Express Entry Reforms: IRCC's Proposal On The New Immigration Program & CRS Revamp

IRCC recently announced plans to revamp the Express Entry system entirely, including replacing the existing economic immigration programs with one Federal High-Skilled Immigration Class and sweeping changes to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

Although public consultations on this have not started yet, we have a source that has given us access to a copy of an Internal IRCC draft discussion paper which provides more details on the proposed Express Entry reforms.

Here's what we know so far.

Key Takeaways

• The proposed eligibility for the Federal High Skill Immigration Program is at least a high school diploma, one year of TEER 0-3 work experience in the last 3 years, and language scores of CLB/NCLC 6.
