Canada has announced significant changes to its Express Entry system that may result in new challenges for Indian job seekers. The changes are expected to go into effect in the spring of 2025.
According to the statement issued by the Canadian government, candidates applying for permanent residency (PR) will no longer get additional points for their job offers. The move is introduced to help curb fraudulent immigration.
&ldquo;We are taking important steps to reduce fraud while continuing to attract the skilled talent our economy needs,&rdquo; said Marc Miller, Canada's Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Immigration has always been a cornerstone of Canada's success, and we remain committed to welcoming the best and brightest to Canada so that everyone has access to the quality jobs, homes and supports they need to thrive,&rdquo; he added.
<h2>What is Canada&rsquo;s Express Entry system?</h2>
The Canadian government allows skilled workers to apply for PR through online applications. Under the current Express Entry system, applicants having job offers can earn an additional 50 or even 200 points in the comprehensive ranking system (CRS), helping them secure PR more easily.

<h2>How will the change impact applicants?</h2>
If the CRS points are removed, candidates pursuing Canadian PR through the Express Entry system will not get an advantage even if they have a job offer, including those who are presently working in the country temporarily.
&ldquo;Once the change is introduced, it will apply to all candidates with job offers in the pool as well as new candidates entering the pool,&rdquo; the government said.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, the new rules will not be applicable to those who have already been invited to apply for PR with a CRS score, including jobs and those whose applications for PR to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are currently under process.

Canada amends Express Entry system, likely to impact Indian aspirants

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has reportedly lost support among his core Liberal allies since the shocking exit of Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland last week.

A number of Canadian media outlets, including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Toronto Star, have reported that at least 51 MPs from Ontario province, the country’s most populous, recently met virtually and agreed to show Trudeau the exit door.

The Ontario chapter of the Liberal party boasts 75 members, and dwindling support in the province translates to serious political trouble for the prime minister.

<h2>Freeland’s exit: The last straw</h2>

Discontent over Trudeau’s leadership had been building up over the months but looks like Freeland’s rude exit is snowballing into the final straw for the Canadian leader. Just within a week, at least 21 Liberal MPs have publicly urged Trudeau to step down.

Toronto Star has reported that none of the Ontario MPs have supported Trudeau to remain in the leading role for next year’s elections.

Meanwhile, Quebec Liberal MP Anthony Housefather was quoted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as saying that the “vast majority” of fellow MPs he is speaking to believe Trudeau should resign, “whether they’ve gone public or not.”

The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, is facing increasing pressure to step down, and this pressure is coming from more of his own party lawmakers.

Watch in for more details!

Canada: 50 Liberal Party Parliamentarians Ask Trudeau To Step Down

Ottawa, Canada 
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, despite dealing with the lowest point of his political career, put on his party face at the Liberal Party's annual holiday gathering. 
He came with a smiling face at the gathering, which was day after one of his most trusted allies, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, announced her resignation. 
Even though some members of his own party were calling on him to leave, he stood strong and in a resistant tone addressed the party. 
He referred to his "difficult" week, comparing it to a family fight. 
<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/canadian-pm-justin-trudeau-changes-one-third-of-his-team-785679">Also read: Canadian PM Justin Trudeau changes one-third of his team</a>
Trudeau further discussed being "audacious" and "ambitious" in the face of adversity and slammed his political rival, Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the opposition Conservative Party of Canada.
Meanwhile, the people said that it sounded more like a campaign speech, adding that despite the latest political turmoil, Trudeau looked like he was digging in. 
Further, even after the leader of the country's progressive New Democrat Party (NDP) Jagmeet Singh said that he would introduce a motion to topple the current government in 2025, Trudeau's stance did not change. 
Notably, the support of the NDP had been keeping the Liberals in power.

As pressure increases on Trudeau for him to resign, some of the experts say that he now needs a new strategy. 
Moreover, Trudeau has also been losing some of his popularity. According to a September poll, around two-thirds of Canadians disapproved of him. Only 26 per cent of the respondents said that Trudeau was their top pick for the post of prime minister, keeping him 19 points behind Conservative leader Poilievre. 
So far, at least 18 MPs under Trudeau's government have called for their leader to step down. "He's delusional if he thinks we can continue like this," New Brunswick MP Wayne Long told reporters this week.
"It's unfair to us MPs, it's unfair to the ministers and most importantly it's unfair to the country. We need to move on with a new direction and we need to reboot," he added. 
According to Long, as many as 50 out of the 153 Liberal MPs want Trudeau to step down immediately.

