DEPARTMENT OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION

IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE PROTECTION ACT

Updated Ministerial Instructions

Notice is hereby given, under subsection 87.3(6) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has established the following Ministerial Instructions that, in the opinion of the Minister, will best support the attainment of the immigration goals established by the Government of Canada.

Overview

Authority for Ministerial Instructions is derived from section 87.3 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). Instructions are directed to officers and their delegates who are charged with handling and/or reviewing applications for permanent or temporary visas to enter Canada.

The Instructions are consistent with the IRPA objectives as laid out in section 3 and are compliant with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The Instructions do not apply to refugees or protected persons or persons making a request on humanitarian or compassionate grounds from within Canada.

The Instructions respect all previously established accords and agreements including the Quebec-Canada Accord and all existing agreements with provinces and territories.

These Ministerial Instructions identify eligibility criteria for applications and requests for certain immigration categories. Applications meeting these criteria are eligible for processing under these instructions. In all cases, applicants meeting eligibility criteria set out in Ministerial Instructions are still subject to all other applicable legislative requirements of the class to which the applicant is applying.

These Instructions will come into force on January 2, 2013, and apply to applications received by designated CIC offices on or after January 2, 2013.

Any categories for which Instructions are not specifically issued shall continue to be processed in the usual manner, as per processing priorities established by the Department.

Economic Class applications

Any categories for which Instructions are not specifically issued shall continue to be processed in the usual manner.

Federal Skilled Trades Class

The Federal Skilled Trades Class will come into force on January 2, 2013, as per the Regulations Amending the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (SOR/2012-274) published in the Canada Gazette, Part Ⅱ, of December 19, 2012. These Instructions, which come into force on the same date, are intended to manage the processing of applications under the Federal Skilled Trades Class in order to ensure that the program responds to a range of labour market needs.

Cap and sub-caps on the number of applications to be processed per year

A maximum of 3 000 new applications submitted for the Federal Skilled Trades Class will be considered for processing each year.

Within the 3 000 cap, a maximum of 100 new applications submitted for each of the skilled trade occupations set out in Group A below will be considered for processing each year. No such sub-cap will apply to applications submitted for skilled trade occupations in Group B. For further clarity, the total of all applications considered for processing shall not exceed 3 000. As well, caps apply irrespective of whether an application is made with a qualifying offer of employment or a certificate of qualification from a provincial or territorial apprenticeship authority.

In calculating the caps, applications will be considered in order of the date they are received. Applications received on the same date will be considered for processing according to routine office procedures.

For the unique purpose of calculating the caps, the cap year will begin on January 2, 2013, and end on January 1, 2014, unless otherwise indicated in future Ministerial Instructions.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the notice.)

Users should take note that this notice sets out the requirements for reporting to the NPRI for two individual calendar years — 2012 and 2013. Information for the 2012 calendar year must be submitted by June 1, 2013. Information for the 2013 calendar year must be submitted by June 1, 2014.

There are no substantive changes to the reporting requirements for 2012 and 2013.

Environment Canada received a proposal from Environmental Defence to add naphthenic acids to the list of NPRI substances in 2012. Consultations were undertaken on the proposal. For more information on the proposal and on Environment Canada’s response to the proposal, visit www.ec.gc.ca/inrp-npri/default.asp?lang=En&n=38ACBBA6-1.

The National Pollutant Release Inventory — Background information

The NPRI is Canada’s legislated, publicly accessible inventory of pollutant releases, disposals and recycling. It includes information collected from facilities under the authority of section 46 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (the Act), together with air pollutant emission estimates compiled by Environment Canada for facilities that are not required to report and for non-industrial sources such as motor vehicles, residential heating, forest fires and agriculture.

The Act contains information-gathering provisions, which allow the Minister of the Environment to require reporting of information on certain substances. The provisions also require the Minister to establish and to publish a national inventory of releases of pollutants. These provisions under the Act form the primary legislative basis for the NPRI.

