2019-10-02 – A Municipal Nominee Program and abolishing
the citizenship application fee will be cornerstones of the Liberal
Party's immigration policy if they win the upcoming October 21
general election.
The party headed by current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will
empower local communities across Canada to directly sponsor new
immigrants for Canadian permanent residence.
"This program will allow local communities, chambers of
commerce, and local labour councils to directly sponsor permanent
immigrants," states the Liberal Party platform, released this
week.
Trudeau's Liberals also plan to make the successful Atlantic
Immigration Pilot permanent, with both the AIP and the new
Municipal Nominee Program allocated a minimum of 5,000 spaces per
year.
