Canada unveils four-pronged approach to re-defining top picks for permanent residence through Express Entry
- Canada is consulting on a four-pronged approach to reshape Express Entry category-based selection for 2027 PR.
- The public survey runs from August 4 to September 1, 2026, and covers H-1B visa holders, researchers, ITAS, and GTS.
- Changes to Express Entry categories could take effect in 2027, with a target of 122,000 PR admissions that year.
- H-1B visa holders, primarily in STEM, are a focus area for potential prioritization under the new categories.
- Researchers are a new focus area, with possible alignment to the Canada Global Impact+ Research Talent Initiative.
