The new law puts greater emphasis on admitting immigrants who have the skills [/FONT][FONT=宋体]Canada[/FONT][FONT=宋体] needs. The government will establish processing priorities following consultations with the provinces and stakeholders.[/FONT][FONT=宋体]修改法案包含在《2008年预算执行法》（C-50法案）中，《2008年预算执行法》于今天早上获得参议院通过。新法更加强调吸收具有加拿大所需要的技术的移民。政府将在与各省及股东协商后，建立优先审理程序。The law will also stop the backlog from growing. Under the old system, [/FONT][FONT=宋体]Canada[/FONT][FONT=宋体] was required to process every application through to a final decision. This obligation is now removed. The changes apply only to applications received on or after [/FONT][FONT=宋体]February 27, 2008[/FONT][FONT=宋体], the day after the federal budget was introduced.[/FONT][FONT=宋体] [/FONT][FONT=宋体]新法也会使积案不再增长。旧体制下，每一个移民申请都要求进行到最后决定为止，这个义务现在取消了。新法只适用于2008年2月27日――联邦预算执行之日――及以后收到的申请。[/FONT][FONT=宋体]There are now 925,000 people waiting up to six years for a decision on their application. Without the bill, the backlog was projected to grow to 1.5 million by 2012, with corresponding wait times of 10 years. The changes bring Canada in line with the practices of countries such as Australia and New Zealand, who are able to welcome skilled immigrants much faster, often in as little as six months.[/FONT][FONT=宋体]目前有925000人在等待申请结果，有的长达6年。如果不实行新法案，那么到2012年积案将有望达到150万、等待期将长达10年。新法使加拿大的移民程序与澳洲、新西兰等国的惯例一致，而澳洲、新西兰的技术移民程序则快得多，经常快达6个月。[/FONT][FONT=宋体]“Our next step is to launch consultations with provinces, territories and other experts to ensure we accurately define the priorities for immigration,” said Minister Finley. “Once we’ve determined Canada’s immigration needs, we can develop a set of instructions to guide the processing decisions of immigration officers, including whether applications are prioritized, retained or returned with a refund.”[/FONT][FONT=宋体]“我们下一步会与各省、地区及其它专家进行协商，以确保我们移民优先类别制定的准确性。”范茵莉说。“一旦我们制定了加拿大的移民需求，我们将开发一套指令，以对移民官的审理决定进行指导，包括是否对案子优先处理、暂时搁置或退案退费。[/FONT][FONT=宋体]In addition to being subject to consultations, the instructions will comply with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to protect against discrimination. They will also support the objectives of IRPA, ensuring a balance between the economic, family reunification and refugee protection goals of Canada’s immigration system. Finally, the instructions will complement the government’s annual levels plan, which establishes clear target ranges for the number of permanent residents accepted in each category: economic, family class and protected persons.[/FONT][FONT=宋体] [/FONT][FONT=宋体]指令除在协商的前提下制定外，也将按照《加拿大人权与自由宪章》的规定防止歧视。指令也将支持《移民与难民保护法》的目标，确保加拿大移民体系中经济类、团聚类、难民保护类移民目标计划的平衡。最后，指令将对政府的年度移民计划进行补充。年度移民制定了经济、团聚及难民每类移民的目标人数。[/FONT][FONT=宋体]“We will continue to uphold our commitments to family reunification and refugee protection,” underlined Minister Finley.[/FONT][FONT=宋体]范茵莉强调说，“我们将继续遵守对团聚移民、难民保护所作的承诺。”[/FONT][FONT=宋体]Research shows that the demand for qualified workers in [/FONT][FONT=宋体]Canada[/FONT][FONT=宋体] is growing. By 2012, immigration is projected to account for all labour force growth in [/FONT][FONT=宋体]Canada[/FONT][FONT=宋体]. Two-thirds of the available jobs will require post-secondary education. Jobs that require a university-level education are the fastest growing types of jobs.[/FONT][FONT=宋体]研究表明加拿大对合格技术工人的需求正在增长。预计到2012年，移民将成为所有增加的劳动力。三分之二的空缺职位将需要中专技校以上的学历。要求具有大学学历的职位目前是增长最快的职位类型。[/FONT]
