Canada’s new immigration rules to favour Indian professionals with local work experience

Canada has announced new immigration rules that will prioritize Indian professionals who have Canadian work experience. The changes aim to attract highly skilled workers and address labor shortages in the country.

The new rules, effective immediately, will grant additional points to Express Entry candidates who have at least one year of Canadian work experience in the past 10 years. This is particularly beneficial for Indian professionals who have temporary work permits and are looking to immigrate permanently.

The changes also include a new pathway for temporary residents in Canada to apply for permanent residence, and an increase in the number of invitations issued through the Express Entry system.
