A major change has been announced in Canada's Express Entry system.
Under this change, which will come into effect in the spring of 2025, no extra points for job offers will be awarded.
Impact and purpose
This process change is an attempt to reduce the illegal buying or selling of LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) documents. This will help prevent irregularities in the selection of foreign workers.
An LMIA is a document required to hire foreign workers for jobs that Canadian workers are unable to do.
This will reduce the importance of job opportunities for applicants who obtain permanent residence through Express Entry.
Impact
This change will also affect foreign workers who are temporarily working in Canada.
However, those who have applied with a job contract or received an invitation so far will not be affected by this change.
The Government of Canada believes that this change will reduce document irregularities in the Express Entry system and improve fairness in foreign employment.
