’s “ethnic values”.
Minister Alexander is clear. He wants a Canada in which
government:
- Takes little responsibility
for training Canadian trades workers
- Expects employers to pay heavy
taxes and then carry the cost of training workers
- Dictates to employers as to which
worker is acceptable and which worker is not acceptable
- Deports workers who have proven
themselves successful on the job site
- Gives permanent residency to
workers who have never set foot in Canada
- Uses language exams as an excuse to
keep out successful, tax paying employees who do not share the
Ministers preferred “ethnic values”
- Challenges the core Canadian value
of not giving official preference based on nation of origin
- Encourages a two tier immigration
system: Irish , English and some Commonwealth citizens get residency
… Europeans are allowed to work , either legally or illegally, until they
are deported
I doubt that many Canadians agree with Ottawa’s above warped
view of our country. They will have an opportunity to express themselves in
October 2015.

Offering
"Express Entry" to Qualified Economic Immigrants
Actively Recruiting Talented Newcomers For the Benefit of
Canada’s Economy
April
8, 2014 — Ottawa — Canada’s
Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander today announced that
Canada’s active recruitment model for economic immigration will officially be
called “Express Entry.” Set
to launch in January 2015, “Express
Entry” is a major step forward in the transformation of Canada’s
immigration system into one that is fast, flexible and focused on meeting
Canada’s economic and labour needs.
“Express
Entry” will allow for greater flexibility and better responsiveness
to deal with regional labour shortages, and help fill open jobs for which there
are no available Canadian workers. “Express
Entry” candidates who receive a valid job offer or nomination under
the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) will be quickly invited to apply for
permanent residency – a key distinction between “Express
Entry” and the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, which is only used
to fill temporary labour and skill shortages.
Formerly referred to as “Expression of
Interest”, “Express Entry”
will be open to skilled immigrants and allow the government to select the best
candidates who are most likely to succeed in Canada, rather than those who
happen to be first in line. It will also prevent backlogs and allow Citizenship
and Immigration Canada (CIC) to better coordinate application volume with the
annual immigration levels plan.
Qualified applicants can expect faster
processing times of six months or less when invited to come to Canada in four
key economic streams: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled
Trades Program, Canadian Experience Class, and a portion of the PNP.
With “Express
Entry,” employers will have a key role in selecting economic
immigrants and providing advice to the Government of Canada. To this end,
Alexander also announced that over the course of spring 2014, CIC will work
with provincial and territorial governments to hold a series of cross-Canada
information sessions to provide employers with more information about this
exciting new system.
Quick facts
- Canada’s Economic Action Plan 2014
will invest $14 million over two years and $4.7 million per year ongoing
to ensuring the successful implementation of Express Entry.
- With Express Entry, Canada will be
able to select the best candidates who are most likely to achieve success
in Canada, rather than the first person in line.
- The Government of Canada’s new and
improved Job Bank will help facilitate matches between Canadian employers
and Express Entry candidates.
- Having a valid job offer or
provincial/territorial nomination will guarantee Express Entry candidates
an invitation to apply for permanent residence.

“Express
Entry promises to be a game-changer for Canadian immigration
and Canada’s economy. It will revolutionize the way we attract skilled
immigrants, and get them working here faster. Our government is actively
engaged with our provincial and territorial partners, and with employers, to
make January’s launch of Express
Entry a success.”

Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Minister
