"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2507529\" data-originallang=\"en\">We're trying to address that issue from both ends, in the selection criteria that we set for immigrants and in providing language training supports for immigrants once they're here. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2507530\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the changes CIC has recently introduced is that we're now requiring immigration applicants to have their language assessed before they arrive in Canada. We're taking the results of that language training into account in the points grid that determines their overall eligibility to immigrate to Canada. That's one of the changes we've introduced.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2507531\" data-originallang=\"en\">We still provide a substantial amount of post-arrival language training to immigrants. This can often be supplemented by the specific training they get within the profession for communicating and working in their profession.</p>",
