Immigration Refugees
and Citizenship Canada has offered 4,800 PR Visa invitations to apply (ITAs) in
an all-program draw to candidates. The minimum CRS - Comprehensive Ranking
System score needed to get the ITA was 488.
The draw was held on
24th May and was the first draw after 26 April to be an all-program
draw.
All-program draw
implies that candidates from all the 3 economic immigration programs managed
under Express Entry are considered:
· The Federal Skilled Worker Program
· The Canadian Experience Class
· The Federal
Skilled Trades Program
The latest draw follows the draw conducted on 10th
May that offered ITAs to 589 candidates in a PNP - Provincial Nominee
Program-only draw. Only those candidates who are in the Express Entry pool and
have a nomination from a province in Canada are considered for the PNP-only
draw.
Express Entry Trends in 2023
So far in 2023,
Express Entry has not set a firm pattern in terms of the number of ITAs, draw
frequency or even draw type.
Draws held in January
were in conformity with the pattern prior to the pandemic being held in a gap
of 2 weeks and offering ITAs to applicants from all programs. The trend altered
in February as IRCC conducted 4 draws that were program-specific from 1st
February to 1st March—this month also witnessed the first FSWP
program-specific draw.
3 Draws were held in
February and 1 draw every week in March. In the month of March 21,000 plus
candidates received ITAs. It was the second maximum number of ITAs offered in
Express Entry history in 1 month.
April month witnessed
the resumption of fortnightly draws.
In 2023, it is also
anticipated that IRCC will start to conduct Express Entry draws that target
candidates having specific traits instead of high scores in CRS. This has been
made possible through Bill C-19 which offers the authority to the Immigration
Minister of Canada to offer ITAs to candidates who can best sustain the
economic goals of Canada.
Draws in Express Entry
are at the complete discretion of IRCC and the Minister of Immigration. As per
the IRPA - Immigration and Refugee Protection Act no rule exists to determine
the occurrence of draws, the program from which and how many candidates will be
chosen, and the least score cut-off under CRS.
Express Entry
The application
management system Express Entry manages 3 economic immigration programs. The
candidates are assessed and offered scores according to the CRS. The allocation
of scores is according to the candidates’ education, language proficiency,
occupation, work experience, and age. Those securing the maximum scores have
chances of getting ITAs for PR Visa.
As per the 2023-2025
Plan for Immigration Levels, more than 82,000 Permanent Residents will be
accepted by Canada by the conclusion of 2023 through Express Entry.
