Canadian Express Entry started 2019 off to its largest beginning so far and offered 11,500 ITAs for Canada PR. This was over the course of 3 draws that were held in January.
The last draw
for January was held on 30th of the month. It witnessed the lowering of the threshold Comprehensive
Ranking System score to 438. This was the lowest for an all program draw
held after October 2017, as quoted by the CIC News.
A fixed number of
candidates in the Canadian Express Entry pool with the highest ranking are
selected. They are offered ITAs for
Canada PR through draws that are held regularly. These are normally held
once in 14 days.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada offered 3,900 ITAs in 2 of the 3 draws held in January. Before
this, the maximum ITAs that IRCC had offered in a single January draw was 3,
508. This was way back on 25 January 2017.
The 2 draws
assisted in pushing Canadian Express Entry to a fresh record for January. This
was with the 11, 150 ITAs that were offered in January 2019.
The results in
January indicate how big the year 2019 can be for the Canadian Express Entry
system. Higher targets for intake of
immigrants have been set by IRCC for the 3 programs in Express Entry. This
is for both the years 2019 and 2020.
IRCC will be
required to offer more ITAs in the coming 11 months than offered in 2018 to
meet the higher targets. A new ITA record was set in 2018. This could imply
bigger draws or more frequent draws in the months ahead.
A frequent number of Express Entry draws has one
advantage. They can have an effect of lowering the
minimum CRS score.
