For the third week in a row, IRCC conducted an all-program Express Entry draw.
Approximately 7,000 invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residence were given by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The cut-off number for the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) was 481. Candidates from all programmes were evaluated by IRCC.
Since the December 23, 2020 Express Entry draw, today's draw had the lowest CRS score prerequisite for an all-program draw. (back then, the score was 468). IRCC has invited a total of 21,000 candidates over the last two weeks in order for the CRS to decline to 481 today.
Express Entry is the primary method by which the Canadian government handles economic immigration candidates.
Those who meet the requirements for at least one of the three Express Entry programmes: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), or the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) can submit their profile to the IRCC website.
They are assigned a CRS score based on human capital criteria such as age, education, language skills, and job experience.
IRCC conducts Express Entry draws every two weeks and sends ITAs to the top-scoring candidates.
However, in recent months, IRCC has not followed a consistent draw timetable.
For example, on March 15 and March 23, it conducted two draws in a row that tied for the largest all-program draws ever.
Each of these draws attracted a total of 7,000 Express Entry applicants. (14,000 candidates in total).
When IRCC contemplates issuing ITAs to candidates from all three Express Entry programs, this is referred to as an all-program draw.
They differ from programme-specific draws, in which IRCC only considers applicants from a single programme.
After receiving an ITA, a candidate has up to 60 days to send a completed permanent residence application to IRCC.
The IRCC expects to handle these applications in six months. If a candidate's application is accepted, they will be able to settle in Canada as a permanent citizen.
The Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025, which governs the operations of Canada's immigration system, calls for the IRCC to accept nearly 83,000 newcomers through Express Entry this year.
The goal will be 109,000 in 2024 and 114,000 in 2025.
Canada has made the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) its primary economic class immigration route since last year.
The majority of Canada's provinces and territories have their own PNP, which allows them to select (or "nominate") candidates who meet the requirements of their economy.
The PNP admissions goal for Canada is nearly 106,000 in 2023, 110,000 in 2024, and nearly 118,000 in 2025.
Several provinces have revealed their new PNP allocations in recent weeks.
Ontario, Canada's largest province, will now be allowed to nominate up to 18,000 immigrants in 2025.
Express Entry is used by a part of the PNP.
This means that if a candidate is qualified for one of the three Express Entry programmes (the FSWP, CEC, or FSTP), they can join the Express Entry pool and then be invited to apply to their PNP by a province or territory.
The advantage of this method, known as enhanced provincial nominations, is that those who are approved through a PNP stream receive an extra 600 CRS points.
These extra points almost ensure that the candidate will obtain an ITA for permanent residence.
Following the coronavirus pandemic, Canada has seen a surge in newcomer arrivals in recent years as the country seeks to accept more permanent and temporary residents to support its economy.
