Canada is considering a comprehensive overhaul of its Express Entry immigration system, marking the most significant reform in over a decade. The proposed changes would shift selection criteria away from factors such as Canadian education, family ties and language bonuses, and instead prioritize high-earning applicants.
A new “high wage occupation” metric is expected to reward candidates working in professions with salaries significantly above the national median. This approach aims to better align immigration selection with long-term economic outcomes while reducing opportunities for system manipulation.
The reforms could significantly impact international students and reshape traditional pathways to permanent residence. However, as the proposals remain under consultation, implementation is unlikely before 2027.
