IRCC has quietly removed the 50 and 200 CRS points for arranged employment from their official CRS calculator — a clear sign that this change is being rolled out in the backend before it’s reflected in Express Entry profiles or officially announced.
Previously, candidates with a valid job offer could claim:
- 50 points for NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 roles
- 200 points for senior-level NOC 00 positions
These points gave many applicants a major CRS boost. With their removal, the playing field shifts — especially in favor of those relying on other factors like work experience, education, or category-based selection.
At the time of writing, job offer points are still visible inside Express Entry profiles, but they no longer appear in the CRS calculator — suggesting this change is already being implemented in stages.
We expect an official announcement from IRCC shortly.
Keep an eye out — we’ll share updates as soon as they’re released.
