					<description><![CDATA[On February 18, 2026, the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) released its finalized list of skills and occupational categories that will receive priority invitations to apply under Canada’s Express Entry system in 2026. For most of 2025 IRCC’s list included only six categories but it has now been revamped to include the newly created category targeting foreign medical doctors with Canadian work experience, which we recently blogged about, as well as four new additions for researchers and senior managers with Canadian work experience, candidates with experience in select transport occupations, and skilled military recruits. In this blog, we will review these major changes to the Express Entry system and let you know what to look out for in the coming months.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Canadian immigration world is not that welcoming these days and it hasn’t been for the past couple of years as our many blogs have discussed. Express Entry (EE) scores are higher than most applicants can meet, draws for EE applicants focus only on in Canada applicants, the business immigration programs have been either shut down (until the end of 2026 for self-employed (SE) applicants) or significantly reduced for Start Up Visa (SUV) applicants, and the TFW program and international students have had caps introduced. Overall there is a tightening of the belt in terms of immigration processing and prospective applicants are feeling the pinch. When people can’t get what they want, they turn to other options and the most obvious choice is the Humanitarian and Compassionate (H and C) application. Spoiler Alert: Here’s more bad news - the H and C application is not meant to solve everyone’s problems.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Since last year in 2024, permanent resident hopefuls have been bombarded with bad news that immigration targets and programs alike are being reduced or cut and wondering how this will affect their chances at qualifying for permanent residence.  It’s now mid-May and this year’s Express Entry statistics show that things are not business as usual with the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Let’s take a quick glance at the Express Entry statistics available so far this year and compare them to the same period in 2024 to see what’s changed in terms of the number and types of invitations to apply (ITA) that have been issued.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<!--:en-->On January 1, 2015 Canada's immigration program was transformed with the introduction of the Express Entry program which restricts applicants to only those selected by the government and offered an "Invitation to Apply" (ITA). The selection process is based upon an applicant's Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS) which allocates points for education, English or French language proficiency, Canadian and foreign work experience as well as that of their spouse. <!--:-->]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<!--:en-->Express Entry is a selection process that is comprised of four separate
permanent resident processing streams:  Federal Skilled Worker (FSW),  Canadian
Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Trades Program(FSTP) and the Provincial Nominee Programs( PNP).   Even before registering in the Express Entry pool, it is necessary to determine that you meet the requirements for one of these programs. <!--:-->]]></description>
