How do you keep the tools accurate?
Every tool uses rules and rates published by IRCC, the CRA, ESDC or a provincial government. Each tool page shows the date of its data, and we update rates when they change.
| Data | How often it changes |
|---|---|
| Express Entry draw results | Loaded live from IRCC on the draws tracker |
| IRCC processing times | Reviewed monthly |
| Tax brackets, CPP and EI rates | Every January |
| Minimum wages | When provinces announce changes (often April and October) |
| Benefit amounts (CCB, GST/HST credit) | Every July |
