Express Entry is also Canada’s main method for bringing international skilled workers into the country through permanent residency.

Accordingly, it is important that we share with Express Entry the proposed changes expected to be implemented from the first quarter of 2024.

How is Express Entry changing?

As the country commits to better addressing the specific labor shortages and needs of the Canadian economy, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) shared its intention to begin conducting targeted Express Entry draws in 2024 Is.

These Express Entry draws, made possible because of the recently passed Bill C-19, will intentionally target candidates based on their occupation, language and/or education in order to find Canadian Permanent Residency (PR), which will help them grow in Canada. And will help to flourish.

According to Immigration Minister Sean Fraser, the current Express Entry all-program draw does not satisfactorily help Canada bring in foreign nationals who best align with the country’s most in-demand skills and qualifications.

Uncertain as of the time of writing on the specific occupational, language, or educational credential categories that it will use to inform the composition of these new draws, the IRCC says it is looking to “notify the new categories in Express Entry.” Will consult a wide range of stakeholders.” to ultimately decide on the details of the new format.

what does this mean?

For the time being, IRCC will continue to conduct the Express Entry draw as usual. Once every approximately two weeks, a dynamic number of Invitations to Apply for Canadian PR (ITA) will be given to applicants who have entered one of the three Express Entry Programs – CEC, FSWP and/or FSTP – – Based on their CRS score.

The CRS score has long been Canada’s key driver for selecting Express Entry candidates. These scores are currently used to rank Canadian immigration candidates based on a number of factors – including, but not limited to, age, official language proficiency and Canadian work experience – and ITAs are sent out accordingly.

Beginning in Q1 2024, however, the Express Entry system will move away from focusing on CRS scores and conduct draws to allow Canada to welcome immigrants who address specific areas of labor market need and weakness to the country. Help you focus better on doing.

The ultimate goal of these targeted draws is to strengthen the Canadian labor market and it is expected to “see a potential increase in retention rates”. [amongst people who settle in specific communities] Because people are coming where they know they have opportunities because that was the basis for their invitation to apply”, according to Minister Fraser.
