An immigration task force promised by the Premier to look at ways to streamline the immigration of skilled workers has begun.
Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap says they met with business,community, and organization leaders in Prince George to hear suggestions.
He says they will move to Ft. St. John next as they look at ways to address a shortfall of skilled labour in BC, “Another area where we have heard stories about a real shortage of skilled labour and a great need for more people to help fill the jobs in Fort St. John and immigration will be one way that will help and we have a schedule that will keep us busy over the next month and a half.”
The Premier says skilled immigrant workers are key to filling over one million job openings in the next decade.
