The Movel Monthly
Welcome to The Movel Monthly
Welcome to the first public edition of The Movel Monthly. Thank you for reading.
Movel is a boutique migration advisory. We help Nigerian students, professionals, families and business owners plan a move to Canada with a clear strategy and honest odds. Where an application must be filed, a licensed Canadian immigration consultant files it under a separate retainer.
Each month we read the official rules and data so you do not have to. We explain what changed, and what it means for you. We do not sell hype, and we do not promise outcomes.
If this issue is useful, please forward it to anyone you know who is thinking about a move. They can subscribe directly at movel.agency.

Federal Update: Express Entry Since Our Last Look
Express Entry is the online system Canada uses to invite skilled workers to apply for permanent residence. Each candidate gets a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score out of 1,200. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) then invites the highest scorers in each round.
Between September 14 and October 1, IRCC held six rounds and issued 9,059 invitations [1]. No new round had been announced by October 12.
| Date | Round type | Invitations | Lowest score invited |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 14 | Provincial Nominee Program | 576 | 734 |
| Sep 15 | Canadian Experience Class | 2,000 | 519 |
| Sep 16 | Senior managers with Canadian work experience | 250 | 389 |
| Sep 28 | Provincial Nominee Program | 733 | 725 |
| Sep 29 | Canadian Experience Class | 2,000 | 518 |
| Oct 1 | Trades occupations | 3,500 | 476 |

The Trades round on October 1 was the largest of the period. It was only the second trades round this year. The first, on April 2, invited 3,000 candidates at 477 [1].
Across 2026, IRCC has now held 59 rounds and issued 135,215 invitations [1, 6]. Two routes account for almost four in every five of them. The Canadian Experience Class has issued 55,250. French-language rounds have issued 50,500, the most of any targeted category [1].

| Round type | Invitations, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Canadian Experience Class | 55,250 |
| French-language proficiency | 50,500 |
| Healthcare and social services | 11,500 |
| Provincial nominees | 9,270 |
| Trades | 6,500 |
| Senior managers (Canadian experience) | 1,000 |
| Physicians (Canadian experience) | 891 |
| Transport | 300 |
| Skilled military recruits | 4 |
One fact matters a great deal for readers in Nigeria. IRCC has not held a single general round in 2026 that is open to candidates without Canadian experience. There have been no Federal Skilled Worker rounds and no all-program rounds this year [1]. A candidate abroad without French or a targeted occupation has had no Express Entry door this year, except through a provincial nomination.
Federal Update: Canada's Next Immigration Plan Is Due by November 1
Every year the federal government tables an Immigration Levels Plan in Parliament. It sets targets for new permanent residents, and since last year, for new temporary workers and students. The law requires the plan by November 1, unless Parliament is not sitting [3]. As of October 8, the 2027 to 2029 plan had not been released [3].
The current plan already sketches 2027. It holds permanent admissions flat at 380,000 a year. It trims new temporary arrivals from 385,000 in 2026 to 370,000 in 2027 [7].
| Target | 2026 | 2027 (notional) | 2028 (notional) |
|---|---|---|---|
| All new permanent residents | 380,000 | 380,000 | 380,000 |
| Economic immigration | 239,800 | 244,700 | 244,700 |
| Federal high skilled (mostly Express Entry) | 109,000 | 111,000 | 111,000 |
| Provincial Nominee Program | 91,500 | 92,500 | 92,500 |
| Family | 84,000 | 81,000 | 81,000 |
| New temporary workers | 230,000 | 220,000 | 220,000 |
| New international students | 155,000 | 150,000 | 150,000 |
Current federal targets. The new plan may confirm or change the 2027 and 2028 figures. Source: IRCC [7].
The current plan also includes two one-time measures. Up to 33,000 work permit holders already in Canada can move to permanent residence across 2026 and 2027. About 115,000 protected persons in Canada will also transition over two years [7].
Federal Update: Work Permit Holders Can Now Take Short Courses Without a Study Permit
On September 9, IRCC announced a temporary measure for eligible work permit holders already in Canada. They can study for up to six months without a separate study permit. The study must be short-term licensing, education or training, and it cannot run past the end of the work permit [8].
IRCC named tradespeople, nurses and laboratory technicians as examples. It began notifying eligible workers that week. The measure runs until December 31, 2027. Full-time study still needs a study permit. IRCC also stated that this is not a new pathway to Canada [8].
Federal Update: For Entrepreneurs and Businesses
Canada closed the Start-up Visa program to most new applicants at the end of 2025. The Self-Employed Persons Program remains paused [9]. IRCC has said a smaller, targeted entrepreneur pilot will replace it. As of late September, IRCC had still not published eligibility rules or an opening date [10].
Separately, the federal government announced the Productivity Mega Deduction on September 15. It would let businesses deduct the full cost of a much wider range of investments right away, including software, computer equipment and research and development. It applies to property acquired on or after September 15, 2026. Draft legislation exists, but the measure is not yet law [11, 12].
Also at the federal level
| Date | What happened | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 26 | IRCC added personalized processing estimates for in-Canada work permit extensions and post-graduation work permits [14]. | Applicants can see roughly how many files are ahead of theirs. |
| Sep 29 | IRCC funded new projects to attract French-speaking newcomers. It reported that 8.9 percent of permanent residents admitted outside Quebec in 2025 were Francophone [15]. | French speakers remain a federal priority outside Quebec. |
| Oct 9 | Employment and Social Development Canada published its updated list of cities where low-wage job offers will not be processed [16]. | Low-wage employer routes are closed in cities with high unemployment. |
Provincial Updates: The Whole Map
Each province and territory runs its own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). A nomination through Express Entry adds 600 points to a CRS score. A nomination outside Express Entry leads to a separate federal application. Ottawa gives each province a yearly number of nominations, called an allocation.

