There is a point about EE in this news


Allan Wille, CEO of Klipfolio, was waiting to see if the government was listening to what he needs to help his company grow.

Wille said he's in desperate need of highly skilled talent that he can't always find in Ottawa or Canada. But he said the current immigration process is at odds with today's innovation agenda.

The previously announced Global Skills Strategy to help expedite the immigration process for highly skilled workers now has some numbers attached in Budget 2017:

an additional $7.8 million over two years to implement a new Global Talent Stream.

an amendment to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to ensure the express entry system is responsive to labour market needs.



This news is hinting towards the possible amandment that is coming in EE system which will make it more responsive to labour market needs.

Now what will be the change in this system what you guys think?

1. EE may be made NOC specific ! But before EE paper based immigration system was NOC based with a cap limit so whats the point going back to NOC based system and some PNPs are also NOC based.

2. May be few bonus points for the applicant with exp in in-demand NOC like tech field.

3. Or is it just a heat of a moment speech and nothing will happen.

I doubt that there will be caps, I think certain NOCs will get addition work experience points in the CRS.

I wouldn't worry about this for now. There are no concrete plans here. Even if they do decide to implement this, it will take several months before this can be approved. I wouldn't expect anything this year.

Or there will be some relaxation of LMIA rule for them so employer can Hire them because they need overseas talent directly from abroad.