For the latest reporting year, over 8 000 industrial, commercial and other facilities reported to Environment Canada on their releases, disposals and transfers for recycling of more than 300 substances of concern. Air pollutant emission estimates for other facilities and non-industrial sources were also compiled for air pollutants contributing to smog, acid rain and/or poor air quality, selected heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants.

The Government of Canada considers the information provided by the NPRI to be vital in its efforts to reduce releases of substances that are of concern to the environment and to the health of Canadians. NPRI information is a major starting point for identifying and monitoring sources of pollution in Canada, as well as in developing indicators for the quality of our air, land and water. The NPRI helps governments determine if regulatory or other action is necessary to ensure reductions, and if so, the form that action should take. NPRI data helps the Government of Canada track progress in pollution prevention, evaluate releases and transfers of substances of concern, identify and take action on environmental priorities, and implement policy initiatives and risk-management measures.

The NPRI provides Canadians with annual information on industrial, institutional, commercial and other releases and transfers in their communities. Public access to the NPRI motivates industry and individuals to prevent and to reduce pollutant releases.

For more information on the NPRI, including guidance documents, annual summary reports, and access to the NPRI data in a variety of formats, including an online search and databases, please visit the NPRI Web site at www.ec.gc.ca/inrp-npri.

Input from stakeholders and other interested parties on the NPRI is welcome — contact information is provided at the beginning of this notice.

Reporting to the National Pollutant Release Inventory

Reporting requirements outlined in this notice are now collected via Environment Canada’s single window reporting system that was launched in March 2010. This system currently collects data for the National Pollutant Release Inventory and its partners (Ontario Toxics Reduction Act, Ontario Regulation 127/01, the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada National Emissions Reduction Masterplan Survey, and the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment National Framework for Petroleum Refinery Emission Reductions), Environment Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Program, and GHG reporting for British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.

The use of a single system for reporting of this information helps to reduce the reporting burden on industry, and the overall cost to government. The system requires industry to submit information that is common to multiple jurisdictions once, but is expanded to accommodate reporting requirements and thresholds that are jurisdiction-specific.

Environment Canada continues to be engaged in efforts to streamline and harmonize governmental data-collection initiatives to reduce an unnecessary administrative burden. To that end, work is being done to harmonize definitions, requirements and reporting systems within the Department. Efforts are also continuing to reduce duplication between federal data-collection initiatives and those of other jurisdictions, to the extent practicable.

For those who meet the requirements of this notice, reporting is mandatory. Obtaining the relevant guidance documents is the responsibility of the person required to report under this notice. Those who have not obtained the guidance documents are encouraged to visit the NPRI Web site or to contact Environment Canada at the address provided at the beginning of this notice.

Changes to contacts, ownership and reported information

It is important that contact and ownership information be kept up to date and any errors in submitted data be corrected in a timely manner, so that the information provided by the NPRI continues to be relevant and accurate. Therefore, persons who submitted reports for a previous year are strongly encouraged to update their information, through the online reporting system or by contacting Environment Canada directly, if

  • there is a change in the name, address, telephone number, or email address of the contacts identified for the facility since the submission of the report for the previous year;
  • there is a change in the owner or operator of a facility for which a report has been submitted for the previous year; or
  • the person becomes aware that the information submitted for any previous year was mistaken or inaccurate.

Compliance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 is mandatory

Compliance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) is mandatory pursuant to subsections 272(1) and 272.1(1) of the Act. Amendments to the fine scheme of the Act came into force on June 22, 2012. Subsections 272(2), (3) and (4) and 272.1(2), (3) and (4) of the Act set the penalties for persons who commit an offence under the Act. Offences include the offence of failing to comply with an obligation arising from the Act and the offence of providing false or misleading information. Penalties for offences can result, upon conviction (either summary conviction or indictment), in fines of not more than $12 million, imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or both.

The current text of the Act, including the most recent amendments, is available on Justice Canada’s Web site: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-15.31.

The Act is enforced in accordance with the Compliance and Enforcement Policy for the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, available at www.ec.gc.ca/lcpe-cepa/default.asp?lang=En&n=5082BFBE-1. Suspected violations under the Act can be reported to the Enforcement Branch by email at environmental.enforcement@ec.gc.ca.
