Breaking News: Canada’s Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced a major policy shift effective March 25, 2025.
The Express Entry system, a cornerstone of Canada’s immigration framework, will no longer award bonus Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points for arranged employment.
This change strips away a significant advantage for candidates with job offers, potentially reshaping the path to permanent residence (PR) for thousands of hopeful immigrants.
What’s Happening with Express Entry?
As of March 25, 2025, IRCC has officially eliminated the bonus CRS points previously awarded to Express Entry candidates with a valid job offer supported by a labour market impact assessment (LMIA).
This change applies to both current candidates in the Express Entry pool and future applicants.
200 additional CRS points for job offers in senior management positions (classified under Major Group 00 of the National Occupation Classification, or NOC).
50 additional CRS points for job offers in any other skilled occupation.
These bonus points significantly changed the game, frequently propelling candidates to the top of the pool and securing them an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
In a press release dated December 23, 2024, IRCC described the removal of these points as a “temporary measure” but offered no timeline for when—or if—the policy might revert.
The March 25, 2025, version of the Ministerial Instructions reflects this shift, retaining all definitions of what qualifies as a valid job offer but excising the section that assigned points for them.
For candidates relying on these points, the change is immediate.
IRCC has noted that CRS scores may take “a few days” to update in the system, advising applicants to refrain from contacting them unless inaccuracies persist beyond a week.
