Top 10 major changes in Canada’s immigration policy in 2017

1. Bonus points for young federal skilled immigrants’ applications. Because the country's population is aging year by year, the country urgently needs more young immigrants in the future, so that they can have more time to work and ensure that the country can operate normally.

2. Points will be deducted for non-Canadian work experience. The government found through a survey that Canadian employers did not value new immigrants' work experience in countries other than Canada, so the government decided to reduce this score.

3. Skilled immigration applicants are required to provide language scores from a third party when submitting their immigration applications, and they need to meet the minimum language requirements of the Department of Immigration. A government survey found that the most important thing for skilled immigrants to succeed in the early stage of immigration is language ability. If the language is passed, it will be easier to succeed in the early stage of immigration.

4. Let employers who hire overseas skills know more about the immigration procedures. The government has held roundtable meetings with employers of skilled immigrants across the country in the past year and found that employers are very ignorant of the process of skilled immigrants. Therefore, the government hopes that employers can learn more about the immigration steps so that they can know how to deal with issues related to overseas workers. A series of questions etc.

5. Re-plan investment and entrepreneur immigration projects. The government hopes that by clarifying the definition of entrepreneurs, more entrepreneurs will choose to come to Canada.

6. Simplify and speed up the labor application procedures and time. The government also plans to re-plan the entire application project.

7. Speed ??up the application time for various immigration applications. The government has decided to use an office software called "global case management system" soon. The use of the software can make the application more electronic and faster. The system is scheduled to be operational within the next two to three years.

8. Update the occupation list for federal skilled immigrants.

9. Expand the application scope of Canadian Experience Class Immigration (cec) and speed up the processing time.

10. Provincial nominee (pnp) immigrants are required to submit language scores, which is planned to be implemented in July this year.
