Exciting Update on Canadian Immigration: LMIA Points Eliminated from Express Entry!

Novus Immigration is thrilled to announce pivotal changes to Canada’s immigration policies that promise a fairer and more streamlined Express Entry process. The Canadian government has made a landmark decision to remove additional points for job offers supported by Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) in the Express Entry system.

Key Update: LMIA Points No Longer Count in Express Entry

·         Applicants will no longer gain extra points for job offers backed by LMIAs.

·         This reform aims to create a more equitable system while minimizing fraudulent practices associated with LMIA approvals.

The Motivation Behind This Change

·         To address the issue of illegally sold LMIA-backed jobs, often at exorbitant prices, which exploit vulnerable applicants.

·         To ensure that Canada’s immigration system operates with greater fairness, integrity, and transparency.

What This Means for Immigrants

·         Temporary residents, such as international students and foreign workers transitioning to Permanent Residency (PR), will now be assessed based on core criteria like education, language skills, and professional experience.

·         The removal of LMIA points places more emphasis on qualifications and personal merit, ensuring a level playing field for all candidates.

LMIA Statistics at a Glance

In the first quarter of 2024, over 71,000 LMIAs were approved for roles across industries including agriculture, transportation, hospitality, and construction. Jobs such as farm workers, cooks, truck drivers, and construction laborers highlight the demand for skilled labor in Canada.