| Jurisdiction | 2026 allocation |
|---|---|
| Ontario | 14,119 |
| Alberta | 6,603 |
| British Columbia | 6,254 |
| Manitoba | 6,239 |
| Saskatchewan | 4,761 |
| Northwest Territories | 300 |
The table below summarizes where each jurisdiction stood as of October 12. The sections that follow explain the most important changes first.
| Jurisdiction | Activity, Sep 14 to Oct 12 | Openness to applicants abroad |
|---|---|---|
| Quebec | Arrima round of 519 invitations on Sep 24. PEQ first intake closes Oct 31. | Low. Most invitations need French and Quebec ties. |

Provincial Update: Quebec's Reopened Experience Program Closes Its First Window on October 31
Quebec abolished its Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) in November 2025. It has now reopened it for two years, from July 2, 2026 to July 2, 2028. The first intake runs until October 31, 2026, with no cap on applications. Quebec may open more windows later, depending on volume [4].
The program has two streams. Workers need at least two years of Quebec work experience in a skilled occupation. Graduates need an eligible Quebec diploma or degree. Successful applicants receive a Quebec Selection Certificate [4].
Quebec's main skilled worker program also kept inviting. On September 24, the Arrima system issued 519 invitations across four streams. Most groups required oral French at level 7, or level 5 for intermediate and manual jobs. Quebec has issued 15,079 invitations through Arrima so far in 2026 [21]. Its overall target for 2026 is 45,000 new permanent immigrants [22].
Provincial Update: Alberta Has Used 84 Percent of Its Nominations
Alberta's 2026 allocation is 6,603 nominations. By October 7, it had issued 5,541, leaving 1,062 for the rest of the year [5].
View the data
| Measure | Nominations |
|---|---|
| Allocation | 6,603 |
| Issued by Oct 7 | 5,541 |
| Remaining | 1,062 |
Alberta held nine draws between September 15 and October 7. They covered agriculture, healthcare, technology, law enforcement, aviation, rural communities and the Alberta Opportunity Stream [5].
| Date | Stream or pathway | Lowest score | Invitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 15 | Express Entry: Priority Sectors (Agriculture) | 60 | 18 |
| Sep 18 | Express Entry: Priority Sectors (Health Care) | 62 | 100 |

