Express Entry Update - Draw # 229 Sees 2250 ITA’s Issued at a CRS cut-off of 525.

50% Increase in the Number of ITA’s seen as compared to the July 6th Draw, when all-programs Express Entry draws resumed after a gap of almost 18 months.

In the latest round of Express Entry draw held on August 17th, IRCC has invited 2250 candidates at a CRS score of 525 or above. This is 250 ITA’s more than the previous draw held on Aug 3, while the CRS score requirement also dropped by 8 points, from 533 to 525.

Since the resumption of the normal all-program Express Entry draws on July 6th this year, IRCC has issued 7500 ITA’s in all, and while IRCC invited only 1500 candidates in the July 6th draw, they have increased this number by 50% in just four rounds of invitation as they invited 2250 candidates in the latest draw held on August 17. Moreover, the CRS scores have also seen a steady decline from 557 on July 6 to 525 in the latest round.

Proposed Express Entry Changes – IRCC is already working on their plans to implement major changes in the way Express Entry draws will be held from 2023 onwards. According to proposed changes, IRCC will be able to conduct occupation and skills specific Express Entry draws in future, rather than simply going by a candidates CRS score. This will allow IRCC to target those candidates who are able to immediately contribute to the needs and requirements of the labour market as well as the community they are going to move to, while also setting up the candidates for success as soon as they land in Canada.

This clearly looks like a Win-Win formula for both the new immigrants as well as Canadian labour market, and it would be interesting to see how this positive development unfolds in the next couple of months.

Gradual Increase in Number ITA’s Continues in Latest Express Entry Draw As Well.

IRCC Holds Second All Program Express Entry Draw of the month on July 20th.

Marginal drop seen in the CRS requirement as 1750 Express Entry candidates with a CRS score of 542 or above (15 points less than July 6 draw) got to Apply (ITA) for Canadian PR.

Post this July 20 draw, more than 23,629 candidates still remain in the Express Entry Pool with a CRS score ranging between 481-1200 points. What this indicates is that IRCC will have to hold bigger size draws in times to come for candidates below the CRS score of 481 points to stand a chance to get an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Brighter Picture - Canada aims to welcome 4,31,645 new immigrants in 2022 with more than 55,900 people expected to get Canadian PR under the Federal High Skilled Category (Federal Skilled Workers and Canadian Experience Class).

This figure is set to double by 2024 as Canada plans to invite 1,15,000 newcomers through the Federal High Skilled Category in the year 2024.

Clearly there is a huge opportunity lying ahead for people who are targeting Canadian Immigration through the Express Entry System.

All Program Express Entry Draws starting from July 6....Processing times for all new applications is going to be back to normal 6 months.

Canada has already declared at the beginning of the year their Immigration level plans for 2022-2024, and they aim to welcome 4,31,645 immigrants in 2022, and 4,47,055 immigrants in 2023.

Out of the total 4,31,645 new PR visas they aim to issue in the year 2022, close to 2,41,850 PR visas are to be issued to people applying under the various programs falling under the Economic Class/Skilled Immigration Category, out of which the share of PNP programs stands at 83,500 for the year 2022.

There is a high probability that with the resumption of the All Program draws from July 6 onwards, Canada is likely to conduct big size draws and select large number of applicants from the Express Entry pool in order to meet its immigration level quotas for 2022 before 31st December.

Moreover, with only about 8600 odd applicants waiting in the Express Entry pool above 500 points, it may take IRCC only few initial draws to select all those high scoring applicants, before we finally start seeing Express Entry draws under for candidates scoring 450-500.

And the Wait is Over..!! Normal Express Entry Draws to Resume from Wednesday, 6th July...!!

In a recent special interview with CIC News, Immigration minister Sean Fraser confirmed that IRCC is well on track to meet its commitment to start regular Express Entry draws from the first week of July.

Not only that, Fraser confirmed that the Express Entry processing times will be back to the normal six months when the draws resume on July 6.

This return to the normal all program draws is a welcome move to the FSWP, FSTP and CEC class alike.

Minister Fraser also provided an important update that the proposed major policy change to Express Entry, which will empower the department with an authority to conduct Occupation specific draws from the Express Entry pool is still under review by the Canadian Parliament, and so its going to take more time for this major policy change to take effect.

