๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ EXPRESS ENTRY IS CHANGING โ€” AND YOUR CRS SCORE COULD CHANGE TOO!

On October 16, IRCC announced major changes to Express Entry, taking effect November 3, 2026.

Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s changing ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ’ผ JOB OFFER POINTS ARE BACK!
Eligible high-wage job offers may qualify for 50, 70, or 100 CRS points, depending on the occupation.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ NEW POINTS FOR CANADIAN WORK EXPERIENCE
Qualifying Canadian work experience in eligible high-wage occupations may provide additional CRS points.

๐Ÿ“„ NEW LMIA RULES
An LMIA will no longer be required for certain qualifying job offers under the updated Express Entry rules.

๐Ÿ”„ CRS RECALCULATION
IRCC will recalculate existing Express Entry profiles, with invitation rounds temporarily paused during the transition.

โš ๏ธ But hereโ€™s the catch:

Not every job offer qualifies. Not every Canadian worker will receive additional points. And having both a qualifying job offer and Canadian work experience doesnโ€™t mean you can combine both sets of points.

So what does this mean for YOUR Express Entry profile?

Swipe through to understand the changes and what you should review before November 3. ๐Ÿ‘‰

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating in Canada today. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿงก

You left something familiar to build something here. That takes more than most people realize. We get to be part of that โ€” and we donโ€™t forget it.

Wishing you a good day and good news soon.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ 11,288 Express Entry invitations in September. But thatโ€™s not the most interesting part.

In just one month, IRCC held 8 draws, with CRS cut-offs ranging from 198 to 734.

Yes, you read that right. 198 and 734 โ€” in the same month. ๐Ÿ‘€

So, what was really happening?

๐Ÿ“Š 6,000 invitations went to Canadian Experience Class candidates.
๐Ÿฉบ 3,729 invitations were issued across two health-related draws.
๐ŸŽฏ Physicians and senior managers with Canadian work experience received targeted invitations.

But hereโ€™s what matters: these candidates werenโ€™t all competing under the same selection criteria.

And thatโ€™s exactly why your CRS score alone doesnโ€™t tell the whole story.

Weโ€™ve broken down all 8 September draws, explored the trends, and explained what these numbers may mean for Express Entry candidates.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Work permit holders in Canada โ€” thereโ€™s an important new option to know about.

As of September 4, 2026, eligible foreign workers with a valid work permit may study in Canada without a separate study permit for a course or program of 6 months or less.

This could make it easier to pursue short-term professional training, certification, licensing or skills upgrading while working in Canada.

But thereโ€™s an important immigration consideration: if you study full-time under this temporary public policy, work experience gained during that period does not count toward Canadian Experience Class eligibility or Canadian work experience points under the CRS.

So before enrolling, look beyond the course itself. Consider how studying may affect your work experience, Express Entry profile and long-term immigration strategy.

Swipe through for the key rules. ๐Ÿ‘‰

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ $100 back in your pocket โ€” even as a newcomer to Canada.

The Alberta Energy Rebate isn't just for citizens. The rule is Alberta residency, not immigration status โ€” so many work permit holders and international students who meet the requirements below can apply too.

โœ… Be 18+ and an Alberta resident
โœ… Have filed your 2025 tax return
โœ… Have a validated Alberta.ca account
โœ… Household income of $225,000 or less

And 2 of our PNP nominees just crossed 600 points โ€” that puts them in line to get invited in the next draw.

Yes, it's possible. But your CRS score alone won't get you there โ€” you need the right strategy behind it.

That's exactly what we're breaking down at our in-person workshop. Seats are limited.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Your work permit has an expiry date. Does your PR plan have a deadline?

One of the biggest mistakes I see is waiting until a work permit is close to expiring before seriously thinking about permanent residence.

Your PR strategy should start before the urgency begins.

If youโ€™re trying to understand:

โœ… Express Entry and your CRS score

CRS 198 โ€” and an Express Entry invitation. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

On September 3, Canada invited 229 candidates in a targeted Express Entry round for physicians with Canadian work experience.

The CRS cut-off was just 198.

But before comparing that number to CEC or other Express Entry draws, thereโ€™s something important to understand:

This draw wasnโ€™t open to everyone in the Express Entry pool.

Candidates had to meet the requirements of the specific physician category โ€” including eligible Canadian work experience in one of the designated physician occupations.

Thatโ€™s why a candidate with CRS 198 could receive an ITA in this round while someone with a much higher CRS who didnโ€™t qualify for the category could not.

The bigger lesson?

Donโ€™t look at CRS in isolation. Look at which draws your profile can actually qualify for.

Swipe through the carousel to see:
โœ” which physician NOCs qualify
โœ” the Canadian work experience requirement
โœ” why foreign experience alone isnโ€™t enough for this category
โœ” how category-based selection works
โœ” why CRS 198 doesnโ€™t mean Express Entry suddenly became easier
