Effective November 3, 2026, IRCC restructured the job offer guidance to emphasize that LMIAs are no longer required for Express Entry job offers, though they remain required for certain programs' eligibility. New sections clarify that officers will assess job offer genuineness. Removed detailed LMIA requirement pathways and "ability to do work" section; simplified profile update instructions with corrected date formats. FSW and FST programs now explicitly require job offers be "genuine" as a validity criterion.

Navisa is an AI file-prep engine for Canadian immigration firms. It reads the documents on a file, cross-checks them, runs the eligibility analysis against retrieved official sources, and flags what an officer would — citations attached. It does not replace the judgment of a licensed immigration professional; a consultant reviews and approves the work.
Navisa Prep is document-preparation software for individuals — cited comparisons and options, never advice. The Navisa platform is the case engine for licensed firms.
