Express Entry is changing on November 3, 2026, and your occupation could mean extra CRS points. 🍁
IRCC is adding points for high-wage occupations, based on 3 wage levels:
🔶 2× median: +70 for eligible Canadian work experience, or +100 for a qualifying job offer
🔶 1.5× median: +40 for work experience, or +70 for a job offer
🔶 1.3× median: +20 for work experience, or +50 for a job offer
You receive the higher eligible option, not both.
Swipe through to find your NOC code under each wage level ➡️
⚠️ Before you update your profile:
✔️ The wage level is tied to your occupation’s national median wage, not your personal salary
✔️ Work experience points generally require at least 12 months of eligible Canadian work experience
✔️ Job offers must be valid and meet IRCC’s requirements. Removing the LMIA requirement doesn’t remove other eligibility rules
Always confirm your NOC and the latest details on the official IRCC page (link in bio).
