IRCC invited 392 Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence in a draw held on January 5, 2022.<\/p>\n
Only\u00a0Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates were invited in the new draw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score cut-off to get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) was 808 points.\u00a0 PNP candidates receive an additional\u00a0600 points towards their Express Entry\u00a0score when they receive their nomination.\u00a0 This is why\u00a0PNP draw scores have higher minimum score requirements\u00a0compared to other invitation rounds.<\/p>\n
In 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited only PNP and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates. The last CEC-specific draw took place on\u00a0September 14, 2021, and since then draws have been specifically focused on PNP candidates.\u00a0The Government of Canada is currently experiencing a significant backlog of applications for permanent residence and only PNP draws are continuing in an effort to help provinces and territories meet their labour market needs.<\/p>\n
In total, during 2021, IRCC issued 114,431 ITAs, which is the highest number since the launch of Express Entry in 2015.<\/p>\n
Express Entry is Canada’s main immigration\u00a0pathway for\u00a0economic immigrants. Candidates who qualify under an Express Entry program can upload a profile to the IRCC website. Once this step is completed, candidates receive a CRS score based on human capital factors such as age, education, language skills and work experience. IRCC holds draws and invites candidates to submit an application for permanent residence generally every two weeks.<\/p>\n
