IRCC invited CEC candidates for the second consecutive week. The department issued over 400 ITAs in this latest draw. Also, candidates required a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 539 in order to be considered.
This is the second week in a row that Express Entry draws have occurred.
The previous week, candidates in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) program, PNP applicants, and candidates with French-language proficiency got over 1,933 ITAs.
Federal targets for immigration through the Express Entry system will increase next year, per IRCC’s latest Immigration Levels Plan. The immigration department hopes to welcome over 124,680 Express Entry candidates to Canada in the next year.
Moreover, more than 82,000 of these admissions are for a new category for Express Entry candidates in Canada, known as the In-Canada Focus category. This category will be primarily for CEC candidates in the Express Entry pool. However, they might also include candidates in the FSWP, FSTP, and PNP-aligned Express Entry streams.
According to the latest Levels Plan, the remaining 41,700 permanent residency applications will be reserved for the ‘Federal Economic Priorities’ category. This category will invite candidates in the latest Express Entry pool who have professional experience in in-demand professions.
What Is Express Entry?
IRCC invited CEC candidates for the second consecutive week. Express Entry oversees three major economic immigration programs for those seeking Canadian PR: the CEC, the FSTP, & the FSWP.
Candidates in these programs are assessed through the CRS. The CRS assigns scores based on human capital factors like age, education, language capability, work experience, etc.
Also, additional points are for having a sibling in Canada, applying with a spouse/ partner, or combining education and work experience from Canada and abroad.
Moreover, candidates who have obtained a provincial nomination through an enhanced PNP stream can obtain an extra 600 points. This will significantly increase their chances of obtaining an ITA.
Candidates with the highest CRS scores are the most likely to obtain an ITA in future Express Entry draws, provided that they meet the specific draw’s criteria.
