Canadian Immigration Lawyer Launches Online Tool to Aid in the Immigration Assessment Process

Toronto, Ontario – June 17, 2009 - Although economists are expecting Canada's economic growth to cool to a more modest 3.6% in the second half of 2010, one Canadian Immigration Lawyer sees immigration trends in Canada remaining strong, and has launched an online immigration assessment tool to aide in the qualification process.

"Many OECD countries have seen marked declines in rates of immigration since the recession of 2008. But due to Canada's strong economy and recent government amendments improving the law and speeding up immigration processing times, we expect immigration trends in Canada to remain firm," says Matthew Jeffery, a Toronto based Canadian immigration lawyer.

Canadian officials from both the Federal and Provincial governments have recently met and agreed to further improve Canada's immigration system. "If Canada wants to succeed in the global economy, our country must be able to attract and retain immigrants with the skills it needs today while preparing us to face the challenges of the future," commented Jason Kenney, the federal Minister for Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism. "After today's discussion, I am confident that our governments' combined efforts will help position Canada as a destination of choice for the world's best and brightest, while continuing to maintain our humanitarian tradition."

Due to the increased rates of immigration to Canada in recent years, Mr. Jeffery has launched an online assessment tool on his website which allows prospective immigrants to find out if they qualify for one of Canada's many classes of immigration. "While it's true that Canada has a relaxed immigration policy, all immigrants must meet the eligibility requirements before we can help them. Now this process is streamlined right through our website," says Jeffery.

The website of Matthew Jeffery, Canadian Immigration Lawyer (www.matthewjeffery.com), contains detailed information regarding the different classes of immigration available in Canada. Website visitors can now complete the eligibility process online for the following classes of immigration in Canada: family sponsorship, skilled worker / self-employed, and investor / entrepreneur.
