CANADA: ONTARIO PROPOSES NOMINEE PROGRAM

The Province of Ontario has announced its intention to start a pilot project for a new Provincial Nominee Program. If it moves forward, the Province will designate occupations targeted as "high priority" for accepting potential immigrants. However, it may be preferable for the Federal government to fix the immigration system, rather than continue to allow the provinces to bring immigrants who do not necessarily meet business needs.
