Upcoming Changes to Express Entry

Tuesday, November 15, 2016

The Canadian Government has announced that on November 19, 2016 changes will be made to the Express Entry system.

Express Entry is an online immigration application platform based on a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) that ranks applicants towards their application for permanent residence. Changes will be made to the way points are awarded for people who have studied in Canada as international students and for those applying for permanent residence with a job offer.

As a result, these changes are expected to impact former and current international students, as well as, experienced professionals and skilled workers. 

You can find a detailed description of the changes on the Government of Canada website. You can also find more information on the different immigration programs in Ontario on Settlement.Org.
