According to a report by the Canadian newspaper Sing Tao Daily, the Federal Court of Canada has dismissed the lawsuit against the "blanket" cancellation of investment immigration applications. The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), Chris Alexander, expressed satisfaction with this decision. He also reiterated that applicants from China and India are welcome to immigrate to Canada through programs such as the SUV.
Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Chris Alexander stated in Vancouver that in the future, applicants for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) will need to first express their interest in immigrating to Canada and upload their basic personal information to a database for selection by the immigration department and employers. If their experience and skills match the Canadian labor market and meet employer needs, and they receive a job offer, they will be invited to submit an immigration application to the immigration department, with processing completed in as little as 6 months.
Regarding the Federal Court's dismissal last month of the lawsuit involving 94 investment immigration applications that were cancelled by the "blanket" policy, Alexander expressed his pleasure and emphasized that this is a necessary reform for immigration and economic prosperity. He reiterated that applicants from China and India are welcome to immigrate to Canada through programs such as the SUV.
