There is currently a labour and skills shortage in Canada, and the points-based selection system for Express Entry programs is being upgraded to address this issue. Changes to the process will be made next year to keep Canada’s immigration system responsive and the economy on track. It is unclear how the selection tools will change, but the system will adapt to meet severe labour shortages in areas like healthcare and construction. The current selection process for Immigrant workers accepts those who often work below their actual education, skill levels and abilities, which leaves Canadian employers struggling to find qualified employees for many positions.
