IRCC has released detailed mechanics for the updated Comprehensive Ranking System, introducing new points for Canadian work experience and high-wage job offers starting November 3, 2026.
Review your Express Entry profile before November 3 to ensure your work experience details are accurate and categorized correctly under the new wage tiers.
If you have a job offer, confirm with your employer whether it meets the criteria for the new LMIA-exempt workaround to avoid processing delays.
Prepare for a temporary pause in Express Entry invitations by ensuring your documentation is ready for submission once the system restarts.
Verify that your wage information is correctly inputted to maximize your points under the new, higher-value scoring system.