Amidst political chaos in Canada, feisty Trudeau perseveres, but for how long?

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's political troubles seem to have no end, as a key ally who was helping keep him in office said on Friday (Dec 20) he would bring down the Liberal government and trigger an election in the country.

Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), has announced his intention to present a formal motion of no-confidence after the House of Commons elected chamber returns from a winter break on January 27.

With this, Trudeau looks set to lose power.&nbsp;

According to Reuters news agency, if the motion goes through, Trudeau, who has been Canada's PM for nine years, will be out of office and an election will take place.

"We will put forward a clear motion of non-confidence in the next sitting of the House of Commons," he said in a statement.

Already, the leader of the Bloc Quebecois, a larger opposition party, has promised to back the motion.

Meanwhile, the Conservatives are gearing up to end Trudeau's time at 24 Seussex Drive.

They have announced their intention to ask Governor General Mary Simon - the personal representative of King Charles, Canada's head of state - to recall Parliament to hold a no-confidence vote before the end of the year.

However, they are not expected to succeed,&nbsp;Reuters reported citing constitutional experts.

"We cannot have a chaotic clown show running our government into the ground. What is clear is that Justin Trudeau does not have the confidence of Parliament," said Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.

<h2>What's next for Trudeau and the Liberals?</h2>

The timing of Singh's announcement leaves Trudeau with limited options. Even if the prime minister resigns over the holiday break, the Liberal Party would struggle to organise a leadership convention or select a permanent successor before a potential election. This means that the party would have to contest the vote with an interim leader, which has never happened before in Canada.

Ottawa
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday shook up his cabinet, changing one-third of his team as political turmoil threatens his leadership and tensions erupt with incoming US president Donald Trump.
The reshuffle came at the end of a chaotic week in Ottawa spurred by the surprise resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland following disagreement with her boss over Trump's threats to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian imports.
Her exit, after nearly a decade at Trudeau's side, marked the first open dissent against the prime minister from within his cabinet and has emboldened critics.
Since then, Trudeau has hunkered down with advisors as he reportedly contemplates his own political future amid calls for him to step down ahead of elections scheduled for October 2025 but expected much sooner.
In Friday's reset, eight new ministers were appointed to replace those in the 35-member cabinet who have signaled they will not seek reelection, and to relieve others of their double or triple duties in government.
Four current ministers were also given new responsibilities.
Freeland, who also quit her role as finance minister, has said she would seek reelection next year.
<h2>Behind in the polls</h2>
Trudeau's childhood friend and ally Dominic LeBlanc was already sworn in as the new finance minister hours after Freeland quit.
He also took over the reins from her on negotiating with the incoming Trump administration.
Several cabinet recruits, as they headed into the swearing-in ceremony Friday, declared their confidence in Trudeau.
But part of his caucus has urged him to resign, worried that voter fatigue with his leadership will hamstring the Liberals in the next election.
Trudeau swept to power in 2015 and led the Liberals to two more ballot box victories in 2019 and 2021. 
But he now trails by 20 points his main rival, Conservative Pierre Poilievre, in public opinion polls. And his Liberals lost four by-elections this year.
Compounding those woes, Trudeau faces the possibility that Trump in January will slap 25 percent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, accusing both of allowing the United States to be flooded with illicit drugs, namely fentanyl, and undocumented migrants.
More than 75 percent of Canadian exports go to the United States and nearly two million Canadian jobs depend on trade.
In her resignation letter, Freeland warned this could lead to a "tariff war" with the United States and urged Ottawa to keep its "fiscal powder dry" while rebuking Trudeau's spendthrift policies.
Trudeau last month traveled to Florida to meet with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in a bid to head off a trade war.
Trump called the talks over dinner "very productive."
But since then the president-elect has also landed humiliating blows against Trudeau on social media, repeatedly calling him "governor" of Canada and declaring that the United States' northern neighbor becoming the 51st US state is a "great idea."
Political analysts and officials have said the taunts appeared aimed at putting Trudeau on the back foot in bilateral negotiations.

