Removal of Job Offer Points

Effective March 25, 2025, IRCC will be implementing changes to the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) for both the current candidates in the Express Entry pool and future applicants.

This applies to all candidates who have job offers and can be awarded points as follows:

200 points: For job offers in occupations classified under Major Group 00 of the National Occupation Classification matrix (e.g., senior management positions), or
50 points: For job offers in any other skilled occupations.

If your Express Entry profile currently includes a qualifying job offer, please note that the additional CRS points associated with this factor will be removed. Although this change will officially take effect on March 25, 2025, it may take a few days for your CRS points to be updated accordingly in your profile.

If you do not currently have a qualifying job offer, please be aware that you will no longer be able to gain additional CRS points for this factor as of March 25, 2025.

This change will not affect your eligibility to remain in the pool, and no action is required on your part. If you have an active Invitation To Apply (ITA), that has not expired or been declined, you are not affected by this change and will remain eligible that specific round of invitation
