The Canadian government announced the removal of job offer points from the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) in the Express Entry pool.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The CRS previously awarded 50 points to any other skilled occupation with Arranged Employment and 200 points to those with Arranged Employment offers in senior managerial positions (Major Group 00 of the National Occupation Classification).
As BAL reported, the Canadian government announced late last year that temporary foreign workers who apply to become permanent residents through the Express Entry system will soon no longer get additional points if they have a job offer supported by an LMIA. The most recent change removes points for all offers of Arranged Employment, LMIA-based or otherwise.