Provincial Update: British Columbia Received 1,000 Extra Nominations
On August 18, Ottawa gave British Columbia 1,000 extra nominations. That raises its 2026 allocation to 6,254. The province says it plans to use the full allocation by December 31 [18].
British Columbia now invites through themed priorities called Build, Care and Innovate. On September 24, it invited 714 candidates in the Innovate: High Economic Impact rounds. That included 426 based on wage, and 288 through points, with a minimum score of 131. On October 8, it invited 86 early childhood educators, 82 healthcare workers and 115 construction tradespeople [13].
| Date | Round | Minimum score | Invitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 17 | Temporary Rural/Remote Health Support Initiative | 60 | 33 |
| Sep 22 | Entrepreneur: Base and Regional | 119 | 10 base, fewer than 5 regional |
| Sep 24 | Innovate: High Economic Impact (wage-based) | Not applicable | 426 |
| Sep 24 | Innovate: High Economic Impact (points) | 131 | 288 |
| Oct 8 | Care: Childcare (early childhood educators) | 99 | 86 |

| Oct 8 | Build: Construction Trades | 94 | 115 |

Provincial Update: Manitoba Issued More Than 1,600 Letters in a Month
Manitoba has a 2026 allocation of 6,239 nominations [19]. It invites candidates with Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs).
On September 10, Manitoba issued 793 letters. That included 508 for graduates of Manitoba schools and 233 for people working in Manitoba health occupations [23]. On September 24, it issued 474 letters, mostly to people working in Manitoba in science, engineering and technology jobs [24]. On October 8, it issued 340 more [25].
Provincial Update: Saskatchewan Closed Its Last Capped-Sector Window
Saskatchewan's allocation is 4,761 nominations, the same as in 2025. By June 30, it had issued 2,628 [26].
For four capped sectors, retail, trucking, accommodation and food services, Saskatchewan ran its final 2026 intake on September 14 and 15. It offered 550 spaces on a first-come, first-served basis. The November 2 intake was cancelled. Only workers with six months or less left on their work permit qualified [26]. Employers in the seven priority sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, skilled trades and technology, can still apply at any time [27].
Provincial Update: Ontario's New Stream Is Open but Has Not Invited Anyone Yet
Ontario replaced eight nomination streams with one new Ontario Workforce Priority Stream earlier this year. Its expression of interest portal opened on August 4 [28]. Ontario's invitations page still lists no rounds after April 30, 2026 [29].
On October 5, Ontario changed one scoring factor. Registrants who earned $80,000 or more in a single year in the past five years, shown on a Canada Revenue Agency notice of assessment, now receive 10 points. Ontario applied the change automatically to existing profiles [28].
Ontario has described this as the first of two redesign phases. It has not published a date or rules for the second phase, including any healthcare stream [28].
Provincial Update: Atlantic Canada
Nova Scotia does not publish individual draws. In July, it widened selection for temporary residents already working in Nova Scotia whose permits expire in 2026 or earlier. The change applies only to profiles submitted by June 30, 2026 [30].
New Brunswick has limited its New Brunswick Experience pathway to healthcare, education and construction workers since May 4 [31]. In September it ran rounds for French-speaking candidates, skilled workers, Express Entry candidates and the Atlantic Immigration Program [25].
Prince Edward Island invited 195 candidates on September 17, all in its Labour Impact and Express Entry categories. It has issued 1,229 invitations across nine draws this year, with none for business candidates [32]. Its next draw is expected on October 15 [16].
Newfoundland and Labrador issued 270 invitations between September 10 and October 9, including 131 on October 9. It has issued 2,826 so far in 2026 [33].
Provincial Update: The Territories
The Northwest Territories received 103 extra nominations in August, raising its 2026 allocation to 300 [20]. It held its last scheduled draw of 2026 on September 25, inviting 105 candidates through its employer-driven stream. The next draw is expected in early 2027 [34].
Yukon ran a 30-day public review of its nominee program, which closed on October 8. The territory said demand has risen while its federal allocation has fallen. Any changes are expected to start in 2027 [35].
Trend to Watch: The General Pool Keeps Getting Crowded at the Top
Every Express Entry round reports how many candidates sit in each score band. Those numbers show a steady build-up at the top of the pool [2].
| Pool snapshot | Total candidates | Scoring 501 or above | Scoring 451 to 500 |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 30, 2026 | 226,673 | 20,101 | 74,105 |
| September 13, 2026 | 226,793 | 21,358 | 72,107 |
| September 27, 2026 | 229,904 | 21,798 | 73,131 |
Express Entry pool, by CRS band. Source: IRCC [2].
In four weeks, the number of candidates scoring above 500 rose by 1,697. The Canadian Experience Class rounds in that time invited 2,000 at a time. That is why its cut off has stayed between 518 and 523 since mid-August [1, 2].

