A recent analysis of the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) argues that Canada’s use of age-based criteria is an outdated policy that contradicts national values regarding non-discrimination.
Under current regulations, applicants receive zero points for age if they are over 45, a practice critics compare to prohibited forms of bias in employment.
Research indicates that the assumption of older immigrants being a burden on social services is empirically incorrect, as pension benefits are tied to years of Canadian contributions, and newcomers often under-utilize healthcare services.
Proponents of the change suggest that removing these barriers would better align the points system with merit-based principles and help rectify contradictions between valuing experience while penalizing the time required to gain it.

Conservative members of the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration have called for the firing of Immigration Minister Lena Diab following her testimony regarding widespread fraud in Canada’s international student program.
The committee highlighted Auditor General findings showing that 14 percent of over 150,000 individuals who entered the country fraudulently have since filed asylum claims, while the whereabouts of another 33,600 remain unknown.
During the hearing, Minister Diab faced criticism for her inability to confirm if specific fraud cases had resulted in deportations or to identify educational institutions barred for non-compliance.
Opposition members argued that the government's lack of a functioning exit tracking system proves they have lost control of the immigration files, directly challenging the Prime Minister's recent assertions of system integrity.

The Government of Canada has announced a significant update regarding the regulations governing immigration and citizenship consultants.
Effective July 15, 2026, the new measures empower the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants to implement more rigorous disciplinary actions and increased penalties for misconduct.
Key updates include expanded reporting requirements, a more transparent public register of licensed consultants set for 2027, and the establishment of clear guidelines for a compensation fund to aid victims of financial loss.
These reforms aim to ensure that individuals seeking to move to Canada have access to reliable, accountable, and high-quality legal representation.
