07 Mar 2019

Canada conducted a current Express Entry draw on Mar 6, announcing 3,350 invitations to apply for Canadian PR to applicants with scores of Comprehensive Ranking System as less as 454.

The Canadian Government has now announced 17,850 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) this year by the Express Entry system — an addition of 6,350 over the 11,500 ITAs that had been announced by this same time in 2018.

Last year eventually noticed Canada announced a record number of 89,800 ITAs, a breakthrough for the Canadian government and it is assumed to exceed in this year as it was given greater admissions targets for the Express Entry-directed Federal Skilled Trades Class,  Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Worker Class in the categories of economic immigration.

Applicants who fulfill the eligibility criteria for these categories are allowed into the pool of Express Entry where they announced a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score granted for factors such as their education, age, work experience and knowledge in English or French.

IRCC invites a fixed number of the highest-scoring applicants to apply for Canada PR through normal draws from the pool.
