Introduction
The Canadian government has proposed a new priority factor for Express Entry candidates. About 40% of priority occupations will receive an additional boost. This factor will consider the wage level in each occupation.
Priority Occupations
Currently, there are 89 priority occupations in Canada that can qualify for permanent residence through category-based selection (CBS). The new factor will allow candidates with higher wages to have more chances of getting permanent residence.
What it means for candidates
Express Entry candidates who have occupations on the priority list should be aware of the changes in the selection system. They may receive additional points for their occupation if it meets the new priority factor.
What to do next
- Canada Express Entry: Permanent Residence — Order
- Canada Work Permit (LMIA-based / Employer-Specific) — Order
