Minister Kenney launches national consultations on immigration levels and mix

Calgary, July 12, 2011 — Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney has launched a series of cross-country consultations on immigration issues, beginning today in Calgary.

The Minister is meeting with stakeholders and the public to discuss the important issue of immigration levels and mix. Following the Calgary session today, the Minister will meet with stakeholders in Vancouver on July 18, Toronto on July 20 and Montreal on July 22. Online consultations will take place later this summer and will be open to the public.

The purpose of the consultations is to seek feedback on immigration levels, including the appropriate level of immigration for Canada, and the most suitable mix between economic, family class and protected persons. Discussions on system management to provide improved services, such as reasonable processing times, and addressing issues such as fraud, will also be included.

In planning for the total number of people to admit as permanent residents, CIC not only balances immigration objectives but also considers several other factors, including broader government commitments, input from provinces and territories, and current and future economic conditions. The Department must also consider its operational ability to process applications in a timely manner, as well as the capacity of communities to welcome newcomers.

In addition to presenting an opportunity to gather input from stakeholders and the public on key questions facing CIC, the consultations also allow the Department to share with stakeholders and the public some of the considerations and difficult choices involved in managing a global immigration system.

The consultations present an important opportunity to generate greater understanding of the trade-offs involved in setting immigration levels. There are competing visions and diverging goals for the future of the immigration program, and there is no single right answer on what the focus should be. Engaging stakeholders and the broader public in that conversation is a key part of developing a plan that will work for Canada going forward.

Invited stakeholders represent a variety of perspectives, including those of employers, labour, academia, learning institutions, professional organizations, business organizations, regulatory bodies, municipalities, settlement provider organizations and ethnocultural organizations.

A report on the consultations will be available on the CIC website once stakeholder and public consultations have been completed.

More information about the online consultations will be available on the CIC website in the coming weeks. Interested participants may sign up online at www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/consultations/index.asp.

Hi Pinay,

Yes, Its refundable if your application got rejected at CIO . But if your file got rejected after getting 2nd AOR at VO level then its not refundable .

If your file got rejected at CIO in first phase then i am sure it was not encashed by CIO.

the draft will be sent through mail at your mailing address provided by u in the application.
to en-cash it, u have to give it to your bank with a/c no. and name. (the name of the a/c. and draft has to be same).

it will take maximum 21 working days. if it's SCB, then it will take about 10 days!! [my experience]

hope it helps.

thanks for response,can you also tell me in how many days you got your draft back, since its quite long time that has been elapsed since my my bhabhi's application's rejction. we are afraid may be the postal service might have caused some kind of problem.as Pakistani postal service is very poor.

good day mayank, i am very much happy to found this forum which is very helpful especially to those who don't have nothing to turn to.

can you give me some advice regarding my application? my application was sent by my agency last 03-19-2011 and the mode of payment was credit card and the card we use is the credit card of the agency. but until this time i did not received any reply about my application and i don't know how to make follow up on it. i called my agency and they said that we just have to wait for the reply and i ask them if the payment is credited already. and they said that it was not yet credited. they just give me the copy on the tracking number of the fedex and the payment form copy.

please do give me some advice regarding my application because the immigration already open the pharmacist but until 500 applicants only. i was hoping that i was included in the 2010 quota but if i was not i wanted to be included this 2011. thank you and hoping for your advice..

 

[monice]

mayank, thank you so much for the immediate responce.. yes it was unfair to my part because they didn't inform me about the mode of payment.. but i would like to ask if i was able to get in cap last march 2011.. im just new to this thread and please do help me.. i am going to call my agency tomorrow about when will my application reach cio after sending it by fedex..

Godbless you and more power to this forum
