Move To Canada

Canada plans to admit one million new permanent residents between 2019 and 2021. Only a quarter of them will be admitted via Express Entry.

That's right: three out of four new permanent residents are admitted through other programs, not via Express Entry. And when you also add temporary residents, less than 10% of people who earn the right to work in Canada each year are admitted.

"It must be all family reunification and other non-economic programs, like refugees," we hear.

In fact, if you remove all these programs for family reunification and refugees, Express Entry does not even make up the majority of economic move to Canada!

And then, there are the hundreds of thousands of newcomers who continue to arrive each year with temporary status, with many opportunities to move to permanent residence later.

Canada gives more power to the provinces in the selection of new immigrants. The PNP is now more important than ever.

You may be aware that some provincial appointments increase your CRS Express Entry score by 600 points, but did you know that most PNP streams are not aligned with Express Entry?

Some last word on Express Entry

The purpose of this newsletter is to help you discover other Canadian immigration options, but that does not mean you have to give up or ignore Express Entry. Although the last CRS threshold was 465 points, the lowest threshold for a total draw across all programs was 413 points in 2017. It is difficult to predict the points required for future draws.
