00:57Canada's immigration system is seeing a dramatic shift,

01:07with over 9,000 invitations to apply issued under Express Entry in just 28 days.

01:41Let's begin with recent Express Entry draws.

01:44Numbers and Concerns

01:47IRCC issued 9,000 ITAs in under a month,

01:51largely under the Canadian Experience class.

01:54But concern arose when the 500-1 to 600-CRS score pool

01:59grew by 2,500-plus profiles,

02:03despite fewer LMIA-linked point boosts.

02:06Next, we explore rising pool scores and concurrent work claims.

02:19Applicants are using concurrent foreign and Canadian work experience

02:22to increase CRS scores.

02:25While controversial and possibly risky,

02:27it's impacting the pool dynamics significantly.

02:30Moving on to 2025 to 2026 Immigration Target Impacts.

02:40IRCC appears to be issuing ITAs for 2025 PR targets,

02:45which are lower than 2024s.

02:47This may reduce the number of draws and ITAs in the coming months,

02:51especially with PNP quotas halved to 55,000 in 2024.

02:56Then, we examine category-based draws and PNP quotas.

03:05Category-specific draws, e.g., French-speaking, STEM, healthcare,

03:09may reduce general CEC draw frequency,

03:12further slowing CRS score drops.

03:17Following that, we look at proof of funds and PGWP confusion.

03:21Confusion over PGWP rules continues as IRCC reverted recent changes

03:26to eligible study programs.

03:28Next, we discuss Quebec's sponsorship freeze and national labour shifts.

03:32Quebec has paused spousal sponsorships until 2026.

03:36Next, we discuss Quebec's sponsorship freeze and national labour shifts.

03:40Quebec has paused spousal sponsorships until 2026.

03:43Meanwhile, colleges are cutting jobs, raising questions about international student numbers and labour shortages.

03:57Finally, we wrap up with the conclusion.

04:01Canada's immigration path remains open, but more complex.

04:08With CRS scores staying above 510 and PNP quotas reduced, strategic planning is essential.

04:16Stay updated, improve your CRS score, and prepare documents early.
