🚨 BILL C-12 IS NOW LAW IN CANADA 🇨🇦

Canada has officially brought new immigration and asylum measures into force under Bill C-12. According to IRCC, the law strengthens the system in 4 key areas: new asylum eligibility rules, a modernized asylum process, domestic information sharing, and new authorities over immigration documents and application processing. (Canada)

Some important updates:
✔️ some asylum claims made more than 1 year after first entry into Canada may no longer be referred to the IRB
✔️ some claims made after irregular entry from the U.S. land border and after 14 days may not be referred to the IRB
✔️ IRCC now has new powers, in the public interest, to pause intake, cancel or suspend processing, or change groups of immigration documents like visas, eTAs, work permits, and study permits
✔️ these powers do not apply to refugee protection applications and do not give the government power to grant, change, or revoke immigration status (Canada)

If you have a refugee claim, work permit, study permit, visa, or application in process, this update may affect your options and timing. IRCC says the new asylum eligibility rules apply to claims made on or after June 3, 2025, and Bill C-12 received royal assent on March 26, 2026. General information only. Not legal advice.

EXPRESS ENTRY UPDATE 2026 🇨🇦

Canada is adding 3 new occupation-based categories — but CRS is still in place.

✅ Candidates are still ranked by CRS
✅ Now IRCC can run occupation-specific draws
✅ You compete within your job category (if selected)

🆕 New priority categories:
• Researchers & senior managers
• Transport workers (pilots, mechanics, inspectors)
• Skilled foreign military personnel

📌 If your occupation is targeted, you may receive an ITA even with a lower CRS than general draws.

Canada is now selecting immigrants based on labour shortages — not just high scores. ImmigrationUpdate MoveToCanada SkilledWorkers IRCC 🇨🇦

✨ One of the best parts of my job is delivering the words every client dreams of hearing: “Your Permanent Residency has been approved!” 🇨🇦💖

Today felt extra special. This client had been turned away so many times… refused refugee claims in both the U.S. and Canada, told there was no path forward, told there was no solution. But she didn’t give up—and neither did we.

Moments like this remind me why I love what I do. Helping someone rebuild hope and finally start their new chapter… there’s nothing like it. ❤️✨

Sometimes, when no other immigration pathway is available (like work permit, study permit, refugee claim, or family sponsorship), an H&C application is the last and only option to stay in Canada legally.

H&C is case-by-case – IRCC looks at your entire situation. Strong cases usually include:
• Best interests of a child in Canada
• Establishment in Canada (work, community ties)
• Hardship if forced to leave
• Family support in Canada
Not everyone will succeed – having strong H&C grounds makes a huge difference. &C

Canada has updated its Express Entry system to include more healthcare and social service occupations. Newly eligible roles include pharmacists, social workers, dental hygienists, veterinary technicians, cardiology technologists, pharmacy technicians, and more.

If you have at least 6 months of full-time experience in one of these jobs within the last 3 years, you may now qualify for permanent residence.

To check eligibility:
1. Find your NOC code on the Government of Canada’s website.
2. Confirm your job duties match the NOC description.
3. Ensure your role is listed under the updated category.
