SKILLED WORKERS

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act lists several objectives with respect to foreign nationals. Among those related to the skilled worker program are:

to permit Canada to pursue the maximum social, cultural and economic benefits of immigration;
to support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy, in which the benefits of immigration are shared across all regions of Canada;
to support, by means of consistent standards and prompt processing, the attainment of immigration goals established by the Government of Canada in consultation with the provinces;
to enrich and strengthen the cultural and social fabric of Canadian society, while respecting the federal, bilingual and multicultural character of Canada.
