Changes to Express Entry
Thursday, April 6, 2017
Starting June 6, 2017, Express Entry requirements and rankings will change.
Express Entry candidates are assessed through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). CRS points are awarded based on a candidate's professional and personal background. Candidates with the highest rankings are invited to apply for permanent residency.
Additional points will be awarded to candidates who have:
- Strong French skills and/or bilingual language abilities
- A brother or sister living in Canada who is a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident
Also, Express Entry candidates will no longer have to register for the Job Bank.
You can find a full description of the changes on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website (IRCC).
