Immigration Minister Sean Fraser previously said draws for these candidates would resume in the near term. No date has been released publicly.Express Entry candidates in Canada, who do not have a provincial nomination might be forced to apply for a new work permit, leave their jobs or even the country.
Normally, when Express Entry candidates apply for permanent residence, they become eligible to get a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) which allows them to keep working in Canada while their application is in processing. Express Entry candidates who have applied for permanent residency outside of Canada could be faced with expiring language test results, meaning they would have to take another language test in order to maintain their eligibility.
