A new Canadian Federal Government, the Conservatives, was elected and sworn in on February 6, 2006. Therefore a significant change in Canadian Immigration Policy including the selection criteria and passmark is likely to take place in the near future. Skills-related immigration requirements could be toughened perhaps back up to the 75-point pass mark which the Skilled Worker class required until 2003. As the present time there is a big backlog of skilled worker applications to be processed by Canadian Immigration. One effective way to deal with this problem is to raise the passmark to reduce the number of new applications to be received in the future by the immigration department.

from what I understand, no matter what the changes might be, any existing applicants would have a chance to complete their applications under the rules they applied under.- 67 points.
However, 67 points is not giving the Canadian employer what they want, and neither will 75. I suspect there will be a greater emphasis on work permit or Provincial Nominee applicants to fill the labour needs. Those applicants get counted in the annual quota. If you are coming with a skill Canada does not need particularly, the wait may longer. If you have skills Canada is looking for, you may get to the front of the line faster.
None of this is government policy at the moment but there is a lot of talk show and newsprint activity calling for such a policy shift.
Quite honestly, I think it is in the best interest of the PR applicant to be coming to a country that has an appropriate job for them rather than letting them take their chances. Lots of calls to move closer to the Australian system.

You should see the New Zealand system. You have to get a pass mark and meet a points threshold just to enter a "pool" of eligible candidates. Then NZ immigration skims only the top tier of pool eligibles to satisfy immigration numbers as needed.
The Canadian system is quite generous by contrast.

hello mate i found out where the article is written
http://www.immigratingtocanada.com/immigration_skilled_worker.html
but i should tell u that its a immi lawyers website,they are not responsible for immigration, they want people to apply as fast as they can to earn more money, so they write all these kind of crap on their sites, its better to keep these lawyers away.

there was huge fear mongering that went on in Jan/Feb of 06. The current Liberal government of the day wanted all immigrants to think the Conservative party was going to destroy the immigration process that people had come to expect under Liberal leadership should they be elected to form the next Canadian government. It is called vote buying.
18 months have past and nothing much has changed. The same broken system is still chugging along. I really would not fear any potential of change to the current system. Face it folks - what we are currently working with is not much fun and does not work very well. Certainly anything might be an improvement. How you all sit around wondering and waiting is really unfair and unrealistic. Getting to Canada and not being prepared to face the challenge that exists is not fair to anyone either.
So, is change coming? I am hoping, for everyone´s sake.

My impressions are that the Liberal Party has a much more pro-immigration attitude than the Conservatives. I think "fear" of that party is well-founded, when we have a Harper government more than willing to cozy up with a reactionary Bush administration. See environmentalist David Suzuki´s opinions of the current government and it´s policies. Thanks to pressure from him and the Liberals, only very recently has Harper even acknowledged the threat of climate change. So yes, there is a basis to suspect the motivations of the Conservatives.
