Were you dissatisfied by the old “First-come-first-serve” programme for immigration to Canada? Were you looking for an overhaul of the programme? Does your past experience have compelled you to think twice about Canada? Well, if you answer all these questions in affirmative, you will be happy to know that the dreadful times are over.

The immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the body governing the immigration, has taken bold steps to ensure that transparent immigration can happen in the Canadian soil. For the very first time, there have been some unprecedented changes in the Canadian immigration policies.

The Express Entry Points Calculator for Canada is one of the prime aspects that have been driving the immigration for the folks.

If you are planning to use the Express Entry programme for movement, you can take a dig at the Points Calculator for Canada.
