Key Express Entry Changes Applicable w.e.f. June 06, 2017

The upcoming changes in the express entry will be 2^nd major reform in the system after some crucial changes made in the CRS point calculator last year, i.e. November, 2016. Here are the key changes which will be effective June 06, 2017.

Additional CRS Points to the French Language Skills

Candidates looking to get permanent residency through express entry require showing their proficiency in either English or French language, as these two are official languages in Canada. However, effective June 06, 2017 the candidates having proficiency in the French language, also, more extra points will be awarded to the candidates who also prove their English language skills along with French. Let�s take a look.

As many as 30 additional points will be allocated to the candidates with satisfactory or better proficiency in French language along with English language ability CLB 5 or more.
As many as 15 extra CRS points will allocated to the applicants who will prove satisfactory (i.e. CLB 7) or better proficiency in French language, with English language skills, i.e. CLB 4 or less.

The Test d��valuation de Fran�ais (TEF) is the officially accepted French language ability test, by IRCC for the allocation of additional CRS points.

Additional CRS Points for Siblings in Canada

The express entry applicants, who have their siblings in Canada staying there as Canadian citizens or permanent residents (minimum 18 years of age), will be awarded 15 additional CRS Points in the express entry system, w.e.f. June 06, 2017. The additional CRS points will also be allocated if the applicant�s spouse or common law partner has a sibling staying in Canada as Canadian permanent resident or citizen.

The applicants or their spouses claiming such points must share parents (mother or father) with the Canadian sibling. The sibling relation can be via marriage, adoption, blood, or common law partnership.

Job Bank Registration will be Voluntary for applicants

Registration on Canada Job Bank will be voluntary for the express entry applicants with effect from June, 06. The candidates, who meet the express entry eligibility parameters, will be able to find place in the pool and receive invite if selected in any of the EE draws. However, if they don�t have job ready in Canada an want to trigger their job search, can register in the Job Bank.

Earlier, the candidates, not having a job offer, or provincial nomination, had to compulsorily register for the Job bank to apply for PR via express entry.

Ideal Time to apply for Canadian PR via Express Entry

The Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has really streamlined the express entry system to benefit the more and more skilled workers from overseas. With eased rules and process, it has become relatively simpler to obtain Canadian permanent residency via express entry system.

Visas Avenue proven to be good consultant when it's regarding processing my Canadian pr. To me they were professional and I’m completely satisfied with the accountability they have shown in my case and follow ups they did for me. Rajeshwari.V is my Case Manager for Canada and she did an excellent job in explaining me the whole process/ documents needed and how/where to get them. Finally i got my pr exactly on/before the expected processing time. I knew the whole process and yet I took help of visas avenue as I wanted professionals to fail-proof my application and make sure it cause no extra unnecessary delays and that’s exactly what I got for them. Definitely recommended..!!

Mr. Lenin Reddy

Highly recommend them. This is not my first experience with them, but in fact have got my brother s, bhabhi s and two friend s applications already processed through them. The fees is quite reasonable and transparent and even for a straightforward case, I would recommend going with VA. Special shout out to Vaibhav and Samiksha for standing with me throughout the process. Thanks a ton, guys!""The best thing about Visa Avenues is that when they take up your application, they really get invested in the process. I started off with a 189/190 application but when the application conditions changed, VA advised me to go for 489. This is significant as they normally dont lodge 489 applications, but did it on my behalf as I was already a client. This willingness to go beyond what is strictly required is what I appreciate the most. Further, they are very diligent in going through the requirements and in dotting every i and ticking every t.

Javin Goyal

"Visa Avenues is a superb professional services available for immigration related consulting. They are super prompt, reliable, thorough and provide alternatives if required. My experience is based on working with Samiksha Lal, Vaibhav Saini and Shivangi Arora."
