In the latest Express Entry draw, the cutoff score has plunged slightly as compared to the previous immigration rounds. Canada has invited 5,000 immigration candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 468.

After this draw, the total number of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) that have been issued this year, has been reached 107,350.

The Express Entry System is responsible for the management of the three main economic immigration streams of Canada. These streams are:

• Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSWP)

• Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTP)

• Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Moreover, other provincial immigration programs are attached to the Express Entry System. The eligible candidates for the immigration programs are issued scores under the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System. The points are awarded on basic human capital factors such as age, language, work experience and language proficiency. The candidate’s CRC score is one of the major selection factors for the application for Permanent Residence. The candidates who have the highest CRS points are issued invited to apply for permanent residence.

 

When there is a tie between the candidates, The IRCC follows the tie-breaking rule. The candidates who had a CRS score of 468 or above, were required to submit their Express Entry profiles before June 4, 2020, at 13:39:44 UTC to receive an invitation.

 

To fill the immigration gap caused by a coronavirus, Canada has planned to invite more immigrants to the country in the coming years. This year, Canada has issued around 100,000 ITAs.

Various provincial nominee programs are linked with the Express Entry system. Ontario, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia have held Express Entry provincial draws.
