Subject: Points to increase???!!!
  Hey all,
there is speculation in the forum that points might increase sometime in JUNE so i did a search and was shocked to read what i saw here . Below article is dated 11 JUNE 2006 on paragarph 6 . Does it sounds like they are doing something drastic to the system soon.?? Hope not .For those who have not sent in yr Application ,DO IT ASAP!!!!

Paragraph 6 :

Yet, at the same time, experts are worried that the flow of immigrants is about to dry up, thanks to legislation coming into effect in June that changes the rules for people hoping to enter the county. Reitz says the proposed guidelines constitute a much more stringent selection criteria. He theorizes that the government hopes to eliminate a backlog of applicants, which numbers about 660,000 people. The Association of Immigration Counsel of Canada has run dozens of scenarios to determine how many of the 660,000 would be eligible under the new guidelines. "We anticipate that only five to eight percent will be allowed in," he says. The problem, adds Reitz, is when the backlog is gone but the need for skilled workers remains.

news to me and I am Canadian and read the paper from front to back. The Federal government has gone home for the summer so I have no idea what announcement or guidlines they are referring to that was supposed to happen in June. It is the 22nd today.
