Syed Khan – 19 August 2021,
In the Express Entry- linked PNP draw held on August 18, Canadian Immigration invited over 463 candidates to apply for the Canadian PR (Permanent Residency). In the previous draw, the IRCC had invited candidates with having 760 scores, this time the cut-off was a minimum score of 751. The PNP draws high cutoffs score because the provincial nomination itself is worth 600 points.
Time of Submission:
The candidates with a 751 minimum score are only invited if they have submitted their profiles on or before April 13th, 2021, at 16:29:29 UTC.
Types of draws: In 2021, IRCC has held its draws only for two types of candidates from the Express Entry pool.
- PNP (Provincial Nomination Program)
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
PNP:
- The main aim of the PNP is to fill the gaps in the workforce in order to meet the demands of the Canadian labor market needs. If the immigrants are invited, this means that they fill a need in the regional labor market. In contrast, Federal programs cannot fill these gaps.
- The approved Permanent Residents in Canada are exempt from the travel restrictions.
- The PNP applicants abroad can complete their landing requirements and become permanent residents in Canada.
- PNP candidates get 600 points with their PNP nomination. So, the PNP draws are always greater than the Express Entry Draws.
Express Entry:
- To date, in 2021, Canada has issued 102,779 invitations through Express Entry System.IRCC will invite more and more applicants to reach its target of 108,500 newcomers through the Express Entry system in 2021.
- Candidates with the minimum score were only invited if they submitted their profiles before April 13th, 2021 at 16:29:29 UTC. IRCC always publishes a cutoff time, whether or not there was an actual tie.
