Altec Insights | Express Entry Overhaul is Looming! 3 Critical Steps the Government Recommends You Take Right Now

IRCC has signaled the biggest overhaul to the Express Entry system since 2015. The separate FSW, CEC, and FST pathways are set to merge into one unified economic stream, completely rewriting the rules of the CRS scoring system. 🔄❗️

Don't let policy uncertainty freeze your immigration plans. Here are 3 tactical steps you must take during this transition window to stay ahead of the curve:

1️⃣ Target "High-Wage" Roles: The future system plans to heavily reward candidates whose jobs pay 1.3x, 1.5x, or 2x above the Canadian median wage. Aligning your NOC code with high-wage data is about to become a major points booster! 💼💰

2️⃣ Get Fully Certified (Trades): Apprenticeship hours won't cut it anymore. The new framework will heavily favor tradespeople holding Full Licensure or Red Seal certificates over entry-level experience. Time to book those exams! 🛠️📜

3️⃣ Retake Your Language Tests: IRCC plans to set a uniform pool entry baseline of CLB 6 and increase points for top scores. If your IELTS, CELPIP, or PTE results are aging, retaking them now locks in your validity for the next 18+ months and positions you to escape the pool before the change. 🗣️📈

Their collective efforts were instrumental in achieving this significant milestone for local community hospitals. Ms Gong is also pleased to recognize Team Taiwan for their continued participation this year and shares a special thank you with Andy for his exceptional generosity in sponsoring numerous event registrations.
