Canada has an open door for immigration because immigration helps build a stronger Canada. Immigrants add to the vibrancy and cultural diversity of this unique nation and help to open stronger ties with other countries around the world.
加拿大是一个开放移民的国家，开放的移民政策使这个国家更加繁荣富强。来自世界各地的移民不仅给加拿大带来了勃勃生机和斑斓的文化，而且使得加拿大和外部世界的联系变得更加巩固而紧密。
The Canadian Government recognizes that immigrants have been the life-blood of this young country. For that reason, it opens its doors to those people who are properly qualified to benefit Canada. Economically, Canada is among the wealthiest countries in the world. It must compete economically with other wealthy nations. In order to compete, Canada needs the best. That is why Canada opens its doors to skilled workers. Those people who have good education, and the skills Canada requires, can immigrate to Canada. Without these skilled people, Canada would not be able to compete with other rich countries like America, Japan, Germany and France.
加拿大政府意识到，吸纳大量的新移民是这个年轻的国家活力的源泉。基于这个认识，加拿大一直向那些能够对加拿大的发展作出贡献的合格者发出邀请，欢迎他们移民。加拿大是世界上经济最发达和最富有的国家之一。她必须和另外一些西方发达国家在经济上展开竞争。而竞争需要优秀的人才。因此，加拿大特别需要大量的独立技术移民。你只要拥有良好教育，合适的工作技能，就可以作为独立移民定居加拿大，成为加拿大永久居民。如果不是这些源源来到的新移民，加拿大就无法和美国、日本、德国、法国这样的先进工业国家保持强有力的竞争。
The Canadian Federal Government has played a central role in administrating immigration matters since the birth of Canada as a nation. Immigration Laws, Regulations, Policies and Procedures change frequently. Immigration Laws and Regulations are regularly being revised to reflect the purpose of various departments in the Government. For example, there was a major change in the Regulations on May 1st 1997 which resulted in the disqualification of a large segment of potential applicants whose skills the Government felt no longer benefited Canada.
自建国一百多年来，加拿大联邦政府在移民事务上一直掌握着立法和制定政策的大权。移民法，移民规定，移民政策，以及移民处理程序经常处于变化之中。这些变化和调整，反映了政府各部门对于移民与加拿大社会的关系的看法和结论。例如，1997年5月1日实行的新政策，使得一大批本来合格的人，失去了移民资格。因为政府认为这些被取消移民资格的职业，再也不为加拿大社会所需要，因此而被从移民资格清单上取消。
Policies and Procedures are modified on a weekly basis. Perhaps the most frequent changes of Policies and Procedures I have been witnessing over the past year relate to the processing of applicants from Mainland China. As Canadian officials gain more experience in dealing with the new tide of applications from China, they have been regularly changing their Processing Policies to deal with the particular situations for Chinese applications.[page]
移民当局的政策和程序几乎每周都在变化调整。过去一年内，就我所目睹的最大的变化也许来自对中国大陆申请者的规定。加拿大移民官员正在获得越来越多的关于中国大陆申请人的知识。根据这些知识和了解，移民官们也在不停地调整他们的对策，以应付汹涌而至的中国独立移民申请浪潮，并针对中国大陆移民的许多特定情况，制订相应的处理政策。
As Canadian immigration specialists, we are prepared for further changes to Laws, Regulations, Policies, and Procedures. One way that the Regulations are expected to change applies to the Selection Criteria which determines who qualifies and who does not. We are here to help you to evaluate your qualification, to submit your application according to the current law, and to monitor the new rules and future rules as to how they will affect your chance to immigration to Canada. We will ensure that the rules work for you, and not against you, thereby enabling your application to have the best chance possible for success.
作为加拿大移民专家，我们对这些变化以及变化的方向成竹在胸。在不久的将来，一个可能的变化将是在独立移民的选择标准上，这个选择标准决定什么样的人合格或不合格。我们将在这里为你的移民资格进行评估，根据加拿大移民法的动向，替你包装并送交移民申请，并注视着各种可能出现的新政策，并及时判断这些新政策对你的申请的影响。我们将尽一切努力，确保这些规定成为你成功移民的保障，不是障碍，从而保证你的申请一帆风顺获得通 过。
Canada was built through immigration. It continues to advance through immigration. The rules are generally very fair to ensure that only the most qualified immigrate to Canada. New immigrants arriving at the airports in Vancouver and Toronto are injecting new blood into this young country everyday and in return, Canada offers them a good personal life and future second to none. I will be glad to help turn you into one of those thousands of individuals who become new Canadians every year.
加拿大是一个移民国家。她的进步与发展有赖于开放的移民政策。加拿大公平合理的移民法，确保获得加拿大移民资格的人是加拿大最需要和最合格的人才。每天每日，数以千计新移民抵达温哥华或多伦多这两大国际机场，给加拿大的社会肌体输入新鲜血液。作为回报，加拿大许诺给他们的是无与伦比的美好生活和幸福前景。作为加拿大的移民专家，我将乐于协助你办理加拿大移民，使你象其他每年几十万人一样，让你移民加拿大的梦想成为现实。
