Express Entry changes on November 3, 2026: new CRS points for high-wage jobs
Since November 3, 2026, Express Entry gives up to 150 CRS points (140 with a spouse) through a new Labour Market Integration factor. You receive the higher of two options: your Canadian work experience points plus 20, 40 or 70 extra points for at least 12 months in a high-wage occupation, or 50, 70 or 100 points for a qualifying job offer in a high-wage occupation. An LMIA is no longer required for a qualifying job offer.

To hire most foreign workers, an Ontario employer needs a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). Jobs paying $36.92 an hour or more in Ontario go through the high-wage stream; lower-paid jobs go through the low-wage stream, which ESDC generally refuses to process in cities like Toronto where unemployment is 6% or higher.

To keep permanent resident status you must be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days (two years) in every five-year period. The days do not need to be continuous. You can renew your PR card when it expires within nine months, or if it has already expired, as long as you meet the residency obligation.

Yes, a DUI (impaired driving) conviction can make you inadmissible to Canada, and since December 18, 2018 it is treated as serious criminality.

A humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) application asks IRCC to grant permanent residence to someone who does not fit a regular program, because of their ties to Canada, the best interests of a child, or the hardship they would face if they had to leave. It is a discretionary, exceptional remedy, so evidence is everything.
