91新法尚未开审，超新法又要来了 zt
Amendments to Modernize the Immigration SystemOn March 14, 2008, the Government of Canada introduced legislative amendments to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to modernize the immigration system, to ensure that families are reunited faster and skilled workers arrive sooner.
One of the challenges facing our immigration system today is the large number of people waiting in the queue. This is especially a problem in the skilled worker category which makes up most of the backlog.
Under the proposed measures, Citizenship and Immigration Canada would have greater flexibility in processing new applications, especially from skilled workers.
The legislation is intended to provide greater flexibility in addressing a range of labour market needs. It will not apply to refugees and does not affect our objectives related to family reunification.
Ultimately, this will result in reduced wait times and improved service. It will also help manage the growth of the backlog of applications.
Once passed, the new measures will apply to applications received on or after February 27, 2008.
Those who applied prior to February 27, 2008, will not be subject to the new measures and will be dealt with fairly under the existing rules.
核心内容：2008-3-14日，加拿大政府推出《移民法修正案》，一旦通过，CIC将加大主动权，将‘先来先得’的审理模式改为‘择需而取’，不再逐一审理。
将影响到的申请人：2008-2-27后入表的申请人
有关修正案的Q&A中的几个要点：
1. 截至07年12月，CIC积压案上升至90万例，其中技术移民60万例。
2. CIC将积案原因主要归咎于现行移民法，CIC依法必须不顾申请人数和能接收人数，逐一审理每份申请。
3. 修正案将使CIC能致力于‘Getting the people we need'.
4. Anyone will still be able to apply, but CIC would no longer be required to process all new applications. The new provisions would allow the Department to select among the new applications and choose those that best meet Canada’s labour market needs. 这里提到的'select'的标准将成为关注焦点，暂未明确，只给了一个大框架--加拿大劳工市场最需要的人。具体选择人数和办法需由移民部长的指示'instructions'确定，于每年11月1日公布。
5. There are flexibilities that allow Canada to be more selective – to take certain candidates quickly, hold some applications, and return others. That shouldn’t deter good candidates from applying（言外之意：将deter bad candidates from applying, 大量减少入表人数）. In fact, the current system deters many well-qualified skilled workers from applying because they have to wait so long. The end result of the changes will be reduced wait times and improved service. 核心词：快取，慢拖，清退，嚇阻
6. 团聚类和难民类移民申请不受该修正案影响。 『怕怕』 『收到』 『谢谢』 『谢谢』 『谢谢』 『奖励』 几家欢喜几家愁 『大汗』 真的假的? 他们一看自己的18-24个月的承诺无法完全兑现，想要为自己找一个借口而已。只好听天由命了。
还好，之前的案子不受影响。 之前的案子不受影响么？幸亏我下手快。。。『大汗』
要等到猴年马月去啊。。。 但愿不受影响啊，等多长无所谓，反正我在哪都会好好过 『大汗』 『大汗』 *-) 以前算新程序不能算新法吧？这次算直接修改移民法了，改了，再改回来可就难办了哦！ 不是我不明白，是这世界变化太快『我晕』 :-@ 『怕怕』 不知道CIC会不会将新法生效后递表的TZ和之前的TZ分开来看待，之前递表的要应用labour market needs择优处理的原则来处理，之后的TZ递表就会面临CIC按market need筛选后大量退表的境况，要是这样的话之前的TZ中很match market Need的人就可能会被提前通知补料了--不知道这样的情况会不会出现*-) 08.02.27是新法开始适用的时间，以前的，还是按照时间顺序一个一个排队来，不能挑选。这在旧移民法和新法推荐说明里是写得很清楚的。
新法下，08.02.27以后的申请也必须要等到08.02.27前的申请处理完毕后才开始挑选过程。
加拿大是法制国家，不会也不敢乱来。 好多人疯传要提高到70-75分！应该不会吧！ 看来移民的积压案件太多了~~！！！ 关注中
