October 14, 2026, Express Entry Draw Update - Yesterday IRCC completed an Express Entry Draw for the Provincial Nominee Program.

On October 14, 2026, IRCC issued 752 Invitations to Apply in the latest draw for the Provincial Nominee Program, drawing individuals with a CRS score of 772 or higher. Provincial Nominee Program Express Entry draws will always have much higher scores than draws for Federal Immigration programs. The reason for that is that 600 CRS points are awarded to those in the pool with an eligible Provincial Nominee Certificate.

Wondering how to strengthen your CRS score or what Permanent Residence options are available to you? Guberman//Appleby Immigration Lawyers can provide personalized advice to help you understand your options and determine the best next steps.

A new US government announcement on October 8, 2026, has raised concerns for technology companies and foreign workers pursuing employment-based green cards. Microsoft, Adobe, and six other technology companies have reportedly been restricted from using the PERM labour certification process, a key step in certain employment-based green card applications. What does this mean for H-1B visa holders, pending green card applications, and employers sponsoring foreign workers?

Our latest immigration update explains the announcement, the difference between H-1B visas and PERM certification, and who may be affected.

UPDATE: As reported by Elliotte Friedman Kirill WILL make his debut!

Monday: blockbuster trade. Monday night: six-year contract. Tuesday: waiting on immigration.

Kirill Marchenko's first game as a Maple Leaf may depend less on the coach than on his work authorization. Changing employers across the border means new permission to work in Canada, and there's no fast-forward button, even for a first-line winger.

The headlines say "visa” What he really needs is a work permit. Check out our website for the difference, and why it matters for any business hiring from outside Canada.
