New Changes In Express Entry System

  Since Bill C-19 received royal approval, Canada's Express Entry system will undergo reform.  It makes new amendments to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) used to evaluate and rank individuals in the pool .

  Express Entry includes all economic immigration programs, such as the Canadian Experience Class, the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled trades Program, and some of the provincial nomination programs that will see changes under Bill C-19 in 2023

  Summary of Bill C-19 Express Entry Amendments

Express Entry Selection based on new groups and categories 

  The new amendment includes instructions from Canada's immigration minister to introduce additional filters to Express Entry based on groups and categories rather than immigration classes.  The minister's instructions serve as the basis for the immigration procedures of Express Entry.

Express Entry ITAs to specify the stream in which the applicant must apply

   Another amendment is to create new categories of eligibility for ranking purposes.  If an application is eligible for more than one class, the invitation to apply for permanent residence must specify the stream in which the application is applied.

  Applicants  that have lost points due to age may receive a permanent resident visa

   The amendment creates exceptions that allow Express Entry permanent resident visas to be issued to candidates who receive an invitation from the Immigration Service but lose eligibility due to a change in their circumstances.

  More details on Bill C-19's new categories, eligibility features will be released by Immigration Canada in the coming months.
