NOMINATING SETTLERS.

NEW CANADIAN SCHEME. Details of a now and extensive scheme of immigration to Canada, on the nomination principle, have been officially announced in* London. It is based on the agreement between the Provincial and the Federal Governments, under which the Federal Government will, in future, accept responsibility for the placing of experienced farm workers and domestic workers, without any limitation as to number. It will also agree to the settlement of inexperienced farm workers sent out from Britain under the terms of a wide nomination scheme. This scheme will operate under the two headings of personal and descriptive nomination. The former will be that in which a particular emigrant is named and nominated by a friend in Canada, while descriptive nomination will mean that a Canadian employer will nominate not the individual worker, Lut the class of worker he will be prepared to accept and settlo. A special effort is to be made to develop. this principle of nomination by the promotion of close co-opcration between the Canadian Government and all who are engaged on emigration work. To meet any further demand for settlers, the Government will, . moreover, allow bulk nomination of settlers by all emigration workers who can demonstrate their ability to place the newcomers satisfactorily. These will, of course, includo the immigration organisations of the two Can» adian railway companies and other organised emigration bodies. The kulfc nomination scheme will be operative until May 15 of next year.
