Topic of the Week: The Canadian Immigration System

After reading the news story about the issues with the Provincial Nominee program in PEI, I decided that the Topic of the Week for August 13-20 will be:

The Canadian Immigration System.

I hope to touch on some of the following:

- What is the “point system”? How does it work?

- Who are Provincial Nominees? How does one become a provincial nominee?

- How do you gain Permanent Residence (PR)? What does PR mean/what privileges, rights and responsibilities does PR entail?

- How do you become a Canadian citizen? What are the citizenship requirements?

- Current Issues with the Canadian Immigration System
