News Release – Minister Kenney Announces Proposed Plan to Expedite Skilled Workers' Transition from Temporary to Permanent Residence
Winnipeg, April 16, 2012 — To meet Canada’s labour market needs more quickly, highly-skilled temporary foreign workers could soon transition to permanent residence faster than before, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.
"“Thousands of highly-skilled foreign nationals are working successfully in Canada on a temporary basis,”" said Minister Kenney. "“Expediting their transition to permanent residence would help Canada retain bright and talented people who already have Canadian work experience and the ability to communicate in English or French. In many cases, they already have a job lined up. Such newcomers are set for success.”"
To make Canada’s immigration system more flexible and even more responsive to our labour market needs, Citizenship and Immigration Canada intends to reduce the work experience requirement for eligible temporary foreign workers applying to stay permanently. One major benefit of the change would be to make it easier for skilled tradespersons working in Canada to transition to permanent residence as their work is often project-based and can be seasonal.
Currently, to be eligible to apply, applicants under the temporary foreign worker stream of the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) must have acquired 24 months of full-time work experience within the last 36 months. Under the proposed regulatory changes, the requirement would be reduced to 12 months of experience.
The announcement is the latest in a series Minister Kenney has made about transforming Canada’s economic immigration program into a fast and flexible system focused on jobs, growth, and prosperity.
Launched in 2008, the CEC offers a pathway to permanent residence – and eventually Canadian citizenship – for international students and temporary foreign workers with highly-skilled Canadian work experience. The CEC aims to support the economic success of immigrants by selecting those who are most likely to succeed in Canada’s labour market.
In 2011, a record number of people were admitted to Canada under the CEC. According to preliminary admissions data, 6,022 immigrants were welcomed under the CEC last year, a significant increase in admissions of more than 50 % from 2010. In 2012, 7,000 permanent residents are expected to be admitted through the CEC – more than ever before.
"“The CEC is a key part of our plan for the future of immigration in Canada, and so it is gratifying to see the dramatic growth in the program since its inception,”" said Minister Kenney.
Further details about the proposed changes to the Canadian Experience Class will be announced later in 2012.

移民部长康尼(Jason Kenney)16日宣布，政府将放宽持临时工作签证的外籍技术人才申请移民的门槛，持临时工作签证的外籍技术人才，未来只须在境内工作一年即可透过加拿大经验类别(Canadian Experience)申请移民，较过去缩短一年，预计今年实施。他强调此举可让加拿大留住这些已有本地工作经验又具备官方语言能力的专才，补充劳动市场需求。康尼强调，数以千计的外籍高技术人才持临时工作签证在加拿大境内成功就业，让他们可快速转换为永久居民有助本国留住这些具本地工作经验又有官方语言能力的专才，因为这类新移民一定会成功。
康尼指出，此举是为了让加拿大移民系统更有弹性，更能及时反应劳动市场需求。未来一些已在境内工作的高技术层次技工(skilled tradepersons)，特别是那些参与专案或季节性工作者，都可快速转换为移民。
依现行规定，临时劳工要转换为移民，必须在过去叁年于加拿大境内全职工作两年，才能申请加拿大经验移民，未来只需一年，时间大幅缩短一半。新措施预计今年内开始实施。
移民部近年不断增加海外临时劳工数量，2010年发出17万9192张工作签证，去年则为19万769张，预估今年将突破20万张，目前共有超过50万名外籍人士持临时工作签证在加国境内工作。
但日前传出某些持两年临时工作签证的外籍人士在工作一年后申请失业保险金(EI)，形同慷纳税人之慨。对此康尼表示相当愤慨，强调引进海外临时劳工的主要目的是填补本国劳动市场的短期需求，而非让他们领EI，他会就此事与联邦人力资源部研究防堵。
联邦于2008年推出加拿大经验移民，提供国际学生及具有加国工作经验的海外技术专才取得永久居民身分机会。2011年共6022人获准，较2010年大幅成长50%，预估今年会有7000人透过该类别取得移民身分，创下空前纪录。
