The program targets temporary foreign workers already in Canada and non-Canadians who have graduated from universities and colleges here – people who have proven they can integrate into society and meet labour market needs. It removes immigration obstacles for a class of individuals that Immigration Minister Jason Kenney calls “the most likely to succeed.” […] All applicants will now require 12 months of Canadian work experience gained in the three years prior to their application.
