Canada’s federal fast track will resume invitations next month. There have been multiple reports that the restored fast track may adopt a new invitation model .
Recently, Canadian Immigration News (CIC News) conducted an exclusive interview with Immigration Minister Sean Fraser, in which he talked about the reform of the Express Entry system. The Canadian government is currently promoting a new bill to allow the immigration minister to invite specific Express Entry candidates based on Canada's economic needs.
The new bill is code-named C-19. Currently, the bill has entered the Senate review stage.
Once passed, it will give the Immigration Minister the right to prioritize Express Entry applications based on occupation, language proficiency, intended destination or any group of candidates who can support Canada's economic needs.

Minister’s Interview
In an exclusive interview this week, Canada’s Immigration Minister said that he very much hopes that the bill can pass the Senate smoothly and be implemented as soon as possible.
He believes that while Express Entry has given Canada a competitive edge for talent, there is still room for improvement.
"Currently, where the Express Entry system can be improved is that we are unable to select candidates based on labor market demand skills."
"As an example, let's say that Express Entry has a large number of candidates concentrated in a specific field, but that field is in Canada If there is no high demand, the Express Entry system may bring in new immigrants who do not fully meet Canada’s economic needs.” categories).
major categories refer to Federal Skilled Worker Immigration (FSWP), Experience Class Immigration (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Immigration (FSTP) and Provincial Nominee Skilled Worker Immigration (PNP).
The establishment of the sub-category is entirely decided by the Minister of Immigration. The sub-category can be a French-speaking candidate, a candidate from a remote area, or even a separate occupational category.
The new bill emphasizes that even if you are in the EE sub-category, candidates need to first meet the entry conditions for any of the three categories of FSW/CEC/FST.
Subsequent impact
The new bill is still under review, and it will take some time before it takes effect.
The most direct impact of the introduction of the on-demand invitation category is that the regular Express Entry quota will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, the introduction of the new policy is not good news for those applicants who do not match Canada's in-demand occupations.
Compared with the past annual quota of about 100,000 people, the Express Entry quota (Federal High Skilled) in 2022 and 2023 is only 55,900 and 75,750.
In addition, EE has stopped inviting invitations for a long time, and there is a backlog of high-scoring candidates in the candidate pool. After EE reopens, regular applicants (CEC/FSW) may need a CRS score of around 500 points to be invited.
500 points
Applicants under the age of 129 + three years of overseas work experience + overseas master's degree + IELTS 8777 = 469 points
html Applicants under the age of 129 + three years of overseas work experience + overseas master's degree + one year of Canadian work experience + IELTS 8777 = 509 points
Applicants under the age of 29 + two years of Canadian work experience + Canadian local master's degree + IELTS 8777 = 502 points
Applicants under the age of 29 + one year of overseas work experience + one year of Canadian work experience + overseas master's degree + IELTS 8777 = 497 points
- 9 Applicants under 20 years old + two years of Canadian work experience + local Canadian undergraduate degree + IELTS 8777 = 500 points
It can be seen that applicants with purely overseas backgrounds, even with a master's degree, can only get 469 points.
Applicants with a Canadian undergraduate degree also need at least two years of work experience and IELTS 8777 to get 500 points.
However, the express lane has never been the main track for Chinese immigrant customers.
Even if the Express Entry invitation score cannot be reached, the Provincial Nominee Employer Guarantee Program can still meet everyone’s immigration needs.
