  • Which province in Canada is easiest to immigrate to?

    A common misconception on Canadian immigration is that some provinces are “easier” than others to immigrate to.

  • Why are Canadian workers so educated?

    One key reason behind the growing number of qualified workers in Canada, is a strong and internationally accredited post-secondary education system, which Canadians have benefitted from. The strength of the educational sector can be seen by its growth just among Canadians.

  • Why no FSTP was not selected from Express Entry pool since July 6th?

    There are a number of reasons why no Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) candidates were declared. IRCC prioritizes sending CEC invitations to candidates who are eligible for more than one program. IRCC invites candidates to apply for the CEC when they are eligible for both the FSWP and the CEC, or if they are eligible for all three programs including the FSTP. The reason is because CEC candidates do not need to have a proof of funds in order to apply for immigration, where as FSWP and FSTP candidates without a Canadian job offer do. So, it is more desirable for candidates who are eligible for both to apply through the CEC.

  • Why October is set to be a major month for Canadian immigration

    The next month will hold announcements for the Parents and Grandparents Program, Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025, Statistics Canada census data and more.

    After a massive Express Entry draw, Canada shows it is serious about hitting its immigration targets.

  • Will Canada welcome over 500,000 new immigrants per year?

    Immigration Minister Sean Fraser shares his thoughts on Canada's future permanent residence levels. "It's not a point of pride that I have to be the minister that gets to 500,000...what's important to me is that I'm meeting the needs of communities."

  • Will CRS scores drop for invitations to be issued to selected candidates?

    Canada has resumed all-program Express Entry draws as of July 6. Since then, the number of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) issued in each draw has grown by 250 each week, causing the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score requirements to go down.

  • Will Express Entry eligibility criteria change in 2022?

    IRCC continues to weigh its options and is going to submit a new Express Entry plan to the Deputy Minister. A recent internal memo by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) states the department remains undecided on its Express Entry plans for this year but invitations to FSWP and CEC candidates will resume “later in 2022.”

    The Deputy Minister is the senior-most non-political official in each Canadian government department. Unlike the Minister, who is an elected official tasked with carrying out the government’s political agenda, the Deputy Minister is responsible for providing the government with technocratic advice.
    Key components of the memo include Invitation to apply rounds for Federal Skilled Worker Program, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) candidates will resume later in 2022.
