There are layers of redundancy presently built into the selection system. Employers have to file virtually identical information at a minimum of two government departments. Why? A common platform on intake and information sharing would resolve that.
It seems to be common sense, but our information technology systems are silo-designed. There's one for an LMO, one for a CIC purpose, with identical information in each. So you're doubling up the time and effort, which is a burden to the Canadian economy and to those businesses. If HRSDC and CIC were allowed to formally, officially, strategically share client information, that would go a long way. Just as it's the same tax dollar, it's the same client.
