Canada-US Trade War: What's Happening With Tariffs and How It Affects Immigration

Covers Canadian immigration: PR, Express Entry, student status and work visas. Watches the numbers closely — cutoff scores, invitation dates, rule changes — and whether a consultant promising help is even licensed to practice. Readers come away with a sequence of steps, not hope: how to check a profile against the current threshold, when to wait, when to act. Explains why the cutoff for doctors dropped to 198 rather than just reporting the number, and what's behind a record Express Entry draw. Keeps a separate eye on deportations and status defense — what to do when an IRCC decision goes against you. Holidays, exchange rates and new banknotes stay out of scope — only status and procedure here.
