A coalition has suggested that Germany could introduce a program similar to that followed by Canada to deal with a labour shortage. Germany's FDP party has suggested that Germany could introduce a points-based program similar to that adopted by Canada to tackle the skills shortage. Johannes Vogel, the deputy leader of the FDP party, who said that the Canadian experience has shown that this system can receive more than 60 per cent of immigrants, said that this is why we should not ignore the points-based system and introduce it in the new immigration rules.
