Latest Express Entry Draws Invites Thousands!
April 27, 2021
|
In the latest Express Entry draws that recently took place on May 27 and 28, 3,900 lucky newcomers were given a chance to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Since the COVID-19 restrictions were implemented, we have seen a trend in the way that visa applications are currently being processed. Those who have applied through an Express Entry linked Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) as well as those who have applied through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), which are for those who already have Canadian work experience, are being processed more frequently than others. This is due to the backlog caused by COVID-19 restrictions, which has caused some delay in the processing times of applications. With a target of inviting 340,000 newcomers in 2020 and 1 million by 2022, it seems that the Canadian government is moving full steam ahead with visa applications, which is great news for those who have been concerned about whether or not they can still immigrate to Canada. So let's take a look at some of the results from the past two Express Entry Draws.

How Do I Qualify for Express Entry?
To apply through the Express Entry system you will need an Express Entry profile, This profile will contain information about your age, language skills, education, ability to settle in Canada, and work experience if you have any. You will receive a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and will be ranked against other applicants in your draw pool. If you score higher than the cut-off CRS score, you will receive an ITA to apply for Canadian permanent residency. If your profile is not chosen, you will continue to have a chance every two weeks, when Express Entry draws are held for up to 1 year. What’s more, applying through an Express Entry-linked PNP, gives provinces or territories the chance to select your profile directly from the draw pool if you have expressed interest through your online profile or if you have a skill set that is needed. 9 out of the 11 provinces and territories with PNP’s (Provincial Nominee Programs) have “enhanced streams” linked to the Express Entry system, and having a PN is one of the easiest ways to be chosen to receive an ITA. It is important to note however that most PNP streams and categories require that you have a job offer in that province or territory in order to qualify.
