Pre-Arranged Job Offer A hindrance for Canada Express Entry Applicants

Canada, 13^th May: Canada Express Entry is not attracting many skilled foreign workers.

Canada Express Entry—Few foreign skilled workers applying—Canada Express Entry program is not being able to attract many foreign workers to come and work in Canada. Reason? The requirement of having a pre-arranged offer of job in Canada under Canada Express Entry is proving to be a major hindrance in the way of attracting skilled foreigners to Canada.

<blockquote> Canada Express Entry requires foreign skilled workers to have a pre-arranged offer of job in Canada. And this is proving to be dampener for drawing skilled foreigners to Canada. </blockquote>
