Impact Of 2019 Canada's Federal Election On Immigration And Express Entry
23 May 2019
Canadian Citizens will head to the polls in Oct 2019 to choose a new federal government, which could make modifications to the current immigration policies of Canada.
Three significant political parties of Canada — the Conservative Party of Canada, the governing Liberals, and the New Democratic Party (N.D.P) — are all on the record as being in economic immigration favor, but there are variations in their approach to the problem that could influence the policy of immigration.
Below the Liberals, immigration policies of Canada have taken a direction that sets them in more stark contrast to the contemporary policies of the USA and several European nations.
Chief with their policies was the selection of enhanced immigration targets that would view Canada welcome higher than 1 million new permanent residents by the close of 2021 and accelerate the country’s rate of immigration to approximately 1% of its population.
In their 04 years in office, the Liberals have also begun essential changes to the Federal
Express Entry system, which controls the pool of applicants for three of Canada’s primary categories of economic immigration —
Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class, and Federal Skilled Worker Class.
Since taking control in end of 2015, the Liberals have managed a dramatic rise in the invitations to appeal number for Canadian PR, announced through the Federal Express Entry system from 33,782 in the year 2016 to 86,023 in the year 2017 and 89,800 in the year 2018.
Significant Changes by Liberals
The Liberals have also presented notable changes to Comprehensive Ranking System (C.R.S) that defines a position of the candidate in the pool of Express Entry, namely the drop of additional points given for an employment offer.
While a job offer is not mandatory to be qualified below Express Entry, the Conservatives’ original CRS compensated applicants with a Labour Market Impact Assessment (L.M.I.A) backed job offer with an extra 600 CRS points — completely guaranteeing an invitation to appeal for Canadian PR despite their core C.R.S score.
In late 2016, the Liberals decreased the points granted for a job offer to a maximum of 200.
This has helped applicants with higher human capital scores, which covers age od applicant, knowledge in English and French, education, and work experience in a skilled profession. Combined, they produce what is known as a applicants core CRS score, which can attain a maximum of 600 points.
The report revealed that ITAs to
Federal Skilled Worker Class applicants surged by almost 400% in 2017 gratefulness to the Liberals’ aimed changes to the C.R.S.