Canada: Trudeau Faces Frustrated MPs Post Chrystia Freeland's Resignation

Washington, US
United States (US) President-elect Donald Trump continued trolling Canada as on Wednesday (Dec 18), he shared a post on Truth Social and slammed US subsidies to Canada. He even claimed that many in Canada want it to become the 51st state of US.
In the post, the Republican wrote, "No one can answer why we subsidise Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year?" 
"Makes no sense! Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State. They would save massively on Taxes and military protection," he added. 
Trump's comment came amid the tensions between the two nations after his announcement to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canada for failing to address trade and immigration issues.

On Tuesday (Dec 17), French Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned due to a disagreement with Trudeau on handling US tariffs in the upcoming Trump administration. 
Trump took a dig at it as he posted on Truth Social saying, "The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau." 
"Her behaviour was toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada. She will not be missed!!!" the Republican further added. 
There are further reports that Trump has suggested that if tariffs on Canada would kill its economy, then Canada should become the 51st state of the US. 
<h2>'Governor of the Great State'</h2>
Earlier on Tuesday (Dec 10), Trump mocked Justin Trudeau, dubbing him the "Governor of the Great State of Canada."

"I look forward to seeing the Governor again soon so that we may continue our in-depth talks on Tariffs and Trade, the results of which will be truly spectacular for all!," he added.

Canada: Justin Trudeau Faces Frustrated MPs Post Chrystia Freeland's Resignation

Ottawa, Canada
Justin Trudeau, the embattled Canadian Prime Minister on Tuesday (Dec 17) tried to downplay the most serious challenge to his leadership yet — the resignation of his deputy PM as a 'family' spat.
As per Bloomberg, speaking at the Liberal Party's end-of-the-year, Trudeau chalked up the exit of his long-time trusted Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland as "fights around the holidays".
This comes as, in the last few days, over a dozen members of Trudeau's caucus have publicly said that he cannot carry on as the party leader.

Ontario Liberal MP calls for change in leadership after Canada Deputy PM's resignation</a>
<h2>What did Trudeau say?</h2>
"Like most families, sometimes we have fights around the holidays," Trudeau told the Liberal Party's 153 lawmakers and their staffers in Ottawa.
"But of course, like most families, we find our way through it. You know, I love this country, I deeply love this party, I love you guys, and love is what families are all about," he added in a glancing reference to Freeland's resignation.
This comes after Freeland resigned while slamming Trudeau's "costly political gimmicks" in a scathing letter.
<h2>Freeland's resignation</h2>
Freeland, on Monday (Dec 16), announced that she is resigning from Trudeau's cabinet. Freeland said that on Friday, the Canadian PM told her that he was removing her as the nation's finance minister and assigning her a different role and that she felt she had no option but to resign.
Media reports suggest that Trudeau was planning to replace her Brookfield Asset Management Chair, Mark Carney. Following her resignation, Trudeau named Dominic LeBlanc as the finance minister.

<h2>Why Freeland's resignation is Trudeau's biggest challenge yet?</h2>
Freeland by far is the highest-ranking Liberal to publicly criticise Trudeau. However, she's far from being the only Liberal MP to slam him. Especially after Freeland's resignation, the number of Liberal Party MPs calling for his resignation has increased.
As per a CBC News tally, after Freeland's resignation, over 10 members of Trudeau's caucus have called for him to step down. The MPs as per the report are Wayne Long, René Arseneault, Francis Drouin, Helena Jaczek, Ken McDonald, Ken Hardie, Sean Casey, Chad Collins, Anthony Housefather, Patrick Weiler, Serge Cormier, Yvan Baker and Alexandra Mendès.

United States (US) President-elect Donald Trump continued trolling Canada as on Wednesday (Dec 18), he shared a post on Truth Social and slammed US subsidies to Canada. He even claimed that many in Canada want it to become the 51st state of US. In the post, the Republican wrote, "No one can answer why we subsidise Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year?" "Makes no sense! Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State. They would save massively on Taxes and military protection," he added. Trump's comment came amid the tensions between the two nations after his announcement to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canada for failing to address trade and immigration issues.

