Advantage for International Students Under the Canada Express Entry

Thanks to the latest update from IRCC, Express Entry candidates will now be eligible for Canadian educational credential points for online programs between March 2020 and August 2022.

Usually, online education does not count for CRS points if more than 50% of the program was completed through distance learning. 

The latest Express Entry reform relaxes evaluating rules for candidates who studied online during the pandemic. 

The report reads the new measure applies to those who earned a Canadian degree, diploma, or certificate online during the eligibility period – March 2020 and August 2022. 

These candidates may now be eligible for CRS points even if the program was entire: completed online, from outside Canada, or through part-time studies.

Additionally, thousands of expired PGWP holders can extend their open work permit status by 18 months. This will also help them transition to permanent residence and will allow them to continue working in Canada while they wait.
