There is currently a labour and skills shortage in Canada, and the points-based selection system for Express Entry programs is being upgraded to address this issue.
Changes to the process will be made next year to keep Canada's immigration system responsive and the economy on track.
It is unclear how the selection tools will change, but the system will adapt to meet severe labour shortages in areas like healthcare and construction.
The current selection process for Immigrant workers accepts those who often work below their actual education, skill levels and abilities, which leaves Canadian employers struggling to find qualified employees for many positions.

Quebec is considering creating a new immigration program to speed up the process of getting permanent residency for francophone immigrants already living in Quebec.
The new immigration program would mainly focus on graduates from CEGEP colleges and universities who speak French and temporary workers who have been living in Quebec for a while.
As Quebec endeavours to preserve and grow the use of French in the province, this program will help them advance that objective by prioritizing francophone immigrants.

To ease impending labour shortages, Canada will begin hosting targeted Express Entry draws specifically for skilled workers starting next year.
Immigration Minister Sean Fraser explained that targeted draws would allow the government to select workers by the sector and the location they intend to live in Canada.
Immigration Minister also stated his intention to work with provinces to simplify the process of foreign credential recognition for doctors and nurses.
This way, healthcare workers will be more efficiently employed under a specific skilled worker program targeting areas where demand is high.
