The Canadian government has issued 3,350 invitation to apply  (ITAs) for Canadian permanent residence to candidates in the Express Entry system. This is after a draw was held on February 20th.

Invitations to apply are based on a candidate’s Comprehensive Tanking System (CRS) score, which is based such factors as age, education, skilled work experience, family ties in Canada, and fluency in either English or French. The minimum score for the February 20th draw was 457.

If candidates who apply for Express Entry get selected at one of the drawing, the are granted a permanent resident visa which allows them to migrate to Canada if they are not already living in Canada, or to remain in Canada as permanent residents.

    Kenyan's, check Canada's weather for areas you intend to live in. Check what is happening to those areas weather before you leave your beloved country. Just a thought. Talk to your fellow Kenyans over there and your black brothers in Western countries and make an informed decision.

    You can adapt... weather is nothing. They have enough resources... so don’t be worried about this... lots of opportunities
