As of March 25, 2025, the government of Canada has removed job offer points from the Comprehensive Ranking System for current and future candidates in the Express Entry pool.
This includes job offers:
- classified under Major Group 00 of the National Occupation Classification (for example, senior management positions) (200 points);
- in any other skilled occupation (50 points).
If having a valid job offer is part of the applicant’s eligibility criteria, this won’t change. This includes:
- the Federal Skilled Trades Program
- the Federal Skilled Worker Program
- some streams under provincial nominee programs
Applicants should still include the details of any job offers in their Express Entry profile so they remain eligible for these programs.
