Canada’s Immigration Plans for 2025
Since mid-2024, IRCC has been focusing on candidates already living in Canada, making it easier for temporary workers and international students to become permanent residents.
With Prime Minister Mark Carney and new Immigration Minister Rachel Bendayan in office, this trend is expected to continue. While no official immigration mandate has been released yet, past statements suggest that prioritizing in-Canada applicants will remain a key strategy.
What Becomes of Your Express Entry Profile After One Year?
Your Express Entry profile stays active for one year. Once it expires, you’ll have to submit another application if you still want to apply. A tip: Save your previous application details so you can quickly re-enter the information when you apply again.
Also, remember the tie-breaking rule. If multiple candidates have the same CRS score, IRCC invites those who submitted their profiles earlier. So, if you met the cut-off score but didn’t get an invitation, it could be because of when you applied.
Final Thoughts
Canada is committed to welcoming more French-speaking immigrants. If you’re in the Express Entry pool, staying informed and improving your profile can increase your chances of getting an invitation.
