    Apr 19 2025

    In this episode, Cassandra Fultz, founder of Doherty Fultz Immigration, explores how Canada’s immigration landscape has dramatically changed—especially in the wake of COVID and recent election cycles in both the U.S. and Canada.


    We cover:

    • The truth behind job offer fraud and the removal of LMIA points from Express Entry
    • How international students have become a financial crutch for post-secondary institutions
    • Strategic advice for navigating PNPs in less popular provinces like Yukon
    • Why immigrants are unfairly blamed for housing and infrastructure problems


    If you’ve been following Canadian immigration—or are planning your next move—this episode is essential listening.
