Please click the tinig Pinoy link and listen to the interview with Canada Immigration Min. Jason Kenney tinigpinoy.net/index.php/archives QUESTION TO CANADA IMMIGRATION MINISTER JASON KENNY WHAT POLICIES OR OTHER ACTIONS BY YOUR GOVERNMENT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCREASE OF THE FILIPINO IMMIGRANT? “I think the single largest factor that has led to immigration from Philippines doubling in the past five years. The Philippines becoming the TOP SOURCE COUNTRY FOR IMMIGRATION TO CANADA has been the HUGE expansion of the Prov. Nominee Program – this is where the Federal Government has given the power to Provinces to SELECT IMMIGRANT from abroad typically working with businesses who are offering these people employment. I think what Employers have increasingly found is that FILIPINOS ARE INCREDIBLY RELIABLE, HARD WORKING, WELL EDUCATED, ENGLISH-SPEAKING IMMIGRANT WHO RAISED PRODUCTIVITY AND PROVIDED REALLY GOOD POSITIVE ATTITUDE TO WORK. That’s what I kept hearing from the employers. EMPLOYERS are generally VERY VERY HAPPY with their experience of having a Filipinos as immigrants. That’s why we have seen a HUGE INCREASE OF THE NUMBER OF FILIPINO IMMIGRANTS COMING through the Provincial Nominee Programme particularly to Western Canada. So I expect that WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THE PHILIPPINES IN THE FUTURE AS CANADA’S NO. 1 SOURCE COUNTRY OF IMMIGRATION. I think this is good news to the Filipino Immigrants and also a good news for Canada as well.” Proudly said by Canada Immigration Minister Jason Kenny
