Quebec Fast-tracks Grads’ Citizenship

February 3rd 2010 at 5:37pm, By Dave Guerin

Quebec is offering degree graduates from its universities a fast-track to citizenship. As long as grads pass federal health and security checks, they will get citizenship. Immigration policy is a key element of export education marketing and Quebec’s premier promoted this policy in Mumbai on Monday, obviously targeting Indian students disenchanted with Australia. The story is from the Chronicle of Higher Education, which also referred to a Canadian government initiative to improve Indian student applicant acceptance rates. Looks like our competition is hotting up too.
