Chinese cool to Canada's new immigration rules  

加拿大技术移民受理申请 新规定影响大华人反应冷

据加拿大《世界日报》报道，加拿大联邦移民部4日开始正式受理技术移民申请，按照新规定，只有24种职业人才符合申请要求，且需要满足加拿大语言基准(Canadian Language Benchmark)7级及海外学历必须经过指定机构认证等要求，当地移民业者认为，华人对新政策反应较淡，因为新规定对华人较不利，比如海外学历认证的要求，由于两国教育体系差异较大，认证时间可能被拖太久，导致移民申请不能如愿按时递交。

(ECNS) -- Chinese citizens remained cool toward new immigration rules unfavorable to Chinese applicants, according to a report by the Canada branch of World Journal.

Canada's immigration department began processing applications for foreign skilled workers last Sunday, and the new rules include a requirement for foreign workers to submit an educational assessment, including any degrees or diplomas.

The CEO of a Canadian enterprise that provides investment and immigration services, surnamed Jiang, said the new rules aroused negative feedback from Chinese people living in Canada, unlike previous reforms. Many applicants have to resubmit materials, which may take more time due to complex Chinese degrees or diplomas, Jiang said.

Applications will be rejected if all the required documents are not provided, Jiang said, delaying some applicants' plans.

Another enterprise's vice chairman, Wu Bing, said most of those who have submitted applications had studied and obtained diplomas in Canada.

A skilled occupation list of 24 categories issued by the Canadian government also disqualified some who intended to apply, Jiang said.
