What does this mean

7 (1) Paragraph 18(2)(b) of the Instructions is replaced by the following:

(b) the foreign national must provide, with respect to their spouse or common-law partner’s first official language, the results of a language test that is approved under subsection 74(3) of the Regulations and provided by an institution or organization designated under that subsection

The biggest changes appear to be on the LMIA front (200/50 instead of 600) and Canadian educational credentials. This will shake up the pool on the higher end - not much of a difference to those below 400.

The LMIA points reduction could also make it worthwhile for those applicants to get an ECA as every point would count. Else they would also likely be stuck in 400s.

Does it mean an addition 30 points for Canadian degrees of Bachelors and above?

"Canadian educational credentials
30 (1) The points that are to be assigned for a Canadian educational credential are the following:

(a) 0 points, if the foreign national has a secondary school educational credential;
(b) 15 points, if the foreign national has an eligible credential from a one-year or two-year post-secondary program; and
(c) 30 points, if the foreign national has
(i) an eligible credential from a post-secondary program of three years or more,
(ii) an eligible credential from a university-level program at the master’s level or at the level of an entry-to-practice professional degree for an occupation listed in the National Occupational Classification matrix at Skill Level A for which licensing by a provincial regulatory body is required, or
(iii) an eligible credential from a university-level program at the doctoral level."

Ok, initial panic over. This all seems quite reasonable really. Of course have to see exactly how everyone is looking and wait for the draws to come in... but the student scores are fair.

There will be a flood of people who will get a lot more points, which is great news. But not so great if they put the cap at 520 points like it used to be. This addition of 40 or so points would mean nothing then.

Just a change in words. Nothing changes on spouse's language scores.

This actually levels it out more. A 380 person with a lmia got 980 and an instant ITA. Now they will only get 430 points etc... so there will be students above the average 450 and lmia below the average

Still confused with how they have distributed the 400 points from LMIA? If LMIA points are 200 now, where are the remaining 400 points?
