New Express Entry ranking system will be applied on Nov 19th (detail inside!)

[navi9]

Previously, qualifying job offers supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment were worth 600 points under the CRS. As of November 19, there will be new ways of being awarded either 50 or 200 points without the need to obtain a LMIA (though points will continue to be awarded to individuals with a new or existing LMIA)

what does this exactly mean? 50 or 200 points with out need to obtain LMIA

When it comes to siblings.. I don't understand why points will be added for EE which is meant to be for economic immigration. Every point in the current CRS reflect on the individual's qualifications and how that individual can be a positive force in the economy. Having a sibling in Canada is nice to have, but from an economic perspective it makes no difference. Family reunification should fall under family sponsorship. If they really want to reunite siblings I think it will be outside of EE.

Don't get me wrong I have 3 siblings in Canada and they are all way closer than I am in getting their PRs (my brother is waiting to hear back about his PR application), so these changes could potentially help me a lot if I don't get an ITA.

Will it be another draw before 19th?

I just updated my profile w/ LMIA... if it changes to 50 points, My point will be +/-450...

how unlucky i am..

It means you will get 200 points for a 00 job and 50 points for a noc 0 A or B job with lmia. There's no 600 points for lmia anymore.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this means Post-Grad Work Permit people will not get the points for arranged employment, right?

You're right - unless PGWP holders get LMIA-supported job offers or they fall under NAFTA or Intra-Company Transfer categories.

When you carefully read liberal plan PDF file you can see reducing barriers for Canadian experience class is carefully described but the changes are much more there to come.

I think it concerns giving credit for time spent for purpose of citizenship.

And whom do we need to write/e-mail with regards to siblings question? The minister of immigration himself?)

Start the letter "Dear Santa, I have been very good this year and called my Canadian brother LOTS..."

Just wait for next gazette notice regarding fostering family reunification.

For this I don't know and was not curious to search as I don't have Siblings who is Canadian/PR.

But I believe you can contact a local MP of where the sibling reside in Canada; you can tell the sibling in Canada to contact his/her respective MP.

Honestly I don't know too much.

Kryt0n might guide you!

Only cic knows. No one can give you a definite answer. If I say yes, would you believe that?

Do you think there are people on this forum who would get the three bonus points for these things all together: Canadian education, Sibling and French!
