Canada Eliminates Bonus CRS Points for Arranged Employment in Express Entry

, , , , 0

In a significant update to its immigration system, Canada has removed the additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points previously awarded for arranged employment under the Express Entry program. This change, announced today, marks a shift in how the country evaluates skilled worker applications.
 
Previously, candidates with a qualifying job offer supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) could earn extra CRS points, boosting their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency. However, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has now eliminated this bonus, aiming to streamline the selection process and prioritize other factors such as education, language skills, and work experience.
 
The decision is expected to impact prospective immigrants who relied on employer sponsorship to strengthen their Express Entry profiles. Experts suggest this move may level the playing field for applicants without job offers, though it could pose challenges for those targeting specific occupations or regions. IRCC has yet to clarify whether transitional measures will support candidates already in the pool with arranged employment.
 
Stay tuned to Method Immigration for further updates on how this change affects Express Entry draws and what it means for your immigration journey.

Flagpoling Policy Change

, , , , , , , , , , 0

Flagpoling Set to End as IRCC Strengthens Border Security

The Government of Canada has announced a major policy change that will put an end to the practice of flagpoling, a popular method for temporary residents to expedite immigration services at border crossings. Immigration Minister Marc Miller revealed the plan on December 17, 2024, stating that the move is part of broader efforts to enhance the integrity and efficiency of Canada’s immigration system.

What is Flagpoling?

Flagpoling is a process where temporary residents in Canada leave the country and re-enter through a Canadian port of entry, often at the U.S. border, to receive immediate immigration services. This practice has been commonly used by individuals seeking to renew work permits, study permits, or finalize their permanent residency status.

While flagpoling provides faster processing compared to online applications, it places additional strain on border officials and creates congestion at border crossings.

Why is Flagpoling Ending?

Minister Miller emphasized that ending flagpoling will help border officials focus on their primary responsibilities, such as ensuring border security and managing legitimate cross-border travel and trade. “Flagpoling will no longer be an option,” he stated, adding that the policy will be implemented “as soon as possible.”

This decision aligns with IRCC’s ongoing efforts to improve the immigration system by reducing backlogs and streamlining application processes. Earlier in 2024, measures were introduced to limit flagpoling, including reduced service hours at 12 Canada-U.S. border crossings and restrictions for specific applicant groups, such as Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) holders.

What Does This Mean for Temporary Residents?

Once the policy takes effect, temporary residents will no longer be able to rely on flagpoling for expedited services. Instead, they will need to apply online to extend their stay or modify their immigration status. This shift underscores the importance of planning and understanding the online application process to avoid delays or lapses in legal status.

Key Takeaways

  • Effective Date: The exact date for the policy’s implementation has not yet been announced, but IRCC plans to enforce it in the near future.

  • Application Process: Temporary residents should familiarize themselves with IRCC’s online application system and prepare for potential processing delays.

  • Border Efficiency: The change aims to reduce congestion and improve operational efficiency at Canada’s borders.

What’s Next?

As the policy unfolds, IRCC will likely release further details and guidance for temporary residents and other stakeholders. In the meantime, those affected are encouraged to monitor official updates and ensure their applications are submitted well in advance of expiry dates.

At Method Immigration, we are committed to keeping you informed about important changes to Canadian immigration policies. If you have questions or need assistance with your application, contact us today to speak with one of our experienced RCIC consultants.

Understanding Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA): A Guide for Canadian Employers

, , , 0

As a Canadian employer, hiring foreign workers can be a great way to fill labour gaps and grow your business. However, it’s essential to ensure that hiring foreign workers won’t negatively impact the Canadian job market. That’s where the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) comes in. In this post, we’ll break down the LMIA process and provide valuable insights for Canadian employers.

*What is an LMIA?*

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that assesses the potential impact of hiring foreign workers on the Canadian labour market.

*Why is an LMIA required?*

An LMIA is required to ensure that:

  1. Canadian citizens and permanent residents have been given fair consideration for job opportunities.
  2. Hiring foreign workers won’t negatively impact wages and working conditions for Canadian workers.
  3. The foreign worker’s employment will contribute to Canada’s economic growth.

*LMIA Process:*

  1. *Application Submission:* Employers submit an LMIA application to ESDC.
  2. *Job Market Analysis:* ESDC assesses the labour market to determine if Canadian workers are available for the job.
  3. *Wage and Working Conditions:* Employers must demonstrate that wages and working conditions meet provincial standards.
  4. *Language Requirements:* Employers must demonstrate language requirements for the job.
  5. *Decision:* ESDC issues a positive or negative LMIA.

*Types of LMIA:*

  1. *High-Wage LMIA:* For positions paying above the median provincial wage.
  2. *Low-Wage LMIA:* For positions paying below the median provincial wage.
  3. *Global Talent Stream LMIA:* For high-skilled workers in specialized fields.

*Benefits of LMIA:*

  1. *Access to Global Talent:* Attract skilled workers from around the world.
  2. *Business Growth:* Fill labour gaps and expand operations.
  3. *Compliance:* Ensure adherence to Canadian labour laws.

*Challenges and Considerations:*

  1. *Processing Times:* LMIA processing times can vary.
  2. *Language Requirements:* Employers must demonstrate language requirements.
  3. *Wage and Working Conditions:* Employers must meet provincial standards.

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a crucial step in hiring foreign workers in Canada. By understanding the LMIA process and requirements, Canadian employers can navigate the complexities of hiring foreign talent.

New Canada LMIA Rules Now in Effect: What You Need to Know

, , , 0

As of September 26, 2024, three significant changes to Canada’s Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) rules have taken effect, impacting the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program. These changes aim to prioritize Canadian workers and curb over-reliance on foreign labor in metropolitan areas with unemployment rates of 6% or higher.

Key Changes to the TFW Program

– Suspension of LMIAs in High Unemployment Areas: No new LMIAs will be processed for low-wage positions in areas with high unemployment, except for critical sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and construction.

– 10% Cap on Foreign Workers: Employers can now hire only 10% of their workforce through the TFW Program, down from 20%.

– Reduced Employment Duration: Low-wage stream employment is now limited to one year, reduced from two years.

Previous Changes to Curb LMIA Fraud

In response to growing concerns about misuse and fraud, the Canadian government introduced measures on August 6, 2024, including:

– Regulatory Changes: Stricter employer eligibility criteria and penalties for misuse.

– 20% Cap Enforcement: Limiting low-wage temporary foreign workers to 20% of an employer’s workforce.

– Enhanced Oversight: Increased monitoring and inspections in high-risk regions and industries.

– Fee Increase: Proposed LMIA fee hike to discourage frivolous applications.

Future Adjustments and Monitoring

The Canadian government will closely monitor these changes and make further adjustments as needed. A comprehensive review of the TFW Program will take place within the next 60 days, potentially leading to additional changes.
