In the latest Express Entry Draw held on June 26th, the Canadian government invited 3,350 candidates for Canadian permanent residence. Previously, the minimum CRS score of the Express Entry Draw was 470.
The June 12th CRS cut-off score of 465 decreased on June 26th to 462. In fact, for the second progressive time from May 29, the decrease took place.
Therefore, the gap between each draw increases the cut-off score providing higher-scoring candidates. Overall, the time wasted between two draws lead to the CRS score cut-off.
CRS score ranks the foreign candidates in the Express Entry Draw. Factors like the candidate’s age, work experience, skill level, IELTS score, etc leads to a high CRS score.
The Canadian government started the Express Entry system, the main source to bring skilled foreign workers. Firstly, the applicant submits his profile in the Express Entry pool. From that, the highest scorer gets an Invitation to Apply (ITA). If the candidate is not instantly invited to apply, they stay in the selection pool for 12 months. Consequently, the applicant gets 60 days to apply for permanent residence.
The government says “while in the selection pool, the candidate can continue to improve his or her score by among other things gaining more relevant work experience, improving education level, improving language score, or getting a job offer in Canada”.
Canada’s immigration divides into three federal programs–
To enumerate, the Canadian Government has set a target of 81,400 ITAs for 2019. Out of which, 41,800 ITAs got issued to the applicants. However, the targets for 2019 and 2020 were set by higher admissions.
Eventually, the IRCC record of 2018 with 89,800 ITAs will exceed. With the benchmark set on May 11, 2019, at 17:40:54 UTC, ITAs got issued.