| CRS band | Candidates |
|---|---|
| 0-300 | 7,707 |
| 301-350 | 17,359 |

| 501-600 | 21,070 |
| 601-1200 | 728 |
| Total | 229,904 |
Meanwhile, French-language rounds have moved the other way. Their cut off fell from 420 in July to 382 in August [1]. The gap between the two routes is now more than 130 points.

If your plan depends on the general pool getting easier, this year's data does not support it. The data does support a deliberate plan built on French, a targeted occupation, or a provincial nomination.
Trend to Watch: Canada's Student Population Has Fallen by a Third
The study permit cap has changed Canada's campuses quickly. The number of study permit holders in Canada fell from 928,430 at the end of 2024 to 691,215 at the end of 2025. By June 30, 2026, it was 632,535 [36].
View the data
| Date | Study permit holders |
|---|---|
| End of 2024 | 928,430 |
| End of 2025 | 691,215 |
| June 30, 2026 | 632,535 |
New arrivals have fallen even faster. In the first half of 2026, 22,405 new international students arrived. That is 82 percent fewer than in the same period of 2024 [36]. Canada's 2026 target allows up to 155,000 new students [7]. Arrivals usually rise ahead of the September term, so the second-half figures will tell us more.
Two other points matter for Nigerian families. Since January 2026, students starting a master's or PhD at a public institution do not need a Provincial Attestation Letter. That letter shows a province has room for the student under the cap [37]. And the minimum living-cost amount for students outside Quebec is $22,895 for the first year, adjusted every September 1 [37]. IRCC is expected to set the 2027 cap this fall [37].
Not sure where you stand after this month? Book a triage call →Beyond Canada: Other Corridors We Watch
Our focus is the Nigeria to Canada corridor. Many of our readers also weigh other countries, and some businesses move people across several. Here is a short summary of three corridors.
United States. A permanent visa bond program took effect on August 3, 2026, for business and tourist visa applicants from listed countries, including Nigeria. Consular officers can require a bond of $10,000, $15,000 or $20,000 [38].
United Kingdom. The proposed 10-year qualifying period for settlement is still not law. No rule change had been laid as of August 2026, and current five-year settlement rules still apply. Higher English requirements for some settlement routes are confirmed from March 26, 2027 [39].
Australia. Australia kept its 2027 planning level for new international students at 295,000, the same as in 2026. It is a processing priority system, not a hard cap [40].
Looking Ahead
Three dates matter in the next few weeks. Quebec's PEQ intake closes on October 31. Ottawa must table its 2027 to 2029 Levels Plan by November 1. Alberta and British Columbia will spend the rest of their 2026 allocations by December 31.
Movel starts with the Nigeria to Canada corridor because it is the one we know best. Over time, we plan to help individuals, families and businesses move between many more countries. We will grow into that carefully, and we will tell you plainly when a route closes as well as when one opens.
A Note on How We Work
Movel is an advisory firm. We are not a law firm, and we do not file immigration applications ourselves. Where a client's file needs to be filed with the Canadian government, a licensed Canadian immigration consultant registered with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) files it under a separate retainer. As of July 2026, clients working with a licensed consultant are protected by a federal compensation fund that covers losses caused by a consultant's dishonest conduct [41]. We will always tell you plainly if we think your chances are low. We do not promise outcomes, because no honest advisor can.
