Canada is breaking record again and again by rolling out unprecedented amount of Invitations to Apply (ITA) with each draw. In the recent Express Entry Draw on November 2, 2016, 2080 candidates received an ITA. For the first time, the number of ITAs has crossed the 2000 mark.
In addendum to this, the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score has been going downhill. The score has fallen from 475 to 472 and is expected to fall further in the coming draws. After receiving the ITA, applicants can apply with Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada for permanent residency.
Express Entry has been Canada’s main source for skilled immigration. It is being seen by Canadians as the analgesic for their aging population. Launched in 2015, the program has seen an immense success and unmatched number of applicants. This program also makes it easier for candidates to apply for skilled immigration.
