Looking At The Express Entry Route In Canada For 2019

There was a total of 85,300 individuals who received invitations from Canada for the Express Entry route in 2019. These individuals who received invitations can apply and be one step closer to getting a permanent residency status in Canada. The Express Entry pathway is the main route for people to be immigrants in the country and it is focused on bringing in skilled immigrant workers.

As per the data from the country, this total of invitations sent for 2019 is actually huge that it is the next to the biggest number of invitations sent since the Express Entry route has been put into action. This route was put in place in 2015. The biggest amount of invitations sent was back in 2018 with a total of 89,800 invitations. Canada is definitely able to bring in the needed skilled immigrant workers to its territory and help out with the vacancies and get the tasks done. The country is also able to target the needed individuals who hold the skills and experience that it needs.

Overseeing three immigration programs

The Express Entry route is the main system that oversees and manages the total pool of immigrant candidates. Canada has three federal immigration programs that are aimed at immigrants who are highly skilled. These programs are the Federal Skilled Trades Class, the Canadian Experience Class, and the Federal Skilled Worker Class. The Express Entry is also a part of the Provincial Nominee Program (which is also known as the PNP).

For 2019, there were 26 total draws done by the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and taken from the pool of candidates under the Express Entry system. The draws ranged from 3,200 candidates to 3,900.

For the last quarter of last year, the size of the draws went up to a high of 3,900 invitations. This is the highest total recorded and it happened in October 2019. Come November, the total went down to 3,600. By December, two rounds of draws were done. Each draw for December had a total of 3,200 invitations.

How invitations are given

Invitations To Apply are given to candidates under the Express Entry system and they do this using the candidates’ Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. The CRS score is based on the candidates’ education, English or French proficiency, age, and skilled work experience among a number of factors. In all of the draws that were done in 2019, the score range that the Canadian government used were 438 for January 2019 and 475 in October 2019.

Experts say that a factor that should explain why the minimum requirement for CRS score has gone up for 2019 is that there is a higher number of candidates under Express Entry who have also received provincial nominations from Canada.
