Canada's Latest Express Entry Draw Invites 3600 Candidates to Apply for Permanent Residency
The Canadian government has invited 3,600 individuals who participated in the Express Entry to apply for the country’s permanent residence in the latest draw held on Monday, August 12th.
The cut-off Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score for the August 12th draw was 466, which is seven points up from the 459 cut-off score for the July 24th draw.
Foreigners participating in the Express Entry draw are ranked based o the CRS score, which is based on factors such as the applicant’s age, education, skills level, work experience, proficiency in English or French, family ties to Canada, among others.
Candidates enter a pool, and the best candidates are picked in a draw that takes place every two weeks. An Invitation to Apply (ITA) then gives the candidate the go-ahead to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
52,600 ITAs have thus far in 2019 been issued through the Express Entry program. The government has set a target of 81,400 ITAs for 2019 through this program.
