The Canadian government is set to make the biggest reform to Express Entry since it introduced the application management system in January 2015.

November has been a busy month for Canada’s Express Entry system, with four draws over its first three weeks.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are still in the process of evaluating its Express Entry strategy for 2022, according to Immigration Minister Sean Fraser.

The Minister of Immigration, John McCallum, has made it quite clear that he wants to increase the overall number of new immigrants to Canada over the coming years. Not only that, but the Express Entry system may also be modified. The exact modifications, if and when they happen, are not yet known. Consequently, and taken together with an expected increase in invitations issued over the coming draws, I would encourage individuals who are currently eligible to enter the pool to do so. It is only once they are in the pool that they can attract the attention of Canadian provinces that are looking to welcome newcomers through a PNP, as well as employers hiring through the system.”

Canada’s Express Entry system had a banner 2018, and the coming year could be even more exceptional.

Canada has invited 7,257 PNP candidates so far in 2022.

On April 13, Canada invited 787 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence.

Canada has invited 5,000 immigration candidates to apply for permanent residence in a new Express Entry draw.

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recently conducted its second Express Entry draw of the week, inviting 1,000 candidates in transport occupations to apply for permanent residence with a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 435.

IRCC invites 7,000 candidates with a minimum CRS score of 490. This is the first all-program draw since January 18.

Express Entry candidates who received a provincial nomination are now one step closer to Canadian permanent residence.
