🗳️ 3 November ends the LMIA as the gatekeeper for Express Entry job offers. Instead, an IRCC officer will decide whether your offer is genuine, checking that the employer actively runs the business, can meet the terms of the offer and follows employment and recruitment laws. Reply with A if officers should judge job offers, or B if the LMIA should stay. Share this with someone planning to move abroad

📊 Express Entry is about to reward your occupation, not your salary. From 3 November, a job counts as high wage only if its median pay across Canada is at least 1.3 times the national median, based on 2023 to 2025 data. A well paid worker in a lower wage occupation gets nothing extra. Engineers and doctors gain, while general draw cut-offs may rise for everyone else. If your occupation is not on the list, review category draws and provincial routes. Share this with someone planning to move abroad

💬 Only 7 of the 25 trades occupations in Express Entry category draws made IRCC’s new high wage list, compared with 8 of 11 STEM occupations. The list covers 186 occupations in total and starts on 3 November, so your NOC code can decide your extra points. If you work in a trade, have you checked your code against the list?
