On March 25, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) eliminated the additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points previously awarded for job offers in the Express Entry system. This change, announced through updated Ministerial Instructions, means candidates will no longer receive the 50 or 200 bonus points for valid job offers, even those supported by Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA). While this measure is temporary, IRCC has not specified an end date. The change does not affect those who have already received invitations to apply or have pending PR applications.
