Express Entry: Rounds of invitations - Canada.ca
IRCC updated the status notice for Express Entry French-language proficiency round #418 (May 28, 2026). The BEFORE text stated that IRCC was aware some eligible candidates had not received invitations and was reviewing the situation. The AFTER text confirms the issue has been resolved and that eligible candidates should now have received their ITAs. This is critical for any affected client: they should check their IRCC account for a newly issued ITA and be aware of the 60-day deadline to submit a complete application.

Updates - Canada.ca
Two new Program Delivery Updates (PDUs) were added to the top of the PDU index on June 11, 2026, both categorised as permanent-resident (pr) and both titled "Updates to Humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) consideration pages." They are distinct documents (URL slugs ending in -4 and -2 respectively), suggesting at least two separate sets of H&C policy/procedural page revisions were published simultaneously. Consultants with H&C cases should review both new PDUs for any substantive guidance changes.

Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations
The AFTER version appends the full inline text of the amending regulations (SOR/2020-91 s. 5 and SOR/2022-142 s. 7) directly beneath the consolidated section, which was absent in the BEFORE version. Notably, the newly surfaced SOR/2020-91 s. 5 text adds a new paragraph (h) to s. 203(1.1): an employer's good-faith error in interpreting its compliance with conditions under ss. 209.2(1)(a)(v)–(vi) or 209.3(1)(a)(vii)–(xi) is now enumerated as a factor that can make employment unlikely to have a positive or neutral labour market effect. Consultants should note this new safe-harbour/adverse-factor provision when advising employers on LMIA compliance risk.

Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations
The AFTER version adds the full legislative text of SOR/2022-142, s. 6, which was previously cited but not reproduced. The newly displayed amendment text confirms: (1) subparagraphs 200(1)(c)(ii.1) and (iii) were formally replaced (removing section 207.1 from the offer-of-employment genuine-offer pathway and confining it to section 207); (2) subparagraph 200(3)(h)(i) was repealed (removing one employer-ineligibility ground); and (3) paragraph 200(5)(d) was replaced with identical wording. Consultants should note the formal exclusion of s. 207.1 from the genuine-offer sub-paragraph and the repeal of s. 200(3)(h)(i).
