Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm not the expert on job bank or the plans, but my understanding of the way job bank currently works, and will work, is that in order for you, as an employer, to access job bank, you have to register and there are certain requirements. You don't register unless you've got a job

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We're developing plans to try to make it sound exciting and so on. One of the first things we're actually working on is finding a new name, because apparently EOI is not compelling enough. That's part of our marketing, but yes, there will be a communications approach to ensure th

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Again, like all decisions that we make, there are various opportunities or rights of appeal, and those are not changed by the introduction of EOI.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  There again it doesn't really change anything. Quebec is aware of our intentions to move ahead with EOI. It has selection authorities.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We are working with the ESDC on the job bank as one potential platform for employers and others to access EOI candidates. To be consistent, whatever decisions are about who may access the job bank will inform who can access EOI candidates through the job bank. In addition, we ar

Citizenship and Immigration committee  As I noted in my opening remarks, there were references to expression of interest in both the most recent economic action plan as well as the economic action plan in 2012.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  This is something that we're working on with ESDC, Employment and Social Development Canada, again, coming to the point that EOI does not in itself change the current requirements related to the programs that will be run through EOI. The example I talked about is with the federa

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes. Once any individual arrives in Canada as a permanent resident, they have full mobility rights. They can work wherever they please, so—
