OTTAWA, MONTREAL - With regard to the Olympics in the city and a construction boom mass, British Columbia, about one million job vacancies in the next five years.

But in the same period, about 650000 students graduating from high schools across the province, said Philip Hochstein, the company’s president and Independent Contractors Association of British Columbia.

And it takes about five years to process applications for immigrants expected to fill that void.

“We do not need five years from now, we need at this moment,” said Hochstein.

Immigration and lawyers can, with an overwhelming majority against the proposed amendments to the laws on immigration to Canada, but Canadian companies are saying, updates are required, and this quickly.

“I take to heart the fact that politicians have recognized that the system [immigration] is completely broken,” said Hochstein. “And with the old ideas, in order to solve this problem is not work any more. We need a radical new approach.

Under a new immigration law of Canada, the Minister would have the power to issue instructions to immigration officers on the nature of immigration and the number of applications to be processed. We do not know what these instructions may contain, although Citizenship and Immigration Canada would no longer be necessary for all applications.

The government has said that the changes are aimed more skilled immigrants to Canada soon. Immigration lawyers and widely condemned, the proposed changes and said that they give to the minister of electricity and large, a system fundamentally unfair.

But Mr. Hochstein said, the government is moving in the right direction, focusing on the economic needs of Canada. “We need strong, young, ready, workers coming, as human beings, the building of this country,” he said.

During the past year, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, a report on immigration and the labour shortage in Canada, for a shorter wait times and the immigration of more importance to a skilled workforce.

Dan Kelly, the association of “Senior Vice-President of legislation, said his organization does not have a position for or against the amendments proposed by the Harper government. However, he said serious changes are needed to correct the current system. “Many applications are trapped in a massive backlog,” said Kelly. “Many of the latest applications to connect behind huge, gigantic flood.”

Citizenship and Immigration Canada estimates a backlog of more than 600000 in the “skilled” category.

However, it is difficult to know how long it will take before the changes made in a lump late - when implemented, the new law for applications submitted after February 27, 2008.

Still, as another in a long series of questions that perhaps in a federal election, the proposed amendment remains a hot political topic.

In Montreal yesterday, Liberal leader Stephane Dion, said the growth of the workforce is dependent on Canadian immigration and Tory project is unpleasant. “It is unacceptable, as regards the procedure unacceptable, and even more so with regard to the content,” he said. “We will use all available means to ensure that reasonable studied at the [House of Commons] immigration.”
