Canada
Outlines Significant Changes to Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) for Express
Entry Immigration System
NOVEMBER 10, 2016
Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has revamped the Comprehensive
Ranking System (CRS) for its Express Entry immigration selection system. The
changes, which had been expected for some time, will have a major effect on
candidates for immigration to Canada through the three federal programs managed
through Express Entry, namely the Federal Skilled
Worker Class, the Federal Skilled
Trades Class, and the Canadian Experience Class.
The new instructions on Express
Entry, which were published in the government of Canada’s official Gazette,
come into force on November 19, 2016.
The significant changes to job
offers are:
·
A qualifying job offer is now worth 200 points if the offer is in an occupation contained in a Major Group 00
of the National Occupational Classification (senior managerial level position).
These occupations are:
·
0011 Legislators
·
0012 Senior government managers
and officials
·
0013 Senior managers –
financial, communications and other business services
·
0014 Senior managers – health,
education, social and community services and membership organizations
·
0015 Senior managers – trade,
broadcasting and other services not elsewhere classified.
·
0016 Senior managers –
construction, transportation, production and utilities
·
A qualifying job offer is now worth 50 points if the offer is any other qualifying offer of arranged
employment.
Previously, qualifying job offers
supported by a Labour Market Impact
Assessment were worth 600
points under the CRS. As of November 19,
there will be new ways of being awarded either 50 or 200 points without the
need to obtain a LMIA (though points will continue to be awarded to individuals
with a new or existing LMIA). The new regulations also allow the following
individuals to be awarded points for a qualifying job offer:
·
Individuals with a work permit
issued under an international agreement, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
·
Individuals with a work permit
issued under the ‘significant benefits to Canada’ criteria, such as Intra-Company
Transfers.
In both above cases, the worker must
have been working in Canada for at least one year and the job offer must be made
by the same employer named on the work permit.
