Canadian immigration
news: http://immigration.newconsul.com/en/news.htm The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada announced an
adjustment to the pass mark for federal skilled worker applicants. All new
skilled worker applicants and those currently in the system who have not yet
received a selection decision, will be assessed with a less pass mark than the
actual. September 19, 2003 The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada, today announced an important decision and recommendation pertaining to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). The Minister announced an adjustment to the pass mark for federal skilled worker applicants. Also, today he proposed new measures for assessing certain economic class applicants who applied under the former Immigration Act but were affected by transitional measures following implementation of IRPA on June 28, 2002.
The Minister's move to adjust the pass mark is a response to Canada's need for skilled workers. Effective immediately, all new skilled worker applicants and those currently in the system who have not yet received a selection decision, will be assessed with a less pass mark than the actual. Additionally, the Minister is proposing to amend the IRP transition regulations to allow for all skilled worker and business immigration applicants who applied before January 01, 2002 to be assessed under the selection criteria of the former Immigration Act. Applicants who do not qualify under the former Act would then be assessed under the current IRPA.
