Syed Khan – November 26, 2021
The IRCC, on its recently held draw on 24th November, has sent invites to 613 Express Entry candidates to apply for PR. All these invitations were sent to candidates nominated via the PNP.
The applicants are ranked in the pool using the CRS, a points-based system. The candidates who scored the maximum CRS points are then invited to apply for permanent residence. The minimum cut off score to qualify was 737 (with the nomination). If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the cut-off is based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.
Each invitation round has a set of instructions that are posted online at the time of the round and which are used by the IRCC to invite candidates from the Express Entry pool. The instructions include:
- The date and time of the invitation round
- The number of candidates to get an ITA
- The list of immigration program(s) included in the round
All throughout 2021, the IRCC has targeted on inviting Express Entry candidates from Provincial Nominee Class and Canadian Experience Class. This is the 6th draw in a row that IRCC has held that is PNP specific.
The IRCC uses the Express Entry system to choose skilled workers based on their skills and ability to contribute to Canada’s economy. It manages applications for three economic immigration programs:
- Federal Skilled Worker Program
- Federal Skilled Trades Program
- Canadian Experience Class
Provinces and territories can also recruit candidates from the Express Entry pool through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) to meet local labor market needs.
