IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ECONOMIC IMMIGRANTS
Under the proposed regulations of the new Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (expected to be implemented June 28, 2002), for Skilled Workers there will be an important distinction between applications received before and after December 17, 2001. Specifically:
Independent and Assisted Relative immigrants who are interviewed (or have had their interview waived) before implementation of the new Act will continue to be assessed against present regulations.
Independent and Assisted Relative immigrants who apply on or after December 17, 2001 and who have not been interviewed (or have not had their interview waived) before implementation of the new Act will be assessed against the new Skilled Worker regulations and a pass mark of 80.
Independent and Assisted Relative immigrants who applied before December 17, 2001 and who have not been interviewed (or have not had their interview waived) before implementation of the new Act will also be assessed against the new Skilled Worker regulations, but require a lower pass mark of 75.
