Occupation List Announced for Fast Track Process

Aspirants who hold the skills Canada needs will now find their application for immigration fast-tracked.

Bill C-50, the so-called Budget Implementation Act, 2008, passed both the Canadian House of Commons and the Senate. The bill contains provisions which will allow immigration authorities to speed up the application process for skilled immigrants with shortage skills.

However, the new changes only apply to applications received on or after 27 February 2008. There are currently 925,000 people waiting for a decision on their immigration applications, with some waiting up to six years. Without the new bill, the backlog was expected to grow to 1.5 million by 2012.

CIC has now announced 38 Occupations list for fast track process.
