111th Express Entry: Issued 3,350 Invitations To Apply For Canada PR

21 Feb 2019

Canada immigration officials have carried a new Express Entry draw, announcing 3,350 Invitations to Apply to skilled worker applicants.

The Feb 20 draw was the first for 03 weeks, with the least Comprehensive Ranking System score increasing to 457. It represents the initial minimum C.R.S score higher than 450 since Jun 2018.

February’s opening draw brings the entire I.T.As for the year 2019 to 14,500. High-skilled immigration intake goal for Canada is 81,400 for the year 2019, after smashing the record for yearly Express Entry I.T.As in the year 2018 with 89,800.

It was the 04th round of invitations below the Express Entry in the year 2019 and 111th overall.

Federal Express Entry

Express Entry is a Canadian immigration system performed by Canadian immigration officials (I.R.C.C) on Jan 1, 2015, which controls skilled worker appeals below the Federal Economic programs. It involves the Federal Skilled Trades Program, the Federal Skilled Worker Program, and the Canada Experience Class and portions of the Provincial Nomination Programs.

Stakeholders assume to see approximately 30 draws and higher than 80,000 invitations announced in the year 2019, with a majority of draws highlighting C.R.S scores less than 450 to enable Canadian immigration officials to attend targeted yearly immigration levels for the year 2019.

Employers Need to Hire International Workers

Employers are supported to consider obtaining an L.M.I.A or nomination below provincial nomination programs (P.N.Ps) to assure long term employees retention.

Suggestions to Candidates

It is assumed that the significant applicants to be announced ITAs in the year 2019 will need a score of CRS well under 450 points, allowing a considerable number of candidates to obtain permanent residence to Canada without a job offer or nomination below a provincial immigration program. However, obtaining an authorized offer of employment is extremely recommended.
