Good news is here.......!!!
"CANADA IMMIGRATION" is now more easy..!!!
Improvements in Canada Express Entry Criteria...!!!
1. More points for French/English language(IELTS)
Candidates will score
15 additional points for a level 7 in listening, speaking, reading and writing
in the Niveau de Competence Liguistique Canadiens (NLC) combined with an
English score of 4 or below in the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB).
Those points will rise
to 30 if the French level 7 is combined with an English level 5 or above.
The extra points are
in addition to the existing language points. Up to 136 points can be awarded
for a candidate’s first official language and 24 points for the second.
2. New points for having a sibling in Canada
Candidates with a
sibling living in Canada will be awarded 15 extra points under Canada
Express entry.
The sibling must be
age 18 or older and be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. They must
share a mother or father with the principal candidate or their spouse or
common-law partner. The relationship can be blood, marriage, common-law or
adoption.
3. No mandatory Canadian Job Bank registration
Candidates will no
longer be required to register for the Canada Job Bank. They will automatically
qualify to receive an invitation once they are in the Canada Express Entry
Pool.
4. New approach to rank candidates with same CRS score
The Express Entry
system will continue to rank candidates by their CRS score, but where a tie
exists, all tied candidates will then be ranked based on the date and time they
submitted their Express Entry profile.
The latest changes
follow the recent move to add points for a Canadian education, and reduce points
for a qualified job offer, under the Canada immigration Express Entry system.
Express Entry is an
immigration system implemented by CIC on January 1, 2015 which manages skilled
worker applications under Federal Economic programs. This includes the Federal
Skilled Worker Program, the Skilled Trades Program the Canada Experience Class
and certain parts of the Provincial Nominee Program.
Stakeholders expect to
see between 12-15 draws and up to 30,000 invitations during the first six
months of 2017, with CRS scores well below 500 to enable Canadian
immigration authorities to meet targeted annual immigration levels for 2017.
What this means for employers?
Employers are
encouraged to consider securing an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) or nomination under Provincial Nomination Programs (PNP) to ensure long term retention of employees.
What this means for candidates?
Minimum CRS scores for
Express Entry candidates have been consistently the low 400s throughout 2017, with
the lowest all-program draw dropping to 413 points.
This has enabled a
significant number of applicants to receive permanent admission to Canada
without a job offer or nomination under a provincial immigration program.
However, securing an approved offer of employment is highly recommended.
