Canada eliminates CRS points for job offers in LMIA Express Entry, makes major policy change to prevent immigration fraud

  
  
Share
  In a significant policy change today, Canada Immigration has removed the additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points previously awarded to Express Entry candidates with work permit job offers, including points supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The change, effective March 25, 2025, aims to crack down on immigration fraud and level the playing field for candidates. Under the new ministerial directives, Express Entry candidates will no longer receive the 50 or 200 bonus CRS points associated with managed employment. This will significantly reduce the scores of many candidates who previously benefited from job offers. For years in Canada, managed employment has given candidates a major advantage in the Express Entry pool. For example, a candidate with a base score of 480 could increase their CRS by 50 or 200 points with an LMIA-supported job offer, greatly increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence. With these numbers removed, such candidates may now struggle to meet the cut-off. The government has received complaints of major shortcomings in the work permit system in recent years. There have been reports of international students being exploited by their companies for large sums of money from workers who came on work permits.
