Government of
Canada held its 2020’s first Express Entry draw on Junary 8.
Total of
3.400 invitations to apply for Canadian permanent residence were issued to
those selected.
The minimum
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required to be selected was 473 in the
January 8 draw.
Serving as Canada’s main
source of skilled foreign workers, the federal Express Entry system manages the
three economic immigration categories namely the Federal Skilled Worker Class
(FSWC), Federal Skilled Trade Class (FSTC) and Canada Experience Class (CEC).
An invitation to apply (ITA)
was issued to those selected candidates. Invited candidates received ITAs are
expected to complete their permanent residence applications within 60 days.
In order to
be selected from the Express Entry candidate pool, a job offer is not required.
Candiates with an eligibile job offer get additional points.
Government of
Canada issued 3.200 invitations in the previous Express Entry draw on December 19th
. The cut-off score was 469. This draw was also the last one held in 2019.
The latest Express
Entry draw saw a 4 point increase in the cut-off score from the previous draw
on December 11th. The cut-off score in the previous draw was 469. In
the previous draw total of 3.200 ITAs were issued to candidates.
As of January 6, 2020, total
of 138.955 candidates are registered in express entry pool of candidates.
Candidates who want to
immigrate to Canada are entered into the Express Entry pool where they are
ranked based on their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores.
CRS score is based on factors
including age, education, skilled work experience and proficiency in English
and French Language among others.
There is no need for a job
offer to be eligible for the Express Entry candidate pool.
In regular draws from the
pool, which regularly happen to be every two weeks, the highest ranked
candidates are issued ITA for Canadian permanent residence.
A candidate should improve his
CRS score in a number of ways. One of them is being nominated by a province. A
nomination through Canada’s provincial nominee program is the most valuable in
terms of points.
A person with provincial
nomination receives 600 points toward their CRS score which almost guarantees
and invitiation to apply for Canadian permanent residence status.
Many provinces including
British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Mantioba and Ontario have expres entry
aligned immigration streams in their provincial immigration programs.
The other way of increasing
CRS score is to improve English or French. With improved Language scores
(IELTS, TEF, CELPIP etc) candidate can increase his CRS score for sure.
Students who studied in Canada
will also get extra points for their minimum of two semesters post secondary
education in Canada.
Given Canada’s higher targets
for admission in 2019 and 2020, we hope more frequent or larger draws will be
held resulting decreasing CRS score.
