Hi Reader,

Happy Sunday! Halloween is next Saturday, and October is nearly behind us. Whether you’re planning costumes, stocking up on treats or enjoying the fall colours, I hope you have a little time for yourself this weekend.
​
Here’s your immigration catch-up before you get on with your Sunday.

⚡ This Week in Canadian Immigration: 30-second summary

• Express Entry - November 3 CRS changes: IRCC expects profile recalculation to take up to two weeks, with draws paused during that process.
• 1700+ PNP invitations from Manitoba , Alberta and B.C.
• IEC: The 2026 pools are now closed. Candidates with invitations can still submit their applications within their deadlines.

Provincial Nominee Program updates

• October 20, Alberta: 386 invitations | Express Entry Priority Sectors (General) | Minimum provincial score 60

Express Entry: getting ready for November 3

There were no new Express Entry rounds this week. As covered last week, the upcoming CRS changes will affect how eligible Canadian work experience and qualifying job offers are scored.

If you’ve been comparing your score with recent cut-offs, remember that the scoring system is about to change. Check how the new rules apply to your occupation and work history before assuming where you’ll stand.
