在加拿大

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/speeches/2012/2012-03-01.asp 不得不说，这个稿子写的真不错，现在移民系统存在的问题/如何改变， 核心就是canada利益等等，基本上现在的问题都有涉及，论点/数据都很明晰。 我们关心的问题就是下面这段，我理解最终一个能快速处理的实时移民处理系统是康泥的任内目标。在实现这个目标之前，积案必须被处理完。但没有给时间表。 Finally, we need to be more aggressive in reducing the huge backlogs we inherited, which still have wait times of seven years or longer. It’s completely absurd to tell people “apply now, but put your life on hold for a few years before we’ll even let you know whether you qualify, and then, after you qualify, wait several more years before thinking about actually coming to Canada.” That doesn’t work for newcomers and it certainly doesn’t work for Canada. We must ensure that we are able to get the skilled workers that employers need, when they need them. While we have made some progress in reducing the backlog of federal skilled workers, the fact is that a large chunk of that backlog pre-dates the recent improvements to the federal skilled worker program that I have mentioned. （把当前的积案仍然很多的事实，推给前任。） So we are left with many applicants who initially applied under older criteria, which were not as responsive to Canada’s changing economic needs. Until the backlog is completely gone, we can’t begin to get to where our economic immigration system needs to be, and we will not have a “real time” immigration system.（只能说这是目标，但没有具deadline.） 举了个例子说明以前的移民系统有多糟糕：Looming over all of these issues was the problem of immense backlogs clogging up the entire immigration and refugee systems. Not only were our selection criteria not ensuring the best outcomes for our society and our economy, we were also allowing wait times to bring the system to a slow crawl.Imagine this. On February 1, 2001 a Canadian visa officer would go to work in Damascus. He would see in front of him an application from someone claiming to be a 45 year-old Professor with 15 years experience teaching Persian history. The officer would look at a rigid point grid and do a rote calculation, giving this person points for age, job experience, and education, regardless of whether the candidate’s specific job experience and education matched a labour market shortage in Canada. Seven years later, after waiting in the queue, this person would arrive in Toronto, usually without a job. Seven years later, a person without in-demand skills arrives in Canada. Is it any surprise that such an applicant would not be able to find a job or integrate easily?Any impartial observer of the immigration system we had for the last decade would come to the same conclusion: It was an unacceptable state of affairs. 新政里会有一个变化，可能一直被大家忽略：While the FSW program has been the flagship program for economic immigration to Canada for decades, and will continue to be an important source of economic immigration after the changes we will unveil later this year, it is no longer the only, or even the dominant, stream.
