It is with topmost joy that I write today’s blog article. French knowledge and TEF results have proved to be an asset to invitations of Express Entry applicants. The CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited for this draw was just 454. This happens to be the fourth draw pulled this new year of 2021 after that of the January the 7th which invited applicants with CRS score of 461 upwards and invited 4750 candidates in total. Today’s CRS cut-off score was seven points lower than the previous CEC-specific draw…

The 3-Years Plan
As identified under its new 2021-2023 Immigration Levels Plan, IRCC is seeking to welcome some 110,000 Express Entry immigrants per year. Canada came close to this mark last year, when it had a record-breaking year for Express Entry, issuing a total of 107,350 permanent residence invitations. The Canadian government continues to stress that welcoming high levels of skilled immigrants during and after the COVID-19 pandemic will remain vital to supporting a strong economy.
3 Sub-Programs of Express Entry
Express Entry has been Canada’s primary way of managing skilled worker applications since 2015. There are two steps to the Express Entry process. First, skilled worker candidates need to see if they are eligible for at least one of the following programs: Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class.CRS Requirements
Candidates who are eligible for one of these programs can enter the Express Entry pool by submitting their profile onto IRCC’s website. IRCC will award them a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score that is based on criteria such as their age, education, work experience, language experience, among other human capital factors.
ITA Conditions
In the second step, IRCC operates Express Entry draws usually every two weeks and issues Invitations to Apply (ITAs) for permanent residence to candidates based on IRCC’s policy goals and CRS cut-off requirements. IRCC held a draw for Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates on January 20. Candidates who receive a provincial nomination through Express Entry get an additional 600 CRS points which essentially guarantees they will obtain an ITA. IRCC is yet to hold an all-program draw in 2021.PNP and CEC Draws vs. EE Draws
The return to PNP- and CEC-specific draws is a strong sign that IRCC will rely heavily on Express Entry candidates currently in Canada to try and achieve its immigration targets for 2021. At the same time, it does appear strongly likely that FSWP and FSTP candidates will also be considered for Express Entry draws in 2021, even during the coronavirus pandemic. Last year, IRCC held PNP- and CEC-specific draws when the pandemic began but ended 2020 by holding numerous all-program draws, enabling FSWP and FSTP candidates to also obtain ITAs.
