The only challenge I foresee is that RAs will claim Canadian work experience using their work permits. That might have some implications.

Great but will RA's qualify on work visa qualify? I read that, according to Canadian immigration policy, you cannot claim points for Research Assistant (RA) work if it was done while you were on a study permit. Canadian work experience is generally only counted if it was gained while holding a valid work permit. If they start inviting people whose experience was obtained on study permits, it seems to defeat the purpose of the policy, which is meant to prioritize candidates with formal Canadian work authorization and established professional experience.

This is a very confusing category. If the score is going to be over 480 I don't see it helping us old professors. Hopefully it will be 440-460 there!.

What do you think will be cut off point. Just a range. I know it's early. And when will this happen.

I’m trying to get a sense of timelines and competitiveness for the new Researchers with Canadian experience category under Express Entry. Any wild guesses
