Express Entry – A New Immigration Recruitment Model To Launch January 2015

November 24, 2014 – The Government of Canada is preparing to transform Canada's immigration program with "Express Entry", a new immigration recruitment model. With an expected launch in early 2015, many questions remain about how the new model will impact businesses and foreign workers currently in Canada.

What we do know is that the new model will replace the current applicant driven "first come, first serve" model with an active recruitment model. Canadian employers will be invited to identify priority applicants from a pool of candidates.  It is expected that this will result in an immigration program that is more responsive to Canadian business needs while reducing processing times.
