CIC Minister discussing immigration priorities with stakeholders across Canada

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Minister Diane Finley has begun her cross-Canada tour through which CIC will develop the framework for the new amendments to Canadian legislation.  By way of meetings and video conferences, provincial and territorial governments, as well as representatives from business, labour, and academic and non-government organizations will be consulted.  The goal is to identify critical occupational shortages, the role of immigration in responding to them, and how to deal with any barriers to foreign credential accreditation for these occupations.
