Canada Express Entry 2025 Updates & Trends
On February 27th, 2025, The Honorable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, announced important updates to Canada’s Express Entry system. One of the most notable changes is the introduction of an education category. This new category aims to better align the selection of federal economic immigrants with Canada’s evolving labor market needs, reflecting the government’s commitment to addressing workforce shortages in critical sectors.
Starting in 2025, Canada will be redefining its immigration priorities, with a stronger focus on individuals who already have work experience in Canada. Federal economic class draws will now prioritize the Canadian Experience Class, making it easier for those with direct, relevant work experience in Canada to obtain permanent residency.
