Some provincial legislators want to require welfare recipients to do farm work, but the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Associations says that its growers prefer migrants from abroad who live on their farms while in Canada rather than Canadian workers who drive from Canadian homes to work every day. www.mymigration.net http://www.mymigration.net/ca/news/AHNCA_4_2006_632800019790000000_A.aspx Sat, 15 Apr 2006 06:18:05 GMT Taking advantage of changes in immigration rules by the Canadian government, which allow students to work for two years in Canada after finishing their degrees, Windsor University of Canada has initiated efforts to attract students from Punjab. “After changes in the immigration rules, we have received a tremendous response, especially from students from Punjab.

Canadian immigration lawyers and Web site owners that promote life in Canada confirmed an increased interest in their country, according to a New York Times article in February of 2005. However, contemplating the move and actually doing it are two very different actions, and the near future will tell us how many Americans took the ultimate step. www.mymigration.net http://www.mymigration.net/ca/agents/CA_MMA_5032.htm Overseas Emigration Visas is the UK's leading immigration specialist who have registered immigration consultants waiting to arrange visas for people wishing to live and work in Canada.

But Monte Solberg said the mix of immigrants - and the means they use to enter the country - may need to change to reflect a greater emphasis on labour shortages. "I don't think it's the overall number that's the issue," Solberg said in an interview Tuesday. www.mymigration.net http://www.mymigration.net/ca/news/AHNCA_2_2006_632751168010000000_A.aspx Fri, 10 Feb 2006 03:20:01 GMT Two U.S. military deserters who were denied political asylum in Canada have asked for a court review, arguing authorities rejected them without considering the legality of the Iraq war.

The board rejected their refugee claims last year. www.mymigration.net http://www.mymigration.net/ca/news/AHNCA_2_2006_632748037190000000_A.aspx Wed, 08 Feb 2006 20:30:30 GMT The conservative Canadian government to be sworn in Monday will take the reins of a country that is economically flush, newly confident and ready to reap the benefits of one of the largest supplies of oil in the world.

Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin is promising to phase out a hated immigration landing fee he imposed in 1995, his latest effort to gather support for his party among new Canadians. Martin now calls the $975 fee a barrier to immigrants entering Canada, particularly immigrant families. In his 1995 budget, Martin imposed the fee to help pay for settlement services for newcomers, although opponents condemned it as a simple money grab. www.mymigration.net