Trump took a dig at it as he posted on Truth Social saying, "The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau." "Her behaviour was toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada. She will not be missed!!!" the Republican further added. There are further reports that Trump has suggested that if tariffs on Canada would kill its economy, then Canada should become the 51st state of the US. 'Governor of the Great State' Earlier on Tuesday (Dec 10), Trump mocked Justin Trudeau, dubbing him the "Governor of the Great State of Canada."

"I look forward to seeing the Governor again soon so that we may continue our in-depth talks on Tariffs and Trade, the results of which will be truly spectacular for all!," he added.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing increasing pressure from within his own party, as several MPs have called for his resignation. The political unrest comes amid growing dissatisfaction with his leadership and the direction of his government.

Justin Trudeau, the embattled Canadian Prime Minister on Tuesday (Dec 17) tried to downplay the most serious challenge to his leadership yet — the resignation of his deputy PM as a 'family' spat.

As per Bloomberg, speaking at the Liberal Party's end-of-the-year, Trudeau chalked up the exit of his long-time trusted Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland as "fights around the holidays".

This comes as, in the last few days, over a dozen members of Trudeau's caucus have publicly said that he cannot carry on as the party leader.&nbsp;

Ontario Liberal MP calls for change in leadership after Canada Deputy PM's resignation</a>

<h2>What did Trudeau say?</h2>

"Like most families, sometimes we have fights around the holidays," Trudeau told the Liberal Party's 153 lawmakers and their staffers in Ottawa.

"But of course, like most families, we find our way through it. You know, I love this country, I deeply love this party, I love you guys, and love is what families are all about," he added in a glancing reference to Freeland's resignation.

This comes after Freeland resigned while slamming Trudeau's "costly political gimmicks" in a scathing letter.

<h2>Freeland's resignation</h2>

Freeland, on Monday (Dec 16), announced that she is resigning from Trudeau's cabinet. Freeland said that on Friday, the Canadian PM told her that he was removing her as the nation's finance minister and assigning her a different role and that she felt she had no option but to resign.

Media reports suggest that Trudeau was planning to replace her Brookfield Asset Management Chair, Mark Carney. Following her resignation, Trudeau named Dominic LeBlanc as the finance minister.

<h2>Why Freeland's resignation is Trudeau's biggest challenge yet?</h2>

Freeland by far is the highest-ranking Liberal to publicly criticise Trudeau. However, she's far from being the only Liberal MP to slam him. Especially after Freeland's resignation, the number of Liberal Party MPs calling for his resignation has increased.

As per a CBC News tally, after Freeland's resignation, over 10 members of Trudeau's caucus have called for him to step down. The MPs as per the report are Wayne Long, René Arseneault, Francis Drouin,&nbsp;Helena Jaczek, Ken McDonald, Ken Hardie, Sean Casey, Chad Collins, Anthony Housefather, Patrick Weiler,&nbsp;Serge Cormier, Yvan Baker and Alexandra Mendès.

Canada: Justin Trudeau Faces Resignation Calls From Own MPs

In a major political setback to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his deputy PM and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tendered her resignation on Monday (Dec 16). The stepping down of the 56-year-old leader comes in the backdrop of the looming threat of US President-elect Donald Trump’s sanctions on Canada. The move may threaten Trudeau’s hold on power as his approval ratings nosedive and his own party members grow impatient with his leadership.

Canada’s CTV News later reported that Trudeau was ‘considering his options as leader’ following Freeland’s move. Leaders from the opposition Conservative party and NDP have called on the PM to resign.

Pointing to Trump’s plan to impose 25 per cent tariffs on imports from Canada, Freeland in her letter wrote, “Our country today faces a grave challenge."

“For the past number of weeks, you and I have found ourselves at odds about the best path forward for Canada," the ex-finance minister wrote.

Making things worse for the Trudeau government, Freeland’s resignation came the same day she was supposed to table her fall economic statement – a document that includes key economic metrics such as the size of Canada’s deficit.

<h2>Trudeau heckled</h2>

Meanwhile, as Trudeau was on his way to appear at the Liberal fundraiser at the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa, he was heckled by an onlooker.
