Share with :

Canada held its latest express entry draw for applicants with a provincial nomination on April 15, 2020, and invited 118 applicants with a qualifying CRS score of 808.

 

On April 15, 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held its Express Entry (EE) draw. This draw invited applicants with a provincial nomination, which means their EE profile received an extra 600 points. And they were able to match the qualifying Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 808, in the latest draw. These applicants received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in Canada.

 

Who qualifies in the latest draw?

To qualify in the latest draw:

  • You must have an active EE profile in the federal Express Entry (EE) system;
    • Your profile will then be sent to an EE applicant and will be assessed on Human Capital Factors such as age, language skills education level, and work experience.
    • After assessment EE profile will receive a CRS score. As per their high score, they will receive an ITA in regular EE draws to apply for nomination.
    • If they receive a provincial nomination then they will get extra 600 CRS points against their EE profile.
  • A provincial nomination is needed in this draw to be able to match or exceed the qualifying CRS score of 808.
  • If you qualify, then you can apply IRCC for a Canada PR.

 

Note

The tie-breaker rule used by IRCC selected March 18, 2020, at 10:30:55 UTC. This means applicants who have an 808 CRS score or more and submitted their profile before the mentioned time and date, would have received an ITA for Canadian permanent residence.

 

The Express Entry System

The Express Entry (EE) system is Canada’s one of the most immigration system. It is a system that manages profile from 3 streams such as:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
  • Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

 

Recently, Canada has been targeting provincial nominees and CEC applicants in its EE draws. As seen from the last two draws on April 09, 2020, out of which one was a provincial nominee program-specific draw.

 

Besides, Provincial Nomine Program (PNP) is an immigration program that helps provinces meet their labour market and economic needs. Except for Nunavut and Quebec, most Canadian provinces and territories have their PNP’s linked with the EE system.

 

Since the start of 2020, PNP streams have already held 30 draws, whereas the April 15, draw brings the total number ITA’s issued up till now to 26,618. This number is higher than the ITA’s issued on the same date, last year and before.

In conclusion, looking at the regularity of the draws, Canada immigration seems to be taking a positive upward trend.
