State & history

In 1967, Canada introduced a 'points system' for immigration. What did it change?

  • ✕ Immigrants had to pay a fee per point Your answer
  • B Only immigrants from Europe could apply
  • ✓ Applicants were judged on factors like education, language and skills instead of origin
  • D Immigration was stopped for ten years

Not quite.

The 1967 points system ranked applicants on criteria such as education, language ability and job skills. It removed most rules that favoured some countries of origin over others.
