After the re-election, followed by his appointment, Fraser has indicated his priorities. He will focus on "job creation and economic development, a healthy environment, social justice, and will ensure that Canada does right by the world."

As a new Immigration Minister, he will be at the forefront in securing a new NAFTA deal with Mexico and the US. NAFTA, i.e., the North American Free Trade Agreement, proffer unique work opportunities in Canada for the US and Mexico citizens.

A ray of hope for Federal Skilled Workers

Followed by Fraser's appointment, we expect that there could be a divergence from the typical Express Entry draw scenario. All the Federal Skilled Workers are anxiously waiting for the next all-program invitations round, and they might get a chance.
