128th Express Entry: Issued 500 ITAs To Trades Candidates For Canada PR

17 Oct 2019

The Canadian Government invited 500 candidates in Federal Skilled Trades Class with C.R.S as less as 357 to appeal for Canada PR in the recent 128^th Express Entry draw took place 16 October 2019.

This draw is program-specific and it was the second draw of 2019 to target applicants in the Class of Federal Skilled Trades, which is open to international nationals with a qualification certificate that proves that they are qualifying to work in a qualified skilled trade in Canada (OR) having a suitable job offer in Canada, along with additional criteria.

The Class of Federal Skilled Trades is one of 3 Federal Highly Skilled immigration Classes controlled by the Federal Express Entry system. The remaining two are Canadian Experience Class and the Class of Federal Skilled Worker.

The huge majority of draws in Express Entry involve applicants from all 3 classes and present draw was one of the occasional exceptions to this practice.

Previous Express Entry Draw

The former Express Entry draw took place 2 October 2019 was an all-program draw that announced 3,900 invitations to apply (I.T.As). Given Canadian greater admission goals for its three Federal Highly Skilled immigration classes in 2019 & 2020, it is assumed that I.R.C.C will continue bigger draws in the upcoming weeks.

128^th Express Entry Draw Details

Unlike all-program rounds of invitation, the draw from the complete Express Entry pool and lead to result in greater cut-off CRS scores, niche draws for a special cohort like Class of Federal Skilled Trades applicants can produce lesser cut-off CRS scores given as they aim for a smaller pool of applicants.

Today’s CRS cut-off score is 357 which was 81 points lesser than the cut-off score in 2019 in an all-program Federal Express Entry draw was 438.

The tie-break exercised by Refugees, Immigration, and Citizenship Canada (I.R.C.C) in the 16 October 2019 draw was 4 March 2019, at 20:36 UTC. It says that all Class of Federal Skilled Trades candidates with a CRS score over 357, also those applicants with CRS scores of 357 who registered their profile in the pool of Express Entry before this date and time, got an ITA for Canadian PR.

Today’s draw is a note of the many ways Express Entry applicants with lower C.R.S scores may obtain an ITA.

Many Express Entry-linked provincial streams also have lesser CRS requirements related to all-program federal draws. To be recognized for a nomination by most Express Entry-linked provincial streams, the principal step is to present a profile in Express Entry.
