This article on Canada expanding Express Entry for skilled workers is highly informative and relevant for individuals looking to immigrate to Canada. I have a few questions that come to mind after reading this. How will the increase in invitations affect the overall competition among skilled workers? Additionally, how will the change impact the processing times for applications? Will any adjustments be made to ensure a timely and efficient evaluation process?Expanding Express Entry is a positive step towards meeting the demand for skilled workers in Canada. With more invitations issued, Canada presents more opportunities for deserving individuals globally to fulfil their dreams of living and working.
Hi Liam,
Yes, there will be more competition among the skilled workers and processing times might be impacted, but since they will be applying to the express entry platform, it will still be faster than the non-express entry applications.
For sure, these skilled workers who want to come to Canada to migrate are given the chance to have their dreams fulfilled sooner.
With regards to a timely and efficient evaluation process, Canada Immigration is always improving on this, too.