Big PNP draw by CANADA just before JULY Deadline to re-start the all program Express Entry Draws

On June 8th, Canada held its largest Express Entry draw till date since March 2, and invited 932 Express Entry applicants having a prior successful PNP nomination to apply for Canadian Permanent residency.

The cut-off CRS score was 796 points for this draw, as the selected candidates originally had a CRS score of only 196 points, and after receiving 600 points for a successful PNP nomination reached a CRS score of 796 points and got invited.

The excitement levels are rising as the deadline for the re-start of the all program Express Entry draws is just round the corner (July 22), and it will be interesting to see the size of the draw as well as CRS cut-offs in the initial few draws.

For those who are interested in immigrating to Canada and were waiting for the all program draws to resume, the time has come for them to contact their consultants without delaying further, and get the files ready and submitted in the pool at the earliest, so not to miss out on the first-come-first-serve criteria.

PARENTS & GRANPARENTS CAN STAY FOR UPTO 7 YRS AT A STRETCH ON SUPER VISA

As per the latest announcement by IRCC, the length for which Parents & Grandparents of Canadian permanent residents and citizens can stay in Canada at a stretch is going to increase from the current 2 years to 5 years per entry, effective 4th July 2022.

Super visa holders will also get an option to request for an extension of their stay for 2 more years, while already in Canada.

This effectively means that a Super Visa holder will now be able to live in Canada for 7yrs at a stretch, without having to exit the borders.

Another important reform which has been proposed by the Canadian parliament is to allow Super Visa applicants to purchase their health insurance from designated international medical health insurance providers in future. At present, a Super Visa applicant can buy medical insurance from only Canadian insurance providers.

Clearly, Canada has once again proven that ‘Families are really at the heart of Canadian Society’.

A Summary of Canada’s PNP Draw Results for May 22

What is PNP and how does it work – Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs are the immigration programs designed, run and managed by the provincial government and territories of Canada in association with the federal government. They present an opportunity to new immigrants to settle down in smaller and less populated areas of Canada, resulting in the economic development and the meeting of the labour market needs of the provinces.

''As per an estimate, more than 93,000 new immigrants are expected to immigrate to Canada each year starting 2024''.

What happened in May 2022 – A total of 1134 candidates received Invitation to Apply for Canadian PR in two PNP Specific Express Entry draws held in the month of May.

In a one-off general draw held in May, the province of Manitoba invited a total of 315 PNP candidates by sending them the Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA’s), out of which 48 LAA’s were issued to
Express Entry Candidates.

NEW BRUNSWICK – The province has recently announced on May 20th that it is temporarily stopping the New Brunswick Express Entry stream, and the stream may open later in 2022.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND – In the pre-scheduled draw held on May 20th, the province of PEI invited 137 candidates to apply for its provincial nomination under the Labour Impact and the Express Entry streams, and 16 from the Business Impact Streams.

QUEBEC – 30 candidates who had their profiles in the Quebec’s Expression of Interest system known as Arrima and who had a valid job offer from outside the Montreal Metropolitan area were invited to apply for permanent selection under the Quebec Regular Skilled Worker program (QSWP).

SASKATECHEWAN – The province held two different draws on May 5th, one for the Entrepreneur Expression of Interest category where it invited 54 candidates, the other draw for the regular SINP skilled worker category whereby the province invited a total of 106 candidates under the Express Entry category and 91 candidates under the Occupation In Demand category, at the minimum score of 85 points.

Major changes proposed in the Express Entry system by Canada. Having a high CRS score is not going to be the sole criteria to invite applicants in future.

IRCC is already working to change the way Express Entry draws will be held in future, by making the system more aligned with its economic goals and labour requirements.

The proposed changes will allow IRCC to be able to invite candidates based on their specific occupation, language capabilities or education levels in the future Express Entry draws, a facility which IRCC currently does not have.

This will essentially mean that having a high CRS score is not going to be the only criteria to get a selection in the Express Entry pool.

The proposed changes can be understood with the help of below explanation:

FOR EXAMPLE: If there is a demand for Healthcare professionals to support Canada’s labor market needs, IRCC can create a pool of all such candidates in the Express Entry pool basis their work experience in such sector, matching education etc., and IRCC can then choose to invite top-ranked Healthcare professionals with the highest CRS scores from that pool.
