新的联邦熟练技术工人类移民今天开始接受申请

加拿大公民及移民部（CIC）部长肯尼今天（2013年1月2日）宣布，新的联邦熟练技术工人类移民开始接受申请。

“新的熟练技术工人类移民将减轻国家所面临的严重短缺的劳工市场，并刺激经济增长，”肯尼部长说，“这些期待已久的变化是我们正致力建立的快速灵活的、能满足加拿大经济要求的移民体系的一部分。在全国各地的许多行业，加拿大的雇主一直在寻找能雇佣到胜任工作的熟练技术工人的途径。我们了解到他们的需求，于是建立了这个新类别的技术移民。”

在这个项目开始的第一年，移民部将在指定的行业最多接受3000份申请。在 3000名申请人中，将有26个职业需求没有限制，而另外17个职业将是每一种职业接受100个申请。这些申请预计在12个月内处理完毕。

该类别的申请人必须达到基本的英语或法语水平，即口头表达和听力理解达到加拿大语言基准测试（CLB）的5级水平，而阅读和写作则要达到4级。CLB 4级是一种基本技能水平，而5级则能够更有效地满足日常生活的需求。

该类别申请人的其他要求还包括以下内容：有加拿大的雇主工作证明或某个省颁发的有效证书；在过去的五年内有至少两年的同行业工作经验；能够满足国家职业分类（NOC）对该工种的要求。
