Australia jobs and skill summit to make immigration easier

Australia skilled migration program fy 2022-23, is open for offshore applicants

Jennifer Westacott told that the permanent migration program should be boosted to at least two-thirds of the places for skilled workers. Westacott talked about providing better information to the visa holders. She also talked about setting a high bar to impose tough penalties for exploitation.

She said that the summit will provide a chance for resetting the long-term migration program. She also said that the summit will lead to manage the challenge of labour shortage. Besides making preferred changes to the migration program, the council will also make recommendations to enhance the capabilities of the domestic workers.

This will include the digital skills sharing record that will be used to track the training of the workers and their credentials that they have achieved in their careers. This will also help in increasing the funds for vocational training.

Another recommendation of the council is the improvement of the schooling system so that students who study in Australia can be prepared to work in Australia or anywhere else. The council also talks about increasing the speed of visa processing. This can be done by relaxing the eligibility criteria.

The federal government has informed that shortage in staff has led to an increase in the backlog of visa applications. Currently, there is a backlog of more than 100,000 visa applications that are to be processed. The summit will be held on Thursday and Friday.

What Express Entry changes to expect in 2025?

Highlights: Changes to Canada’s Express Entry System in 2025

  • IRCC is set to implement new changes to Canada's Express Entry system in 2025.
  • According to the latest changes, Express Entry candidates with a valid job offer will no longer receive CRS points.
  • The Federal government will increase the overall admission targets to 124,590 for the federal economic programs.
  • The Federal High Skilled Allocations will be replaced by two new categories: Federal Economic Priorities and In-Canada Focus.

*Want to apply for Canada Express Entry? Let Y-Axis guide you with the process.

 

Changes that will affect the Express Entry System in 2025

Given below are some of the major changes that will impact the Express Entry system this year, in 2025:

 

Increase in the Immigration Targets  

The Express Entry system will increase the immigration targets this year. The admissions for the Federal economic programs will be increased to 124,590. However, the overall immigration levels will decrease by 20% compared to 2024. The overall PR admissions under the Federal High-Skilled (FHS) allocation will also increase to 31.5%. With all the above changes, the Express Entry pathway is set to play a major role for skilled workers looking to migrate to Canada through the program.

 

“NO” CRS points for Job offers

The Canadian Immigration Minister announced the removal of CRS points for Express Entry applicants with a job offer. The announcement was made in December 2024 and will be effective starting in the spring of this year. Until the new rule is implemented, candidates can score up to 50-200 additional points under the Express Entry program for having a legit job offer. However, removing the extra points may result in a drop in the CRS scores of most candidates. Express Entry applicants can score points on other factors such as age, work experience, language proficiency, etc.

The table below shows the subcategories, the total number of allocations, and the candidates that will be accepted under each of these categories:

Candidates who receive nominations under category-based selections meet Canada's labor market needs and demographic goals. Priority would be given to the Healthcare and Trade occupations and French language proficiency.         

 

 

More Priority to be given to Category-based selections

This year, the IRCC aims to focus on category-based selections that are aligned with Canada's labor market priorities. The IRCC has set the below categories as a priority for the Immigration Levels Plan of 2025-2027:

  • Healthcare occupations
  • Trades occupations
  • French-language proficiency

IRCC will likely hold more draws targeting the above categories, focusing equally on the French language proficiency category. The overall immigrant admissions for the French category will be set at 8.5% and 9.5% in 2025 and 2026, respectively.  

 

The six main categories for the Express Entry category-based draws are as follows:

CRA will announce the major notices and updates via the My Business Account Portal. This will be applicable for existing and new business registrations as well as businesses represented via the “Represent a Client” service. Candidates must make sure to keep their email address up-to-date in “My Business Account” to receive updates on time.

Candidates earning between CAD 71, 300 and CAD 81,200 are subjected to CPP2. The payroll system should be updated by both employers and employees so that the new changes would show.

Enhanced Digital Services: The digital platforms are being upgraded to improve user experience for businesses. The new changes include improved navigation and layout of the ‘My Business Account’ and ‘Represent a Client’ Portal, new notification for account changes and payments. The updates also include tools like the Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) Self-Assessment Tool to ease the process of claiming tax credits.

 

Updates to Filing Information Returns: Starting from January 2025, candidates submitting tax returns must follow the updated guidelines, which include limiting submissions to a single type of return and notifying businesses in case of discrepancies before filing.

 

Administrative Relief for T4/T4A Reporting: Candidates who do not have a dental coverage plan under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) can now keep the box for T4 and T4A slips unchecked for 2024 tax year. However, entrepreneurs must make sure to update their payroll systems for these changes to show.
