Since February 24, 2002, some changes to Immigration Rules were announced. In this regard, the following comments were sent to us on March 10, 2002 by Mr. Chauhan at our request.

Canadian Immigration Rules for Transition from old point system to the new one. 

The old immigration rules which emphasized the job skills will be changed to a point system where the primary criteria for admission to Canada will be based on university education and English or French language skills. Those who applied prior to 17th December, 2001, will continue to be assessed under the old system until 1st January, 2003 and the pass mark will remain at 70 under the old system. The point system will come into effect on the 28th June 2002. Those who apply after 17th December,2001, will be assessed under the new system and the pass mark for new applicants will be determined in the next few months.

Jay Chauhan is a immigration and business lawyer and has practised for 30 years in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada.
