🔥 MAJOR BREAKING: After November 3, Canadians might as well stop applying for those "high-wage" jobs, because Ottawa just deleted the only requirement that forced employers to try hiring a Canadian first.

Buried in paragraph 2 of an IRCC release, a qualifying high-wage job offer no longer needs an employer to advertise the position, prove no qualified Canadian applied, or drop $1,000 on an LMIA for it to count toward permanent residence. 💸 The labour market test is gone from the PR pathway. Verification shifts out of ESDC (whose job is protecting Canadian workers) and into IRCC (whose job is selecting immigrants). Still think the great replacement is just a conspiracy theory? 🤔
