they did not discuss the roll out process of these new proposals. It almost sounded like they were effective immediately. There is not vote in parliament required. check the CIC website... there might be better clarification.

Guys, you don?t have to use pass from parliament in order to have legislative effect. It?s regulation from CIC.

I didn´t read anything about increasing staff nor about shortening waiting times of PR applications.
The only thing Volpe, in wake of an eventual election, announced was a vague promise that granting citizenship shouldn´t take longer than 12 monhs and granny´s are can get in at a faster pace .
Big deal .

quote from National post (in reply to: The Changes In Immigration ....)
Mr. Volpe, the political minister for Ontario, is expected to make a series of immigration announcements in the coming weeks, including one designed to make it easier for both immigrants and Canadians trained abroad to have their credentials recognized in Canada.
In Edmonton on Saturday, Mr. Volpe vowed to accelerate admissions of foreign workers into Canada. About 110,000 wage earners will be rapidly let into the country, cutting a backlog of immigration cases by 25%, he predicted in an interview.
"We have to turn ourselves from a risk-management system into a recruitment system. We have to rethink how we do business and attract people," Mr. Volpe said. "It?s a function of a booming economy. You just need people."
Virtually every occupational group appears to be headed toward shortages to some degree, the minister indicated. He cited appeals to him by the long-distance trucking industry for help to overcome a looming shortage of 30,000 drivers.
Labour shortages are not caused by Canadians being unable to work or refusing to take jobs, Mr. Volpe said. He pointed out Canada has the highest labour force "participation rate" in the world, with more than 70% of the working-age population holding down jobs. The average is 63% for member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Ottawa also wants to work with cities to identify their labour needs and recruiting immigrants who match local requirements, Mr. Volpe said.
Mr. Heckbert denied the rush to make the announcements has anything to do with a possible spring election. "No," he said. "This is the right thing to do for Canadians."
