Immigrant money pays for bonuses

Government employees who processed Provincial Nominee Program applications earlier this year were paid extras and bonuses for their work, but this money did not come from public funds, it was immigrants’ money, says Innovation Minister Richard Brown.
The bonuses were given due to the high volume of applications processed between April and September when the program ended. Approximately 1,800 applications were put through during this time.
