#workvisa

IRCC invited 7,500 candidates in a French language proficiency draw. The minimum CRS score was 379, the lowest since February 2024. Candidates needed to submit profiles before March 6, 2025.

This was the week's second draw and the month's fourth. So far, 30,683 ITAs have been issued in 2025. Canada continues prioritizing in-Canada applicants. Prime Minister Mark Carney supports this approach, though no mandate letter has been issued.

Express Entry profiles expire after a year. Candidates must submit new profiles to remain in the pool. The tie-breaking rule affects selection based on submission timing.

The policy change follows Trump's promise of mass deportations. The US aims to limit immigration, especially from Latin America. The affected program allowed 30,000 migrants per month.

Canada denied 2.36 million temporary resident visa applications in 2024, marking a 50% rejection rate. Visitor visas faced the highest refusals, with 1.95 million applications rejected.

The refusal rate for study permits hit 52%, partly due to fraud concerns. Work permit rejections were lower at 22%. Stricter policies aim to cut temporary residents from 6.5% to 5% by 2026.

The government seeks to ease pressure on housing and healthcare. However, sectors like education and construction may suffer. Canada's new immigration approach remains uncertain, affecting many seeking entry.
