Did you know that Express Entry is changing in 2023?
According to IRCC, Express Entry will change in the first quarter of 2023.
Rather than using CRS scores, draws will be based on education, work experience, and language skills.
What are these changes for?
By making these changes IRCC strives to improve the work search process in order to fill Canada’s most in-demand occupations.
Additionally, together with industry representatives, IRCC is also developing new categories.
